Del. Bartlett Says Opposition to
Alaskan Control Of Fish, Wildlife
Is Half Truths and Pure Fiction

WASHINGTON, lPp-Opposition
arguments to legislation to give
Alaska control of its fish and
game resources were described
yesterday by Delegate Bartlett as
a combination Of half truths and
pure fictions.'
Various bills have been intro
duced to accomplish the transfer
from federal control. A hearing
to consider them is scheduled for
Thursday before the House Terri
tories subcommittee.
Bartlett said many members of
Congress are now receiving let
tiers from constituents-"especial-
~ from those in the business of
distributing and selling food
opposing the bills.
Although they come from many
sections of the country, Bartlett
said, the letters are almost identi-
cal in text land many do not vary
by so much as a comma
at is obvious that this letter
writing campaign has been in
spired and has a common origin
Bartlett said in a statement, add
ing:
"The letters present arguments
which are a combination of half
truths and pure fictions, They
plead for continued federal con-
troll over the salmon resources OF
Alaska in order to preserve the
resource while the statistical rec
ord shows clearly that under fed
eral management the supply of
salmon has almost reached the
point of extinction"
Bartlett said various Seattle
union locals have joined with the
Alaska Salmon Industry Inc. IN
opposing transfer of the fisheries
administration to the territory
The Department of the Interior
which now controls both fish and
came in Alaska through its Fish
and Wildlife Service, has mol
taken position on the transfer.

Weather Balloon
In Surprise Trip
West to Siberia

TOKYO "a US. Navy wealth
er balloon was radioing weather
information from 10000 feet over
Soviet Siberia Tuesday after
wild and unpredictable" winds
over the Aleutians reversed it's
course. &.
The Navy said the 40-foot plas-
tic gas bag, which headed east
across the Pacific after its launch
ing Saturday night, was now trav-
cling westward toward Russia at
100 miles per hour.
Because the high altitude jet
stream in which the ballons travel
almost always moves east, this
was the first of IL weather bal
looms launched by the Americans
from Japan to go the wrong way.
The Air Force suspended SINH
lar launchings from west Europe
last week after the Soviet Union
and other Communist countries
complained they were being used
to spy on them and were endan-
gering their aircraft.
Tracked by its automatic radio
transmissions, the runaway bal
loon made a 18O-degree course
change over the North Pacific is
land chain Monday night and
crossed into Soviet territory over
the Kamchatka Peninsula at
am. Tuesday e pm. psf Mon
day..
A Navy spokesman said the bal
loon was radioing valuable"
weather information on an area
which "has hitherto been a blank
to countries outside the Iron Cur
tain" But he added that the in
formation was mot what we
wanted"
The United States has vigorous
~ denied the Communist charge
that the balloons were being used
for espionage and said they flew
TOO nigh to endanger aircraft. But
Secretary of State Dulles said the
US. would be "disposed to try to
avoid the territory Of any country
which felt violent objections.
A late report from the Ntvy
has said the balloon has apparent
~ landed somewhere. The balloon
last radioed its position at $40
am. Wednesday 10000 feet above
the Siberian city of Chita, some
300 miles inland and near the
border of Outer Mongolia.

The House has fatty rejected
administration pleas to permit

mission today issued regulations
implementing the new law that
protects Federal workers against
salary cuts when their jobs are
downgraded as a result of re-
classification.
If the Redistribution occurred
on or after June ID. 1856. when
the bill became law, the en-
lploye must hold career or career
conditional status in the Federal
competitive service to receive
this saved rate" which cannot
be less than the amount he was
paid in that position on the
date of Redistribution.
If the Redistribution occurred
between July /, 1854. and June
I18. 1856, the saved rate" is Sc
cured by the new regulations
whether the employee was in the
competitive or the excepted
service and regardless of the
type of appointment. However,
the position must be in one of
the first Is grades of the
Classification Act of 1949, as
amended.
The saved rate" is not pre-
served to employees with less than
satisfactory ratings, those with
less than two years service
in the Redistribution position,
those who voluntarily take posi-
tons at lower grades or lower
salaries, OF those denoted to an
other position in a reduction-in-
force. It also is not granted to
employees who do not hold posi-
tons subject to the Classification
Act nor to employees in the three
top grades under the Classical
ton Act (GS-16, II and 49,.
Employees are eligible to earn
within-grade increases only in
the grade to which denoted, and
in accord with the regulations
normally governing such step in
creases. This would occur in
those cases where a step increase
in a lower grade to which the
job has been classified would
give an employe a larger salary

present 3 per cent rate. The
House committees bill provides
a financial penalty Of 112 pei
cent for each year under so.
Also. the Senate committee
revised its provision which would
have provided free survivorshir
annuities to the spouses of re-
tirees, at no cost to retirees
whose annuities are $2,400 a year
or less. The Senate group
changed this to provide for a
~ per cent cost on the annuity
of retirees drawing pensions OF
$4,000 or less and 10 per cent on
|annuities above that figure. The
House group approved a 3 pei
cent assessment on annuities OF
retireeS drawing up to $2,4O0 a
year and 10 per cent above that
Thus it can oe seen that the
House and Senate bills are not
too far apart.
The Senate committee re-
tanned the provision of COM
putting annuities on a basis of
l " per cent or 1-per-cent-plus-
SIS for five years and 2 per cent
on all service over S years. The
House committee formula is ~
per cent or 1-per-cent-plus-$3O,
whichever is greater, for all years
of service on the basis of the five
highest years average salary.
Also, the House committees
bill would become effective the
first of the month following sc
days after enactment, compared
to the January /, 1857, date in
the Senate bill.
On all the other features in
the Senate bill, such as greatly
liberalized Survivorship benefits
for the families of present Fed
eral workers and increased dis
ability retirement pensions, the
House group concurred.

ferees will not experience much
