Sen. Cruening Seeks to Open Waterfowl Treaty
By Fritz Witt
Associated Press Special Sery;ce


 WASHINGTON R - Should 2 native in the Alaska wilderness without food shoot a duck even out of season?
 By all means, says Sen. Ernest Gruening, who wants the Interior Department to lift doubts from the minds of ESkimos and others large ly dependent on hunting for food
 There was no problem about it, said Gruening, until 1861 when Fish and Wildlife Service agents. citing the 1861 migratory bird treaty with Canada, cracked down.
 He said the agents arrested "a number of Eskimos who were fol- lowing their immemorial practices of taking ducks for food at a sea- son when their other sources of food were not available"
 The state congressional delega- tion protested but was told the department had no choice but to enforce the law. The treaty provides that certain migratory birds are not to be hunted between March 10 and Sept. 12 in Canada and the United States.
 Gruening said the delegation pointed out that the treaty had been understood by authorities for 45 years mot to apply to in- dividuals, whether Eskimos or others in the wilderness, without food, and obliged as matter of self-preservation to take these ducks"
 There the matter has rested for two years in an uneasy state of fear, anxiety and hunger among the Eskimos," Gruening told the Senate in recent speech.
 However, he said, there are re- ports of threats of renewed en- forcement and arrest by Wildlife agents in Alaska apparently with out the knowledge of their chiefs in Washington"
 Gruening told a neWsman he is going to make formal request that the Secretary of the Interior issue regulations under which Esklmos and others may, without restriction, hunt birds needed for food.
 He charged the Interior Depart ment with failure ito meet this issue squarely and humanly as it was met by it's predecessors for 45 years"
 Fish and Wildlife officials have assured me that the number o1 ducks taken by the Eskimos in nc way jeopardizes the sport of ducl hunters in the lower AS states which appears to be the agency principal concern in this matter.

|Nenana Ice Goes Out
 Sunday at 6:25 pm.

NENANA LP' - The ice break up at Nenana stopped the clock at 6:25 pm. Sunday, after the Tanana River cut loose with tor rents of muddy water that toppled the tripod and sent the big river ice cracking into huge ice foes and pushing sluggishly down stream.
 The snapping guy wire which stopped the clock brought the 1863 Nenana Ice Classic to it's climax, and for five lucky winning pools it will be minute not easily for gotten.
 Excitement had been building in the little river town 60 miles southwest of Fairbanks on the Panama River, as the last few very warm days brought flooding creeks and tributaries pouring water into the ice-locked Panama. l The heavy torrents of water raised the ice level, cracking and straining the tremendously thick ice, and increasing the chances of a dramatic breakup.
 1 As early as 9:30 yesterday morn ing Watchful spectators were wait ing, cameras in hand for the ice to move. The crowd grew larger
 during the day, until by afternoon
 the whole upper end of the dock t was lined with people watching the ) tripod and quivering trip wire to t the official time clock on the D shore
 As action. increased about 6:1: e pm. Nenanans left their suppers e or skipped them altogether as they flocked to the river bank. ''The tower swayed back and forth for about a minute before it tripped and fell, then the ice
 began to move and breakup. Just
 before the breakup the water and ice level was only two feet from the top of the steel piling dock, and when the mass moved down. stream with the breakup the water surged right up over the dock in places," a Nenanan reported.
 High water already threatening Nenana is expected to rise even more as the ice runs Local resi- dents claim that because of the thickness of the ice, there may be unusually large jams down stream, which could endanger the | town as the water backs LID be- hind the jams.
 A number of persons will be sharing the prize money although there were only five listings under the winning time.
 Four of the winners are:
 Rudy and Betty Lorenson, Ko- diak; Harry, Griffin, Bessie and Lolly Quinton, Anchorage; John, Elaine and George Paajanen, Sut- ton.
 The fifth winning guess was made by Earl Adams Jr., Robert Ragen, Carl Hall, Darrell Walton, Delbert Driggs, Robert Janey, Richard Prebost, Patrick Muir, George Bibo, Frank Spellman, Edward Leary, Sidney Aldrige, Don Meyers, Elmer Dolan, Fred erick Shields, all of Clear. Don Clark, manager of the pool, . said it would be several days be- fore the amount of the winnings , would be estimated. l

