Wildlife Service
Frees Bull Moose
FAIRBANKS, (/P)— The van
quished and the victor in Alaska’s
dramatic batttle of the bull moose
have been separated—the winner
to seek his prize, the loser left
as food for the ravens.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice did what the two huge gladi
ators could not—pulled their tan
gled horns apart after cutting the
wire which had enmeshed them.
Wildlife Agents Ray Woolford
and Frank Glaser concluded the
titanic struggle yesterday, after
being flown to the remote battle
ground 20 miles south of here
beside the Tanana River.
There they found one moose
dead, its neck broken sometime
during the battle they estimated
had lasted at least two weeks. The
other proud and angry animal was
bound to its victim by wire which
Woolford said had once towed a
U.S. Air Force target.
“The live bull was so mad we
could see his red eyes blazing 50
feet away,” Glaser reported. “He
made repeated attempts to get us
while we cut the wire and pulled
the horns apart.” But the moose
was tied to a tree during the op
eration.
Afterward, the rescuers untied
the big animal and he made sev
eral angry passes at them. Then,
as though lured by the original
prize in the battle—a herd of
cows (moose)—he stomped away
into the woods, his broken horns
a silent testimonial to his victory.
Pumpkins for Alaska Kids
The children of the Fort Yukon
Territorial School at Fort Yukon,
Alaska, had two dozen pumpkins
—the first they've ever seen—
flown to them by Pan American
World Airways and Wien Alaska
Airlines this week.
Because of a touching letter the
children sent B. A. Gillam, owner
of the Nevada Kid Store in Fair
banks, asking for a pumpkin
"quotation", the Pacific Fruit and
Produce Co. in Seattle was ap
proached.
This company, upon hearing
that the children had never had
a real Jack-o-Lantern, decided to
give them the pumpkins. Inci
dentally, the 24-year-old pump
kin (upper right) is Miss Tina
Hawkinson, an employee of the
produce company.
Army Troops Used
In Test A - Blast
With No Casualties
LAS VEGAS, Nev., (&)—U. S.
Army troops were exposed yester
day to an atomic blast for the
first time, and came off without
casualties and with knowledge
which #may prove “greater .than
anticipated.”
Official confirmation of the
troops’ participation in Thurs
day’s blast came from Maj. Gen.
William B. Kean, commanding
the Army’s Third Corps.
Another Army spokesman, de
clining to be quoted by name, said
“This is the one test in which
troops will be involved.” This
was taken to indicate that the
Army is satisfied with what it
learned and will not participate
in further AEC experiments here.
Seven minutes after the blast
Las Vegas, 75 miles away, was
rocked by the concussion. Win
dows were broken in at least
three stores on downstown Fre
mont St., and the AEC quickly
posted notices saying residents
suffering damage could file
claims.
Today’s was the fourth in the
current group. Five went off at
the range here last winter.
The fact that the flash itself
was visible here in bright day
light indicated to observers that
it was not a so-called “baby A
bomb” of the type set off in the
first test here.
That one couldn’t be seen in

A white cloud soared more than

touched with pink; but from here,
at least, the brilliant flashes of
color seen in Tuesday’s blast were
missing.
