 'Wastefu| Slaughter Charged

Confiscation of seven rifles iron their Eskimo owners by officials O the Fish and Wildlife Service, after they had admitted shooting 10- caribou illegally. has started wire cracking Alaska wide and a pro. test from an Eskimo house member from Wales was sent Gov. Ernes Gruening, now in Washington.
 Clarence Rhode, regional direc. tor for the service. termed the seiz. ure flair, considerate and justified, while the legislator did 6 somer- sault in the traditional native atti- ture toward reservations by calling for their establishment as the "onlJ solution for native welfare" unless moves are taken :.
 Reports of large numbers of cari- bou being killed in the Noatak viii lage area, some 50 miles north o1 Kotzebue, led to an investigation by service representatives, and the questioning of 37 men in the village of 48 families brought confessions that they had killed 280 of the mi gratory animals in a short period. Guard Rifles Not Taken The seven worst offenders were asked to give up their guns, with no further action taken.
 Of the 37 questioned, five were in possession of National Guard 30-0t rifles, issued to natives in the north along with unlimited quantities o1 ammunition. None of these mer were among the seven who gave ur their guns.
 The action caused considerable blzzing in the north country, witt the climax reached when Percy Ipalook, house representative, wired the governor that unless satis- factory corrective move is taken, tht only solution for native welfare is establishment of reservations in na- tive areas"
 Ipalook has opposed establish ment of reservations for natives. as has Governor Gruening. His atti- tude expressed in his wire was in terpreted here by some not in the service as one of "martyrdom" tf escape responsibility of needing tht law set up for conservation pur- poses.
 After Ipalook's wire was received another wire arrived on Rhodes desk, from his chief, Albert M. Day asking for facts of the case. Rhode dispatched long explanatory let ter of the facts to him, and is now awaiting reply.

 That pact was founded on the idea that the United States would furnish arms, Europe the men for the defense of western Europe.
 It wasn't given publicity at the recent Hague meeting, but that principle isn't really working out. In brief, western Europe is hang ing back about supplying the men.
