Million Sought For Harbor Work

The small Boat Harbor at Ko- oiak was included in additional funds sought from the House and Senate Appropriations Committee Dy Delegate Bartlett, who asked tnat the $,1,358,OO0 contained in tne budget for construction of AL aska navigation and flood control projects be increased to s12884 zoO. Thirteen projects in Alaska would be affected.
 Delegate Bartlett pointed out in seeking funds in addition to the budget requests that Congress has authorized construction of six small boat harbor and breakewater projects at Craig, Elfin Cove. Ko- diak, Pelican, Sitka and Skagway m addition to WrangelI, Ketchikan ana Valdez projects already con tanned in the Presidents budget request.
 These projects, Delegate Bart lett stated, "totalling only $12,8 zoO, would provide greatly needed harborage facilities and make ottentimes hazardous and time consuming voyages a thing of the past. The benefit which would flow from their completion cannot be measured in dollars. I urge that in addition to the $1,358,OO0 request ed in the budget that good meas ure of the remaining authorized projects totalling $12,844,20O be considered favorable for immedi ate construction"

AsssAs Gsnse Agents Passes sfIl9esRase

Alaska wildiife officials point out that few people living in or outside of Alaska realize the vast area it encompasses. It is difficult to visualize an area one-fifth the size of the United States, contain ing 586, 400 square miles.
 Neither the abundance or varie- ty of the Alaskan game species are equaled in any other area under the American flag; nor has the Fish and Wildlife Service, charged with the protection of wildlife, a greater or more complex responsi- bility.
 Missing are the usual facilities for surface transportation. Only 2,174 miles of improved roads are open to year around travel. The one railroad in the Territory is but 470 miles in length and crosses two mountain ranges between the sea coast town of Seward and the largest city of the Interior, Fair banks. Contributing to the com pleXity of the conservation prob lem is a rapidly increasing perma- nent and transient population near the larger defense centers where the primary interest in wildlife is recreational as opposed to the small inaccessible villages where wildlife is the basis of local econo-, mics.
 Alaska'S present protection staff| consists of twenty game manage! ment agents located at nine wild-I life district headquarters. These districts vary in size from 19,000 to- 292,000 square miles-the last be-, ing Fairbanks, which is unquesion-, ably the largest of its kind under the American flag. The smallest district in Alaska is larger individ-I ually than several of the States, yet
Kodiak mirror., 1956-03-31
KODIAK, ALAsAAs MARCH 3l, 1858

even the smallest State maintains a greater protective staff than is provided for all of Alaska.
 During the past year Alaska agents travelled a total of 518,7 miles by aircraft, vessel, outboard motorboat, auto, foot and dog team while enforcing conservation regu- lations, conducting game surveys, sealing beaver, banding birds, hold ing hearings, participating in search and rescue missions and other activities.
 Patrol mileages and methods re- flected changes to meet the pres ent day challenge of wildlife man. agement. In 1881 the Fish and Wildlife Service owned and oper- ated four dog teams with total of forty-eight dogs. In that same year those teams travelled 10000 miles while travel by plane was but 5000 miles. Since then, travel by dog team has declined to a 50 mile yearly average while the use of aircraft has steadily increased. The first airplane for wildlife pro lection was acquired in 1889, To day the. Service operates a fleet of nine planes in that program. Aircraft patrol mileage alone dur ing the past year was over 350,OOO miles. M, 'f,a.'s

Juvenile Court 5udoeship

Juvenile Court Judge Cockrill's term
expired last August Under the law she
continues in Office until a successor is
named. In fairness to Judge Cockrill and
the community the uncertainty of her
own tenure should be ended. She should
be reappointed, or someone else should be
appointed to succeed her.
Judge Cockrill is one of the hardest
working judges in Washington. No Judge
In any court faces more difficult and
battling task. There is no question as to
the sincerity with which she has at
tempted to conduct the court within the
confines of the law as she sees it. She has
convictions of her own in that respect
and she has stuck to them with conscien-
tiouS tenacity.
Despite such virtues, however, there
is no escaping the impression that Judge
Cockrlll either is out of step with other
community agencies or that they are out
of step with her. We do not believe that
she has been able to inspire the conf
dence in the work of the court that is
necessary if it is to receive full COM
munity support. We think it is time that
somebody else were given the opportunity
to win that confidence, or to show that
secrecy and public confidence are incom-
patible and that achievement Of both
is impossible.
The Department of Justice, in our
opinion, should recommend to the Presi-
dent the appointment of qualified
successor to Judge Cockrill and the ap-
pointment should be made without fur
ther delay.

