The first entertainment scoop
of the season has been scored by
the Shoreham Hotel. Hearing
that Les Compagnons de la Chan
son were about to head back to
this country from their native
France. The Shoreham manage
ment put in an immediate bid for
their services on the first available
date. The first and only time
Les Compagnons had open for
awhile turned out to be the latter
half of the second week in
October. which is the only reason
they will be playing a split<week
instead Of a lengthy stay at the
Shoreham then. They open Oc-
tober II, a Tuesday night, and
remain through Saturday, before
going on to previously arranged
dates elsewhere.
II you haven't heard the praises
of these nine French musical
geniuses sung before, it could
only mean that you have been in
hiding somewhere. When they
turned up at the Shoreham Blue
Room last season after a highly
successful stay in New York they
were greeted as the greatest event
In the entertainment world at
least since the opening of "Okla-
homal"
The chansons Of Les Compag-
mons are musical masterpieces OF
varying Gallo moods. They range
from the tender to the uproari-
ously funny. their impersonation
of an American swing band, for
instance. providing one Of the
most wildly comic moments you
are likely to encounter in an
evening out.
You can take the word Of any
one who has seen Les Compagnons
de la Chanson perform, and make
a reservation right now for their
local engagement. Incidentally. to
spread their talents as widely as
possible while they're at the
Shoreham, the plan when we
last heard was for them to do a
dinner show in the Blue Room
and make later appearance in
the Palladian Room.
This latter rendezvous-the Pal
ladian Room-launched its third
season last Friday night in fine

 Egan also argued that the l946 referendum was primarily an ex- pression of protest against party declaration, and said hundreds, or thousands, stayed away from the polls on primary day because they didn't want to declare party affil- iation in order to vote.
 Rep. Frank G. Johnson, Rake Republican, spoke against the bill in it's present form. He also said maintenance of the two-party system is essential, but said. If we are going to revise the law to protect the two-party system, let's do it right He contended that one deficiency of the bill was that it didn't provide for rotating the political parties to the most favorable spot on the ballot. He also objected to a provision that voter would have to swear to le- gal resident in his voting precinct, which he said was more strict than the present law.

INCREASE PLANNED
 FOR PROGRAM OF PREDAT0R CONTROL

i While much of the first appro- priation for predatory control, last year, had to be spent for equip ment, automobiles. airplanes and such, much more of this years S100,- coo now can go into operations, ac- cording to Maurice w. Kelly.
 With headquarters at Anchorage, Kelly is district agent in charge ot the predatory and rodent control program for the Territory.
 He is meeting with w. A. (Bud) Elkins, Fish and Wndlife Service Management sup ervisor, Urban iPete) Nelson, Federal Aid project leader. and agents from all over Alaska.
 Meeting here on the predatory control problem are Hosea Sarber of Peters urg, who is in charge for Southeast Alaska; Frank Glaser of Fairbanks, who has that area and the Yukon; and Robert Scott, of Anchorage. who covers the Anchor age district and the Alaska Penin- sula.
 We hope to open up three new sub- district offices" said Kelly. They are in the planning stage now, but will be located at Mc- Grath, Anchorage, and Nome or Kotaebue. We also plan to station a hunter at Palmer.
 They will be in charge of actual control operations, and will give in- formation such as how to take wolves, and other help to trappers.
 The program is largely one for the protection of game animals, such as ANS. reindeer herds, as at Kotzebue."
 One entire species, Grants cari- bou, is in danger of being elimi- mated on the Alaska Peninsula, where there is the greatest preda- tory problem. Where formerly there were many thousands, now there are an estimated 2,00o.
 Caribou in the Cold Bay region are believed to be down more than 90 percent from last year.
 Our policy" said Kelly, "ls one of control, not extermination.
 Tn our research, we try i'll every way to avoid dangers, and the use of lethal tait is carefully controlled.
 We are trying to give each area careful attention"
