Sale of Raw Walrus
Ivory Brings Fine
Sale of raw walrus ivory with
out a permit authorizing the sale
resulted in a fine of $500 and a
60-day jail sentence for a Fair
banks man on his conviction in
court there. The jail sentence and
part of the fine were suspended
on condition of good behavior for
one year. The court also ordered
confiscation of the ivory involved.
The regulation prohibiting pur
chase or sale of raw ivory with
out a permit was written to re
move the incentive for excessive
harvest of walrus for their tusks
alone. Before this regulation was
adopted by the Board of Fish and
Game at its first rule making
session, large numbers of walrus
tusks were sold to tourists at a
fraction of the value the ivory at
tains when fashioned by skilled
Alaskan ivory carvers. The per
mit requirement not only reduced
the incentive for taking far more
walrus than are needed for food
and carving purposes, but also
assured that the ivory would fall
only into the hands of carvers so
that maximum value would be
realized from all tusks taken. This
is expected to have significant ef
fect on the economies of such
villages as Wales, Savoonga, Gam
bell, Shishmaref, Little Diomede,
Barrow, Point Hope and Wain
wright.

Barter Island Residents
Now Able to Buy Fuel Oil
WASHINGTON W — Residents
of Barter Island off the Alaska
Coast will be able to buy fuel oil
from a federal contractor under
arrangements being made by the
Air Force, Sen. E. L. Bartlett
was advised Saturday.
Such purchases from Federal
Electric Corp., which supplies De
fense Early Warning (DEW) sta
tions in Alaska, were stopped by
Air Force directive last May.
Bartlett, who told the Air Force
the cut-off would impose a severe
hardship on residents of the
island, was informed a new di
rective is being prepared. It will
extend the sale policies to all
Dew Line stations where resi
dents have difficulty in getting
fuel oil.
A Bartlett aide said the plan
is for allocation of one 55-gallon
drum of oil for each family each
week at 42Vfc cents a gallon.
Warren Giles Says
Baseball Isn’t Losing Out
In Snorts Popularity
CINCINNATI iff — People who
say baseball is losing out in the
sports popularity competition are
all wrong, National League Pres
ident Warren Giles said Thurs
day in an interview.
“Not in my lifetime do I expect
to see any sport match baseball
in public appeal,” Giles declared,
adding that “with the regrettable
exception of the minor leagues,
interest in baseball is booming
not only in this country, but in
many foreign lands.”
In recent weeks, a number of
critics have asserted that baseball
soon will be replaced by profes
sional football as the national
pasttime.
Replying to the critics, Giles
said:
“When you get right down to
it, it is the game as played on
the field which determines its
popularity. Thanks to baseball's
founding fathers, it just happens
to be the best game ever devised
for public enjoyment.”
The ice cream industry now
boasts its products come in 172
flavors but 52 per cent of us still
say “make mine vanilla.”
Soviet Union Has No
Intention of Negotiating
The German Problem
MOSCOW (JPi — The govern
ment newspaper Izvestia Satur
day night said the Soviet Union
has no intention of negotiating
an agreement for further occu
pation of West Berlin by French,
British and American troops.
“One cannot seriously think,”
said Izvestia, “that the Soviet
Union will sit at a round table
to perpetuate the occupation of
West Berlin by the Americans, the
British and the French.
“Those who count on this
should rub their eyes quickly:
They are deceived by a mirage.”
To Western observers, the article
had an unexpectedly hard ring.
It came only four days after U.S.
Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson
went to the Foreign Ministry —
at the direction of the Western
powers — and began sounding out
Foreign Minister Gromyko on the
possibility of fruitful negotiation
on Berlin.

support the U.N., what good is
it for us?”
He said the United States now
financed 45 per cent of the U.N.
campaign against Katanga. He de
scribed Katanga as “the only
anti-Communist province in the
Congo.”
