of four daughters and two sons
that he personally had bombed
Germany and shortly! afterward
the Germans gave up. It so hap

Guard At Federal Prison.
After his first retirement, he
took a job as guard at the Federal
Pentenitary in Atlanta, Ga. For
two years he put up with this but
moved back to Quantico to be close
to the Marines.
He Immediately began telling
everyone that he had spent two
years in Atlanta but was appro-
priately vague about details. An
other daughter said that family
friends for years were very kind
to the Flynn children because
wasn't it too bad about Porky 60
ing to prison?"
After his second retirement. he
took a job with the Belgian Eco
nomic Mission in Washington.
That was in 1948.
Hearing that the Belgians spoke
French, he went to night school
for a week to learn some French,
bought Homburg hat and re-
ported to work. That lasted a year.
When he got back to Quantico,
he was known as "the Belgian Am
bassador.'
Porky Always Helped "the Boys" :"
Friends in the Marine Corps
said Porky probably was one of
the best known men in the corps
because he always was doing some
thing for the boys. His favorite
stunt was to go out after men who
were planning to stay out AWOL,
hunt them down, and then pay
their transportation back to camp
so they would not get into trouble.
Capt. Flynn was active In the
affairs Of Buck Keyes Post No. %,
American Legion. serving as COM
mander at one time and on many
committees. He was the spark
that led to the post clubhouse
movement, resulting In the posts

Porky Flynn, an old-time Ma
rine who could get anything for
anybody at anytime, died Thurs
day in California while attending
a reunion of old Marine flyers.
Officially, Porky Flynn was
Capt. Harold Leo Flynn, 81, re-
tired. He has not been on active
duty since 1947, but lived at
Quantico to stay close to the
service he made his life.
His family said he had gone
to Pomona. Calf. to attend. a
meeting of the First Marine Avi-
alton Force Veterans Association.
Capt. Flynn had been associated
with the Marine aviation forces
since World War I when he was
selected for the first such group
because he was the thinnest man
available who could operate a
wireless set.
He weighed only 13s pounds
and stood S feet II inches tall,
thus his nickname of Porky.
Left Home to Join Up.
A native of Hallstead, Pa, he
ran away from home when in his
teens and enlisted in the Marine
Corps. That was the beginning
OF a career that has almost be-
come legend in the Marine Corps.
Capt. Flynn went through the
usual tours of duty with the
Marines. all for his work being with
the Quartermaster Corps in Marine
aviation until he retired as a 90
year-man in 1898. He was a
quartermaster sergeant at the
time.
Recalled to duty in 1912, he was
made a warrant officer and then
spot promoted to captain and sent
to Hawaii where he served during
World War II, again as the man
who could get any needed item at
any time if his flyers wanted it.
He retired again in 1947.
Stories Make Him Legend.
The stories about Porky Flynn
come up anytime a bunch Of old
time Marines get together.
There was the one about the
time he attended an American
Legion outing at Colonial Beach.
He was an active member of both
the Legion and the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars.
Capt. Flynn arrived at Colonial
Beach that afternoon some years
ago by parachuting out of a plane
with his suitcase in one hand and
a bottle Of whisky in the other. AS
he touched ground. he waved the
bottle and shouted:
"All right men. Let's 60"

An unusual note was struck as
hearings go at the public meeting

Alaska Game Commission when
Jack O'Connor, president of the

an offer in behalf of the Sports
men of contribution Of $500

Juneau and including the Taku
Valley. Rather than offers of aid

may be.

pared with others we have observed,
is somewhat on the dry side of
average.
AS matter of fact, the number
of legislators IN this session who
would not touch the stuff with any
thing shorter than a liquor control
bill is probably above the average.
Such drinking as it done b. legis-
lators il privately financed II d
hence TO- a matter Of record, and
this is nlsiniv true also of drinking
among Ala sal administrative f.
ficials.
The only publicly financed drink
ing of which we are aware in this
Territory is that provided by the
governors entertainment fund
which amounted t. $4,000 for tht
current biennium.
A survey of this account show:
that between April l, 1949, anc
October 5, 1850, total of 1891 IS
was expended for liquors Of various
kind, grades and potencies.

that the merits of the Alaska prof.
ect be given closer exar,iration.
At the head of the House calendar
this morning, but not yet acted upon
at the time of the noon recess, was
the Real Estate Board bill.
Next on the list is HIM. No. 6,
seeking an open season on Kodiak
bears. This was the subject of {
Committee of the Whole hearing
yesterday afternoon.
The PoIse was TO reconvene at
1:30 pm. today and had joint
session with the Senate scheduled
for 3 pm. to hear Marcus Jensen.
Committee of Whole
A Committee of the Whole, pre-
sided over by Rep Wendell Kay,
yesterday afternoon heard Karl
Brunstad, representing the Kodiak
Stock Growers Association, ano
Clarence Rhode, Regional Director
of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Brunstad, asserting that the bear
population of Kodiak Island is alone
responsible for holding back cattle
ranching there, said: I'm no previ-
GUS instance have predators been
protected by the U. S. Government
at the expense of an industry pro-
viding food"
He cited heavy losses by ranchers
to the bears but lodged Chairman
Kay's question as to the number O.
bears knocked off, every year by the
ranchers.
Rhode, on the other hand, said
only a small portion of the cattle
that die on the island each year
can be blamed on the bears. In one
study, he said, only five animals
were killed by bears out of 108 that
died during a four-month period.
Rhode attributed the heavy losses
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1951-02-16

to undernourishment during the
winter months.
Can Have Both
Rhode estimated that there are
fewer than a thousand bears on
Kodak Island and saw no reason
Why he bears and cattle -anchers
cannot gct along in harmony. The
law permits the killing of bears
when they are molesting livestock,
he said
Cushioned by Rep. McCuto.leo
O.. probable results if the mem rial
passed, Rhode said it would un-
1oubtedly be opposed by the Game
Commission. He said he doubted
that the memorial expresses III
views Of the majority of tb1 people
of Alaska.
McCutcheon then called attention
to memorials opposing fish traps,
backed by referendum vote.
Rhode said he does not believe
the referendum is the proper way
to manage a conservation program.
In the matter of fish traps, how
ever, he said the Fish and Wildlife
Service, not having the power to
abolish them, has recommended
that Congress take action.
Soon Exterminated
A wide open season on bears
would soon result in their virtual
determination on Kodiak Island,
Rhode said in answer to question.
The bears, he said, are easy to kill
in the summer when they are found
on the beaches or along the streams.
The House voted first to include
Kenai Peninsula in the open season
request. but voted down inclusion of
Admiralty Island. Later, it reversed
its decision on the Kenai Peninsula
matter on the grounds that trying
to cover too much ground might
weaken the memorial.
