3. The entire German question
should come up for review by the
lour foreign ministers.
Some foreign diplomats here
said this offer was the first sign
in months that some agreement
might be possible between the East
and the West but they warned
against either hasty optimism or
undue pessimism. One diplomat
said the Soviet statement “holds a
promise” which was worthy of
consideration by the United States,
Britain and France.
•The Soviet statement comes
closer than in any previous over
tures to meeting the West’s de
mand—that the blockade be lifted
first before any four-power talks
can be held on the future of Ger
many as a whole. The offer was
made public only a few hours af
ter the announcement by the West
in Germany that difficulties bar
ring the way to a West German
government had been cleared
away. Russia vehemently opposes
a separate West German Stated
It would appear here, from the
terms of the offe\ that a unified
Berlin currency no longer is a
prime condition for the lifting of
communications restrictions in
Germany’s first city. If this be
true, it represents a step forward
from the point where the four
power discussions broke down last
summer.

‘National Disgrace’
(Contined from Page One)
municipal and military leaders.
He said the growing population
of the Territory is bringing in
creased hunting pressure, both le
gal and illegal.
“Animals and fish are being
taken at an alarming rate,” he de
clared. “Some natives and whites
in remote areas even now are pre
paring for what they call their
‘spring duck season’ in open defi
ance of the law.
“Alaskans are powerless to act.
The federal government has the
authority and responsibility but
year after year neglects this great
national resource.”
Atwood said that because of
insufficient funds, the fish and
wildlife service can employ only
a dozen agents to patrol all of
Alaska.
“Tiny Connecticut has twice
that many and New York State
has two hundred,” he said. “It
would seem reasonable that the
huge profits from the sale of Prib
ilof seals should be devoted to per
petuation of fish and wildlife in
Alaska. Britain long since has
turned her portion of this profit
over to Canada.”
The Illinois visitor said that
wolves are causing widespread de
pletion of game animals.
He said the wildlife service has
only four men for predator con
trol.
“One Eskimo herder near Nome
with whom I talked waited for al
most a year for the harrassed
predator control agent to get
around to protecting the Seward
peninsula reindeer from wolves.
Finally after losing 45 head—
20 of them in one night—he used
the same measures the predator
' agent would have used had he
been there. But although he was
protecting his only means of live
lihood he is faced with a possible
jail sentence for violating federal
law,” Atw’ood declared.
