Fish and Wildlife Service aquatic
biologist Richard F. Shuman on
bear depredations on red salmon
streams in the Karluk area OF
Kodiak Island.
According to this report, the
bears destroyed $117,649 worth OF
unspawned salmon during the 1947
season and provided only $4,000
in income for the Territory through
big gamehunts in the area
I'm view of this report, do not
see that we can place too much
reliance on the testimony of Mr.
Clarence Rhode" said Rep. Frank
lin. He told us that although
bears are claimed to be destructive
to fish in some areas, there have
been no studies of the actual
amount of destruction
Bears Not in Danger
Rep. Andrew Hope, citing long
experience of the Native peoples
of Alaska, scoffed at the idea that
bears could be easily exteriminated
on Kodiak Island. The bears move
out of an area that is extensively
hunted, Hope said, '"There are
plenty of places on Kodiak Island
where nobody will bother to go
after them"
There are plenty of bears on
Montague and Hinchinbrook Islands
to last a long time" asserted Rep.
Carlson. Just lay aside your wor-
ries about the bear becoming ex-
tinct."
Reps. Gasser and Kay thought
the memorial entirely too drastic
and suggested that while open
seasons should perhaps be estab-
lished in certain zones, there
should also be zones of refuge for
the bears on Kodiak Island.
I'VE are asking here for the ex-
tinction of one of the worlds great
est game animals, and as such one
of Alaska's greatest .-esources," Kay
asserted.
The memorial passed 1875 with
Reps. Conrighs, Gasser, Kay, Laws
and Madsen voting aga. ,st it and
Rep. MacKinnon absent.

hover may find himself in the en-
oarrassing position of getting the
Democratic nomination for Presi-
'ient in 1852, whether he wants it
pr not.
This leaked out of the White
House after a private remark made
by President Truman to a poll
5ical adviser, who had told him
|about a plan on the part of anti
Truman Democrats including jim
ny Byrnes and Jim Farley-to
dominate Eisenhower.
Mr.. Truman's reply was bit
olaintive but apparently sincere.
"'Well, if Ike wants it," he said,
FIJI nominate him myself"
This comedies with a statement
by speaker Sam Rayhurn that
Eisenhower could have the Presi-
dential nomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket-a statement made by
h man who doesn't often cross
wires with Truman.
Meanwhile some Of Ike's friends

some heated debate and parlia-
mentary maneuvering Saturday aft
ernoon.
The measure was in the hands OF
the Committee on Engrossment
headed by Rep. Waino Hendrickson
In answer to question by Rep
McCutcheon, Rep. Hendrickson said
his committee had not processed the
memorial.
McCutcheon quoted the rule book
to the effect that measures are to
be reported back by the Engross-
ment Committee on the day after
they are received by the committee
Hendrickson said he had received
the memorial that morning, but
McCutcheon insisted that the me-
mortal had gone to the committee
on Friday when the second reading
was completed.
The parliamentarians, headed
by McCutcheon, rode roughshod
over protest by Rep. Doris Barnes
that she had amendments for the
memorial and that she had beer
given no opportunity to present
them when the memorial was rush
ed through second reading on Fri
day.
Two Way Rules
"Our rules seem to work one way
one time and just the opposite the
next time, depending on who wants
them applied" commented Mrs
Barnes.
! Delegate Bartlett has asked thai
/ this memorial be sent to Congress
and the people of Alaska will bt
watching our actions" McCutcheor
said.
With the finesse of a Sherman
tank and the assistance of the Rule
Committee, which is headed by Nc
Cutcheon, McCutcheon dug the me
mortal out of the Engrossment Com
mittee to take its place at the foo
of the long calendar.

Decisive Victory Over Reds in Cent? al Korea
PUBLIC OPINION

The following communication, adj
dressed to w. E. Bonser, Editor OF
the Cordova Times appeared in the
issue of February Is, 1851 and is
worth reading:
My Dear Editor:
l have reason to believe that per-
sonally you are gentleman and a
scholar, civic minded and patriotic
I would suppose that you are hon
est and generous.
But as an exponent of Alaska
statehood I will say that you are
either an unsplificated fool or a
permanganated liar. You quote and
endorse the effusions of brilliant
voluminous but contemptably false
editorial writer in the Anchorage
Times.
In theAnchorage Times of jan
uary 25th he says, 1.-THE Statehood
movement is SO right that it is
questioned only by those special
interestes whose selfish purpises
oyershadow the common good"
l would like TO meet that editor
and tell him in no uncertain man
ner that his statement makes him
out either a fool or a liar. If he
will come here to Chitina I will
introduce him to number of men
and women who have been in AL
aska for nearly half a century.
They are known as people of fair
intelligence and unquestioned in
tegrity. They have lived strenuous,
frugal and hopeful lives here in
Alaska in doing their part to de-
velop the Territory into an econ
omic condition that would warrant
Statehood. They are honest in their
expressed opinion that statehood
is not yet feasible or justified.
And anyone vshc says these people
are not sincere in their opposition
to Statehood is either a fool or
a liar.
These people have no connection
or interest in any special interests.
They mostly do not even know that
these Special Interests" even ex-
list.
Also we are suspicious (and I'm
one of them Of those proponents
of statehood who have no better
argument than a lot of inane
cliches that are calculated to i'm
press adolescents and unreallstlc
adults
. There may be good arguments
in favor of statehood, but the mis-
representation ald plain damned
lying that has been put out to
date is so palpably dishonest that
think Congress will inquire a
lot further before it is stampeeded
into giving Statehood to a few
people who are willing to misrep-
resent their Territory in SO blat-
ant a way that it would be per-
haps vicious it it were not SO
damned silly.
Yours for bigger and better
boosting.

