 One major bill for which there had been still a last minute hope didn't make it. No general housing legislation was passed although a. very minor part of such a biuI squeezed through.
 Cut Income Taxes
 Here are some of the major things Congress did or did not do:
 It did enact:
 The global foreign aid program and $6,03O,00O,OOO appropriation to finance it for the first year.
 A $4,800,OOO income tax reduc- tion bill.
 The Taft-Hartley labor manage ment act. Unification of the armed forces under a Secretary of Defense.

BARTLETT ASKS WILDLIFE AID FOR ALASKA
AP SPECIAL SERVICE

WASHINGTON, - (P0 Dele gate Bartlett D-Alask0 today urged the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice to consider extending it's CO operative game management pro- gram to the University of Alaska.
 Noting that the service already has instituted the program Qn a cooperative basis with sereral land grant colleges, Bartlett said that inclusion of the Alaska University might be profitable to all con cerned."
 We know that all game ani- mals and fur bearers constitute a leading Alaska resourse,' he wrote Secretary of the Interior Krug.
 Tt is a resource that can be depleted absolutely if appropri- ate steps are not taken soon. We all know, too, that the failure of the Congress to make adequate appropriations for the protection of Alaskan wildlife is a matter of utmost concern to everyone who has looked into the matter.
 ''I should think that inaugur- ation of a game management pro- gram at the University of Alaska would serve a variety of useful purposes not the least of which would be the training of young AL askans in game management af- fairs"

APOLOGY TO YOUNGSTERS

The Fourth of July Committee wishes to apologize 10 those Chil- dren who went to such great pains to interpret characters indicative of the occasion. Had there been less of confusion on account of indictment weather and our sin cere desire to show our visiting tourists asA much fun as possible, we would in all probability have handled the judging differently. Our visitors were not aware of the request we had made as to costume, etc, and it was largely their applause that decided the winners. So, UNCLE SAM COUL- THARD, THE LITTLE SAILOR, GEORGE and MARTHA WASH INGTON SMITH, and the many other fine characterizationS, our sincere apologies. You did a fine job and should have been judged from the others, though we are sincerely grateful for their participation and our visitors were very much impressed.
