ALASKA WILDLIFE ON INCREASE SAYS FWZ SERVICE

JUNEAU - In spite of unprece- eented gains in population and on hunting pressure, Alaska's wildlife Is in sood shape with nearly all species on the increase, Fish and Nildlife Service officials announced this week.
 Contrasting the wildHfe situa- ton with that of the commercial fisheries. Regional Director Clar- ence Rhode said il is becoming more matter of how to best util- ize the annual increase Of large and small game rather than having to restore ii from depletion. Most fur animals have also increased. he said. l largely because of poor fur prices and better opportunities to make money in construction and defense jobs. Southeast Alaska's mink pop ulation and certain beaver areas are exceptions.
 Rabbits, grouse. and ptarmigan are near the top of their cycle of abundance and the situation is gen erally good with all species of big game, the Regional Office reported. 4 few years ago the white noun tain sheep population was at an all time low, the FNVS reported, but in all areas they are how showing a comeback. 1 closed season was de- ciared for the first time in 1949 and since then short seasons have contributed to increase of this prize game animal. Close to major popr ation areas such as Anchorage Lie FWS has had several permit hu ats to allow some hunting without talk ing too many animals.

 The student, Mrs Joseph Jim enez (then Rosario Abarques) was sentenced to be beheaded as a spy for the Philippine underground when her homeland was occupied by the Japanese during World War H. But since the execution date fell on the eve of the Emperor's birth day. it was postponed a day.

 While the caribou herds are still considerably below former abund- .ance. they. too. are beginning to show an increase in many areas ac- .eOrding to extensive FWS aerial surveys. Largest herds of caribou are now found in the vicinity of the Brooks Range where a sampling of the calf crop last spring showed a remarkable increase. Dep~edations by wolves has been severe in the caribou herds and FWS has concen- trated it's efforts in controlling pre- dators where the caribou are being hit hardost. Caribou range over thousands of miles and FWS biolo- gists are making detailed maps of time and extent of migrations as well as notes on range conditions and predator concentrations. Major efforts are now being made to control predators in the Nelchina and upper Susitna River area where the kill by man has increased each year but the herd has increased from about 4,000 to 1000 animals.
 May Liberlize Regulations
 We are about ready to reeom- mend liberalization of caribou hunting regulations. Rhode said. The isolated Alaska Peninsula herd, down a few years ago to about a l thousand animals from a previous l high of many times that number is now back to more than 5000 and showing signs of further increase More than 200 wolves have been taken on the Alaska Peninsula since the start of concentrated con- trol efforts to save the caribou.

Prime Minister Robert Menzies
committed Australia tonight to
give military support to the pro-

In so doing Mr.. Menzies broke
with historic Australian tradi-
ton that such commitments are
not made in advance but deter
mined by parliament after war
starts.

policy" Mr.. Menzies said. land

OF war and supplies, as we in
turn would wish them to support
u.s."
Mr.. Menzies spoke before a
crowded House of Representa-
tives.
Binding Commitments.
"There can be no joint assur-
ance of Australia's safety unless
we make binding commitments
with our friends" he said.
Communist aggression must
be resisted at the right time and
in the right places. To resist it,
we must understand its char
acter.
ut is not our business to con-
vert Communist powers away
from communism by force. But
it is our business to help see that
free countries, including our own,
are not converted to communism
by force"
Rejecting doctrine Of the
inevitability of war, Mr.. Men,
zies added, I'VE must not provoke
aggression, either by pusillanim-
ity or by weak appeasement or
on the other hand by being trig-
ger happy"
World Strategy Needed.
Mr.. Menzies said there must
be world strategy, world pre-
paredness and World co-opera-
ton if we are to be saved"
Emphasizing that SEATO did
not yet exist, Mr.. Menzies ap-
pealed to Asian countries to
participate.
"This is not a question of
color or race" he said. 1T is a
question of maintenance of
democratic freedom"
Mr.. Menzies said Australia
proposed to spend 200 million
Australian pounds ($45O million)
for defense, plus a reserve of
IL million pounds ($27 million)
unspent last year. He forecast
the possibility of a supplement-
airy budget asking even more.
