3 More Homes Visited;
 Police Ask Cooperation

Kodiak has been the. scene of much petty pilfering lately, numerous homes have been broken into, large sums of jewell Ey, money and other valuables have been taken, and as yet none of the thieves have been apprehended.
 It is felt that in many of these cases the thieves could be app pFehended if citizens would re- port suspicious movements to proper authorities, both before snd after a robbery occurs.
 It is urged that local citizens cooperate with local police to the fullest extent, as the next possi- ble victim may be you.
 To aid in bringing the miscre- ants to justice do the following:
 l. Take every precaution that your property is not entered. Lock the doors on leaving and do not leave large sums or jewell " around inviting some one to aake them.
 2. Immediately you discover your home or place of business has been entered report 1t to the Chief of Police or U. s. Marshal.
 ,. If you see anyone whom you suspect is committing or a. bout to commit a crime get a complete description of the man, note whether he is a civilian or Army or Navy personnel, and make a report as soon as possi- ble.
 4. If any suspicious-looking characters, or the presence of any civilian or serviceman in a neighborhood where he is likely pot to have any legitimate busi- ness are immediately reported to officials, it will aid ID break ing the present epidemic of pil- fering

.aIgren Bill Analysed By
 Delegate
By Delegate A. J. pimOnd

WASHINGTON-On March g, the Senate Committee on Commerce re ported the bill, s. 93O, favorably There is no dissenting or minority opinion and, therefore, I suppose we may consider the report as eXpres- sing the unanimous opinion of that Committee Copies of the report and of the bill as proposed to be amend ed were immediately mailed to Al aska.
 The report, as an example of special pleading, is in some respects admirable. But the report, no mat ter how skillfully put together, should not be permitted to deceive anyone into believing that the bill as reported is much changed from the form in which it was originally introduced. The bill is still, in my judgment largely, if not entirely objectionable to most Alaskans for the following reasons:
 1. The report is evidently design ed to give the impression that the inhibition contained in the White Act (Act of June 6, 1924 against any exclusive or several right of fishery" is unchanged. That provi- sion was put in the White Act to prevent the parceling out of fishing areas to designated individuals or corporations, to the exclusion of all others, and is intended to provide for equality of opportunity for all citizens Let us here compare the relative provisions of the white Act and of the bill as recommended by the Committee. The White Act states that no exclusive or several rights of fishery shall be granted therein, nor shall any citizen of the United States be denied the right to take, prepare, cure or preserve fish or shellfish in any area of the wat CTS of Alaska where fishing is per mitted by the Secretary of Com merce." The bill as now proposed by the Committee has the following corresponding provision: Tt is fur ther declared to be the policy of the United States that, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ACT,
The Wrangell sentinel., 1944-03-31

no exclusive or several right of fishery shall be granted in any of the waters of Alaska, nor shall any citizen of the United States be de- nied the right to take, prepare, cure or preserve fish or shellfish in any area of the waters of Alaska, not in- cluded in the coastal waters of the Annette Island Reserve, where fish ing is permitted by the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior"
 On page 6 of the Committees re- port reference is made to "the re- enactment without change of the language of the existing law and "the Committee believes that 1eav- ing unchanged the language of ex- isting law.
 Those. two declarations of the re- port are not factually correct and should not be relied upon. A com parison of the language of the White Act forbidding the granting of any exclusive or several rights of fishery and the language of the pro- posed bill shows that the bill does repeat the language of the White Act but also contains the following words which ought to be written in capitals and underlined in red ink: subject to the provisions of this Act" In other words, the White Act of 1924, with its inhibitions against exclusive or several right of fishery, is to remain unchanged except as modified by the provisions of the bill. And the bill does modify the provisions of the White Act almost without limit because the bill pro- Yides for the granting of leases to trap sites, thus giving the exclusive and several right to fish to those sites. with provision for renewal and with other provisions establishing priority rights virtually in perpetu- ity; and the bill also contains pro- visions requiring licenses of those who fish with all types of gear. So, if the bill is passed in the form now presented, the above-quoted provi- sion of the White Act is clearly meaningless And, therefore, the re- port is, in the respect mentioned, so far from being dependable that it may actually deceive those who fail to make factual check on the statements therein contained.
 2. As indicated above, the fea- lures of the original bill relating to fish traps remain virtually un- changed in the bill as reported by the Committee. In commenting upon this feature of the measure, the Committee Report (page ID con- tains the following: "As to the leg al debate so-called vested rights,
The Wrangell sentinel., 1944-03-31

