Wildlike Officials 1
Visit In Nome
- i
Arriving at the Nome Air Base
yesterday aboard an army trans
port were three officials of the
Fish and Wildlife Service. Robert
F. Scott, predator control agent of
Anchorage; W. A. Klton, regional
wildlife superviser, Juneau; and
Burton Atwood, member of the
national board of directors of the
Isaak Walton League, Chicago.
The three men are checking on
reports and stories of Alaska game
and studying the conservation and
proper use of wildlife resources
of Alaska.
Scott has been working in the
Unalakleet area, has controlled
the wolf situation until there are
no further reports of damage done
by predators in that district. He
states that he will be working out
of Kotzebue in an effort to control
the predators in the area from St.
Michael to Point Lay.
Scott stated that the service is
using every method known in an
effort to control, rather than ex
terminate the wolves. The meth
ods include hunting, trapping and
lethal bait. The latter has been
most effective.
Atwood, who said he has been
in Alaska the past four weeks, is
gathering information on game
relative to stories and reports
heard by his group in the States
as to the wanton killing of game
in Alaska. He reports that to a
great extent the stories have been
overdone. After going to Kotzebue
with the wildlife men he will re
turn home in Winnetka, 111., near
Chicago.
Bud Elton, as regional super
visor. is assisting both Scott and
Atwood in their gathering the
proper information on predator
control and conservation and
proper use of Alaska’s natural re
sources.
The trio will remain in Nome
for a few days before proceeding
to Kotzebue, where Scott will
make his headquarters.
Truman Semis
North Atlantic
Treaty to Congress
j “
• Continued on Pace f xt
fident that the Senate will event
ually ratify it. but a long debate
is expected once the treaty reaches
the Senate floor.
The first step at the Capitol
will be for the Senate foreign re
lations committee to hold hear
ings. The hearings will give oppor
tunity for the backers and critics
of the treaty outside of Congress—
to express their views.
Throughout Mr. Truman’s np
I peal for Senate approval of the
pact ran the theme that neither
j the United States nor any other
nation can “achieve peace inde
I pendently.”
Mr. Truman said that this na
tion has determined to do every
thing possible to insure that peace
is maintained in the knowledge
that “we can not escape the great
responsibility that goes with our
great stature in the world.”
Without referring directly to the
Soviet Union, the President said
the people of the “North Atlantic
community” have seen “solemn
agreements” broken, the rights of
small nations destroyed and the
people of small nations “deprived
of freedom by terror and oppres
sion.”
“They are resolved,” Mr. Tru
man said, “that these nations shall
not, one by one, suffer the same
fate.”
