NIFTY YEARS AGO today, steps were taken which A saved a remnant seal herd from probably extinc- hOn and built it into valuable and continuing re- source
 It was on July 2, 1911, four nations, Japan Rus sia, Great Britain and the United States signed the fur seal treaty ending the killing of fur seal the high seas and providing formula for sharing the kills made on rookeries.
 Effective conservation practices on the Pribilof Islands of which there four has resulted with the herd being built up until it indicated that there were 15OO 900 fur seal Systematic kills have resulted in worthwhile industry.
 Until 1913 all skins shipped to England for processing since then the work has been done in St. Louis Mo- with auctions held each April and October
 With Alaska needing new industry, this industry which in 1860 grossed $9201 1892 should be diverted from St. Louis, Mo- to somepace in the State of Alas ka Aleuts and Eskos should be trained in the art of handling of these skins from start to finish The pro- cess, told takes 125 distinct operations After all, the Pribilofs part of Alaska
 The government has seen fit to contract the pro- cessing to private firm the Fauke Co. of St. Louis Alaskan furriers might we'll be interested in de- veloping the industry here in Alaska.

House Leaders
 Refuse to Increase Size of the House

WASHINGTON R - House leaders have quietly but firmly rejected all proposals to increase the size of the House in order to prevent some states from losing seats because of population de- clineS.
 The effect of the decision may be that the House elected in 1862 may contain dozens of members chosen in statewide rather than district voting.
 Of the 25 states whose con- gressional delegations will in- crease or decrease in the next House if the size of that body is not enlarged, only 13 have en- acted redistricting laws In two of those 13 states the legislative action has not become final.
 The others presumably are waiting to see what Congress will do, or have encountered political obstacles in their redistricting eff forts. Among them are Massa- chusetts, Pennsylvania and Illi- nois, with a total of 63 seats in the new Congress if the size of the House is not changed. All may be elected in statewide contests.
 Congressional leaders believe that once the state legislatures are convinced that there will be no action by Congress, they will move swiftly with redistricting legislation rather than take politi- cal risks which normally accom- pany state-at-large congressional elections.
 In states losing seats, all mem bers must run at-large unless their legislatures enact redistrict- ing laws. In those gaining seats, only the added seats would be contested on an at-large basis in the absence of redistricting.

Subpeonas Being Served On Big Time Mobsters

WASHINGTON R - Senators planning massive investigation of coast-to-coast racketeering re- ported Thursday they are quietly issuing subpoenas for big shot gambling, narcotics and white slavery mobsters.
 Sen. John L. Mcclellan, O. Ark), chairman of the Senate h. vestigations Subcommittee, had announced previously such an in- quiry was getting under way. He has declined to identify any of those about whom the inquiry will center.
 The subcommittee has had a great deal of experience with witnesses making sudden trips outside the country once word gets out that they are under in- vestigation.
 Sen. Karl E. Mundt, R-S. D., senior Republican member of the subcommittee, confirmed that sub- poenas are being written and handed out to U. s. Marshals to be served on wanted witnesses.
 He indicated the first patches of subpoenas being written are for gamblers. but it was learned some of those sought also are reputed big time operators in narcotics and prostitution rackets

2 Soldiers Recommended For Soldiers Medal for
 Saving German Boys Life

ASCHAFF'ENBURG, Germany R - U. S. Army officials said yesterday two soldiers who saved the life of a German boy and then disappeared have been rec commended for the Soldiers Medal, the highest Army peace time medal for bravery.
 The two, Elzie Dean Scott, 19. Omak, Wash, and Michael Wick wire, 20, Spokane, Wash, were wandering around downtown Aschaffenburg, June 10 when they spotted Miachael Stronger, 5, hanging by his hands from a fourth-f window of his home, about 100 feet above the ground
 They braced themselves under the window, locked arms and seconds later, caught Michael as he plunged screaming toward the concrete sidewalk. When MichaePs mother and German police looked for the lads rescuers, they had disappeared.
 But their buddies back in camp heard radio broadcasts about the incident and after days of per suasion, finally talked them into identifying themselves.
 Officers quoted Scott and Wick wire as saying they left the rescue scene when they saw Michael was back in his mothers arms.
