Wild Game
Decreasing In
Alaska, Says Day
By Charles D. Watkins
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Wild
game in Alaska is falling before
the advance of civilization, says
director Albert M. Day of the fish
and wildlife service.
Day told a house appropriations
subcommittee, in testimony made
public today, that an increase in
the territory’s population, im
provement of its roads and in
creased use of aircraft have com
bined to bring about a decrease
in the numbers of wild game.
The subcommittee was consid

service is a part.
Day said it has been necessary
to declare a closed season on
mountain sheep and that caribou
herds are being depleted in many
sections. *
Ho asked $937,500 for handling
Alaska fisheries and game and
$459,700 for protection of Alaska
seals. The amount for the hand

funds.
Ho said the service wants $75,

MARATHON PRAYER
MEETING COMES TO END
WEATON, 111. (/P)—A marathon
prayer meeting at little Wheaton
College ended today after 38 con
secutive hours.
The revival, begun unexpected
ly Wednesday night during one of
the regular semi-annual week
long evangelistic services, had
swept the campus. Some 1,500 stu
dents and 110 faculty members
at the non-sectarian fundamental
ist Protestant school joined in the
prayer service.
More than 900 were present in
the Piece Memorial chapel when
Dr. V. Raymond Edman, president
of the college, called the public
testimonial to a close.
Classes were to resume at 11
a.m.
Dr. Edman halted the revival to
avoid “sensationalism.” He told
the students that “outsiders might
think the revival had become too
showy.”
Until the end of the 18th cen
tury lighthouses were illuminated
by coal or wood fires set in bra
ziers on top of towers.
east Alaska increased this year
and was much better than for sev
eral seasons.
“We believe,” he testified, “that
it can be maintained in a satis
factory condition if additional
patrol and facilities for research
and observation can be provided.”
Rep. Jackson (D-Wash.) asked
that funds be provided for re
search into the habits of Alaska
herding.

CHICAGO, (A3)—Dannie O’Day
a magician, can make his guinea
pig vanish by simply saying
“abracadabra” or something. It
amazes audiences.
O’Day’s wife was amazed, too,

on his own.
A man from the Animal Wel
fare League recovered the guinea
pig, but he had to take the gas
stove apart to do it.

Congress Must Aid
Mining Industry
WASHINGTON, (A*)—Congress
was called on Wednesday to crack
down on the foes of the mining
industry.
Rep. Baring (D.-Nev.) criticized
in a statement for the Congres
sional Record, a recent adminis
tration recommendation that de
pletion allowances for mining op
erations should be reduced.
It is “plain nonsense,” he said,
to acuse the industry of taking
advantage of loopholes in the tax
laws.
He said:
“The 15-per cent depletion al
lowance was specifically granted
to the rpining industry by law af
ter long study by the ways and
means committee. It is a legiti
mate way for a mining enterprise
to recover its capital since ore is
a wasting asset.”
He said the domestic mining in
dustry, except for the very sub
stantial operators is dying out.
Bills to authorize federal aid
for exploration and development
of promising ore bodies are pig
eonholed in the House rules com
mittee.
Then he saw a straw hat drifting
upstream against the current.
Then he saw it go down again!
Then up again. He thought he was
losing his mind and calling the
farmer’s daughter and, pointing to
the hat, he exclaimed: “Do you
see what I see?”
