South Carolina."
He said this was "before and
maybe during the Cuban crisis."
"We have unofficial reports con

don't know they were Red air

they were Red planes from Cuba."
The aide said Thurmond has
noted Defense Department denials

what else we could do" to check

Letter
To I he Editor
Am advised that a Nome-based
biologist lor the State Department
of Fish and Game is seeking infer- j
mation about seals from loeal seal j
hunters. I have eopies of reports
written by biologists of the Alaska
Dept, of Fish and Game. These [
reports arc very derrogatory of j
the native people. 1 advise the seal |
hunters not to cooperate with any j
biologist of the State Dept, of Fish
and Game.
Tile Alaska Dept, of Fish and
Game have many people in their
employ who have no concept of
human values. The State Dept, of
Fish and Game are employing
people as enforcement agents who
are not competent in that they are
not properly schooled in law en
forcement work. The rank and
file enforcement agent of the State
Dept, of Fish and Game are a bunch
of ne'er-do-well tin horns vested
with authority that they abuse.
Predator control is shunned by
the Alaska State Dept, of Fish and
Game. I have personnaly observed
State Dept, of Fish and Game per
sonnel in the Nome office doing
nothing more than killing time in
the office. The biologists could
very well be exerting their ener
gies toward research on develop
ment of fisheries in the Northern
Bering Sea in lieu of making a sci
ence out of making life miserable
for our people.
There is no justification for an
enforcement agent being station
ed at Nome. This is the kind of
stuff that brings about higher
budgets each year.
Last year the state legislature
found it necessary to overhaul the
State Division of Highways, and
look into the operation of the State
Division of Aviation. This year the
state legislature will be faced
with overhauling the Alaska State
Dept, of Fish and Game. If it is
not done, then the legislature will
have been remiss in its duties.

Religious Property Used
For Income Purposes Is
Subject to Taxation
JUNEAU i.r' -Attv. Gen. Georye
Hayes said Thursday the property
of a religious organization used for
the production of income is sub
ject to assessment for school taxes.
In an opinion written for State
Assessor S. Robert Dozier, Hayes
sa id:
“The Constitutional Convention
intended that only so much of the
property used for religious pur
poses as was being used to pro
duce income should be taxable,
that other such parts should be
exempt, and that proration between
taxable and non-taxable parts
should be made.”
Coast Guard Searches for
Geological Survey Crew
JUNEAU UP — A Coast Guard
aircraft from Kodiak Island con
tinued the search today for a six
man geological survey crew re
ported to be working with explo
sives on Chirikof Island, 190 miles
southwest of Kodiak.
The Coast Guard said the air
craft, if it locates the men, will
drop a message block advising the
crew of the extreme sensitivity of
the explosives it is using when
being transported in a special con
tainer.
Radio communications with the
geological survey team have not
been established since Sunday.
