from July % to August 4, Col
orado, reported 1873 new cases;
Wisconsin SO; Utah, SO; and
Texas, 1873 according to a re-
port of the Public Health Ser
vice, Federal Security Agency.
Nationwide the number of
new cases during the one week
ended August 4, totalled 1908
as compared with 1875 during
the corresponding week of
1850.

Emery F. Tobin identified him. self as editor of the Alaska Sports man. But the pooh-bah in the op- position was Harry T. Cowan, own CT of Cowan's Sports and Clothing Center, president of the Alaska Sports and Wildlife Club, and sec- retary- treasurer of the trappers unit. The final opponent identified was c. R. Snow, of Ketchikan.
 obviously, these opinions and judgments are entitled to little weight. It would be clearly unfair to the majority of Alaskans to judge them in terms of their self appointed wildlife experts"
 With Equal Truth, I suppose, it could be said that it is unfair for Alaskan's to judge the majority of Fasteners by the writings of MT. Barnes.
 As for the bald eagle, many AL askans look down upon him as a mighty inferior fellow. In intelligence and native wit he is far below the raven. He has no more humor than a jack-snipe, and his vocabulary is inferior to that of the jay, the northern loon and the screech owl. And as an article of food he ranks below the geese and ducks, the grouse and ptarmigan, and perhaps even below the seagull.
 In all Alaskas long history and bulky folklore, in fact, can recall only one instance of man actually eating an eagle, and he was poor unfortunate who had been maroon ed on a tiny island without mor- sel of food for a week. Even then, when he was finally rescued, he claimed he should have let his ap- petite whet itself up for another week before he tried getting his teeth into the bird.
 Whether Rep. Angell's protection bill is enacted or not will probably not make a whole lot of difference along the Alaska coast. The talk of saving the taxpayers the cost of the eagle bounties is, of course, nonsense. If the money is not spent for bounties it will he spent for something else.
 But there is one place where the eagle, with all his faults and dis

and accorded far too much weight" Barnes annouces categorically.
 Elsewhere in his article, however, he cites the vote of the 1949 Alaska Legislature on the bill placing a $2 bounty on eagles. The vote was 23 to in the House and 12 to 3 in the Senate, which seems fairly overwhelming.
 There was not, as I recall, very much public expression of opinion on either side of the eagle bounty bill while it was before the Legisla- ture A group of teen-agers did put on a lively demonstration in the galleries at that time, but it turn ed out that they were protesting a minimum wage bill that they felt diScriminated against baby-sitterS. That Some Alaskans did oppose previous bills to extend protection of eagles to the Territory is ack- nowledged by Author Barnes, but he dismisses the opposition as illit- crate or self interested, in the fol- lowing contemptuous words:
 Delegate Bartlett, of Alaska, ap- peared in opposition to the bills, questioned witnesses, and introduced four letters opposing protection for the eagle. All revealed biological illiteracy and self-interest.
 "Otis H. Speer, who obviously confused the bald eagle with the , golden eagle, asserted in letter to the Ketchikan Daily News that the bald eagle of Alaska is distinctive ] kind and different breed from the national emblem.

Trade Concessions To Russia, Poland Dropped by !. }.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "A - R - President Truman has ordered an end to tariff agreements under which this country gives Russia and Poland trade concessions equal to those afforded any other nation.
 And another presidential order yesterday calls for an outright ban on bringing into the United States several types of furs from Russia and Red China. Furs are a major export from those countries.
 The orders are effective Jan. 5.
 The new tariff treatment ordered by MT. Truman for Russia and Po- d-Communist governed in close association with Russia-drops them from the list of nations to whom the United States promises the same tariff concessions it gives any most favored" country. The US. gets a like pledge in return. The new order means Russian and Polish ex- ports will now be subject to regular import duties at US. borders.
 The furs that may no longer be imported from Russia or Red China at any rate of duty, are ermine fox, kolinsky. marten, mink, musk rat and weasel.

An Old Bald Eagle, also called an American eagle and sometimes known in Alaska as a two-dollar eagle, scared tirelessly on thermal updrafts also known as hot air) in the Hall of Representative of the National Capitol on an afternoon shortly before the close of the re- cent session.
 The big old bird was fetched there and turned loose by Rep Homer D. Angell of Oregon, who is author of bill which would protect eagles in Alaska as they are pro- tected in the 48 states.
 The bill is currently buried some where in the committee on Merch- ant Marine and Fisheries. Rep Angel claims it has been pigeon holed-an expression that hardly seems apt under the circumstances
 The Oregon Congressman did a little verbal soaring himself that afternoon. "The slaughter of the bald eagle in Alaska still continues, he announced, while the commit tees sleep and permit this legisla- ton for the protection of this na- tional symbol to be pigeon-holed Where does the opposition to this worthy legislation come from? You may draw your own conclusions.
 In Order To Assist his colleagues in drawing their own conclusions Rep. Angel inserted in the Congress sional Record a lengthy article from a little-known magazine, the Atlantic Naturalist.
 This article, entitled "The Bald Eagle With Price on Its Head" is by one Irston R. Barnes. The author reciteS a good many facts about eagles in Alaska and in other parts of the United States. He also in- cludes a great deal of material that may be factual but which he does not support. Finally, he offers a whole lot of wordage that is purely opinion.
 All in all, Author Barnes does not make out much of case either for protection of eagles in Alaska 1 or for the eagle as national sym i bol
 Barnes starts out by setting ur the bald eagle as "the symbol oi our aspirations, of greatness prom ised and of greatness fulfilled. Then, with considerable thorough ness, he knocks the eagle off that [ lofty perch by proving that the eagle, far from being strong charactered bird of prey, is nothing but a common scavenger.
 In any event, either as predatoi on the weak and helpless or as 6 scavenger, the eagle seems pool symbol of American ideals as ths American people generally set then forth.
 Moreover, and entirely aside iron his habits as a scavenger, the sym bolism of the eagle is held in low regard by anyone who has watch. ed the mighty bird driven to frenz. jed distraction by flock of teas. ing crows or a handful of saucy 1 Steller jays.
 Alaskan Opposition to protection for the eagle has been exaggerated

Reds Say 57l of 726 American Prisoners Die

MUNSAN, Korea, [P - The communists accounted Wednes- day for 726 more captured Ameri- cans, but said 571 of them had died
 The other 155 escaped or were released, they said. But not one of these has returned to Allied lines, United Nations Command spokesman said.
 The LIN. Command called the report a shocking disclosure"
 None of the 726 was named in a prisoner list supplied by the Reds last week.
 Communists said they were checking to see what happened to 332 other Americans.
 After studying the Red report of 1,O58 names, the JUN. Com mand said they were all Ameri- cans. A spokesman said this was a list submitted Friday and Sat urday by the JUN. in a demand for an accounting.
 Another 45 men - 20 British and 25 Americans - were not mentioned. The Allies asked about these 45 Monday.
 The Allied announcement was the first disclosure of the precise number of non-Korean prisoners it had asked about, ,103.
 The Reds detailed by name what they said had happened to 726. Inferentially they blamed Allied war planes and artillery for many of the 571 deaths: They died, the Reds said, of air attack, artillery fire and disease.
 A Communist note also:
 l. Rejected an Allied demand for an accounting of 5O,OO0 South Korean troops missing in action.
 2. Asked the Allies what hap pened to 44,205 Reds the com munists say were captured.
 3. Charged the Allied list of Red captives submitted last week was 1,456 short of the announced total of 132,472.
