Dinner Giving Straight Talk in Washington on
 Outlook of Alaska Game

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-lRl- Wolves, aigplanes and an influx of what he described as trigger-happy job-seekers are ruining Alaska s game resources, Earl N. Dinner, chairman of the Alaska Game Commission, said today.
 Dinner, a businessman of Peters burg, 100 miles south of Juneau, and a resident of Alaska 32 years, flew to Washington to bend the ears of everyone in Congress on Territorial wildlife problems.
 Alaska gets $175,000 year for game law enforcement and Fish and Wndlife administration-less than any state" the grey-bearded, bespectacled Ohmer told reporters.
 With $200,000 additional, we could just barely hold the line on our game resources. We could double our game law enforcement, which now consists of seven offi- cers for an area one-fifth the size of the United States.
 We could put on real cam paign to control the greatly in- creased depredations of wolves and coyotes, and we could make a scientific study of our resources
 Alaska's resources have slipped badly"-particularly regarding big game within the past five 'or six years, Dinner said.
 Caribou have decreased the most seriously, from 100000 to about 250,000; reindeer herds have di- unfinished to the point that with in a very short time what rein deer are left will be mixed in with caribou and there won't be any reindeer herds left. as we know them nGW4sasssa
 Commercial fisheries, most valu- able resource in the Territory, are very seriously depleted and decline noticeably every year. Alaska cans 500OO0,000 pounds of pink salmon year, more than 90 percent of the U. s. salmon pack.
 Aside from wolves and coyotes, airplanes and the Alaska Highway have contributed to the decline by making Alaska easier to get to, 2 Dinner said.

 Rain, slush and muddy roads in the area hampered police and oth- CTS in rescue work.

 Mail dt Unimdk

SEATTLE. Jan, l3.--tRt- Coast Guard headquarters announced to- day that a self-propelled Army barge with an unknown number aboard, is reported sinking near the Alaska Peninsula.
 The Coast Guard said the barge, the BSP-i927, ran into trouble while enroute to the aid of the Aleutian Mail, which ran aground yesterday morning on the south- west tip of Unimak Island.
 The distress call from the barge was reported only a short time af- ter the Coast Guard said it had been expected to reach the Aleut- ian Mail at a. m.
 The Cutter Clover, which had been dispatched yesterday to pick up the crew of the Aleutian Mail, was ordered diverted to the aid of the barge
 The ESP reported it's position as about 40 miles southwest of Cold Bay, which is near the end of the Alaska Peninsula, which reaches far out toward the Aleutians.
 It was believed to have run agroundN because the distress call, as relayed to the district head quarters here from the Coast Guard at Ketchikan, mentioned being on Phin. Point on Deer Island, a tiny one south of the Peninsula.
 Weather was reported good in the area.
 The last report on the Aleut- ian Mail was that the II seamen aboard it were in mo immediate danger"
 The Aleutian Mail radioed to the Ketchikan base that it had run almost straight aground without serious damage or injury to any crew members.
 The cutter has been scheduled to reach 1t this morning.
 The Aleutian Mail is a wooden hulled 263-ton craft It was en- route from the Boring Sea to Sew ard. The home port is Juneau. Owned by Jesse H. Petrich, who also was in command of it, it is manned by crew from Alaska and Seattle.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l3,-lRl- Republicans set out today to chop some S5,O0O 100000 out of President Trumans $39, ,669 100000 budget for the year starting July 1.
 The Foreign Program appeared likely to be the main target of the money saving drive.
 A S5,000, ,0000 900 slash was the ten tative goal set by Chairman Taber R-NY pending a meeting of the Senate House Budget Committee to go over details of the unprecedented peacetime spending estimate MT. Truman sent to Congress yesterday.
 While Taber declined to specify just what items most likely would be singled out for cuts, he noted that the Presidents estimate of ac- tual foreign aid outlays during the year and his requests for funds to finance other projects not yet au- thorized by law run well over $5,- 900 100000.

Army Barge Reported Sinking 70 Westward
Problems Reiarding Alaska
 Development Presented at
 Siates Conference, Portland

PORTLAND, Jan. 13--tR-Alask- an development hinges on clarifi- cation of Indian land title claims and improvement of the Alcan and other highways and marine ship ping problems. spokesmen for the Territory told a Western States Council conference here yesterday.
 A suggestion that only the more pcpulous southeast portion of the Territory came from Ralph Lo- men, Nome, chairman of the Alaskan delegation of Chamber of Commerce officials.
 Lomen asserted the 50,000 whites in the north could not support the expense of adequate state govern ment. His statement came as Mayor Carl Velvestad of Peters, eurg, Alaska, urged the western Chambers of Commerce to support statehood Lomen said state could be created from the area south of the Yukon River and west of the l52nd meridian.
 Other Alaska speakers blamed the Indians for retarding the in- dustrial development along the heavily timbered region of the inland passage shores. R. E. Rob- ertson, Juneau attorney. said the Indian claims, resulting from an Interior Department policy, had prevented at least eight pulp mills being established.
 The Council voted to seek legis- laticn that would end the power of the Secretary of Interior to create or expand Indian reserva- tions in Alaska

TAFT kI(K } ON pROpO5AL, RATION MEAT

WASHINGTON, Jan. ..--lR-- Sounding key note of Republican opposition to meat rationing, Sen- ator Taft (Ohio) predicted today it would revive black markets and lead to even higher prices.
 The Ohioan told a reporter that while he is not completely barring rationing or price controls, he does not believe that meat rationing would work.
 Meat is the one thing most sus- ceptible to black market operations. I am afraid that we would have a repetition of the time when cattle were killed widely on the farms instead of at the slaughtering hous- es, with the hides and other by-pro- ducts being lost.
 Certainly the people who got beef through the black market would have to pay even higher prices for it than they are now and great many people would get practically none at all.'

 WASHINGTON = Until he died last week, Charlie Nicholson, one time high priest of Democratic strategy, had sunk completely out of the public eye.
 There was a time when politi- cians lined up outside his door, when Senators sought his help, when Cabinet members submitted their speeches to his seasoned eye in order to gauge public reaction.
 There had been a day when he helped steer Henry Wallace away from sensational publicity in connection with an astrologist, and when he aided the then uncertain path of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the difficult days of 1892.
 But those days have been gone sometime now, and in his latter days Charlie Nicholson was largely forgotten. The people who once sought his counsel came no longer to his door Day after day passed and cnly a trained nurse sat opposite him as he played soli- taire.
 There were a few, however, who stuck by the aging Nicholson to the very end, and most faithful among them was man who had nothing to do with politics. Scarce
