committee recommended, and the
board of trustees approved a pro

; opment of the Territory into a mil
itary bulwark, including improved
transportation through construc
, tion of a Puget Sound-Fairbanks

The Alaska committee drew up
1 a program after visiting Congres
sional committees made such a
proposal last summer.
The three top points in the pro
posed program are:
Development of all facilities for
defense and security of Alaska
with all speed possible; expediting
of long range solution to transpor
tation difficulties; research with
an eye to expanded fishing opera
tions.

ordination of air, ship and high

“Alaska constitutes one of the
most important outposts, if not the
most important, of the United
States from the standpoint of na
tional defense.” the committee de
dared.
The committee recommended
that Congress take prompt steps
to “stop all further promotion of
aboriginal rights assertions by the
department of the interior,” be
cause while such claims are pend

pulp mills in Southeastern Alaska.

that steps be taken to enlarge the
Alaska land office and assure that

GEORGE GOSHAW TELLS
I SHISHMAREF BEAR STORY
A note from George Goshaw,
fox farmer of Shishmaref tells of
more bears at Shishmaref.
He states that David Walluk,
i former G.I., killed three polar
bear sixteen miles from Shish
maref. He shot and wounded a
large female at long range, catch
ing up on foot, he killed her with
another shot. Two yearling cubs
I took off and David chased them.
When he overtook them he fired
, ONE shot just as the bears lunged
together and killed then both with
the same bullet.
I This is probably the first time
, on record that two bears have
been killed with one 25/35 bullet.
In addition to all the bears
which have been caught as report
ed in the last Nome Nugget, Mr.
Goshaw tells of Ben Aden of Deer
ing who came down from Cape
Eepenberg where two wolves and
one wolverine were killed by Gid
eon Barr, and Harry Kogrook has
already killed or^e wolf and one

He states that that section is not

In discussing reparations — the
immediate issue upon which the
conference collapsed—Bevin said
that the western powers could not
be expected to commit themselves
without having all the facts on the
Russian zone of occupation.
But, said Bevin, “we are told •
that we could only have this if we
agreed to the Soviet claim for rep
arations in advance.” (Russia has
demanded ten billion dollars with
