to 1912, the regiment was stationed
at Fort Benning, Georgia, as dem

In April, 1912, the Oath sailed
from the States to the New He

joined the 25th Infantry (Tropic

October, 1916, and the main body

The text of Senator Lehman's
statement follows:
"The Army and the Defense De-

heartily upon ending segregation
in it's Far East Command. This is
in line with the Presidents direc-

The need for replacement in
combat units fighting in Korea
speeded integration in the Far
East. When requirements became
scarce, the color of soldier was
forgotten and men were sent to
units without regard to race or
color. The result was that there
are colored soldiers in nearly every
combat unit in Korea and the Oath
Infantry Regiment has more than
800 white soldiers assigned to it.
The Army said the process of in
tegrating colored personnel in the
Far East will be phased over a
period of approximately six
months. 1t added that a similar
integration program will be applied
to service type units.
The oath Infantry Regiment is
to be ''inactivated," and a racially
mixed regiment will be substituted
for it in the 25th Division.
''It has been demonstrated" the
Army said, that in combat in
Korea Negro soldiers serve more
effectively in integrated units"

Juneau Singers First Rehearsal Scheduled

The Juneau Singers will be di- rected this year by Miss Marjorie Iverson, who returns to Juneau as director of choral music in the pub- lie schools. Mrs. Jane McMullln who led the singers the past two years, will be piano accompanist.
 We are very fortunate in having the leadership of these two talented musicians" says Will Reedy, presi- dent of the singers. Miss Iversor did outstanding work with the school choruses last year and also assisted with the Juneau Singers. And we all enjoyed Mrs. McMullin's leader ship during the past two years; her contribution as accompanist will be just as valuable"
 Miss Frances Paul is chairman of music committee for the coming year.
 The first rehearsal of the Juneau Singers will be held Sept. 20 at 8:45 pm. at the Methodist church. There are no "try-outs" for membership. All persons in the Channel area who like to participate in choral singing are welcome to join. Reedy said.

Destruction of wolves, coyotes and other animals which prey on game in Alaska is going modern.
 The coyote getter"-a north land version of a booby trap bomb lis supplanting the blubber-and- stick method formerly used by Es- kimos and Aleuts to rid their hunting grounds of predators. Even poison stations still used by the Fish and Wildlife Service are lowing to the "getter."
 This was revealed today in the services annual predator control report released by Maurice Kelly, in charge of predator and rodent control
 c, How it Works
 The coyote getter," an oral bomb designed to deal swift death to wolves and coyotes, has a head which extends about two inches above the ground. It is about an inch in diameter, and wound with scented cloth Inside is charge of cyanide. The head is attached to a pipe driven five or six inches into the earth, inside of which is a cartridge attached to a trigger. When an animal pulls up on the bait, the trigger is released and the cartridge shoots cyanide into its mouth.
 After that, death is a matter of few minutes" Kelly said.
 It is a long step from the Es- kimo method of placing a curl ed-up sharp stick in a frozen bali of seal blubber. The ball melts upon being gulped down, allowing the stick to snap out straight and puncture the ami malls stomach.
 Wolves are old inhabitants of Alaska. George Steller, naturalist with Vitus Boring in TAI, recorded seeing wolf tracks in the Shuma- gin Islands. Coyotes, Kelly said, are more recent inhabitants-not seen until shortly before 1900.
 However, Kelly's report says, wolves are still considered Al aska's chief predator with coy otes second. But even wolverine attack caribou, mountain sheep and goats. The first report of their inroads into reindeer herds was received frsm Selawik last winter. Five bears were listed as predators and shot last summer on Kodiak Island where they were molesting cattle.
 Of the 287 predators taken last year, 81 were coyotes, POI wolves and the five bear, "Getters" ac- counted for l36; poison 9l, and 50 were shot.
 Kelly said < that probably l30 more were killed by "getters' but his service counts only those whose bodies are recovered.
 Moose Take Up
 The effectiveness of "getters" has been demonstrated around Fairbanks and other northern ar eas. Before they were introduced three years ago reports of legal shooting of moose in the Forty Mile country was three animals a season. Since the use of "getters and consequent drop in the wolf and coyote population, the take rose to 18 last year. Saving of moose and caribou is among calves which fall easy prey to stalking predators.
