Hickel In Lead
As Committeema ;i
High spot interest in the results
of Tuesdays Primary Election cen
ters around Republican National
Committeeman contest after all
other territory-wide issues were
settled. It appears incumbent
Hickel nosed out Labor Commis
sioner Benson in the seesaw bat
tle.
Latest unofficial Associated Press
tabulations from 143 of the terri
tory’s 297 precincts give Hickel
3,595. Benson trails with 3,094.
Benson held the lead from the
time the first returns started com
ing in from his home division in
Southeastern, until Hickel moved
ahead by about 300 early Thurs
day.
More returns from Southeastern
pulled Benson to within 116 voles
of Hickel for a lime.
All the heavily populated pre
cincts are in so Hickel’s lead looks
safe.
PARKER ENROUTE TO JUNEAU
Bob Parker of the Alaska De
partment of Fisheries eturned
from Kitoi Bay Thursday, onroute
to his home dn Juneau.
Roy Richey, Alaska Department
of Fisheries, has been confined to
his home this week because of a
bronchial condition.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
(Continued from page 7)
the Fish and Wildlife Service has
instituted a “Crash Programme”
that will curtail fishing in this
area. They propose to limit the fish
ing to a two day week. The salmon
run lasts for a four week period.
This would in effect give the resi
dent oft Bristol Bay, Alaska eight
days out of the full year in which
to earn his living.
Recently a hearing was held in
Washington, D. C. to decide wheth
er Alaska should have control over
its fisheries. The only argument
the United States Fish and Wild
life service could present against
such s move was that Alaskans
might try to exclude non-resident
fishermen.
It seems that the United States
government not only has the right
but the pledged obligation to pro
tect the residents of this non-self
governing territory and to insure
their full employment by exclud
ing the non-resident fishermen un
til the fish runs warrant their re
turn.
Very Truly Yours

Bristol Bay Fish Producers
Assoc., Inc., Ugashik Dist.
