Jap Menace
 Was Break
 For Seal Herd
By WILLIAM L. W0RDEN
 AP Features

ANCHORAGE, Alaska For the seals on St. George and St. Paul, the peace is over and war has be- gun again. Peace was nice while it lasted for a full year, but this sea- son the seals losses will be higher than ever.
 The seals on these two Pribilof Islands had reason last year to be thankful to the Axis and especially to Japan. For the war begun by the Japanese gave the seals their first respite in a private war which has been going on for nearly a cen tury and more than once has threatened the existence of the en- tire herd.
 Temporary Breather
 But this respite was temporary. This year the natives who have waged annual war on certain of the seals under United States gov ernment direction since 1915 are a. gain on the Pribilofs slaughtering the young males. The government plan is to harvest more fine fur seal pelts than have been taken in 2S years. The value of these belts is estimated at between $125.O00 and $150,O00 compared to $9O,O00 realized from belts in the 1941 harvest. No pelts were taken last year.
 Crew Battles
 Battles between Japanese, Rus sian and American sealing ship crews were common after Alaska was sold to the United States and Jap sovereignty was established ov- CT the Kurile islands. The fur hunt CTS began centering their activities on the Pribilof herds, which took a terrible beating.
 From nearly 2,000,0O0 the herd declined to 125,00O and was saved from extinction finally by a sealing treaty signed in 1915 by the three nations, which Outlawed pelagic sealing entirely.
 The beginning of World War II for the United States meant the end of everybody's plans in connection with the Pribilof seals.
 After Dutch Harbor, even the Aleuts on the Pribilof Islands were removed as a precautlon against al possible Japanese attempt to take those rocky vantage points just outside Bristol Bay.
 So last summer there was no sealing season. The year-old bull seals, from whose number the belts are taken under the controlled kill ing plan, went scot-free for a full year-a generation in seal society.

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 4-The in
crease in alcoholic beverage tax re-
ceipts collected during November
did not indicate a greater supply of
whisky in the State, State Controller

The controller announced yester-
day that Sill 800 more in tax re-
ceipts was collected last month than
in the corresponding month a year
ago. Receipts totaled $543,699 last

Congress had been debating the
proposed tax increase on Whistles
during last summer and early fall
and evidently purchasers decided to
buy heavily during September and
October of 1912 in order to avoid
additional heavy Federal taxes" Mr.
Tawes said. This is probably the
reason for the slump during Novem-

substitute. Senators Eastland and
Mcclellan said they would go before
the House Committee and recon-
mend inclusion of an amendment,
requesting the States to waive reg
istration requirements for men away
in military service.
Shortly before adopting the
States-right proposal, the Senate
rejected so to 30, the plan of Sena-
tor Danaher. Republican of Con-
necticut, to let servicemen vote by
proxy, by designating a relative or
friend to 60 to the polls for them
on election day.
Lucas Assails Action.
After the Senate had taken the
final vote against the Green-Lucas
bill, Senator Lucas declared:
THE adoption of the Eastland
substitute was the hardest blow ever
struck at the political rights OF a
soldier in time of war. AS result,
there is not single soldier from
Illinois or any other State with State
restrictions, serving outside the
United States, who will have an
opportunity to vote in the most i'm
portant presidential election since
1864. Those who favored the pass
age Of this amendment will have
to accept the responsibility to the
soldiers, their fathers, mothers,
wives and friends"
Mr.. Rankin commended the sub
stitute will encourage more service
men to vote, because the regular
State ballot will contain the slate
of local candidates, who will be
known to the soldiers, as well as
the presidential and congressional
tickets. The Federal ballot would
have been limited to President, Sen
ator and Representative.

marines were still staggering ashore,
carrying the limp forms of buddies
between them.
The heaviest fire came from Jap

merchant ship. Assault waves were
held up while our dive bombers went
to work on it, dropping high explo-

We settled the matter by sending
aboard men to wipe out the snipers
in hand to hand combat, and to hold
it as an outpost.
Shortly before noon the Japs
opened up on us with mortars. One
landed near enough to tear the top

The Japs had been working

mander of Betio.
Must Keep Going.
Capt. Gould issued a message to
all hands today saying I'VE must
keep going in spite of anything they
throw at us. When you're tempted
to take things easy or wash up
again during the limited daylight
hours, recall to your memory the
sight which met your eye when you
hit the beach here and ask your
self whether you can keep going
little longer either at your regular
work or helping shipmates."
The Japs' runway had a 10-inch
coral bottom, topped by Ia to 3
inches of coral concrete, but this
was of insufficient strength for our
planes. The Seabees now are scrap
ing reefs and bringing up wet, live
coral for the new field surface.
The Seabees said warships and
planes did a fine job in keeping as
many of their shells and bombs
away from the field as possible.
