kenai Peninsula Game Shows Increase
Says Local kenai Moose Range Manager

trend is a little lower this year
than usual. We counted % black
bear within a span of % miles
by air in 1860 and only II in the
same number of miles this year.
Of course, they may have been
hidden out in the brush or have
moved on to a different locality
The abundance of berries this
year is providing feed not only
for bear population but also for
increased numbers of ptarmigan
and spruce grouse, noted Hakala.
He also said rabbits or snowshoe
hare were plentiful and showed
a decided increase in numbers.
The 1860 moose hunting regu-
lations are an aid to hunters.
Hakala pointed out. Last year
camp had to be established prior
to hunting moose if an airplane
was used for transportation. This
year no such camp is required,
however no hunting can be done
from the plane.
Moose and other big game
animals repeatedly are in their
best condition now, due to the
series of mild winters giving
good winter feeding and the
abundance of browse and other
feed conditions.

The browse situation is at its
peak now in the 1877 Kenai Burn
area, although it is short, Haka-
la said. The eastern side has been
somewhat heavily used the asst
three mild winters by the main
herd which did not find it nee s
sary to move down from the
higher attitudes.
The gross area included in The
devastating fire which swept for
ests of the Kenai Peninsula in
1917 covered 100000 acres of
which $4,000 net acres burned.
Though restricted by fire con-
troll measures, the fire ragged for
approximately six weeks and fin
ally was extinguished by natural
means when heavy rains came.
Regrowth of young trees and
brush form the favorite browse
upon which moose feed.
Aerial count Of sheep actually
seen in the mountains of the
Moose Range this year numbered
SIT animals in comparison with
similar aerial survey of 1913 in
1859 and 763 in 1860. Actual
count of goats this year was 1873,
in 1860 it was 137.

Wild animal life on the Kenai
Peninsula is definitely on the
upswing, John B. Hakala, refuge
manager for the Kenai National
Moose Range, said Wednesday.
Conservation m sures. re-
srricted areas and controlled
hunting have protected the ami
mals IN their natural habitat and
the trend is on the increase for
al wild animal life, with the pos
sible exception of black bear.
"There are possibly 5000 or
more moose ON the entire ke1ai
Peninsula with an estimated
$500 of them within boundaries
Of the Kenai National Moose
Range, counting this years calf
crop" Hakala said.
If hunters are discouraged IN
failing to get their moose, It is
rot because of scarcity of bulls,
according to the refuge manager.
There are large numbers of
balls within the Range, more
than usual this year. They just
haven't come down TO the lower
levels vet" he said.

Salmon Research
Funds Increased

Nearly half million dollars
in additional funds has been made
available to the Alaska Depart
ment of Fish and Game for
salmon research, the Department
of the Interior has announced.
Last April, the Bureau Of Com
mercial Fisheries of the Fish ard
Wildlife Service announced that
S18f, 800 was being transferred
to the state for that purpose. It
was part of 81 million program
for salmon research approved by
Congress as part of supple
mental appropriation bill for the
remainder of fiscal 1861.
The contract has now been re-
negotiated for a total of S614,-
900, now that more funds are
available. The additional $433, 600
allocated to Alaska is for fiscal
1862.

When Mr.. Rusk is out of

According to one report, there
has been a general under

with Mr.. Ball or with Secretary
Rusk.
Mr.. Ball has been a close
associate of Adlai E. Stevenson,

Mr.. Bowles is described as a
phenomenal generator of
ideas" who is better suited to
long-range planning than oper-
ational work. His regional
conferences with ambassadors
have been unusually successful,
it is reported, in giving Ameri-
can representatives abroad a

evolving positions are.

The initial fallout cloud from

pected to reach the Aleutian
Islands late tomorrow and
Alaska or Western Canada late
Friday.
This was reported today by
atmospheric radiation experts
of the United States Weather

The cloud contains only a
small fraction of the total

stratosphere and won't begin to
come down until next spring.
The radiation experts said
the cloud, loosed by Mondays

Communists are going to be
careful In efforts not to let
their drive reach the point OF
an exchange of fire.
This is the point: The Rus
slams are insisting that the
Western allies are in West Ber-
lin only by virtue Of agreements
covering an occupied city-that
is. military agreements.
When the Communists erected
wall between the two parts
OF Berlin. they sealed off West
Berliners from contact with
Germans in the East. They
continued. however. to concede
the access right Of the Western
allies.
Enforce Sovereign Claim
At the same time they evil
IDENTIFY intended to enforce
their claim that East Berlin
no longer is part of occupied
territory but actually the SOW
ereign capital of a sovereign
state: Communist ruled East
Germany.
The West does not recognize
such a claim. The West con-
siders East Germany the So
viet-occupied part of Germany,
and East Berlin the Soviet
occupied sector of the city.
If only uniformed personnel
OF the allies can cross into
the Soviet = occupied sector,
then the allies would be en-
tering the city solely through
the tolerance Of the East Ger
man authorities. They would
in effect be obeying the die
tates of an Interior Ministry
of a government they profess
not to recognize.
A police officer of the East
sector made it airily plain that
this is what the Communists
are driving at. He told an
allied civilian that I'VE Ger
mans cannot enter the United
States without showing pass
ports" The inference was that
therefore United States civil
ians could not enter a sover-
eign East German capital with
out showing credentials. In a
word, East Berlin is part of
Communist East Germany.

its tacit assent.
The Councils recommended
tons on the two applications
will be forwarded to the

take the final action raising
the U. N. membership to 1O3.
A resolution covering both
candidates was being consid-
cred to get around a dispute

get priority.
Russian Threats
The Russians have been in

considered first. Then, if Mon

veto Mauritania to curry favor
