Kskimos Charge
Russians Depleting
Walrus Herds
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — Alaska’s
far northern Eskimos may have a
legitimate complaint against the
Russians, too.
Clarence J. Rhode, regional di
rector of the fish and wildlife ser
vice, says the reduction in the |
Arctic walrus population may be;
due to heavy killing along the Si-!
berian coast. Walrus is a basic j
food and oil source of the northern
natives.
He said it has become a pressing
preblom in the Arctic. Rhode cited!
two known instances of walrus
killing along Alaska’s ice pack for
k ivory, but he said it is not a seri
ous factor.
“Six months of the year they i
<the walrus herds) range along the
Siberian coast,” Rhode said, “and
we know definitely that some are
killed there. It is immensely diffi
cult to control a game species only
in our range half of the year.
Heavy kills in the western Bering
Straits could wipe out a main sup
ply of Eskimo food.”
The wildlife director also said
the killing of hair seals by Alaska
residents, including natives, for
the $6 Territorial bounty, may
also bring an Eskimo food prob
lem. He cited the Bering Sea
area in particular. The bounty is
paid for the hair seals because
they prey on the commercially im
portant salmon runs.
Warning that “excessive killings
must &e halted,” he added: “A
very serious condition already ex
ists.” He cited caribou, another
native food source, as also falling
in numbers because of excessive
killing.
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P) — Hyp
nosis can produce symptoms of j
heart disease in healthy people
says Dr. Leslie L. Bennett of the
University of California medical
school. He reports experiments in
which subjects showed no heart
damage before or after the tests.
He says the experiments show
some of the difficulty which faces
doctors who try to diagnose heart
diseases.

Pope Calls for
"Crusade of Prayer*
w
VATICAN, CITY, (/P) — Pope
Pius XII declared in a worldwide j
encyclical yesterday the arma
ments race leaves “the souls of all
fearful and suspended.” He called
for a “crusade of prayer” on Pas
sion Sunday, March 26, to invoke
of God “opportune remedies to
prevent evils.”
The Pope said:
“Although war has ceased al
most everywhere, nevertheless
the desired peace, a solid and sta
ble peace that could happily re
solve the many and always in
creasing motives of discord, has
not arrived. Many nations place
obstacles in each others path and
as trust fades there is a race to
re-arm leaving the souls of all
fearful and suspended.”
RUSSIANS RECEIVE CIVIL
DEFENSE TRAINING
WASHINGTON, (/P)— Some 30,
000,000 Russians have received
basic civil defense training in pre
parations for an emergency, a re
port by the Senate-House atomic
committee indicated yesterday.
In a pamphlet on civil defense
against atomic attack, the com
mittee observed that the Soviets
are planning to train additional
civil defense “volunteers” at the
rate of 5,000,00 annually.
The pamphlet was prepared by
the committee staff for use of the
18 members of the group, who are
studying U. S. civil defense mea
sures as related to atomic and hy
drogen bomb warfare.
Many sport model cars, but no
support model.

For Statehood
SEATTLE, </P) — Alaska’s Gov.
Ernest Gruening stopped here
briefly last night en route by
plane to Washington, D. C., in be
half of the House-passed bill
which would give statehood to his
Territory.
An ardent advocate of Alaska
statehood. Gruening said he was
“hopeful but not overconfident”
that the bill will be reported out
favorably by the Senate interior
and insular affairs committee and
come before the Senate this ses
sion.
He repeated the statement he
has made many times before that
in his opinion Alaska will not re
ceive adequate defenses until it
becomes a state. He said the Ter
ritory is virtually defenseless
now and if appropriations asked
of Congress are granted it will be
two years before a radar screen
and housing for 25,000 troops are
completed.
