War On Wolves
Shows Progress
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The gov
ernment is waging a war on Alas
kan wolves to protect Santa Claus
favorite steed and a vital food
source for natives—the reindeer.
It’s the first organized attack, a
government expert said today, on
wolves and coyotes which have
helped reduce Alaska’s once-rich
herds of reindeer and caribou to
the danger point in some areas.
Government agents spot wolf
and coyote trails from reconnais
sance airplanes, and then go in on
foot to place poison-gilled ‘^baits’’
designed to kill the wild raiders
without harming valuable fur
bearing animals.
This was reported by Dr Dorr
G. Green of the fish and wildlife
service at a meeting of American
and Canadian scientists gathered
to consider research needs in stra
tegic Alaska.
Green reported the two-year
old program—devoted largely up
to now to preliminary surveys
and limited operations—is already
showing good results in reducing
reindeer and caribou losses.
NEW POCKET DEVICE
FOR TESTING RADIATION
WASHINGTON, (IP)—'The army
displaying a pocket-sized device
to show quickly whether a man
has had too*much atomic radia
tion, said Wednesday all troops
will eventually be equipped with
them.
Called a “Dosimeter,” the de
vice is a flat metal box with a
chain designed to be worn around
a soldier’s neck. The army said it
can be mass produced for .under
$1.
It contains a small film packet
which, developing itself on ex
posure to light, changes color if it
has been subjected ta atomic gam
ma rays. The degree of radiation
can be measured roughly by the
whiteness of the film strip.
SEATTLE, (IP) — More than 12
tons of poultry, fresh milk, pro
duce, ice cream and other foods
for Alaska’s Thanksgiving dinner
tables will be flown north within
the next few days by Pan Ameri
can Airways. D. E. Berard, Pan
American cargo sales representa
tive, said the north bound cargo
planes will be loaded to capacity
the next few days.
