Salmon Catch Poorest in
 Alaska $ History : Dis cuss Game Situation
By vERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27-tR- Alaska is experiencing it's poor lest salmon fishing season in his- tory, Director Albert M Day of the Fish and Widlife Service said today
 Through the third week in August Southeast Alaska had can ned only 80.000 cases of pink salmon. compared with 340,000 on the corresponding date year ago and 160,000 at the comparative date in, ,l946, Day said
 The sockeye salmon catch in the Bristol Bay area was somewhat better, he added-1, ,350,000 cases this season against 100000 cases last year.
 The salmon pack is the chief source of income in Alaska" Day told reporter.
 "A lot of communities are af- fected by the poor catch. It's pretty serious for the whole Terri tory -
 < Day has retuified from q plane automobile tour of several weeks throughout Alaska.
 Reports On Game
 He said the Territory's moose herds are holding up pretty well. :" But the caribou and mountain sheep populations are decling mo- ticeably.
 There is a crying need. regard ing Alaska's commercial and sport fish and big game. for better man. agement. stricter law enforcement. greater knowledge. and more man. power and equipment to do a de- cent job,' said Day.
 "Alaska's rapid population grow tn. the expansion of her highway system and the wider use of air. planes is making great inroads on fish and game resources.
 Staff Too Small
 We have only eight full-time game law enforcement officers and 10 fishery agents for that vast area-a smaller staff as far as game management is concerned than that of the state of Delaware. It's almost futile to try to con- trol hunting and fishing under such circumstances.
 Day said the service predicted two years ago that 1948 would be poor year for Alaska salmon. The basis for the prediction was the poor run in 1946, which represented the parent cycle for the 1948 fish cry.
 Severe Regulations
 The 1948 fishing regulations ac- cordingly were more severe than last year, the season opening Aug. g compared with June 25 last year. An unusually dry summer, which has lowered most of the spawning streams, aggravated the situation, Day said, and it was necessary to close Southeastern Alaska fishing entirely for the week of August 16-22.
 Fishing has been resumed. The season ends September 3.
