 WOLVES SLAIN

Chaser, Predatory Ami nal Control Agent for the Fish and Wild1ife Service, now working in cooperation with the Alaska Ma tive Service on protection of rein ceer herds, reports unparalleled winter conditions on Seward Pen insula, it was disclosed here today by Jack O'Connor, F&WL Game Management Supervisor.
 Chaser declared the weather iil the Teller area during the month of March was the worst he has ever seen and oldtimers of thearea agree with him. Through the greater part of the month, temperatures ranged between 30 and 40 degrees below zero with winds generally of gale proportion. He reports that one night his tent blew down and he narrowly escaped freezing to death before he could reset it Four native herdsrs whose tent burned had to break trail for home through a raging gale as they would have been unable to survive in the open without protection.
 Agent Chaser, using traps and coyote getters', succeeded in dis posing of nine wolves and two wol- verine around the Teller reindeer herd. During the last part of March, native herders reported no more deer lost, indicating that all predators close about the Eerd had heen destroyed.
 Glaser has worked also along the Arctic slope and has taken some wolves there. However, he says he has been handicapped by over enthusiasm of the natives, whose efforts to help have resulted in spelling a good many of tke Agents sets.

Approximately cne-half or two-thirds of all Alas kan hospitals are at present under contract, and the Board is work ing toward affiliation with the re- mainder.
 A substantial number of cases for hospitalization of veterans has been authorized, MT. Karnes said. Two or three requests for this ser- vice are received almost daily.
 Disability Checks
 The director said that beginning with this month, pension disability checks for disabled veterans will be written in the Juneau headquarters office.