Stranded Nomination

The President has done what he
could to expedite action on the nomina-
ton of Solicitor General Sobeloff to the
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. There is
not great deal that President can do,
however, in situation of this kind.
Mr.. Sobeloff's name was sent to the
Senate almost a year ago-only to be
stranded in the Judiciary Committee,
headed by Senator Eastland A subcom-
mittee has completed hearings, and may
take favorable action within few daysS
But the nomination may be finally buried
in the full committee.
It is to be hoped that this will not
happen. The indications are that Mr..
Sobeloff would be confirmed by COM
Portable margin if the Senate ever gets a
chance to vote on the nomination. Ger
tainly, there has been nothing in the sub
committee hearings to indicate that he is
not fully qualified for the post. And this
being so, the fact that some Senators may
not like what they understand to be the
nominees personal views on segregation
should not be permitted to stand in the
way of final action, one way or the other,
on the nomination. The President has re-
affirmed his confidence in Mr.. Sobeloff,
and we think he was entirely justified in
expressing the hope that the nomination
will be confirmed as rapidly as possible.

Our Own Ball Team

Calvin Griffith, president Of the
Washington Baseball Club, has made a
fortnight and welcome response to re-
ports that the Senators American League
franchise might be moved to another city.
He has described the reports as base
less and without foundation, and has
pointed to the clubs rebuilding program
as evidence of its hopes for the future.
H. Gabriel Murphy, treasurer and prin-
cipal stakeholder of the club, has sup
ported this position.
Big league baseball has had its eco
nomic trials in recent years. Several
franchises have been shifted from two
team cities to new territories, with higher
attendance resulting. But Washington is
not a two-team city, the Senators are
not fighting croSstown rival for popu-
larity, and major league club is a
genuine asset to the National Capital.
Furthermore, the record bears out Mr..
Griffith's statement that this lis great

Harry Truman'S remarks about the
Squirrel headed general who planned
the Italian campaign must be taken not
only in the context of other remarks by
Harry Truman, but in the context of Italy
as well. Italy is traditionally unin-
hibited and uninhibiting country, and

Grafton. A natural tendency to sound off
is UNNECESSARILY intensified in country
where people love to talk anyway and will
listen to visitor, especially an American
ex-President, with expressions of the
most vivacious interest and encourage
ment.
It should also be remembered that
Mr.. Truman approached Salerno via the
Amalf1 Coast. Now this is one of the most
staggeringly beautiful stretches of real
estate in the world It's vistas of flower
decked cliffs, aquamarine sea and pierre

of soul would rather contemplate than
blow up. What Mr.. Truman said was that
there were lots of easier places the gen.
eral might have chosen. What he may
have meant was that there were lots Of
less beautiful ones.
All speculation aside, however, we
venture the suggestion that too much is
being made of this incident. There is no
reason for chancelleries to rock or cit
adels to wobble. The man on the beach
at Salerno was simply our Harry Truman
displaying his fine Italian hand for keep
ing things stirred up.

No Time to Gamble

We can see no wisdom in the rec
concentration by the House Foreign At
fairs Committee for slash of Sill billion
in the administration bill seeking $40
billion for economic and military assist
ance to our friends and allies abroad.
Chairman Richards and others have tried
to justify the action on the ground that
the reduced total, coupled with the I'M
spent balances from past appropriations,
would be enough to carry out the program
for the next two years or more. But
President Eisenhower and his top ad-
viSerS. including the Secretary of State
and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have
argued emphatically to the contrary.
Virtually all of the committees pro-
posed slash would apply to military
aid. 1t would cut this down from So
billion to So billion an exception
ally drastic pruning. The consequences
abroad, judging from official warnings
against it, could hardly fail to be lament
able. In the words of Defense Secretary
Wilson, it would be great mistake"
that would have very bad psychological
effect on our allies" and be "juSt as dis
couraging" as if our own defense funds
were slaShed by one third. And Repre-
sentative Vorys, in supporting the admin
istration'S position, has made the further
SOLDERING point that any such retrench-
ment would adversely affect "the new
special weapons program and reduce the
forces available for Korea, Formosa, Wet
Nam, Pakistan and Turkey"
In these circumstances, how can the
recommended reduction be justified? If
the House as whole votes in favor of it,
then every effort should be made in the
Senate to restore 1t. The world has not
suddenly become safe just because the
Kremlin has been putting on a show of
Discrimination. Actually, as far as the
military realities are concerned, the
United States and its allies must still
reckon with very great common dangers,
and for that reason-which is certainly
reason enough-CongresS would be taking
an ill-advised and ill-timed gamble If 1t
failed to provide for continuing foreign
aid substantially as advocated by the
President.

