Bears, Sportsmen
 Get The Blame

Juneau (P)-Sports fisher men who make extra-heavy
 catches of salmon came in fol
 criticism this week at a terr.,
 torial department of fisheries ihearing here.
 , More than 15 representa-.
 tives of the Salmon Industry
 participated in the public ses.
 sion. In the criticism of sports
 fishermen, it was said that many land as high as 30 to 40 fish in an area closed to con- mercial trollers.
 Witnesses also said violators Iof fishing rules have been treated too much on the basis of Ines a fine fellow: let him go this time." The opinion was expressed that heavy fines and confiscation of gear would stop violations.
 Meanwhile, at Fish and Wildlife Service hearing at Seattle, the R reported, pack CTS and fishermen from Ko- dlak, Afognak and Chignik said the bears are eating tool many salmon. Some of the l fishermen suggested a bounty | on bruins to cut down their in- roads into the salmon runs.
 Another spokesman asked that beaver dams be removed | from streams on Kodiak Is- and to allow salmon to reach heir spawning grounds.
