Ice Bloc Members
Briefed on Fish and
Came Regulations
At the last March meeting of
the Ice Bloc, Commissioner of
Fish and Game Walter Kirkness
gave a resume of pertinent data
and changes in regulations in the
Ice Bloc area.
He stated that in commercial
fisheries there haven’t been any
changes in regulations of any mag
nitude except in Bristol Bay. There
will be processing of fish in the
Norton Sound and Kotzebue.
American Packing sold out their
operations in Bristol Bay to Nel
son Bros., although they will not
have any operation in Kotzebue,
there will be a lot of processing
equipment available there.
Mr. Kirkness stated that they
have an escapement problem with
ti e Noatuk and Kobuk chums as
the fishermen can’t tell them
apart. The economy of the fish
ing industry is changing from a
subsistency economy to a com
mercial economy in the past few
years. Since 1960 in all areas over
650,000 fish have been caught;
previously only 75,000 were caught,
the majority of these being chums.
Management of the fishing has
been changed to a more flexible
program so fishermen are able to
catch more than before. The de
partment has been attempting to
put resident biologists in the Arctic
area. They plan to station Ron
Regner at Nome, who will be re
sponsible for fisheries in the Nor
ton Sound and Kotzebue area. His
duties will include trying to de
velop more winter fisheries and
the sheefish.
A man may be stationed at Bethel
soon also — Mel Morris — who is
presently stationed at Tuluksak.
They are also working on a bot
tom fishing industry in the Bering
Sea, however, they have problems
in this area as it takes consider
able money and they don’t have
up-to-date gear.
Jim Brooks, Director of the Di
vision of Game, gave a resume of
his program and changes proposed
in the Division of Game.
Caribou — The division plans
to legalize the selling, buying or
bartering of caribou meat; at the
present they are doing it quite
openly, however, it is illegal. This
will be in the Arctic slope area.
They do not foresee a conservation
problem as the caribou seem to
be in abundance. Another proposal
involving caribou is to leave the
season open in all areas of the
Yukon River. This has been the
regulation in the Arctic Circle
area in the past years and there
hasn’t been any trouble, even with
the reindeer industry.
Walrus — The present limit on
walrus is they can only take five
cows and this included calves a
year. However, this policy tended
to leave many calves orphaned so
the division plans to amend this
regulation and leave out the calves
in the limitation of five.

Army Warfare
Training Center
Set Up at Ft. Greely
ANCHORAGE M — The U.S.
Army Northern Warfare Training
Center, charged with training
Army units from the Continental
United States in the problems of
combat in the northern latitudes,
will be established April 1 at Ft.
Greely, it was announced yesterday
by Army officials.
The center will operate the year
around, training visiting units in
both summer and winter warfare
techniques.
This will be the first time the
Army has had a formal center for
unit training in northern opera
tions, according to Maj. Gen. Ned
Moore, Commanding General of all
Army forces in Alaska. The U.S.
Army, Alaska, will operate the
center for the entire Army.
The new training center is being
organized around a nucleus of the
U.S. Army Cold Weather and
Mountain School at Ft. Greely,
which will be discontinued the day
the center opens.
Facilities and most of the per
sonnel of the Cold Weather School
will be used for the center.
The Cold Weather and Moun
tain School has trained individual
officers and non-commissioned of
ficers as instructors in Arctic and
subarctic combat techniques, both
winter and summer.
The Northern Warfare Training
Center will handle full military
units, which will go through the
training period as organizations
under their own officers and non
commissioned officers. The train
ing will be planned and directed
by the center staff.
The center was established on
t h e recommendation of Gen.
Moore. Experience of units from
the zone of the interior in winter
maneuvers in Alaska has proven
tiie value of intensive Alaskan
training for Army troops.
“The experience gained by these
men in training in Alaska will
stand them in good stead anywhere
in the wrorld,” Gen. Moore said,
“and we cannot escape the fact that
65 per cent of the Eurasian land
mass has climate quite similar to
that of central Aiaska.”
Establishment of the center at
Ft. Greely will round out the
Army’s special climate training
centers. It already has centers for
jungle warfare and desert warfare.
The Northern Warfare Training
Center, using the using the same
facilities as the Cold Weather and
Mountain School, will have the
capability of handling several
times as many trainees as the
school did because it will be work
ing with units rather than indi
viduals, Gen. Moore said.
Robert E. Lee, Confederate mili
tary leader, never wrote his mem
oirs and, according to a historian,
never read a book about the Civil
War in which he played so notable
a role.

First Negro Selected
For U.S. Space Program
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. W — The first Negro candi
date for future U.S. space pro
grams was among 15 test pilot
trainees whose names were an
nounced Saturday.
He is Air Force Capt. Edward
Dwight Jr., 29, of Kansas City,
Kan.
Dwight, a one-time star athlete
at Ward High School in his home
town, has served in the Air Force
since August 1953. Commissioned
as a pilot at Williams Air Force
Base, Chandler, Ariz., he was a jet
training instructor there for 2Vt>
years. Later he spent nearly two
years as a B-57 pilot in Japan and
then 3V2 years at Travis Air Force
Base, Fairfield, Calif.
The 15 test pilots — 14 Air
Force and 1 Marine—were chosen
to attend the fourth class of the
Aerospace Research Pilots Course.
The Navy soon will name a 16th.
The seven-month course, one of
two given by the Aerospace Re
search Pilots’ School here, will be
gin June 17. After graduation the
16 will be available for assign
ments as pilots, managers or con
sultants on future U.S. manned
space programs.
There were 1,224 railroads oper
ating in the United States at the
turn of the century. Now there are
about 400.

Spanish Paper Accuses
Gen. Clay of an Upside
Down Foreign Aid Policy
MADRID W — The influential
Spanish newspaper ABC Saturday
accused Gen. Lucius Clay of rec
ommending an upside-down for
eign aid policy to President Ken
nedy.
The newspaper was responding
to reports that Clay recommended
heavy cuts in American assistance
to Spain.
“Gen. Clay made the error of
citing as necessary steps a re
duction in aid to precisely those
nations which have received the
least,” it said. “The general has
thus established the strange econ
omic theory that those who got less
in the past should even get less
in the future.”
The retired general’s special
committee studying the foreign aid
program made its report to Presi
dent Kennedy a week ago Satur
day.
Spain and the United States have
a pending renewal of their defense
agreement by which American
forces use four major mases in
Spain in return for U.S. aid.
