Problem of Bears Killing Cattle at Kodiak Is Being Studied

WASHINGTON R - The prob lem of bears killing cattle on Ko- diak Island is being studied by the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Sen. Ernest Gruening put the problem to federal and state game officials after he received a com plaint from Kodiak cattlemen about bears attacking their anil malS.
 The Alaska Department of Fish and Game said it was taking steps to alleviate the problem. The fed eral agency promised to look into the situation and report to Gruen- ing.
 The complaint was made in a telegram from Dewitt Fields on be- half of the Kodiak Stock Growers Assn. The group cited lack of ac- tion by state and federal agencies and said it is imperative that we take action on our own to protect livestock"
 The cattlemen asked permission to poison bears.
 The Alaska Game Dept. told Gruening it has taken two steps in response to the plea for help liberal hunting seasons outside bear refuge on the island to attract additional hunters and sent staff members with aircraft to destroy predatory bears.

l6 AStrOnautS
 Complete Survival Course in Panama

PANAMA R - Three days and two nights in the jungle convinced 16 American astronauts tn hey would stay put and await rescue if a space ship ever set them down in such terrain.
 The astronauts completed a sur vival course Thursday. Th ey emerged from the jungle armed with machetes and dressed in boots and long underwear, garb normally worn under pressurized space suits. They were soaking wet from a driving rain.
 Undergoing the survival test were all seven of the original Mer- cury team, plus nine others chosen last September for future space flights.
 Their experience included an unscheduled but uneventful en- counter with six men of the semi civilized Choco Indian tribe.
 One astronaut said the most vicious-looking thing he saw was a toad.
 The spacemen ate survival ra- tions as well as river crab, snails and tropical fruit. Two sampled a lizard they caught
 They built they own shelters, made a raft of branches and vines, and tested signaling equipment.
 Helicopters dropped them off in the jungle but they had to find their own way out to a point five miles away.
 They said the hike convinced them it would be safe to stay where they landed. The astronauts operated in two- man teams. The teams stayed with. in sight or hailing distance of each other and were in radio contact with instructors.

Trans Top Religious Leaders Will Go on Trial

TERRAIN, Iran R Prime Minister Adullah Alan said today Is of Trans top religious leaders and 50 key agitators will go on trial for triggering anti-govern- ment riots that killed at least 79 persons.
 Alam said the Mullahs - reli- gious leaders-could get the death penalty for their role in the riots aimed against the Shah's program of land reform and emancipation of women.
 Tehran appeared quiet today.
 Riots erupted two days ago when religious demonstrators de- nounced the Shah for arresting the newly acclaimed leader of Trans Shiite regilious sect, Ayatullah Khomaini.
 The government accused him and other influential Mullahs of opposing land reform, the leasing of Moslem-owned land to peasants and the new rights for women.

County Case
Continued From Page Il

The arguments III the Circuit
Court stem from a decision by
Judge Oren R. Lewis in the Fed
el'al District Court which said
Prince Edward public schools
may not stay closed While the
state maintains a public school
system in other parts of the
State.
A case of equal importance is
now pending before the Rich
mond Circuit Court. which is a
State court. This case was argu-
ed December IA. 1862. and OBJ
servers expect a decision to be
handed down in the very near
future.
The State Court test was
brought by the Prince Edward
school board. seeking to de
termine who has public school
operating responsibility under
the Virginia constitution
T h e question facing Judge
John Wingo Knowles is roughly
this: Does the State have to
operate a public school system
in a county. when the county
board of supervisors refuses to
a propriate money for
schools?"
The Virginia Supreme Court
has already held that the county
board cannot be compelled I'm
der the State constitution to ap-
propriate funds for public
schools.
Another very important point
i'll the State Court was raised
by j. Segar Gravatt, represent
ing parents in Prince Edward
and admitted to the case as "a
friend of the court
Gravatt contends that the par
ents in the county are entitled
to State tuition grants WHETHER
or not public schools are operat-
ing in the county. Judge Lewis
has enjoined the processing of
such grants for Prince Edward
parents as long as the public
schools remain closed, although
every other child in Virginia is
eligible for such grants
No indication has been given
by either court when a decision
will be handed down.