R-M> Einstein Score Major Upsets
Einstein Claims
First League Win

Little Einstein bounded out
of the cellar of the Montgom-
cry County Class A League
last Saturday night and, to the
tune of tumultous support from
home fans, handed league-lead-
ing Sherwood a 55-46 lacing. 1t
was the biggest upset in the
Class A title race this season.
1t was a sweet victory for
Coach John Keller, who has
seen his quintet come out on
the short end of the score in
four other league contests this
season. Overall, Einstein has a
5-17 record.
Coach Eugene Doane's
Warriors, running pretty
much to form, jumped to an
early first quarter lead of 80,
but giant killing Einstein
bounced back from the char.
ity line, scoring their first
eight points of the match on
free throws.
Sherwood managed to hold
on the first quarter and led by

Northwood's Indians frightened
their hold on first place in
the Montgomery County Class
AA league last Saturday and
reaped revenge on an earlier
season victor, the Wheaton
Knights, when they won the
game, 53-49, on the losers
home court.
Coach Walt Dupee's Wheaton
quintet is the only one to de-
feat Northwood in league play
this season, but the Knights
haven't been able to do much
since then.
At the outset, 1t looked as
II Wheaton might pull a re-
peat performance over the
highIy-tOuted Indians, as the
Knights jumped to a first
quarter lead of 1875.
Their exhilaration was short
lived, however, as the North
wood cagers caught fire and
cut the margin separating the
two teams and then went into
the lead.
Much of the credit for the
NOrthwOod victory goes to
Dave CarrascO and Dick
Farmer, who had III and Ia
points I'm that order.
Carrasco has lately become a
scoring threat for the Indians,
after an early season slump.
Farmer has been a scoring
mainstay of his team all season.
Coach Paul Bolyard's team
will be the center of attention
in the county tomorrow night,
when they take on wounded

Going into the second half,
the fired-up Einstein quintet
went into a half court press
that proved effective against
the Warriors and caused
Sherwood the loss of the ball
on intercepted passes several
times. This coupled with a /,
poor scoring percentage by
Sherwood proved the key to
success for Einstein.
Sherwood had control of the
backboards throughout the
game, but couldn't hit their
shots after bringing the ball
down.
John Gossage with Ia
points and Bob Westwood !
with IL counters were the
chief scorers for Einstein.
Significantly, eight of Cos i
sage's points came on free
throws. Z
Einstein scored 10 field goals
in the contest, as compared to

Housing Project has begun

In November of 1862, the
Aided Self-Help Housing Prog
ram was introduced to the San
Carlos Apache Tribal Council.
This program was later changed
to Mutual Se1f-Help Housing.
One year has brought about a
great change in attitude toward
the program since actual con-
Struction has begun with ten
eager families.
Mutual Self-Help Housing as
the name clearly defines, is a
method of using leisure time,
with the aid of the Community
and other sources, that he might
improve his present standard of
living.
This is the Self-help method
Of building a home plus the fin
ancial aid of the United States
Government. 1t is an effective
way for Low-income families
to have enough courage to be-
come proud owners of good dur
able homes that will put them
or the same parellel as their
surrounding neighbors. Home
ownership will take several
years of planning by individual
participants of the project while
we'll carry through the Amort-
ization period.
Cooperation has been the big
"key" to the success of the
Program. The Tribal Council
appointed a Local Housing Au-
thority to act and promote the
program. The Bureau of Indian
Affairs has given every possible
assistance.
The Tribal Council and the
Local Housing. Authority have
made every possible effort in
passing resolutions and provid-
ing legal date necessary to make
this project success.
Educational Glasses are being
held with the participants, Civ
ing instructions and making

structing a home of their own.