OPERATE Mines
IN TAKU AREA
BY MIDSUMMER

llC Vial L anu lNlAAthAH WIN
pany surface plant on the Tplse-
quah River, about 60 miles. east OF
Juneau, has been leased by the Con-
solidated Mining and Smeltirg Com
pany of Canada, 1t. Tor operations
which will commence by mid-sum-
mer of this year, it was disclosed
in advices received here by the
Alaska Development Board.
Crew Of 200 Men
The arrangement between Com
inco and the Polaris-Taku Mining
Company provides for minimum
five-year lease period. A crew OF
about 200 men will be employed in
the operation, which viii use the
Polaris- Taku concentration to handle
ore from Comincos Big Bull and
Tulsequah Chief mines at the rate
of about $50 tons day.
The development is of import
ance to Juneau because it win be
supplied largely from this city, adj
vises reveal. and its products will
be shipped down the Taku River
through this area.
Adequate ore reserves from the
Canadian properties have been es-
tablished by development work ex-
tending over the past three years.
The concentration will produce a
copper, lead and a zinc concen-
trate. These products will be trucked
seven miles to Tulsequah Landing
and barged down the Taku River
to tidewater near Juneau. From
there the copper concentrate win
be shipped to a customs snelter at
Tacoma while the lead and zinc con-
centrates will be shipped 70 Trail,

.,gsss'5,1s. g

grower reported to County Agent
Eugene CoombS that he had
found some suspicious looking
worms in the cobs of his stored
corn and that the cObS were
damaged. CoombS sent Speci-
mems of the worms to CorkinS
who in turn sent them to the
federal bureau of entomology
and plant quarantine for YER
ification. The bureau confirmed
CorkinS' identification of the
worms as European corn borer.
Since the introduction of this
pest might well be a threat to
Eastern Montana's corn acreage,
Corkins is especially anxious to
have other growers examine
their corn - either in the field
if it has not yet been harvest
ed or in the bin if it is stored
- for signs of borer damage
and report suspected infesta-
tions to their county extension
agent.
Close examination of stalks
and ears, he said, will reveal
signs of borer activity. The corn
borer tunnels the inside of stalks
and ears, and the outside of
the stalk will be punctured
where the borer entered it.
Breaking or cutting a stalk or
ear will show the tunnels made
by the feeding worms and the
worms themselves should be
found.
The mature corn borer or
worm is often mistaken for the
corn ear worm, he said, How
ever, the corn borer is uniform
ly dirty white or pinkiSh in
color. When full grown it is
about an inch long and covered
with rows of small brown spots.
On the other hand the corn
ear worm is a larger and fatter
caterpiller varying from light
green to brown color with con-
Spicuous alternating strip e S
lengthWise of the body and
feeds only On silks and tips of
ears.
Information on control meas
ureS that can be taken at this
time of year will be- given by
Corkins in the near future.

For farms, the average loan
was So, ZOO. Business loans aver
aged around 50, 800
Houses still in the planning
stage accounted for AZ per cent
of the home loans, the VA said.
Another 33 per cent of the
home bought by veterans were
brand new, and only "a percent
were homes already built. Loans
contracted for alterations and
repairs accounted for the re-
manning one per cent.
According to the VA, veterans
of World War II have until July
25, 1857, to make use of their
G.. I. loan benefits.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
@. I am a veteran of the
Korean fighting, and have just
signed up for a $4,000 inSur-
ance term policy = the new
type that's available to Korean
veterans. Will I get dividends
from this policy?
A. No. Under the law, divid-
ends are not payable on the
new types of insurance for
Korean veterans. Your premium
rates, however, generally will be
lower than for National Service
Life Insurance for World War
II veterans, a type of insurance
that does pay dividends.

Corn Borer Makes
First Appearance
In Montana Fields

The European corn borer, a
pest that last year alone is
estimated to have destroyed ov-
er So million bushels of field
corn in the United States, made
it's first known appearance in
Montana this year, according
to j. P. Corkins, assistant state
entomologist at Montana State
college.
Previous to this year the near
est known infestation of this
destructive pest was near Minot,
N. D., Corkins said, but it has
been spreading slowly westward
since it was first discovered in
this country in 1917.
