Decrease of Whooping Cranes Worries ConseFvafionisfs

A final fall-winter count ol whooping cranes at their winter refuge in Texas shows the sole surviving flock of Americas rar- est migratory birds has declined to q, three short of the previous year, the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice reported this week.
 Reports from the Aransas Ma tional Wildlife Refuge state that no offspring arrived at the Fed eral sanctuary with the flock when it moved down from it's breeding grounds in the far north. This is the first time since popu. lation records of the giant, res onant voiced birds have been kept that the cranes have come to their Texas wintering grounds without at least two young birds. Since establishment of the Arkansas Refuge in 1897, the annual faII- winter censuses have shown an average of four fledglings each

 Despite Federal efforts 10 save the unique cranes from extinc- ton, natural losses and the gun fire of careless or malicious hunt CTS have held down the growth of the flock. The first official count of whooping cranes in 1938-39 ac- counted for IS birds. In 1941 AZ the flocn reached low point of 15. The wintering population then rose gradually to 34 in 1949- 50 but declined again to q in l952-53.

HEART CLINIC TO BE
 OPENED TO ALASKANS

Funds contributed to the cur rent Heart Fund campaign in the Third Division will be used to enable Alaskans to use facilities of the diagnostice heart clinic at the University of Washington, it was announced in Anchorage this week.
 Max Hodel, Anchorage busi- nessman who is chairman of the drive for the South Central Alas ka Heart Association, announced plans for the financial grant to the university medical school clinic. A mail campaign for funds is currently being carried on in Palmer, Cordova, Kodiak and Seward, as well as in the Anch- orage area.
 Members of the Heart Associa- tion's board of directors include Don Irwin and Ed Smith of Pal mer and Dr. Francis Phillips of Seward.
 Your contribution helps to ad- vance the program of the local Heart Association, which includ- eS research, education, and com munity service" Hodel explain ed. This year, for the first time, these three ends will be simul- taneously served by the associa- tion's making a financial grant to the diagnositc Heart Clinic at the University of Washington. Then Alaskan patients having compiz cated heart problems which can not be handled adequately here, can be referred by their physi- clans to the clinic without the us- ual cost. There they will be seen by doctors who are highly train ed and skilled in handling heart problems.
 This arrangement will repre- sent a direct service to Alaskans as it will remove financial bur den from a group of heart pa tients, many of whose livelihood is no doubt already jeopardized because of their heart disease" Hodel continued.
 Your contribution is needed. Seventy-five per cent of it is used for the running of the local heart program. The remainder is con tributed to the American Heart Association for the operation of research and educational pro-

It's Your Money

Regulations governing earning
restrictions have been changed
in the new social security law
Under the old rules, wages, SAL

ployment were disregarded when
considering earning restrictions.
So that every one be on an
equal basis. beginning this year,
all wages. salaries or self-em-
ployed net profits. whether
covered or not. must be included
when computing earning restric-
tions.
II you have been getting
monthly checks while your nom

ing restrictions. you must cut out
that income to comply with the
new ruling or notify Social Secu-
rity to stop your monthly, checks.
Earning restrictions have been
increased. One entitled to IL

of earnings. the eligible insured
employe is paid monthly bene-
fits for all months Of the year
in which specified earnings are

the remaining months Of the
year. You may earn over $50
in each Of the IL months. but
so long as the total for the year

no restricted earnings from any
outside source exceeding $50 q

.Bricker Will Submit
Amendment Again
sy The Assoeiossd Press !

Senator Bricker. Republican,
Of Ohio said he will reintroduce
in the Senate today the proposed
amendment to limit treaty pow
ers which aroused White House
opposition and lengthy Senate
debate a year ago.
Senator Bricker said he hopes
he and President Eisenhower
this time may be able to agree
on appropriate language"
The proposed constitutional
amendment would revise the
treaty-making power. Among
other things. 1t would make
treaties valid as domestic law
in this country only II appropri-
ate legislation was passed by
Congress or State Legislatures.
Senator Bricker, who will
feintroduce his version, said
"the possibility Of one-man law
within the United States must
be ended" r
With Democrats now in con-
troll of the Senate, Senator
Bricker's proposal appeared
again to be up against tough
perhaps tougher opposition.
