GILLNETTERS FIND CLOSING OF STIKINE IS
 ALL A MISTAKE

Ben Engdal and Harry Sunderg officers of the Stikine Gillnetters Association, flew to Juneau last Tuesday to inquire of the Fish and Wildlife Service why Stikine gill netting was included in the order to close fishing the past week and gillnetting on Taku and other points was left open.
 After conference with fish of ficals il was found that closure of the Stikine. was all a mistake due, the Wildlife men said Ito lack of local information. It was thought, through recommendations made re. gently for closure of sockeye fish ing on the river, that the Stikine gillnetters were still catching reds. When Mr Engdal and Mrs. Sund- erg pointed out that the red sal mon run was over and gillnetters were now using cohoe gear, the Fish and Wildlife Service immed- lately ordered the river to be open ed to fishing again. About three days of fishing on the river was lost.
 Engdal and Sundberg flew to Ju- neu on an Alaska Island Airline plane. returning the same evening.

U s. DEMANDS REMOVAL OF SOVIET CONSUL GENERAL
 FROM U. S. FOR CONDUCT

WASHINGTON - The United States is stripping the Soviet Con sul General of New York of his of fieial position because of his con duet in the kosenHua affair and has demanded that Russia remove him from this country.
 This sensational turn of affairs in the SoYiet-American controversy over refugee school teachers was disclosed today with publication of an American note handed the Soy let embassy last night The note flatly rejected Soviet charges that three Russian teachers were ab- dueted by the aut-SoYiet Tolstoy Foundation with connivauce of American officials The note said the three teachers wanted Co stay in the United States and that while recognizing the right of Soviet of ftcials to protect their nationals, the note said nationals were also entiteld to protection of applicable laws of the United States
 The case became a major incl dent after Mrs Iksana Kosenklna leaped from the Russian Consulate in New York last week and later claimed the Russians had been keeping her a prisoner Her eondt- ton is still critical in a New York hospital.

BALTIC WARNS DRASTIC MEASURES NECESSARY TO
 PRESERVE ALASKA FISH

WASHINGTON - Howard Bait 70. newly appointed Assistant Chief of Alaska Fisheries. for the Fish and Wildlife Service, said this weeks shut down of Territorial fisheries was necessitated by a crI- sis in the industry.
 Virtually all Alaskan canneries, traps, seine boats and gill nets were idle this week If a late sal mon run develops, the fishing sea- son may be extended a few days beyond the September deadline to make up for this weeks loss.
 A series of Interior Department hearings on next years conner cial fishery regulations for Alaska will begin at Kodiak Sept 15 and will end at Seattle October IS and 19.
 But the situation has become so serious that a mere change in fishing regulations may not be enough" Baltzo told a reporter.
 Something drastic must be done or the industry may pass out of existence within a few years"
 The current shutdown involved chiefly the lucrative pink salmon pack of Southeastern Alaska. The pink salmon season, which used to start as early as June, began Aug. 9 this year.
 Last year the pack was at an all time low of $88,OO0,0OO. The de cline in production has been ac- companied by a price increase that long ago took salmon out of the "cheap enough for cat food" class.
 "Basically, it's a case of over fishing - too much of all kinds of gear" said Baltzo.
 Tt takes the big ones to pro- duce little ones - and it's the big ones that are being killed"
 Baltzo, who arrived this week from Alaska, said the sockeye or red salmon run was better than expected but has also been declin- ing.
 Baltzo a University of Washing ton graduate, has returned to Fish and Wildlife Service after more than a year as operator of a store at Wrangell, Alaska, where he had been fishery agent.
 Working out of New Orleans and Brunswick, Ga., Baltzo took part in the shrimp research a decade ago which resulted in vast expan- sion of the Gulf of Mexico shrimp industry.

Lamps. smoking stands book ends, coasters. trays and nut bowls are only a few of the beau tiful items which have been on dis play at HanfOrd's office. A. E. Martin, Canadian Customs agent has decorated the book ends by burning colorful and natural AL askan scenes into the wood.

 The Regional Forester said Mill Creek was an excellent pulp mill site with ample water power facil- ities. He added, however, that if a pulp mill goes in at Thomas Bay it is doubtful there would be room for one in Wrangeu. He said this area could support but one mill
 AL last reports the company which had been considering Thomas Bay had made no definite decision. Mr. Heintzleman said the Mill Creek site and Thomas Bay were about on a par" as far as advantages for such pulp location was concerned.

 Making Admiralty reserve would tie it up nicely as far as industry is concerned It would be barred to big game hunters Ono small industry of Southeast Alas ka), and to sport fishermen. It's a pretty valuable present to make to 1900 bears, Santa Claus or no San ta Claus.
 The Alaska Development Board at Juneau also announced this week that it had been advised Inter for Department was palnning to make three new land withdrawals supposedly to the Westward or in- terior of Alaska. Bureau Director Marion Clawson said they would be ''in potential agricultural areas, but the Department is keeping their locations under their collec- tive hats at present.

WRANGELL MEN CONFER
 WITH F&WL MEN IN JUNEAU

A group of Wrangell business nien and fishermen went to Jun eau this week to confer with U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service officials in connection with closure of the seining season this week
 Thor B. Hofstad President of the Wrangell Chamber of Com merce and Peter Mccormack, town councilman and manager of Wrau- gell Cold Storage, flew up Wednes- day and Jorgen Roaming and Joe Petticrew flew up Thursday.
 On return today. Mir. Hofstad re- ported a satisfactory meeting with Albert N. Day, Chief of the Wild life Service who Is in Juneau from Washington D. C., and Clarence Rhode, head of the Service in AL aska
 MT. Hofstad explained that the chief concern in Wrangell was a rumor that fishing might not a. gain be opened this year. But the officials gave assurance that fish ing would resume Monday morning and, if conditions warrant, would be extended to September T, four days beyond the close of the sea son with even further extension If the fish run made it, practicable.
 Mr. Mccormack pointed out the drastic effect of such sudden clos ure on fisherman who buy gear and supplies needlessly, IL was eX- plained that Wrangell had had no word of closure until Sunday at D. m., when many of the fishermen were already on their way 10 the fishing grounds.
 Jorgen Roaming scored a point when he requested an earlier open ing On fall fishing. At present the opening date, October 15, is so late that advantage cannot be talk en of fishing because of storms Af- ter looking over past records, MT. Rhode said that in his report to headquarters he would recommend ten-day earlier open for fall fish ing, bringing it to October 5.
 The Fish and Wildlife officials said that they were watching the fish with particular care this sea son as the severe winter of 1945- 46 destroyed so many of the fry. They said less fry came out of the creeks that year than at any time in history of their records.
 The Wrangell men pointed out the waste of fish in closing the season during dry spells when the streams are low. pointing out that then thousands of fish die on the beaches when they might far better be put in the cans. A two-day suspension during rainy weather when fish can get up the streams would allow vastly greater escape ment than two weeks closure dur ing a dry spell" they said.
 WrangelPs representatives emph4 asized that they hoped the Service would consider their protests and recommendations as made in a CO., operative spirit for the good of all interested in fishing and that they were strictly not in accord with Senator Norman R. Walker, of Ket- chikan who, in newspaper head lines was urging fishermen 10 dis regard the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice and in effect, revolt against it's government.
