Interior Dept. Opposes Counties

WASHINGTON M-The Inter ior Department told Congress it opposes payment of bounties for the control of fish predators, such as hair seals, sea lions in the Pa cific coast Alaskan fisheries.
 Asst. Secretary Ross L. Leffler, in report on pending Senate bill said the FWS found bounties gen. orally serve more as, Ia means of harvesting the annual crop of pest species being bountied, rather than as an. effective measure to control predators. Under such a system, predators are taken where the take is easiest and least ex- pensive, and not necessarily where their taking does the most good. !"
 Leffler expressed preference for direct control measures and the employment of professional hunters and trappers who would concentrate their efforts in prob fem areas. He said such measures are much more effective and less expensive. He cited the use of such direct control measures by Alaskan Department of Fish and Game in the Copper and Stikine River districts, where hair seals prey on salmon runs. In contrast, he said, Alaska Legislature for many years authorized bounties on hair seals without any apprc- ciable benefit to salmon or other resources.

AcS Inaugurates Toll Dial Plan

"A program to extend the bene- fits of the nationwide toll dialing plan for the United States to the Territory of Alaska was announc- ed Friday by Colonel Carl HI. Hatch, commanding officer of the U. s. Army Alaska communica- tions system.
 Under the program, ACS toll centers at Anchorage, Fairbanks, Ketchikan, and Juneau will be equipped so that long distance telephone calls between these points and cities in the U@;ted States can be dialed directly by long distance operators.
 Service from Anchorage and Fairbanks will be inaugurated ear ly in January 1859, when the Pa cific Telephone and Telegraph company places their automatic toll switching equipment in oper- atiOn at Seattle, Washington. Similar service will be extended to Ketchikan and Juneau when funds and equipment become available.
 Integration of the ACS with the nationwide dialing plan will be the most far-reaching advancement in Alaska since the inauguration of the submarine cable service to Alaska in 1856. Colonel Hatch stated.
 During September 1857, the ACS transferred its responsibili- ties for operation of the army command and administrative net work to control of, the 9th army in the states. In January Q" this year, the Alaska portion ce this strategic military communication network.-4Was transferred to the eontrolsof the. U> $. Army, Alaska.
 Colonel Hatch commented that, $ result of the ACS being re- Iieved of the responsibility for providing strategic military com munications for Alaska, the sys- tenn is now concentrating on pro- viding more efficient public of fering service to the territory"

transport of live whales for scientific. and educational pur- poses resulted from an expedition jointly sponsored by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game; the New York Geological Society; and the Pacific Ocean Park, Cali fornia. Two of them were captur-, ed in nets. The third whale was subdued by diving on it in shallow water and placing straps around it's neck and tail.
 Although four men were tho roughly thrashed by the violent animal, they succeeded in harass- ing and capturing it in perfect condition.
 While out of water, the animals were supported on foam rubber and air mattresses. This method of support proved entirely satisfact- ory and none of the animals ex- hibited stress. The successful out come of this expedition marks the first occasion in over half cen tury that beluga whales have been captured and transported alive to aquaria. It is anticipated that these animals will provide much information of scientific value that has been impossible to obtain from whales in the freedom of the ocean.
