5CUDDER LEAVES ON
 INVESTIGATION OF
 TAKING "ATkA" FISH

Henry c. Scudder, credit officer in the native resources division Alaska Native Service, leaves Mon- day for the island of Atka to de- termine the interest of the island inhabitants in the harvesting of a run of mackerel particular to that area.
 In the vicinity of the island IS the only place where this type or mackerel known as "Atka" fish spawns in notable quantities. Spawning season for them is dur ing the months of June and July and is the only time they occur there. The fish spawn on kelp fronds in tidal passes. The macker- el have a regular migration pattern, according to Scudder.
 This type of mackerel is different from the eastern mackerel in that it is not as streamlined. The "Atka '" fish lend themselves to salting and aIe fine eating, said Scudder.
 Atka is one of the principal is lands of the Andreanof group in the middle Aleutians.
 If time permits on the return trip, Scudder will visit the villages of Ugashik, Egegik, Kvichak, Dill iingham, and the Togiak and Kus- kokwim River mouth areas-all in the Bristol Bay area-to study the effects of the new fishing regula- tions as they pertain to native fishermen. The new regulations for the first time permit power in the drift net boats. To be considered

BIG TAKE OF SALMON GOES
 TO MILITARY
Requirements Announced Probably Be df Least
 360, 900 Cases

SEATTLE. May IT -LR- Military requirements will take about 1000 cases of the 1851 salmon pack from Alaska and Puget Sound, the De- fense Fisheries Administration here has been advised.
 The total will include red and cohoe salmon, according to Maj. R. L. Hoff of the Army Quartermas- ters Depot, Oakland, Calf.
 Ire estimate was presented dur ing a joint meeting of Defense Fish cries Administration and Office of Price Stabilization officials.
 Industry spokesmen said they be- lieve the military quota can be sup piled without resort to "set aside program such as was in effect in World War II. Officials feel the volume can be procured on volun- tary basis, through negotiated con- tracts and otherwise.
 Jcint Sessions Held
 The joint sessions Tuesday were conducted by Maurice Rattray, DFA deputy administrator, and w. c. Eardley, OPA Fisheries adviser. DFA representatives included Leroy s. Christie and Dr. Richard A. Kahn from Washington, D. c. Robert w. Walsh and V. H. Hougen represent ed the Department of Agriculture.
 Industry advisers said there ap- pear to be sufficient supplies on hand with which to conduct the 1851 salmon fishery, but pointed out that temporary seasonal draft defer ments for some fishermen may be needed to provide adequate skilled manpower to complete the season.
 Salmon Prices
 Concerning prices, spokesmen said canned salmon should not be a specific OPS regulation de, CRP-22, Manufacturers Orde) due to wide range of prices for the various sal mon varieties.
 Eardley said efforts will be made to remove canned salmon from the order, but that it would remain un- der general price controls. OPS probably will issue tailored reg ulation for canned salmon to price the various grades progressively as they become available to the market, he added. Fl

also is the establishment of new set net areas within the Bristol Bay drift net area.
 The salmon run in this area differs from other areas in that the salmon are predominately red. The migration is of a short dura- ton but very intense running it's course in the month from approx imately June 25 to July 25.
 Scudder expects to return for the opening of the regular seining season August in southeast AL aska.

NO RULE ON TAX VALIDITY, ILL. FAULKNER

Alaska's property tax law as passed by the l949 legislature, has still not been determined as valid according to the opinion of H. L. Faulkner, Juneau attorney.
 Yesterday copies of the decision of the U. S, Court of Appeals in the Alaska property tax case were re- ceived in Juneau by Faulkner, one of the attorneys for Luther Hess and Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co.,, who brought suit in Fairbanks to enjoin the tax commissioner from collecting the property tax. Judge Pratt, of the Fourth Division, held the law to bc invalid and an appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
 On May II an Associated Press dispatch stated that the appellate court had reversed Judge Pratt and held the law to be- valid,
 However, while Judge Pratt's de- cision was reversed. the appellate court did not hold the property tax law to be valid" Faulkner said. Tt declined to pass on its validity and did not even discuss 1t. The reversal is on the sole ground of procedure" He said the court held that instead of bringing suit to enjoin the collection of the tax, the taxpayers should have paid the tax under protest and then brought suit for refunds with interest. Faulkner cited the opinion, which said:
 sIf appeIlees were to pay under protest to. the tax commissioner the taxes assessed on property outside the municipalities and school dis tricts and then bring an action at law against the tax commissioner to secure refund, we think the de- term;nation of the court would settle the matter completely"
 The court also said:
 we think that the weight of au- thority is that interest is recover able on tax refunds in absence of express authority therefor"
 Faulkner added that since the Court of Appeals did not even dis cuss the matter of the validity of the tax law, the only adjudication to be had oh that question to date Is the opinion of Judge Pratt which held the law to be invalid. ft
 He said that the opinion of the Court of Appeals on the procedure to be followed would seem to be to require one of two courses to be taken. and either have taxpayer pay the tax under protest and sue to recover it back with interest; or, for taxpayers to continue to decline to pay the tax and allow the tax commissioner to bring suits against the various taxpayers for its col lection. fgf 2f
 IF Faulkner concluded that it would be determined, after consultation with his clients, which of these courses would be followed