the committee is likewise satisfied that what is provided in section T
 Is no more than the situation in all fairness requires. The permit or Ieaseholder has no right to continue fishing if the director closes any area for conservation reasons. If the per mittee or leaseholder has his fishing privilege taken away because con servation requires that it be taken.
 he has DO right to compensation. Moreover, under S. 930. if the hold CT of a permit or lease dies. his heirs cannot inherit or if he wants
 to sell he cannot do so, without specific permission of the Director. If the permittee or leasee abuses the fishing privilege, including the de liberate continuous nonuse. he like wise loses his permit or lease. In addition, the lapse of a complete fishing cycle may destroy a priority

GOOD GOVERNMENT STARTS AT HOME
Publisbed every Friday at Wrangeli, Alaska, by

Next Tuesday, April 4, Is munich pal election day in Wrsngell. It is the day that between the hours of g a, m. and 2 ?. n. every registered voter in Wrangell should go to the voting booth at the City Hall and cast his or her ballot for a Mayor, three members of the Town Council and a member of the School Board. And fl you happen to be one of those who haven't registered, it's no alibi. You have all day tomorrow % go up to the City Hall and do so. The books will be open Saturday afternoon in order to accommodate everyone.
 We can all stand on the street corner and do our share of crying about the national government or the Territorial government, and be- ing territorials we haven't much to say about the national setup, but We haven't, in the interests of good government, much complaint com ing if we do not mind our own municipal duties Good government starts at home, in the municipality, like good politics germinates from the local precinct.
 It ts our considered opinion that 1t is just as important, if not more so, that the next Town Council be made Up of good citizens who will look after and look forward to the interests of this community, as who the next President or members of Congress might be. Good govern ment in this community and every like community in the Territory means good Territorial government. The fallacy that good government comes from the top and is dOled out by edict has long since been ex- ploded, as witness through history the fall of empires built on such a premise. Our system-the democrat ic system-is the system of rule from the people from the grass roots; from the municipality in this case. If the local government is sound, the higher government can not go sWry.
 It is net the fair function, nor the desire, of this newspaper to in- dfcate how anyone should vote in this election. Elsewhere in it's col umns we shall endeavor to have a list of the candidates. Take your choice

even during these busy days let's try
to remember the little things that
make for neatness.
Miss Margaret McPheeters, nutri-
ton specialist of the University of
Maryland Extension Service, gives
us some proper precautions in the
canning of snap beans that will in

this method in canning beans. If
you do not have cooker, then you

1,iY,o oor,tor
Snap beans can be canned in a hot
water bath, but because of the
danger of botulinus, special precau-
ton must be taken when the beans
are opened. Boil them for at least
ten minutes before serving to be
sure that the toxin produced by this
organism is destroyed should it be
present.
Miss McPheeters says the essential
steps for canning beans are:
l. Have good quality, young,
tender beans.
2. Look over nd thoroughly
clean beans by washing through
several waters.
3. Snip off ends, especially stem
end, and break beans in small pieces.
4 Cover beans with boiling wa
ter and boil three to FIVE minutes.
5. Pack hot beans into hot, sterile
jars and fill jars with water the
beans were cooked in.
6. Shake beans down well for
full pack and remove air bubbles
with knife
Z. Add l teaspoon salt to each
quart of beans.
8. Adjust lids. Place jars in

and 3-312 hours in hot water bath.
The water in the pressure cooker
should be four inches deep. The
petcock should be open for at. least
10 minutes while the water is boil

are escaping. Close petcock and
let pressure rise to 10 lbs, then be-
gin timing processing time. After

and let pressure gauge go down to

zero, release steam.
9. Remove jars from cooker and

placed in the cooker Cool jars as
quickly as possible. Do not crowd
Jars while cooling, and when they
are thoroughly cooled, label and
