rsouG Esss Arrive Al Kodiak Nayai Station

First steelhead trout eggs or the 1854 season arrived here recently from the Karluk River Camp, located in the northwest corner of Kodiak Island. The egg taking operation at Karluk is under the supervision of Marcus w. Meyer, U. s. Fish and Wildlife representative from Juneau, Alaska. The eggs have been placed in Kodiak s Conservation Clubs Devils Canyon hatchery, located on the Kodiak Naval Station.
 The only steelhead hatchery in operation in Alaska, the ho- diak hstchey is now the home of 27l. 900 fish eggs, which are being cared for by Fred W. Bitle, fish culturist also from the U.aS. Fish and Wildiiie Service,
 The eggs arrived from Kar- lux in specially made con tainers, which provide a maxi mum amount of prote ction Tor the soft jelly-like embryo. m the early stages of fef tlllza- lion. the trout eggs are very susceptible to rough treatment and, at this stage, any jar or mishandling will kill them. It isn't until the eggs have .eyed', which takes 30 days that they enter what might pc classified as safe stage.
 2 After the eggs are counted they are put m pasqueto' T which hold around 36, Oco eggs each. The basquets are placed . in troughs where there IS a continuous flow of water. The process of counting is done ac- cording to a predetermined set SC le of water displace- ment. The first group averaged out 192 eggs per ounce. -Ac7 cording to MT. Bitle, tnis method of counting IS almost fool proof.
 The operation of egg taking at Karluk will continue until the '54 goal has been met. Ali ter the eggs are matched, the fish will be planted in the lake and streams of Alaska, in CO., operation with. the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service.

"Reactionaries under Senator

in an address before a Barnard

Bush Pilots Rescue
Three Survivors Of
Alaska CAT Crash

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Feb. s
Three of Is men who were
aboard an Air Force CAT which
crash-landed IS miles northeast
OF here Yesterday were found
in good condition by two bush
pilots and an Air Force surgeon
today.
The men, whose identity was
not Immediately learned. were
about 10 or Is miles from the
spot where the planes wreckage
was sighted. 1t was not known
whether they parachuted or
walked to the point where Don
Sheldon landed his small plane
in a near-blizzard. Two other
survivors have been seen from
the air at the site of the wreck
age.
With Mr.. Sheldon were Mai.
Carl NJ. Russell. wing surgeon
at Elmendorf Air Force Base,
Anchorage, and Cliff Hudson
bush pilot who first spotted the
wreckage.
In Good Condition.
They reported by radio late
today that one of the three fliers
required first-aid treatment but
that all were in good condition
otherwise Radio contact with
Mr.. Sheldon was extremely bad
and only the scratchiest of mes
sages could be received.
Mr.. Sheldon reported it may
be necessary to spend the night
where the men we're found, 5l2
milest west of Gold Creek. He
said the snowstorm was ter
rife" and limited visibility to
one-eighth of a mile with 300
foot ceiling.
Bernie Kosinski, managing edi-
tor Of the Anchorage Times. said
Air Force officials believe the
three men must have parachuted
from the CAT because they were
too far from the plane wreckage
to have walked.
Snow Bars Rescuers.
Snow at Curry, Is miles from
the wreckage, was 312 feet deep,
making it virtually impossible to
send in ground crews to the
downed plane, where two other
men were seen by Hudson late
yesterday.
Air Force planes from an
emergency landing field at Tai
keetna have been trying con-
tinuously to poke their way
through the snowstorm toward
the wreckage but thus far have
been forced back. They carry
pararescue. and paramedic crews
ready to drop beside the plane if
q landing is not possible.
Aboard the two-engined craft
when it left Elmendorf on 275-
mile flight to Laid Air Force
Base, near Fairbanks, were two
Army officers, IL Air Force men
and the three Air Force plane
crew members.
Hope that others may have
parachuted from the plane was
bolstered by a report last night
by Clarence Davies, Alaska Rails
road employee, that he had seen
a parachute open after hearing
q diving plane.