First Alaskan
 Bone Bank al Mi. Edgelumhe

The first bone bank" in the Ter ritory has been established at the Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center, the Alaska Health Department amour ced today. This bank is one of the few in the nation. Its use in nine recent bone surgery cases have all proved successful, Dr. Philip Moore, health department orthopedic sur geon there said.
 Tn bone hank is a special deep freeze unit where temperature can be maintained at 20 or more degrees below zero. Health bones, such as ribs necessarily extracted in chest surgery, may be preserved in this unit for use as replacement mater ial for bone removed in later bone surgery cases.
 "The preservation of healthy bones for later use has revolution ned bone surgery" according to pr. Moore. He explained that these Lones, preserved in a sterile cOnd- ition, are then milled or ground to be packed as replacement material where portions of bone have been removed by bone surgery.
 He said that between February 26. of this year when the first bone was placed in the new bank at the iOrthopedic hospital, and May l5. the milled bone had been used as replacement material in nine bone surgery cases, "all of which have been very successful"
 Dr. Robert E. Staff, orthopedic surgeon for the Tuberculosis San itorium at the center, is in charge of the bone bank.

Alaska Mapping
 Progress 5peeded Says Fitzgerald

More progress has been made this year in the Geological Survey map ping program in the Territory than in any previous year." said Gerald Fitzgerald, chief topographic engi- neer who arrived here from Wash ington, D. C., over the weekend.
 He said this was due to good weather coupled with improved mapping methods. The Geological Survey is using six helicopters in it's work this year.
 Also here is R. O. Davis, regional engineer from the Denver office of the bureau.
 Although he has not been in Alas ka for the past 10 years, Fitzgerald is a pioneer in Alaska Geological Survey work He first started on it 20 years ago, " in the days when the only way to get any place was to walk" he said, although later he flew with many old time bush pilots in the Interior.
 Davis was in the Territory last two years ago.
 Survey and mapping parties are in the Rake, Prince of Wales, Cor dova, Chitna. Denali and Lake Louise area and a great deal of work is being done in the Interior rail belt section in connection with the military.
 The two men are leaving here for the westward and Interior and will be in Alaska until July 28, when they will fly directly from Fair banks to the States.

marks at a luncheon OF Demo-

terdGy:
Nine. chairman, fellow Demo-
Gratis, distinguished guests:
I am most happy to be here
today. I was here sometime ago
when the United Nations was or
ganized. and opened it's first reg
ular meeting. 1t was a great priv
1lege. That organization, I am
sure, will eventually cause us to
have world peace.
I came here for the purpose
OF opening the conference for the
signing of the treaty of peace with
Japan. I can only be here for
the day, but I couldn't possibly
turn down the opportunity to talk
to some of my Democratic breth-
rem and sisters.
You know. it is good to get to-
gether with a group of Democrats,
especially an enthusiastic group
like this.
I had some experience here in
this town in 1945-had a wonder
full meeting down in front of City
Hall in San Francisco. And the
result was very satisfying.
You in this city witnessed the
first great step toward lasting
peace back in 1945 when the
United Nations Charter was signed
here. During the six years since
then we have been working con-
stantly for world peace. Step by
step we will keep working for
peace. We are building up our
armed strength here at home just
to keep the peace and we are help
ing our friends to build up their
strength for the simple purpose
to keep the peace.
We are trying to accomplish the
purposes for which the United
Nations was establiShed-negotia-
tion of differences between ma
tions, instead of shooting at each
other to settle their differences.
1t is terrible to, think of what
would happen if we should have
another world war. No one can
imagine the destruction, the loss
of life.
New weapons mean that an all
out war would wipe out civiliza-

Responsibility in 1852.
Next year, 1952-(here the
President was given a tremendous
ovation)-you interrupted me-
(laughter)-that is an election
year. We are going to elect a
President next year, and that
means that we are going to have
the opportunity to see that this
country stays in the right path.
That is a great responsibility.
know can count on every one in
this crowd to do his part in meet
ing that responsibility.
You won't be working for the
Democratic Party alone, you will
be working for the people Of the
United States, and you will be
working for world peace.
I don't know who the Demo-
cratic candidates will be next year
but do know this: They will be
fighters for peace. they will under
stand what it takes to make
America strong, they will fight for
all the people-not just a few.
know you people here today
appreciate these things. I know
you understand how important it
is to keep America on the right
road.
I know you will give your best
to see that this great republic
travels down the road to world
peace.
Thank you, very much.
