GAME GROUP WANTS AlD;;'
 WOLF PLANS
Agent Sarber Takes 200 Wolves with New
 Method of Killing

What began as a quiet discussion of sea lion problems between the Alaska Game Commission and the Legislature ended up today in 2 wholesale condemnation of Secrc- $ tary of the Interior Harold Ickes j national park wolf farms" ! Legislators from the fish and game E committees of both houses met this s morning with the now convened Alaska Game Commission with veteran game commissioner Earl Oh mer of Petersburg acting as chair r man.
 | During the neeing the Commis- sion announced, in the words of Chairman Dinner, "a sure-fire new system of wolf control that has been in an experimental stage for . two years.
 f Experiments with the new system of wolf killing, employing a special type of poison in manner that Is . said to take wolves and coyotes only. were conducted in the main by Wildlife Agent Hosea Sarber of Petersburg. Sarber decleared he had taken over 200 wolves in the past two years with the new method.
 5000 SAslSed 4t1ts-s '4 Il Announcing itself ready to carry . the program out in other divisions 2 of the Territory, Hnow thatwe know how to handle it,v the Commission asked the Legislature to appropriate .2neon to make extension of the plan possible.
 Representative Ed Anderson Mayor of Nome, keynosed the dis ctission when the inevitable Mt Mckinley park argument arose. Ii has been the policy of the National Park Service not to permit killing of wolves and coyotes within theil boundries.
 we are being asked to raise the bounty on wolf Anderson said and still, while we might be able to cure the wolf problem in one part of the country, what can we do when the wolves keep breeding unmoisstad in places like Mount Mckinley ePaak?'
 l & This Guy Ickes" { Second Divisioners suffering wolf ravages to their reindeer herds were 1 particularly desirous of determining a way to force this guy Ickes' and his National Park Service" into line. It was brought out that the Alaska Game Commission as well las the Legislature has repeatedly urged predatory controls be extend- ed to such areas at Mount McKin- Hey Park, but we can't get any wfere" E On the sea lion question, legisla- Etols, who have passed memorials in lboth houses asking Congress for Ter tlisf recited again their various req sons for asking sea lion herds be difninished and were informed the Fish and Wildlife Service has all ready taken steps in the matter. It was announced by w. E. Crouch, head of the game division of the [ Fish and Wildlife service, that plans fer an investigation have been al- ready gotten under way.
 Investigators Coming
 Crouch said group of investiga- tors will probably arrive in the Territory about the first of May
 Legislators took advantage of the opportunity to air other troubles be- fore the Game Commission, urged control of indescriininate moose kill ing by airplane hunters in the An chorage area, asked an earlier op- ening of the duck season in, the southern end of Southeast Alaska. and got back to wolves again with discussion of bounty payment.

from the Senate to the Territorial Attorney General, asking an inter- pretation of the Legislatures au- thority to impose additional duties on Federal officers.
 "Geeing-Hawing"
 The "geeing and having" that went on over House Joint Mem orial No. 3, was first centered around an error in transmitting the measure from the House. The bill as received was ruled by President Coffey to be Not true bill" as it did net show what the original memorial had been amended before passage by the House.
 President Coffey ordered the me- morial sent back to the lower chamber, from where it was shortly again received, this time in proper form, being noted "as amended" The President referred it again to the Judiciary Committee and declared recess during which the committee repeated the preparation of it's do pass" report.
 Following recess, the memorial was again brought up for second reading under suspended rules. Then Senator Walker stepped into the picture with motion for in definite postponement. The Rules Committee had delivered an inter pretation that such a motion, all lnougn of the privileged category, was not in order until the measure had been read and was under con- sideration. The chair, perforce, sus- tained the committee, and Senator Walker appealed from the ruling of the chair By an II to 4 vote, the Presidents ruling was upheld and the bill was read.
 Divorce Argument
 Senator Walker then proposed an amendment designed to defeat the purpose of the memorial His amendment would have made 23 months the period required before filing for divorce in Alaska. It was defeated following short discussion, in which Senator Joe Green pointed out the folly of bothering Congress with a request for such an in- significant change in the law as cutting one month from the two- year period now required
 Moved along again under sus- pended rules to the final passage stage, the memorial was attacked by Senator Walker on the ground that it was Not a bill for true Alaskans," that it's sole possible benefits would be for undesirable persons who might be attracted to an Alaska divorce Mecca"
 Senator Howard Lyng made answer to the effect that one year is considered sufficient to obtain and other rights of residence within the Territory and that there ap- peared no good reason for dis elimination as regards divorce matters. i Nu dts cl'f

North Carolina introduce an Alaska statehood bill? That was a ques- tion which naturally occurred inn mediately to Delegate Bartlett when he heard that MT. Erwin, who is serving his first term in the House from the tenth Congressional dis .rict Of North Carolina, intended 10 offer such a bill. The Delegate .rranged at once for meeting with Congressman Erwin to find out what his interest in Alaska was.
 MT. Erwin, affabIe and intelligent who practised law for nineteen years before coming t. Congress, rel lated that his interest in Alaska had 5een aroused even before Pearl Har- Ger. His studies convinced him that rot only should a highway be built between continental United Statea md the Territory but it should be extended to Boring Strait and thence through Siberia to China as Q means of transporting supplies to China in their struggle against Japan. After Pearl Harbor his in- terest was intensified, and he en- gagged in extensive correspondence with former Delegate Dimond and otker Washington officials.
 As he learned more about the
 Territory, MT. Erwin became in- ereasingly convinced that it should he the 49th State, and in his cam paign he made statehood for Alas ka one of the issues. of his plat fcrrn-certainly the only non-Alas- kan who took such an interest in the subject.
 The North Carolina Congressman gays he will work actively for the passage of this measure

The bill is special appropriation measure to reimburse the I've Funeral Home in Fairbanks $90 for expenses in- cured for the burial of Petro Yabovancian, who was killed by Federal law agents while resisting arrest.
 Maynard declared that the Terri torial Auditor had refused to allow payment of the claim by the Well fare Department on the ground that the claim was properly against the Federal Government, being the business of the U s. Commissioner at Fairbanks. The Federal GovHlnr rent has already refused to pay the bill because no fi1quest was held, as required by statifte.. '"
 Senator O. D. Cochran summed up the situation when he asked: Tt seems to me as broad as it is long" why should the Territory pay this bill out of the General Fund when the Auditor has already declared it should not be a debt against the Welfare Fund?

A FUND and A BANK.

The purpose of the fund is to enable each
nation to secure what is called foreign exchange
at price previously agreed upon.
There is nothing complicated about foreign
exchange. 1t is nothing more or less than an
other nations money. If Sweden, for example,
wants to buy from America, she must get hold
of some American dollars; if America wants to
buy from Sweden, she must get hold of some
Swedish kronor.
AS matters now stand, as further example,
there is no way of knowing in advance how many
kronor be bought with dollar or how many
kronor it will take to buy dollar.
The fund proposes to insure that given
rency shall always be worth substantially the
same in terms of other nations currencies and
thus tend to stabilize it's buying power in inter-
national trade. This is what is meant when the
fund is called a sterilization fund.
The monetary experts who met at Breton
Woods last summer established quotas for A
participating nations, set the sum each should
contribute toward the sterilization fund. The
size of each nations quota depends upon its for
eign trade, its income, and its gold stock.
