BOOK ABOUT
LITTLE ROCK
PRAISED

The recent fast selling book
on Little Rock by the father
and son team of Ralph and
Carl Creger entitled THIS is
WHAT WE FOUND, has been
receiving some excellent COM
mendation from many leaders.
The book deals with the his
tory of the Negro in America,
but handles very ably the 1857
Little Rock school crisis.
The book seems to be effec-
tive because it is written so
that the average white. south
erner can understand what he
reads, and the subject is ham
died so that he is not offended.
Many of these people have in
dicated to the authors that
their views on de-segregation
have been softened a bit be-
cause of the book.
Jackie Robinson says of the
book: II have just returned
from a vacation to find your
book. l wish to commend you
and your son on the job you
did. It's not an easy position
to take, and 1 admire you for
it. May /, too, offer my con-
gratulations and if I can do
anything to help, please do not
hesitate to call on me. Best
wishes for continued success"
Rufus Clement, President of
Atlanta University made this
comment: II have read This Is
What We Found with great in
terest and appreciation. Let
me congratulate you upon the
position which you and your
son have taken. All of us are
indebted to you. With kind
regards and best wishes, Sim
cerely yours"

that it (would) find them helpful
 in making its decisions for the coming season." One suggested
 amendment to regulations current at the time was to allow boats en- gagged in catching salmon with gill nets to use motor power. Though fish traps, the cheapest, the most efficient, and the most destructive
 method known in fishing, were allowed, yet in 4 dangerous areas including Bristol Bay and the waters around Kotzebue, only boats under sail were allowed to net salmon! The regulation was a lu- dicrous excuse for limiting the catch, and was the reason for more lives lost than in any other fishing areas. This regulation was amend ed, a small beginning, but a be- ginning in fact at long last.
 The Alaska Department of Fish cries hired a few men to patrol streams and critical escapement waters, and in succeeding years, as the Fisheries Board developed its long range plans of controls and conservation, young men in col leges in the states were given sum- mer employment in the small labs and fish hatcheries that were started throughout the territory. The Board hoped the young men would become interested in the future of its hopes for Alaska and want to settle here after college. A good number of them have.
 The annual reports by the Alaska Fisheries Board and the Alaska Department of Fisheries, from their inception in 1949 through the year 1857 show a steady increase in the numbers of activities relating to fisheries in the territory. The Legislature in- creased appropriations for the work, ,and with the cooperation of the U S. Fish and Wildlife Service, preditor controls, fish planting for both sport and commercial fish ing, biological research and water shed management were expanded, or started. Shrimp research was in- itiated, and in 1854, research on King Crab. But the fish trap re- mained while other less effective types of gear were prohibited.

recent years; in part the fault of encouragement was the system, in part, the infancy of research.
 Proof of the ignorance that pre- vailed and of the mismanagement of what was known are the statis- tics of annual yield which show a disheartening decline for the past 25 years. Salmon, for example, live to be 2 to 8 years old; the effects of everlasting are not felt for sev- eral generations but correcting the effects can take to generations, or as long as 15 to 30 years in the case of red Salmon.
 To the Territory of Alaska it was quite evident in 1948 that it's fish cries were in trouble and that a dynamic program of research and conservation was long overdue. Frustrated Alaskans voted in a plebiscite to gradually abolish fish traps, the worst of all the foes to sensible conservation, and though they knew full well their vote was but voice in the wilderness, they hoped it would be heard and needed. The Secretary of the Inter- for heard and publicly recon mended elimination of salmon traps, but the Fish and Wildlife Service, the one agency em- powered to decide the issue, washed its hands of the matter.
 To do what it could to remedy the ills of poor administration, the Territorial Legislature in 1949 ere ated the Alaska Department of Fisheries" to assist in conservation and perpetuation of this important resource; to promote more resi- dent ownership, management and control, and to cooperate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service" Karl Brunstad of Kodiak and J. Howard Wakefield of Port Wakefield were two charter mem bers of the Fisheries Board set up to govern the Department.
 The Board worked out a tenta- tive budget, hired director, c. L. Anderson of Seattle, who ap- pointed Lewis Macdonald as fish, cry supervisor, and made a number of recommendations to the Fish and Wildlife Service" in the hope
