Wildlife Service
Now Reorganized
Announcement was made last
week in Juneau of a reorganization
in the administratiive setup of the
Wildlife section of the Fish and
Wildlife Service.
Regrouping and consolidation of
wildlife management functions has
been in process the past several
months following separation of ad
ministrative direction of the com
mercial fisheries from the game
operations. Management of the
commercial fisheries, including
fishery research, has recently been
reorganized under direction of Ad
ministrator Donald McKernan.
Heading the wildlife section of
the Service in Alaska is Clarerjce
Rhode, who is now listed as Wild
life Administrator instead of Re
goinal Director. Rhode also acts
as Executive Officer or the Alaska
Game Commission.
Service Enforcement Agents are
being reassigned as Game or Fish
ery Management Agents, most of
them remaining in the Wildlife
field. In addition to enforcement
of regulations, these men are as
signed to a variety of jobs includ
ing game census, sealing beaver,
banding waterfowl, hunter b**g
checks, transplanting of game and
fish, and assisting with other wild
life programs, including biological
studies.
Former Enforcement Supervisor
Dan Rolston has been promoted
to the position of Assistant Wild
life Administrator. Assistant Sup
ervisor C. D. Swanson becomes
Chief, Division of Game Manage
ment Predator work is headed by
Maurice Kelly, while Henry Han
sen directs Waterfowl studies. A
Division of Wildlife and Game
Fish Restoration is now headed by
U. C. “Pete” Nelson. Nelson is as
sisted by Biologist Ed Whitesel.
Also in this unit is the Wildlife
Refuge Program headed by Dave
Spencer of Kenai.
“This arrangement brings all
similar functions under one or the
other of these two principal Divi
sions,” Rhode explained, “and we
think it will provide better coordi
nation of effort. We hive an ex
ceptionally capable1 group of field
men,” Rhode asserted.
Details of the new organization
will be discussed with field men at
the annual conference scheduled in
Juneau next Tuesday. A regulatory
session of the Alaska Game Com
mission will be held simultaneous
ly with the field conference, from
February 15 to 22.
Two local representatives of the
Wildlife department, Will Troyer
and “Kim” Clark will attend the
field man’s conference. They left
Friday afternoon, and will be gone
for a week or 10 days.
