The subcommittee also rec
ommended that additional
ground troops be moved into
the Territory.
In speaking of military con
struction the subcommittee con
tradicts the Office of the Chief
of Engineer’s belief that the
Alaska ports could not support
a construction program in ex
cess of 150 million construction
dollars a year. “This assump
tion is not supported by exist
ing facts,” the subcommittee
said. “Testimony at the hearings
indicated clearly that all of the
ports presently serving the thea
ter could handle considerably
more tonnage than they are
presently handling. With aug
mented personnel and equip
ment they could expand far in
excess of any known require
ments that exist within the
theater.”
Seward and The Railroad
Of Seward, the report said in
part, “The subcommittee does
not believe that the railroad
should abandon any of its pres
ent rail facilities in the imme
diately foreseeable future. This
view is expressed because of
the contemplated abandonment
of that section of the railroad
lying between Portage and the
port of Seward. It is true that
a new highway is being built
into the port of Seward, but
much heavy equipment coming
into Seward will have to be
diverted to other ports. The
only one which has rail facili

ties available is the military
port of Whittier. The abandon
ment of Seward for all types
oi chi 30 will force the opening
of the port of Whittier to non
military cargo. This in itself
is a consideration of grave im
port under present conditions.
Moreover, from the standpoint
of the long-range development
of Alaska, it would appear to be
a mistake to abandon any sec
tion of rail which is contributing
to the growth of the country.
The subcommittee feels that
this is a decision which should
be made only after the most
careful study and then only
after approval of the Congress.”
The Alaska Railroad
“Since The ARR is in itself
operated by the federal govern
ment there would appear to be
no particular saving of money
' * the government transferring
•s operation to the military, nor
is it clear as to how the operat
ing efficiency of the railroad
would be improved by the trans
fer . . . consideration should
be given to some possible reduc
t'on in The ARR tariffs by al
lowing credit for projects to be
operated solely for defense
needs.”

Effective July .1
Ending the annual meeting oi
the AiasKa Game Commission on
February 17, the members had
compacted the joo oi recom
mending changes in next year s
wildinc and game fish regula
tions. After approval by the £>ec-,
retary of the Interior, the new ■
regulations become effective on
July 1. |
“This year’s meeting was the
shortest on record,” Executive |
Officer Clarence Rhode said last
week. “We followed a pretty
tight schedule and were aoie to
wind it up in one week, includ
ing a couple of night sessions, j
Although only one session was
in the form oi a public meeting,
the commissioners examined re
quests and recommendations
from interested persons all over
the Territory and obtained first
hand reports from Fish and
Wildlife Service field personnel
from all stations. One of the
most pressing problems is how
to cope with the rapidly in
creasing military and civilian
population, which is adding con
tinuous pressure on fish and
wildlife resources.”
“To meet this difficulty in the
face ot curtailed tunas and
equipment we are making every
effort to solicit more and more
assistance from the military,”
Rhode said. “General Kepner
has continued and is augmenting
the support given us by General
Twining. lie sent Colonel Don
ald Springer and several of the
military conservation agents
down to meet with us and we are
making plans now which are
sure to help in a joint approach
to conservation problems. A
sizeable force of military men
are being detailed to assist our
patrol operation, and in many
other ways the combined mili
tary forces are giving us a hand.
They agree with us it is a joint
problem and may soon be even
more critical.”
Rhode declared public support
has been very good during the
past year and that more and
more Alaskans are beginning to
| realize it will take united effort
to keep wildlife from being
wiped out in the face of new
highways, airports, increased
use of aircraft and other inroads
| on what were recently isolated
areas. “With a better equipped
staff of wildlife technicians, en
forcement personnel, and & first
class predator control program,
we are gradually catching up
with the job,” Rhode said. Mem
bers of the Commission in addi
to to Chairman Earl Ohmer of
Petersburg, are Andy Simons of
Seward, Forbes Baker of Fair
[ banks, Harry Brown of Kobuk,
and Rhode. Simons was unable
to attend the session due to the
death of his wife a few days be
fore the meeting started. Along
with the Game Commission
meeting, field personnel from all
divisions of the Fish and Wild
! life Service held the annual con
ference which takes place at the
same time.

last six games were consecutive,
making a tired bunch of people
at the end of the event.
On Sunday night, after all
tournament activities, the bowl
ers were entertained by the
Aleutian Gardens management.
A floor show was presented
featuring Seward Night. The
little Johnson sisters, all beau
tiful dancers, performed for the
crowd. Mrs. Kay Johnson pre
sented well received dance
numbers, and Phyllis Baker, the
Seward queen candidate, gave
two songs and one of her side
splitting readings, which are
always good entertainment.
The fifty or more Sewardites
attending the bowling tourna
ment, feel that the city was
well represented, and that “we
held our own” in all fields.
Two high school teams parti
cipated in the tournament, but
their score has not been turned
in as yet. It is understood, how
ever, that they made a credit
able showing.

varied. “On small streams or
piddlers, there is no question
but that the kill of salmon by
bear can be substantial, but this
does not necessarily, mean it
has any sizeable impact on the
total salmon population or even
that it is a factor at all in larger
streams or other areas. It’s like
saying all mallard ducks should
be killed because they contri
bute to crop damage in central
California. Certainly we have
to take a good look at all factors
in a complex picture of this
kind.”
“Admittedly the studies made
by Biologist Shuman are only
in one very small area. We can’t
draw any Territory-wide con
clusions from that and Shuman
never intended we should. We
are now enlarging on these
studies and will soon be in a
position to evaluate it on a
larger scale. We are also con
tinuing tiie bear-cattle study j
and will do everything possible ;
to prevent even minor depreda
tions during this period. The
Commissioners and I, personal
ly, have no intention of trying
to ‘whitewash’ these controvers
ies. Neither do we intend to
remove all protection on com
pletely inadequate data. We are
well aware such a course would
result in a Fishing Industry
Stockmen sponsored bounty on
all bears and their virtual elim
ination from the Island. The
cover and topography of Kodiak
Island is not similar to Admiral
ty or Montague Islands. The
‘control’ these groups speak of
is extermination.”
