Arctic Survey
Shows Increase
Moose, Caribou
Regional Director Clarence
Rhode and Dan Ralston, law en
forcement supervisor o<f the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, re
turned to Juneau recently after
carrying out the third annual j
game survey of the Arctic. They
covered over 8,000 miles in the
FWS Beecheraft, from Demarca
tion Point to Point Hope, north of
the Brooks Range, and from Kot
<* zebue to Fairbanks on the south.
Rhode said all indications were
that the caribou herds were or\ the
increase. He estimated between 14
and 15 per cent of the groups they
saw consisted of yearlings, which
he said, was a good sign. At pres
ent, he said, the caribou are on
the north side of the range, away
from native villages, where -their
only enemies are wolves.
Concerning wolves, Rhode said
they saw them in great numbers.
This, he added, was probably due
to the fact that after three years
of survey they have learned where
they are most likely to be found.
However, he said, the FWS preda
tor control program being carried |
out for protection of the caribou,
is showing results. Shooting the i
wolves from small planes, com
f bined with lethal stations, is pay- i
ing off in the toll of predators
taken. He said the marksmen in
planes were becoming expert at
the job. Where it took several,
shots to get a wolf a short time !
ago, on the last day he and Rol- j
ston were in the area the predator
agent was getting a wolf a shot.
Two females they brought down
had a total of fourteen unborn
pups.
MacArthur Episode
Reduces “Ike’s” Chances
Presidential Nomination
TULSA Okla., (JP)—Some Re
publicans contended the Mac Ar
thur episode has reduced the
chances Gerteral Eisenhower will
get the party’s presidential nom
ination m Chicago ***** year.
The Windy City won the 1932
convention—on a compromise date
of the week of July 7—by on 88
to 11 vote of the GOP National
Committee.
Walter Hallanan, West Vir
ginia committeeman, said Mac
Arthur’s statements have “put Ei
senhower in eclipse” because he
is so closely linked with Defense
Secretary Marshall and other mili
tary men serving the Truman ad
ministration.

Defense Secretary Marshall
Testifies For Seventh Day
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Secretary
Marshall testified today Russia
had made “sizeable increases” in
its military garrisons near Korea
since last December.
He had mentioned this in testi
mony last week but his reference
to December pin-pointed the time
of the budldrup as he had not done
before.

unaer questioning, iviarsn-aju
also insisted that Gen. MacAr
thur’s plan of stepped up air and
sea fighting would not defeat Red
China in Korea.
For the seventh day, the De
fense Secretary was before the
Senate Armed Services and For
eign Relations committees.
MacArthur has testified that
only a few more ground troops
would be needed -in Korea to win
a victory 'there if American bomb
ers were permitted to raid Red
China’s bases in Manchuria, a
naval blockade was clamped on
the China coast and Chinese Na
tionalist troops were used against
the Communists.
In previous testimony, Marshall
had argued this program involved
too big a risk that Russia might
intervene and touch off a global
war.
He had questioned, too, whether
the MacArthur program would
end the war quickly. But Marshall
once said that if he had absolute
certainty the Russians would not
come in he would favor bombing
Chinese bases in Manchuria.
At the outset of today’s hear
ings, Senator Russell warned his
colleagues against any “leaks” of
secret testimony from the closed
door hearings.
He said “We are unlocking sec
rets that have been protected in
steel safes” and declared that
‘'neither our God nor our fellow
citizens will ever forgive us” if
indiscretions add (to the danger
facing American fighting men.”
LONDON, Eng., (JP) — Gladys
Schwartz, 29 and plump, failed to
show up in court today to tell
why she snarled London traffic
yesterday fey ranging end dancing
on a narrow ledge ©even stories
above Piccadilly Circus—London’s
Times Square.
The reason: She was busy snarl
ing subway traffic by strolling
around for half an hour in the
tunnel—from Piccadilly Station to
Leicester Square. They had to
shut off the power until the Bob
bies bagged her. She was charged
with being drunk and disorderly
for today’s escapade. Yesterday’s
charge was just for being drunk.

AP Correspondent Cited
For Courageous Action
Under Fire In Korea
TOKYO, (JP)— A lanky, eager
war correspondent drifted out of
the Korean dusk one night and
asked permission to accompany
an American outfit preparing for
an ^ttack.
The battalion commander tried
to talk him out of it, because it
was April 23, the second night of
the heavy Chinese' offensive on
the western front.
But John Randolph, Associated
Press war correspondent, went
along anyway.
The next day many American
newspapers carried his graphic
account of the fight put up by
Company B, First Battalion of
the U. S. Seventh Infantry Regi
ment.
Today, three weeks later, the
rest of the story came out.
Randolph has been cited for “his
courageous actions under fire on
behalf of my men,” by the bat
talion commander, Lt. Col. Fred
C. Weyand of Healdsburg, Calif.
The Americans were under con
stant fire, Weyand said in a let
ter ito the AP. Several men in the
lead platoon fell in the open.
“With complete disregard for
his own safety Mr. Randolph
moved forward to carry 'these
wounded men to less exposed po
sitions where they could receive
(medical attention. All in all, I
beMeve he made four such trips.”
The ibis always travels in large
flcrcks, each one sometimes con
taining as many as 15,000 birds.
