TRAPPING SEASON SOON

Word from the Fish and Wild life office says that Wrangell men are getting ready now for the sec ond stage of this winters trap ping. The beaver season opens Ap- Til 1 and continues for the entire month Muskrats can also be tran ped during April but the season is closed on all other fur bearers. Wolves and wolverines may 5e trapped at any time but a permit must first be secured from the Game Commission
 A new regulation on the beav- CTS is that it is no longer legal toshoot them; they must be trap ped or snared. As in previous years, trappers are limited to ten pelts a piece and all skins must be sealed before being sold and within 30 days of the close of the season. In other words, Agent Bal tzo stressed, possession of an un- sealed beaver skin after May 30 is illegal

GOVERNOR URGES BOND ISSUE TO FINANCE VET
 AND HEALTH PROGRAM

1 UNEAG-PrOpOsing Territor-
 ial bond issue as a means of fi1-
 ancing adequate health and veter-
 ans legislation, Gov. Ernest Gruen- ] ing delivered his message to a
 joint meeting of the House and
 Senate of the extraordinary ses-
 sion of the Legislature Wednesday
 afternoon. After stressing the need
 for action now in behalf of veter- ans and "our tuberculosis suffer-
 CTS" the Chief Executive said:
 It seems to me that there is one direct method of meeting this problem. a method which would cbviate the possibility of dissension and difference of opinion in the brief 30 days available for this session. It would be worse than unfortunate if dissension over the matter of raising the necessary revenue were to jeopardize the en- actment of the desirable 1egisla- tien for our tuberculosis sufferers and our veterans
 That simple and direct method is to bond the Territory Bond is- sues have been widely used throughout the States to meet the needs of veterans and for other pest war expenditures. Under our Organic Act We are still denied the right to bond ourselves without tie passage of an enabling act by Congress, but there is no question whatever that Congress would pass such legislation and pass it quickly. We can safely proceed on that assumption, using meanwhile, if desired, for whatever initial eX penditures may be required to car rv out such a program, the more than one million dollars of un- obligated balance in the Territor- ial Treasury. Moreover, bonding the Territory would allow time to eonaider between now and the next regular session, a year hence, what revenue measures may be needed to meet the interest and amortiza tion on those bonds.
 There is no question that aa Alaska bond issue, the first of its kind for the purpose indicated, would not only be popularly over subscribed, but that biders for it would be numerous and eager. I commend this solution to your earnest consideration"
 The Governor urged the Legisla ture to take advantage of Federal funds for a health program and he urged the establishment of al southern branch of the University of Alaska as one part of the educa- tional program.
 The Governor recommended pas sage of a highway act which particularly extend the hikhw5" patrol for proper handling of traf- fife when the Alaska highway and Haines Cutoff are opened this

-fLEkd Forest Boles of Forks, Washing ton is dead and Lief Paulson. Sno- homish Wash, is being held with out bond in the Federal jail for the alleged murder of Boles late last Sunday night in an alleged quarrel at the home of Mrs. Juan ita Crawford
 Boles was shot with 45-7o oalibre rifle. the shell entering the left chest and emerging just below the right shoulder blade. lie apparently died almost instantly.
 In hearings held Monday and Tuesday Mrs Crawford. over whom the quarrel is alleged to have talk en place. testified as to events which led up to the shootine. Mrs. Crawford said she had been sleeping i'll the afternoon. Paulson being in the living room, and that Boles had come to the house short ly after she awakened. Later she and Boles left the house returning about 9:3O.
 Paulson, evidently resenting Mrs. Crawford being out with Boles, told Boles 10 leave and Bolcs answered by asking, Why, what have I done?"
 Mrs. Crawford's testimony went further to say that Paulson went into the bedroom with Boles fol- lowing him as far as the kitchen Paulson, she said, fired the rifle from the bedroom at Boles, wno stood in the kitchen Paulson said later he thought the gun was em- pty and he meant merely to fright en Boles.
 Mrs. Crawford testified that af- ter the shot was fired Paulson elected the shell, which was found under the bed. She said she weat ever and shook Boles and. finding him dead, told Paulson to summon the police. She said Paulson told her, remember, this was self de- fense," and he got a pocket knife. wiped the handle and pressed it into Boles' hand. It would not stay in the dead mans hand, how ever, she said, so Paulson put it in a corner near the body.
 Testimony showed that Paulson then left the house and returned later with George Lambert, with whom he had become acquainted. and Lambert, viewing the s.tua-

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

The war veterans, particularly of World War II, promise to be a very potent force in the extra-or- dinary session of the 17th Alaska Legislature which convened in Ju- neau this week Veteran legislation was first on the list of obiectives enumerated in the proclamation calling the session and it became No. 1 hot issue when the lawmak- CTS went into session.
 First indication of which way the wind was blowing was reveal ed in the Housse when it came to the business of electing a Chief Clerk. The names of war veteran Tom Stewart, son of Territorial Commissioner of Mines B. D Stew art; Mrs. Roy Peratrovich aud Mrs. Gren Collins, wife of the Sen ator, were in nomination. A "deaT matched at a Sunday caucus, was to make Mrs. Peratrovich Chief Clerk and young Stewart assistant but nobody wanted to go on re- cord as voting against a war vet eran. The smart boys figured then if they placed Stewart in nomina-' tion for the top job that such a vote would come to pass. Young Stewart, incidentally, did not seek the position. He said he would serve if elected but did not ask for the job. He was satisfied to be as- sistant. Demand was made for a vote first on Stewart. Speaker Jesse Lander, quick on the trigger, ruled the vote would first be taken on Mrs. Peratrovich for temporary chief clerk. She was elected II toi 10. Then came the election of per- manent chief clerk. The flag im- l mediately unfurled Nobody wasI going to vote against a veteran. Result: Young Stewart was elect ed with only one dissenting vote that of Andrew Hope of Sitka.
 * * * *
 Not as pronounced but obvious under the surface was similar feeling in the Senate Senator Steve McCutcheon, son of the late Senator H. H. McCutcheon, had ] been elected to his fathers seat while still in the Army. In fact, i he was diseharged just in time to come to the session. Representa- tive Oscar Gill of Anchorage had filed a protest with the Canvassing | Board against seating young Me- Cutcheon. The Board, however, had ieaued Steve a certification of el- | ection after canvassing the vote and finding him to be the high man. There were rumors and more rumors that the Senate would chal- lenge his right to sit in the Sen ate on grounds he was not a res ident of the Third Division, where he was born and reared, because he had voted in a Fairbanks pre- cinct in 1914. Nothing happened on the opening day. Young Steve was placed on various committees, the Senate eulogized his father and recessed in honor of his mem ory. Just nobody wants to vote a. against a veteran. It may foretell the passing of adequate veteran legislation.
 * * * * *
 As the session opened Rep. Jesse Lander of Fairbanks was again honored by being elected SpeakcT of the House and a similar honor was extended Senator Edward Golf fey. who was again elected Presi- dent of the Senate Both served in those capacities during the regular session. Mrs. Jesta Young was el- ected Secretary of the Senate.
