Many Hunters
Bag Tlieir Game
I
U/P) Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON. </P) — About
two of every nine big game hunt
ers in U. S. and Alaskan national
forests succeeded in bagging their
quarry last year, the forest service
said today.
Annual reports of foreign su
pervisors showed that 1,200,000
hunters killed at least 279,000 ani
mals on government forest lands
in 1948. Deer, elks, bear and other
animals made up the total.
Despite the* kill, the forest serv
ice said, the big game population
in U. S. national forests increased
68,000 over the 2.402,000 animals
reported in 1947. But this was the
smallest. increase in years and
represented a leveling off from
the upward trend that has prevail
ed for 25 years, the agency added.
Reports by regions included:
Alaska, 8,300 hunters killed
8,700 animals.

Rail Dispute
Settlement Near
' CHICAGO, </P)—The prolonged
i wage-hour dispute between the
i nation’s railroads and 1,000,000
non-operating employees appeared
i headed today for final settlement.
The 16 non-operating unions
and the carriers, deadlocked in
negotiations, agreed yesterday to
submit remaining issues to a Pres
• idential fact-finding board for a
i final and binding decision.
| The main issue reportedly hold
j ing up settlement of the 10-month
, old dispute is over application of
! the 40-hour work week to the rail
• road industry. Spokesmen for the
j unions and railroads will submit
the disputed issues to the emer

but there was no indication a set
tlement would be reached at the
j initial session. They said several
i points may involve much discus
: sion.
This is the third time the three
• man emergency board has been
i called to study the dispute.
The carriers and unions how
ever, in negotiations since the
board’s clarification, have been
unable to reach an agreement on
the issue.

i ble attack.” I
! Fisher, who visited Alaska last
summer and now is a member of
the House armed services commit
tee, said that from operating bases
at Fairbanks an enemy could
' bomb most of the industrial
heart of America.”
Alaska, he noted, is only 56
miles across the Bering Strait:
from the Soviet Union.
He said the Russians “are thor
ougly familiar with most all of the
airfields and installation in the
Alaska area, because more than
7,000 lend-lease planes were de
livered to Russian fliers at Fair
banks during the war.”
No one in the United States, he (
continued, knows just what the
Russians are building across the!
Bering Strai‘s “but we do have ;
reason to believe there is much ac
tivity in that area.”
Russia’s Eulen Field, he said, is
only 200 miles from Nome, and
the Soviet base of Anadyr, on the ,
Siberian coast, is in the same vi- ■
cintyy.
No American plane has been j
permitted to fly over that Terri
tory since 1944, he added.
He said Alaska needs a compre
hensive system for warning j
against the approach of enemy
planes.
But, he added, it would be a
mistake to depend too greatly on
radar alone, and that troops must
be there to operate the screen and
defenses effectively.
“We can no longer think of
Alaska as a sort of sentry-base,” j
Fisher said. “Alaska is likely to j
be a major base in any future war. ^
There is every reason to believe
that such a war would see planes
and missiles sent back and forth
across the North Pole.
“Let us not be lulled into false
security by legislation such as the
radar bill, nor by reports of tech
nical progress in planes, guided
missiles or other weapons which
may be used in the future battles

Flood Threatens
Montana
(By The Associated Press*
Flood waters left hundreds
homeless in four states today.
A new flood threat developed
in Montana and rising waters
plagued many areas of Nebraska,
still reeling after a winter-long
bout with weather’s elements.
Surging waters from swollen
streams spilled over thousands of
acres of land in Nebraska, Iowa.
Montana and Louisiana. But cold
er weather in many parts of the
midwest checked some of the
overflow.
The Missouri river was gener
ally below flood stage over its
course through eight states from
northern Montana to southern Ill
inois. But many of the big river’s
tributaries were on a mild ram
page.
Minor floods were caused north
of Sidney. Mont., after ice 30 to
40 inches deep blocked the Yel
lowstone River and sent water
over its banks.
Many Nebraska communities
battled the rising waters. At Bea
trice nearly 100 families were
evacuated as the Big Blue River
overflowed. Four of the eight
schools in the city of 11,000 closed.
Other families fled their homes
in Seward and the flood waters
reached within two blocks of the
business district of Crete, a college
town of 3,000.

“These things by themselves do
not win wars.

who must have adequate quarters
for life in the Arctic regions.”
