This is Ballot Biology.


 Through it the serious business of conservation the wise of natural resources becomes the prey of the rabble- -rouser
 NO thoughtful voter will deny the wisdom and desrability of conserving and perpetuang our fish, cry and thus to provide food for a as well as sport for the sportsman.
 Granted that conservation is wise and that it is wholly desirable to protect and perpetuate our fish, cry Who shall say how best to conserve?
 sIs it the pressure bloc with it's selfish aims and petition circuators? Or is it the trained biologist astir with the spirit of research?
 All of the Pacific States have adequate means for dealing effectively with the conservation per- petuaton of their fisheries. They have scientific re- search divisions staffed with competent biologists These report their findings to the administra- ton charged with supervision the fisheries They have the power to regulate may be necessary, or to to the legislatures where statutes are required.
 Furthermore, the Pacific Marine Fisheries Con- mission exists to coordinate the studies and regulations of the several States in fisheries of interest
 The proper approach to fishery conservation is through these responsible agencies, by means of scientific research and intelligent administration rather than through the initiative petition

BIOLOGISTS-OR POLITICIANS?

Ballot Biology is the title of an editorial pub lished on the front of the September issue Of Pacific Fisherman. The writer actually is discussing a situation in Oregon and California but he might well have been referring to the referendum appearing on the Territorial election ballot October 12
 Briefly the Pacific Fisherman argues that trained biologists are better able to decide measures for the conservation fish than rabble rousers or pres sure bocs
 In much the same way, Aaskans are being asked to override the wisdom of biologists and decide willy ny to end salmon trap fishing. Actually, the Fish and Wildlife Service has the power to shut down a trap anytime it feels conservation would best be served
 This is what the Pacific Fisherman had to say:
 Three initiative measures designed to regulate the fisheries will be voted upon by California and Oregon November 9
 They seek to serve the interests of blocs. rather than those of the fish of the general public These initiatives attempt to deal with scientific problems by means of pressure politics. rather than through ob- ective study and sound research.

 However, in 1948. thanks to the Republican tax cut, his net in- come will be sl2.000.
 And I vetoed that bill chuck led the President.
 Today MT. Truman is out on the hustings trying to break through his usual wall of bodyguards, ser wants and secretaries in order to show the people his human side. The truth is, that despite the steady stream of callers, Truman receives daily and the ream writ ten about him. only a few clese friends know the real man inside the White House. Actually, he is a lonesome man.
 Not many people know, for in- stance, that Truman keeps two large anthologies of poems on a desk by his bedside and, before dropping eff to sleep at night likes to prop himself up in bed and read from the classics.
 His favorites are Shelley and Keats, but he can also recite at length from Alice in Wonderland , One passage the President likes to quote is the Red Queens remark to Alice: Now here, you see. it takes all the running you can dc to keep in the same place
 Truman also likes to read his tory-especially the biographies anc autobiographies of his predecessors because, he told friend, Tt i' men who make history

It Concerns Us
Anchorage News

tAnchOrage NeWS) Something which concerns Alaskans very much
 of ducks and the treaty between Mexico and the United States concerning same. We had not thought anything about the Mexican angle until we received from the Missouri Duck Hunters Association of St. Louis Missouri copies of proclamations resolutions treaties and bills and reports.
 It seems that the United States and Canada have been conserving ducks and their breeding grounds while Mexico continues to slaughter them ndiscrim- nately with longer opening and the use of the armada" battery shot fired the ground from tiers of guns usually big pieces filled with mis- cellaneous small missiles shot It is claimed from 50 to birds picked after each battery shot, The mass killing is said to be disseminating mallards and pintails especially It is claimed if this keeps up duck hunting in the U. S. soon will become only memory
 In urging to correct the present condition, that
 is permitting the killing off of of our species of ducks the Missouri Duck Hunters Association is
 asking all persons interested to write their Congress- men asking to take action resolutions S. J. Res 235 and H. J. Res 432 Copies of the present treaty plus excerpts from the above mentioned letter and and joint resolution may be procured by writing the

REDS IT! RELIGION !? ? :?

House spy probers plan to fol- low up their Communist expose with a report on Reds in religion. They claim to have unearthed So- viet agents trying to infiltrate in- to church groups.
 The report will charge that if such infiltration was accomplish ed-which seems highly doubtful the next step would be an anti religion propaganda drive in the USA similar to that in Russia with Red agents working from within to undermine the churches

HISTORIAN TRUMAN

Truman's secret ambition is to write the history of his own ad- ministration, but it will have to wait until his term is finished.
 There are times when I make up my mind I am going to do it and start assembling my thoughts he confided to a friend. Then the pressure of work forces me to drop it. There just aren't enough hours in the day
 He complained that the public never knows the true history of a period until long after it is past and sometimes forgotten.
 The trouble, he grumbled, lis that people have to depend on Drew Pearson and the Alsop broth CTS for their information.
 As a boy the President used to crawl out of bed at 5 am. to practice on the piano for two hours, and he still gets up early. He has more important things to do now, but once he confessed wearily to friend:
 Sometimes this job gets so strenuous that I think I should have stayed piano-player.
 The President has an orderly mind and an amazing memory He kept a careful record and still re- calls the exact number of rounds he fired as an artillery captain in the first world war It was 18.342 shells. Whats more, he remembers when he fired his last round Nov. Il, 1918, l0:52 am.
