although Israel now is a member
of the International Conference
of Criminal Police. This is due to
the lack of an Israel law of
citizenship, whose PRONUNCIATION
is held up because of political
considerations connected with the
status of Arab refugees.
Some harm was also done by
the general amnesty proclaimed
less than a year ago, but most
of those who were released at the
time are under lock and key
again.
Watchdogs are also being train
ed now to accompany policemen
on their beats, but there is a
scarcity of suitable puppies. I'm
fortunately the tracing of Grim
mails used to be an Arab speciality,
while Jewish-trained police dogs
were destroyed by their British
masters when they left Palestine.
1t is, moreover, not easy to get
convictions for traders in stolen
property when thousands of i'm
migrants offer genuine transfer
goods at lower than market price,
but nevertheless the police record
in this respect is now very good
in urban areas as acknowledged
by insurance companies.
Although the percentage of
crimes committed in Israel now is
normal or less by foreign stand
ards, it is not easily taken for
granted. Many still remember the
good old times of not much more
than ten years ago when nobody
locked his home even in the city
when going out, and we take some
time to get used to the idea that
a normal nation cannot shirk it's
share of lawbreakers and ex-
pense for containing them.
After all, it holds good also for
Israel that wars bring on in
creased crime when demobiliza-
ton gets into its stride. AS a
matter of fact even some Kibbut-
zim did not Immediately realize
that abandoned property belongs
as of rights to the responsible
public custodian, who may use it
to settle immigrants, and not to

Men Of MohoPoc
Send Thanks To
People Of Seward

The Kodiak Bear, newspaper
of the Naval Operating Base at
Kodiak, published the telegram
sent to Admiral Wagner by the
Lions Club on behalf of the
people of Seward, thanking him
for the band on Armed Forces
Day. The following letter was
received today by Mayor Lanier
q May 1850
Mr.. Eugene N. Lanier
Mayor, City of Seward
Seward, Alaska
Your Honor:
The officers and enlisted men
of the U.S.S. Mahopac have re-
quested that l write you and
ask that you make known to
the citizens of Seward our sim
cere appreciation for the manner
in which we were received dur
ing our recent visit Although
the band has since returned to
the Naval Operating Base at Ko-
diak, l am sure that they echo
our sentiments.
Everyone, without exception,
appeared to take a personal in
terest in seeing that we enjoyed
our visit. 1t will be a never-to-be-
forgotten memory. At first we
intended to personally thank
those who were especially kind
and considerate but any attempt
to do so would only omit some
one to whom we are indebted.
To be welcomed so royalty was
beyond our fondest expectations.
We, one and all, are looking
forward to returning in the flu
ture to renew the friendships we
made during National Defense
Week 1850.
Sincerely yours,
Howard w. Jones
Lieutenant, US. Navy
Commanding Officer

Census Preliminary
Report Gives Seward
1868 Population

Preliminary announcement of
the population of the Town of
Seward and the Seward Record
ing District was made this week
by James D. Brown, Divisional
Supervisor.
The count to date of the re-
turns of the census, taken as of
April l, 1850, is 2,063 for the
town and 1858 for the recording
district.
This figure is believed to be
substantially correct but is sub
ject to revision after returns for
nonresidents are credited to their
proper localities and other rou-
tine checks have been made. Al
though material revision of the
preliminary count is unlikely, it
may possibly occur after careful
examination of the returns.
The official announcement OF
population will be made at a
later date by the Director, Blu
reau of the Census, Washington,
DC.

Agencies Work To Relieve
High Unemployment Rate

appropriate measures 10 re-
lieve the high rate of unemploy-
ment among resident workers
was the subject of a number of
conferences between Territorial
and Federal agencies held last
week in the office of the Com
missioner of, Labor, Henry A..
Benson.
Particular concern was ex-
pressed over the current prac-
tice of hiring and transporting
workers from Seattle while hun
dreds. of competent residents are
available in the locality of the
work projects.
Director of the Territorial
Employment Service, Art Hedg-
es, stated that with the ex-
ception of a few specialized
classifications the entire labor
force needed for this years
work is already in Alaska. We
have said before and we repeat
Jobs are scarce in the Terri
tory and only in exceptional
cases will travelling to Alaska
be advisable for stateside work
ers'."
The practice of hiring non
residents while local people are
seeking work was condemned
by Labor Commissioner Benson.
''The Alaska Legislature has de.
clared the public policy to give
residents of the Territory a
rightful preference to be en-
ployed in our industries. Hiring
and transporting non-residents
is contrary to public policy and
can only create difficulties for
our local workers and burden
the community"
To correct the situation the
conferences recommended:
/. Alaska Autonomy or local
control of all trade unions which
have Collec live Bargaining
Agreements in force in Alaska.
Where such exists there is no
problem of preference in hiring
for residents.
2. Provision in all Federal
contracts for preference in hir-
ing residents.
3. Labor Management Confer
ences in the major cities to
eliminate racial discrimination
which serves to keep many AL
askans unemployed.
4. Continued stateside publici-
ty to discourage job seekers
from coming to the Territory.
5. Strict enforcement of law
requiring employers to provide
medical examinations b e e
shipping workers into Alaska
and returning those having con-
tagious or communicable dis
eases to the States Immediately.

Committee Recommends Area
For Group Settlement

The progress report of the
Committee on Group Settlement
in Alaska, under the U. S. Dept.
of the Interior Bureau of Land
Management, recommends the
Kenai-Kasilof area for group
settlement.
The report states that the re-
suits of the survey in that area
are gratifying Not all the agri-
cultural land is available for
group settlement. Some 1880
acres of the better land are pri-
Vately owned, and 1920 acres
are entered land. About $4,000
acres are reserved and 74O acres
are leased. There remain, how
ever, at least $4,000 acres of
vacant public land of agricul-
tural quality that may be used
for group settlement.
In addition. the prospective
owners of more or less land
already entered might choose
to avail themselves of the op-
portunities provided by the pro-
ject. Much of the good land of
the project area is in stable
blocks.
The committee recommends
that the first group settlement
be located in the Kenai-Kasilof
area. 1t recognizes, however that
the area must be studied in de-
tail before any settlers are put
on the land.
If it is decided to establish the
settlement, in the area now with
drawn from entry, the commit
tee recommends the following
program:
l. The Bureau of Agricultural
Economics will assume leader
ship in determining the type or
types of farm economy best suit
ed to the area.
g. The Bureau of Land Man.
agement will assume the leader
ship in mapping the layout of
full-time and part-time farms,
fix location of roads, locate and
plot sites for villages.
3. With joint cooperation of
the Soil Conservation Service,
it will determine what parts of
the different farm units should
be left permanently in timber as
a protection against erosion. 1t
will survey the timber to be cut
and appraise its value.
January /, 1851 is set as a
target date for submission of the
report.
The report is long and de-
tailed AS a final word: ct is inn
possible of course, to say at this
time when the findings and rec
concentrations that will result
from the foregoing studies could
be put into effect, if approved.
The possibilities within the ex-
listing statutory framework are
restricted. Much will depend on
whether or not settlement bill
and development bill Zone or
both) are passed by the present
Congress-"