Try TYAgoin

Advocates of preferential treatment
for a gas station at Wisconsin and MaSSa-
chuSetts avenues NV. never seem to
get discouraged by rebuffs from any
source. Year after year they succeed in
getting bill introduced/to exempt the
service station from zoning restrictions
but always they have failed. Now their
perennial spokesman in Congress, Chair
man Mcmillan of the House District Com
nittee, once more has revived his bill to
permit the station to rebuild, despite
coming rule against it. ~>The bill deserves
the same fate it has met in the past
defeat.
The station in question is zoned as
a "nonconforming use" in a restricted
residential district. 1t has been allowed
to remain only with the understanding
that it would make no move to rebuild in
a more permanent way. Under present
coming regulations, it may stay where it
is as long as it is agreeable to remain
"aS is" But the owners want to build
permanent, modern gasoline service
station there. Mr.. Mcmillan, after sew
eral false starts, managed to get relief
bill through Congress in 1858, but PreSi-'
dent Eisenhower vetoed it on recommen-
dalton of the Commissioners. The Presi-
dent rejected the proposal as "spot zon-
ing" that could set precedent for 5000
other owners of nonconforming-use prop
critics in Washington.
The President was right. Spot zon-
ing is destructive of such orderly coming
as is proposed under the new regulations
to be considered at forthcoming series
of public meetings. The new regulations
would provide for the gradual elimina-
ton of nonconforming uses from the
coming map. That is the rule which
ought to be applied against the gas
station near Washington Cathedral.

dunn plans and tangible start on some
such project must be made here soon. The
Board of Trade already is working on the
problem. 1t would help, too, if the District
Commissioners would think seriously
about the possibilities of improving the
present neighborhood of the ball park
in way to make parking and transporta-
ton more accessible and to- make the
area safer and more attractive for those
who wish to attend games, particularly at
night. Given these encouragements, plus
the prospect that the clubs accent on
youth" program may produce better
team, Washington fans are not likely to
let the Senators down. We want them
to stay.

'By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

is made for motion. and needs
plenty of exercise to keep
healthy.
It must be kept in mind that
some specimens are just wan
derers by nature.
If left to themselves, they
will run away every night. -
There was a fine setter out
our way that ran away every
evening, and would be re-
ported from points miles and
miles away.
This dog wore his name and
phone number on his collar.
Such wanderers are always
in danger of falling into the
wrong hands, so if the dog is
valued, there is nothing to do
but treat it as outlined above.
Traffic problems are very
real, today, both for two-leg-
ged and four-legged beings.
1t is an amazing thing, that
the latter can do as well as
they do, since they cannot
read and can be talked to"
only in the most elementary
way.
The restricted dog at first
will not be too happy about
it, especially when spring Is
in the air, and the moon
shines.
With time, however. he will
get over it and be a healthier.
happier. and above all, cleaner
dog.
The dog which Is a born
roamer is a real problem and
nothing much can be done
with him except to do one OF
two things, either let him
roam or confine him, as sug-
gested.
He probably could Jump the
highest fence. @
Sensible restrictions do no
harm and in time the dog
comes to settle down to such
a life, provided he is given
plenty Of walking exercise on
a leash.
Sometimes overlooking will
help settle him down, but this
is the only time that SUPER
feeding can be recommended
and 1t must be accompanied
by as much walking as the
owner can get in.
After all, there is no exer-
else better than walking, both
for humans and dogs.
walking the dog" must be
reinstated in modern life as a
very useful and healthful
thing for all concerned.
