DEMONSTRATIONS BY
NATIONS OF MILITARY
STRENGTH ON MAY DAY
Military Feeling Is Conspicuous May Day
(By The Associated Press')
UNDATED, May 1—The greatest military demonstra
tion in the history of the Soviet at Moscow, holiday speeches
throughout Germany, bombing in Vienna, rioting in France,
and widespread police precautions against possible disturb
ances in the United States, marked May Day throughout the
world.
In Moscow the government spokesman delivered som
ber warnings of impending war.
Herr Hitler told the workers at Templehof Airdrome,
that although the foreign nations may offer “me whole con
tinents, I would rather be the poorest citizen here.” He
said “in greeting you, I greet Germany of peace, but also of
courage.”
A detective was slain and five others wounded in riot
ing at Bagnolet, France, after communists tried to force
their way into a rightist political meeting.
London and Tokyo had the quietest demonstrations of
any country.
Austria celebrated May Day with amnesties for six
hundred prisoners held on minor political offenses. The
police however, arrested five hundred persons in connection
with a bombing apparently an effort at initiating anti-gov
ernment demonstrations.
New Regulations
Game And Fur
Issued By Bureau
April 1, 1935.
Brown bears, beavers, martens,
mountain sheep, and mountain goats
in Alaska will have increased federal
protection after July 1 when new
1934-35 regulations relating to game
land fur animals, and birds in the
Territory become effective, says the
Biological Survey, U. S. Department
of Agriculture. Amended regula
tions were signed and made pub
lic by Secretary Wallace today.
The new regulations provide two
sanctuaries for brown bears on Ad
miralty Island and reduce the bag
limit on this island from 2 to 1 for
each open season. These provisions,
the Bureau points out, are in keep
ing with the recently announced Ad
miralty Island Bear Management
Plan.
Heavy trapping in recent years,
says the Bureau, has made it nec
essary to close the seasons on beav
ers and martens throughout the
Territory to insure the maintenance
of ample breeding stocks in some
sections. Two new refuge areas for
beavers have also been set up along
the Alaska Railroad, near Grandview
and at Honolulu, and these animals
are similarly protected on Baranof
and Chichagof Islands and in the
Mendenhall Valley near Juneau.
Mountain sheep and mountain goat
under the new regulations enjoy full
protection in a area in the Girdwood
Anchorage-Matanuska drainage. This
protected area, which has been esta
blished to assure maintenance of ad
equate breeding herds of these ani
mals, includes parts of the drainages i
to Crow, Bird, and California Creeks
near Girdwood; the North Fork Ship
Creek, near Anchorage; and Eagle
River near Matanuska.
