Report Good Take
From Pribilofs
WASHINGTON. </Pt—'The fish
and wildlife service says it har
vested 70,891 fur-seal skins on
Alaska’s Pribilof Islands this year.
The total was only 749 more
than last year, but it was a good
season nonetheless, the agency
said.
Other banner years have been
1941. 95,000 skins, and 1943, after
a full year of no hunting, 117,000.
The sealing season began June
10 -and ended July 27. Killing is
■controlled by the fish and wildlife
service, and 20 per cent of the
take of skins goes to Canada, a
partner in the seal hunting regula
tions.
The services said the navy sup
ply vessel Titania is at the Pribil
ofs unloading an annual shipment
of supplies. It soon will load the
furs and by-products of this year’s
kill—about 350 tons of meai, 14,
000 gallons of carcass oil and 33,
000 gallons of blubber oil — and
return to Seattle.
The government estimates the
seal population of the Pribilofs at
about 3.837,000,

proposed move to the Boeing-op
erated plant in Wichita, Kan., of
the sub-assembly work on the B-47
bomber now being done at the
Boeing-owned plant in Seattle.
Since Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg,
air force chief of staff, last week
told the B-36 Senate investigating
committee that Russia is the “one
major military threat to the
United States”—a remark he said
had been cleared with the state

Asked whether the Seattle area
was considered “vulnerable” in

“Take a map and look for your
