'SnOwless' Ski Jump
Produces Good Leans
AP NeWsfeatures

HELSINKI 49, The Finnish city of
Lahti, known for its skiiumpins
competitions every winter, tried ski
jumping without snow this autumn.
The slide of one of the smaller
jumps was carefully creased with
wax and the over part of the slope
was covered with straw. Some 1900
skeptical spectators gathered to see
the experiment.
Twenty-Five experienced ski
jumpers volunteered and the public
was amazed to see the first one leap
180 feet. The record of the day was
200 feet, only six feet short of the
best winter record on that jump.
The jumpers got good speed on
the creased slide but met with
abrupt resistance from the straw
which caused some spectacular falls
till they learned to overcome this

SEEKS FW5 GAME PROGRAM SETUp
 AT U. OF ALASKA

WASHINGTON, July 8-lR- Delegate Bartlett tD-Alaska) today urged the Fish and Wildlife Service to consider extending it's coopera- tive game management program to the University of Alaska.
 Noting that the service already has instituted the program on a cooperative basis with several land grant colleges, Bartlett said that in- clusion of the Alaska University might be profitable to all con- cerned.'
 We all know that game animals and fur bearers constitute a leading Alaska resource" he wrote Secre- tary of Interior Krug.
 Tt is a resouce that can be de- pleted absolutely if appropriate steps are not taken soon. We all know, too, that the failure of the Congress to make adequate appropriations for the protection of Alaskan wild life is a matter of utmost concern to everyone who has looked into the matter.
 T should think that inauguration of a game management program at the University of Alaska would serve a variety of useful purposes, not the least of which would be the training of young Alaskans in game management affairs"
