PORTLAND, Ore, July l4---Hunt- ing regulations for ducks and geese will not be relaxed this year Ii states take the advice of the U. $. Fish and Wildlife Service, Director Ira N. Gabrielson says.
 Increased hunting and fishing and depleted flocks make it impossible to ease such laws. he said. Gabrielson declared he would oppose any at tempt to bring back live decoys or "baiting" duck ponds.
 Since migratory waterfowl travel interstate, states often adhere to the recommendation of the Fish and Wildlife Service, a branch of the Department of the Interior, in writ ing laws.
 Gabrielson stopped here on his way to Seattle, where he will meet five congressman to tour Fish and Wildlife projects in Alaska.

High Explosives Whistle Ashore from MuzzIes of

ABOARD BATTLESHIP SOUTH DAKOTA IN SIGHT OF JAPAN, July IA. - High explosives, bearing made in America stamp, wni ltiei for two hours from flaming muzzles of big naval guns into the great Japanese iron works at Kamaishi in northern Honshu today.
 It was my privilege to watch this bombardment ot Japan for the tirsC time in this war--a bombardment which caused sky-reaching explo- sions and started roaring fires which blanketed the area with smoke.
 A battle squadron of three battle ships, two heavy cruisers and num- erous destroyers, was in plain sight of Japan for three hours before the bcmbardment started and for some time sfterward.
 For two hours the squadron sWag- ecred back and forth within rifle shot of Oashu, drawing only most meager and apparently time oppcsi- ten
 It was as if you strutted back and fcrth on some enemy's front porch, peeped into his front door, messed up his parlor and asked him what ho proposed to do about 1t.
 The Japanese chose to do very little about it.
 As this is written there is no report of damage to American yes- sels in this action, one of the most spectacular of the Pacific War.
 Kamaishi is PTS miles north of Tokyo It has pre-war population of about 42.000, but an influx of workers to the steel mills is believed to have swelled it to nearly twice that.
 The Imperial Iron and Steel Works, prime target of the bom- barding warships. is one of the most important in the whole Japanese Empire.

INSULAToR5 SHOT AWAYpuT JUNEAU
 IN HOUR OF DARK

Juneau was plunged into darkness for more than an hour last evening by grounding of power supply lines outside the city.
 The occurrence which could have had disastrous consequences had an emergency arisen--was attributed by power officials to insulators having been shot off high power lines leading down Salmon Creek basin by minimizing persons.
 After approximately 30 minutes of darkness, a test of the system re- stored lights for few minutes but the ground was still effective and brought about a renewed period of lightlessncss.
 Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com- pany maintenance crews were still laboring under pressure today to repair the system against further consequences of the criminally ir- responsible action of the marks men" who proved their skill on insulators.

Wallgren of Washington State.

 MT. Hart said he was most anX- ious' to see the highway constructed but felt that there was such mu- tual interest between the people of British Columbia and the North western United States that anything that was done should be carried out with the closest cooperation on both sides.
 Kirby Billingsley of Wenatchee, Wash, head of the American dele gation, officially advised Premier Hart that ha had heard from Sen ator Warren G. Magnuson to the effect that President Truman, upon his return from the European con- ference, would get in touch with Prime Minister Mackenzie King inn mediately to negotiate with him on construction of the Alaska Highway through British Columbia on mu- tual basis.

 No Opposition
 The bomhapdnaent < force. com mandcd by Rear Adm. J. F. sha- froth of Denver, apparently did not meet any Japanese opposition
 In his report to Admiral Nlinitz, Shafroth did not mention opposi- ton by shore batteries or planes. His sannounceincnt that the shef- ling continued for two hours indi- cates, also. that the results were closely observed by slow flying ob- servaticn planes from cruisers and battleships.
 Clcse observation would have been required for the Admiral to "0~ort. without qualification, that the Imperial Iron and Steel Works rolling mill was demolished"
 The latest communique was the fourth issued by Admiral Nimitz today. a record number and said the fleet operated off Japan's shore from a distance of only 10 miles.
 Even as the guns roared, swarms of carrier planes that only five days before had raked Tokyo's air. fields were raining bombs, bullets and rockets ,cn northern Honshu and the northermost island of Hok- kaido-the latter never before touched by American air power.
 Thus did Adm. William. F, Hal scy carry war relentlessly home to Japan dcfying what is left of the enemy fleet and seeking out the hoarded air force which Nippon is saving against the day of invasion.

 But the President was not lone ly on his last night in Independ- ence, Mo. It was one of his most enjoyable evenings since he enter ed the White House. Truman spent it playing poker with old friends, all members of the "Harpy Club, v an. organization of Independence businessmen, founded in 1925. The game was at the home of Louis L. Compton, owner and manager of an Independence bot.ling works.
 Truman, as the hometown boy who made good, was given the hon. or ofs dealing the first hand. It was dealers choice and he chose seven-card stud.
 All players. nine of them, dropped out except the President and John Hutchinson, an Independence coal dealer Six cards were dealt. Hutch inson had two Jacks showing and another Jack down.
 The President, who had bluffed Hutchinson into two raises, had two Queens showing and nothing down except a nine-spot and a seyen- spot.
 Came the last card. Hutchinson drew a trey, Truman a Queen That gave the President three Queens to Hutchinsons three Jacks and he raked in the pot.
 It amounted to S1.65.
 Note-Missouri friends are hop ing Truman will be just as good a poker player when he sits down with the best. of all diplomatic card sharkS-Joe Stalin.
