 TOUR TRIPS
Visitors 10 World Peace Conference Can't Travel
 Around U. 5.

WASHINGTON, March 29-tR- The State department today threw up blockade against any tour of American cities by Soviet-and- satellite delegates to the world peace conference.
 It circulated notice to embas- sies of their home countries, re- minding them that the delegates were granted admission to this country only for the purpose of at ending the controversial confer ence in New York.
 Now that the conference is over, the department announced, the United States assumes the delegates will leave within a reasonable time"
 The notice was sent to the Rus sian, Czechoslovakian, Polish and Yugoslav embassies.
 The delegates from those coun- tries have a different position from the delegates rom other countries. American laws forbid admission of Communists to this country That law was waived so that the dele gates from the Communist-con- trolled nations could attend the conference. But the waiver ex- tended only to the conference.
 An action committee" set up at the New York conference an- nounced that most of the foreign delegates would embark on a tour of "as many American cities as possible" A spokesman said the itinerary was not complete, but that cities certain to be visited in- cluded Baltimore, Philadelphia. De- troit, St. Louis and Los Angeles.

Alaskan WiIdIife DetIininu
 Declares Game Commission.
 Control Measures Planned

WASHINGTON, March 29-tR- The Alaska Game Commission says its white sheep and barren ground caribou, found nowhere else under the U. s. flag, soon may become extinct.
 In it's annual report to the Interior department the commits sion also said the giant Alaska moose also appears to te fighting a losing battle against hunters and predatory animals.
 The commission blamed the in- flux of population, the tremendous improvement in transportation la cilities, and the presence of thous- ands of well-armed troops for a decline in Alaskan wildlife.
 It called for a larger wildlife law enforcement staff, more wildlife research, an expanded predatory animal control program, and in- creased federal funds for wildlife restoration
 The fish and wildlife service, meanwhile, in its annual report declared that "the great red sal- mon runs of Bristol Bay and Ko- diak island must be maintained if Alaska's fishery production is to be kept at favorable levels"
 The service said that bears, feed ing at Kodiak island, may be an important factor in red salmon losses.
 "The problem is being studied with a view to -nstituting control measures ? it said.
 The report said studies at Little Port Walter showed that water levels and climatological conditions were the most important factors affecting pink salmon. It added:
 "A large number of pink-salmor streams have been surveyed witt a view to making passable somt of the natural barriers, such a. waterfalls, that obstruct the mi grafton of the salmon.
 Tt has teen found that the con- struction of fishways in certain streams would result in substan- tial improvement of conditions favoring increased runs"
 The report estimated that Alas kan salmon canneries discard more than 1OO0OO,OOO pounds of waste each year because of conditions that prevent it's conversion into meal and oil.
 Research is being carried out .ntensively to develop some prac- ticable and feasible use," the serv- ice said.
 The recovery of certain chemi- calls useful in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries appears most promising.
 The agency also reported that seasonal toxicity" is hampering use of the butter-clam resources of southeastern Alaska.
 It said experiments are being made to define more clearly the seasons of toxicity and the areas where clans are affected. and also to find means of destroying the .oxin.
