SpORT5MEN FIGHT
BAN ON ADS FOR
SALMON DERBIE5

Srortsmen everywhere are growl-
ing to each other and to their
congressman because a post office
ruling says that it is pure chance
not skill-that any one fish is
larger than any other taken in a
fishing contest, and prohibits the
use of mails to advertise fishing
codeos and contests.
According to information receive
ed here from the National Wildlife
Federation, three identical bills were
introduced in Congress within three
lays seeking to clarity the law to
except fishing contests.
These bills, introduced by Rep
cesentative Charles P. Nelson (Me.)
Russell v. Mack and Thor c. Toll
afson (Wash), are now in the
House Judiciary Committee. Spor-
tsmen's groups, outdoor writers, and
individuals everywhere are writing
their congressman for immediate
action on one of the bills.
Aggravating the sports fisher
mems ire was a ruling given out
by u. S. District Judge Fred l..
Wham of East ST. Louis, that bet
ting on horse racing and other
sporting events is legitimate bust
ness involving skill and that it did
not come within the lottery pro-
vision of the law.
Further information received
from fishing contests which are
held in nearly all parts of the
United States indicates that postal
authorities are not taking any ac-
ton due to the storm of protests
from every corner of the nation.
H. r. ISIS, by Charles P Nelson
of Maine; H. r. 1919 by Russell
" Mack, and H. r. 1921 by Thor
C. Tollefson, both of Washington
seek to amend chapter 81 of titls
13 of the Criminal Code by adding
a new section, 1905, which reads as
follows:
Sec. 1905. Contests to Advertise
or Develop Natural or Recreational
Resources:
THE provisions of this chapter
shall not apply with respect to any
fishing contest conducted by an
official agency of any State OF
conducted by an agency approved
for that purpose by the Governor
of any State where such contest
is designed to advertise or develop
the natural or recreational resourc-
es of such State or any region OF
section thereof"

Is, it was disclosed today by wire
from Whitehorse reaching Col
John r. Moves, head of the Alaska
Road Commission.
Several months ago, hopes were
held by Canadian highway engi-
neers that they could force their
way through Chilkat Pass and over
slide area near the US. border by
May L.
Chilkat Pass itself is open now
but the slide area, less than two
miles inside British Columbia from
the border, has hampered opening
the 160-mile road
Brig. A. B. Connolly, in charge
of the Canadian portion OF the
Alaska Highway, left from White
horse several days ago to inspect
progress being made on clearing the
highway, and wired Colonel Noyes
that he would inform him on the
possibility of getting the road open.
Last year the important cutoff
wasn't clear until June 9. Last fall
road engineers left clearing equip
ment at the summit of Chilkat, to
enable an earlier start on road
work.
The May Is date beats the 1919
date by more than three weeks.

Colonel Moves left today for the
American sector of the cutoff, to
inspect progress on the us. side.

TOKYO. May 3--tR-Russia to-
day asked General Macarthur to
explain military and news reports
that the United States is rebuilding
key Japanese naval and air bases.
1t charged such rebuilding would
be in violation of allied occupation
policy.
The top general of the Soviet
mission in Tokyo presented Russ
las complaint in a letter to Mac
Arthur.
The Russian, 1t. Gen. Kuzma
Derevyanko, cited several published
accounts of how the U. S. put new
sinews in Japan's old naval bases
and built "a number of airfields
from Hokkaido to Kyushu" which
can accommodate the country's
largest bombers."
Derevyanko quoted retired U. S.
Adm. d. C. Ramsey as saying in
April, 1913, when he was Pacific
Fleet Commander, that THE naval
bases at Sasebo, Kure and Yoko-
suka, together with the bases on
the islands of Okinawa and Guam,
offer a formidable combination of
forward operation bases in event
of any future hostilities In the
Far East"
U. S. military authorities said
originally air and naval bases were
necessary to protect American and
British occupation forces. Since
then they have been declared ess-
entail for the protection of un-
armed Japan.

To-Day, MORE THAN ever
before, your chances for business or
social success are enhanced by a
well groomed, handsome appearance.
That's why more and more men, all
over the world, are making it
point to shave every day.
But daily shaving is hard on the
face. Your razor's harsh action tends
to dry out the skin, leaving it old
looking, wrinkled and raw.
REMARKABLE INGREDIENT
To help men solve this problem, we
developed Gider-a wonderful new
brushless shaving cream that coA-
tains a special skin-freshening in
gredient. Now-every time you
shave with Glider-you give your
face the benefit of this remarkable
substance that helps preserve the
youthful qualities of the skin. You
get closer, faster, more comfortable
shave and finish your shave look
ing and feeling remarkably fit.
