FISHERIES BOARD SOLICITING
 APPLICATIONS FOR DIRECTO1

The Alaska Fisheries Board, es- tablished under the new Depart mentof Fisheries of the Territory, ment of Fisheries of the Territory, legislature. lost no time in assum- ing it's duties Members of the Board confirmed on the last day of the session had a preliminary meeting March 25. Present were Ira H. Rothwell of Cordoya, who acted as chairman of the meeting; William R. Walton of Sitka, who acted as secretary; Karl Brunstad of Kodiak; J. P. Valentine ot Ketchikan, and J. H. Wakefield of Port Wakefield. Fishermen mem bers are Rothwell, Walton and Brunstad; industry member, Wake field; and public member, Valen tine.

complete the annual labor that will be required for the assessment year commencing July l. 194g, under the provisions of the act of June g, 1948, which is the law that is now in effect in Alaska.
 This statement was issued today by B. D. Stewart, Territorial Com missioner of Mines, in response to requests for clarifieation of exist ing requirements of the law gov erning assessment work on min ing claims.
 In contrast to the favored posi- tion of residents of Alaska in this respect, it was pointed out by MT. Stewart, mining claim owners in the states will be required to com plete before July 1, 1949, $100 worth of work on each claim. This is because the Congress, at it's last session, granted only in AL aska suspension of the assessmen work requirement during the year ending on that date.
 In order to take advantage of the extra exemption that has been granted him. however, it is neces- sary, MT. Stewart emphasized, that the owner of a mining claim in Alaska file, before noon of July 1, 1949, a notice of desire to hold his claim. This notice must be filed in the office of the United States Commissioner of the record ing precinct in which the claim is located.
 It was further pointed out by MT. Stewart that. should condi- tions in Alaska continue during the coming year to be such as to justify an additional period of exemption from the assessment re- quirement beyond that allowed by the law now in effect, that may be accomplished by legislation in troduced and enacted by the Con- gress as late as the spring of 1850. New legislation during the year 1949 is not imperative, therefore, in order to provide such addition al exemption.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1949-04-08

Considering this matter of vital importance to conservation of Al aska's fisheries, the Board author ized it's member Ira H. Rothwell to proceed to Washington to test fly in support of the bill in com pany with Mir Al Owen, who will assist Mir Rothwell in presenting the matter to the committee in be- half of the Board and the people of Alaska
 Next in order of consideration was the problem of obtaining the services of a salaried director. It was decided that at least a month should go by during which the interested persons could file Jap plications setting forth their q6al- ifications, etc. Accordingly, boar members have announced that written qualifications will be wei comed from all interested persons and may be submitted to any of the Board members above named at the city of his residence or in care of the Attorney General, Box 2586, Juneau, Alaska.
 The regular meeting at which the Board will effect it's permanent organization and at which ap- plications for the directors job will be considered was set for the 25th of April. It was announced that qualified persons connected with departments of fisheries in Oregon and Califor- mia are eligible to apply for the job, but that the policy will be, all other things being equal, to give preference to resi- dent Alaskans.

Admirers Pay Respect
To Bill Robinson al
Fifth Avenue Armory
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. ga Fifth
avenue armory was chosen today
as the place where Bill Robinson's
thousands of admirers could pay
their last respects to the great
Negro dancer.
Originally the 71-year-old tap
dancers bier was to be placed In
the Abyssinian Baptist Church
among the Harlem people he loved
so well and who loved him so well
in return.
But by the thousands, those
who had watched his tWinkling
feet and flashing smile asked to
be able to pay their final respects
So the committee of newsmen
and show people handling ar
rangements obtained the armory
The body will remain there from
this afternoon until Monday noon
when it will be taken to the
church for services. Burial will
be in Brooklyn's Evergreen Gene
terry.
Robinson died last night of a
heart ailment while he slept un-
der an oxygen tent.
Began in Washington.
The great tap dancer, who car
ried the nickname of "Bojangles'
for 40 years, had been an enter
tainer since he was 8 years old.
He began as a little stable boy
at the old Benning rack track in
Washington and danced for pen
nies in Washington beer halls.
Later on Broadway and in Hol-
lyWood he made from $4,000, 900
to $4,000,000.
But he was almost broke when
he went to the hospital two weeks
ago and friends were arranging
a benefit for him when he died.
Although he made up to $4,000
a week In show business and
$4,000 a week in the movies, cash
never stayed withs him long. He
gave lavishly to charity and he
liked to gamble.
Probably his most famous
movie appearance was in THE
Little Colonel" with Shirley Tenn
pie in 1888. She called him Uncle
Bill' from then on.
Robinson never really retired.
He kept right on dancing until his
eyes failed him three months ago.
He never took a lesson in his life,
but his rhythmic dancing was easy,
natural and seemingly effortless.
He once said that his head just
heard the music and told his feet
what to do.
Star of Many Revues.
In May. 1948. Robinson gath
cred with 400 friends on a Hudson
River excursion boat to celebrate
his 10th. birthday. He tilted his
yachtsman's cap, lifted his feet
and began setting them down
again in the old rhythm.
Robinson starred in one revue
after another. He was In many OF
the "Blackbird's' revues and in1939
he starred in a swing. version Of
the Gilbert and Sullivan .zapera.
THE Mikado." y ~
He made IA movies III the

THE Littlest Rebel ,"ssand "One
Mile From Heavsi
