Fish X Wildlife Official Defends
 Air Force Generals

JUNEAU, R-Air Force gener- als violated no game laws in Alas ka last year when they went on a hunting trip which has been called to congressional attention, game administrator said Friday
 The defense of the generals came from Clarence Rhode, wild life administrator of the Fish and Wildilfe Service, who said he wis tied the Brooks Mountain hunting camp at which about dozen'' military officers were staying.
 His remarks followed disclo- sure that Keith Hart, a former civilian employe on the Air Force Arctic Aeromedical Laboratory at Ladd Air Force Base, Fairbanks, had written congressman about the hunting trip.
 Hart said he had resigned his laboratory job "in protest against the fragrant disregard for Alaska's resources by certain high ranking officers"
 He named Gen. Nathan Twin ing, Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Earle E. Partridge, Gen. James Doolittle and others whose iden- titles are unknown to me"
 The Air Force said Friday it was investigating the matter.
 Hart said the hunting trip oc- cured during the national politi- cal conventions last summer while the officers were meeting for the announced purpose of planning the future of the Alas kan Air Command with the re- organization of the Continental Air Command.
 Instead of using airbases in Alaska, Hart said in a letter that went to Chairman Engle of the House Interior Committee, the party met at Agak Lake in the Brooks Range 275 miles north of Fairbanks. He said he heard off cers "tell of Gen. Twining killing two sheep; the legal limit is one"
 Rhodes statement said he was absolutely convinced there were no game law violations. He said he visited the camp at Agak Lake, a country which abounded with caribou and sheep.
 Most of the military personnel were taking pictures, not hunting, Rhode said, and everything was in order.
 Gen. Twining, he said, "has proved himself to bea true sports man and conservationist, and I don't believe he would ever vio- late any game laws"
 In Washington, Gen. Twining issued a categorical denial that "He violated any laws pertaining to the use of government equip ment or any game laws of the Territory of Alaska"
