Now Its Polar Bears
In the Pantry . . .
FAIRBANKS — Many houses
at times get mice in the pantry,
but how about polar bears?
From Arliss II, the Arctic Re
search Laboratory’s floating ice
island, 1,100 miles northwest of
Point Barrow in the North Arctic
Ocean comes the story of the polar
bear that recently tried to raid
the camp galley’s store room.
Carl Johnston, cook on the ice
island, reports that a polar bear
has been spotted hanging around
camp recently. On following its
tracks it was revealed that the
white bear had climbed a snow
bank to the storeroom roof, and
there had broken through the roof
attempting to get at the camp
food.
This is the second time in a year
that a polar bear has come in off
the pack ice, attempting to mooch
a free meal.
The last time Johnston caught
a bear sticking its head through
a galley window, he chased it
away by throwing a quart can of
fruit juice at the head. He missed,
but the bear left.

Cost-of-Living Allowance
For Federal Workers Will
Greet Congress Next Week
WASHINGTON UP) — A Civil
Service Commission official said
yesterday its proposal to eliminate
cost-of-living allowances in Ha
waii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands may not reach Con
gress for another week.
The commission announced 10
days ago it would request legisla
tion to substitute advanced pay
procedures under the Salary Re
form Act for the special cost-of
living allowances for federal work
ers in the offshore domestic areas.
The Reform Act carries provi
sions for advanced salary ranges
where pay rates in private busi
ness are substantially above the
federal pay scale.
Federal Civil Service workers
in Alaska now receiving a flat 25
per cent cost-of-living allowance,
15 per cent in Hawaii and the
Virgin Islands and 12.5 per cent
in Puerto Rico.

Canada's Fisheries
Members are Concerned
VANCOUVER, B.C. UP> — A
Canadian member of the Interna
tional North Pacific Fisheries Com
mission says he and his associates
are concerned over Canada’s fail
ure to accept the commission’s
recommendation to let Japanese
fish in certain areas along the
coast.
“Wc would be dishonest if we
did not accept the recommenda
tion of our scientists and others
about this matter,” Roger Hager
said Monday. “We are only carry
ing out implementation of the
treaty.”
The commission recommended
that the Japanese be allowed to
fish for halibut in the eastern
Bering Sea and for herring off the
Queen Charlotte Islands. Two of
the three nations represented on
the commission, the United States
and Japan, have agreed to the
change.
The third nation is Canada, and
Prime Minister John Diefenbaker
said last week his government
won’t act “until there has been
a full investigation to assure fish
ermen full protection.”
Hager said Monday, “these stocks
in particular do not qualify for
exemption from Japanese fishing.”
He declined to say if the Cana
dians on the commission planned
a formal protest.

George Cooper
Will Resign as GOP
Party Chairman
SEATTLE IP — Business rea
sons are forcing his resignation
as Republican party chairman in
Alaska, George Cooper, Fairbanks
businessman, said here yesterday.
He expects to continue his resi
dence in the state.
Cooper, disclosing his plans, said
he had sent a letter to the party’s
Central Committee in Alaska. He
has also called a special meeting of
the Central Committee on April
18-19 to present his formal resig
nation.
“I will have to do a great deal
of traveling and will not be on
hand to conduct the business of
the party in Alaska as a chairman
should,” he said.
“It is a time-consuming job
and needs a chairman’s immediate
attention to continue the growth
and gains made in the last few
months.”
The sale of some of his business
interests is pending but they do
not include his fuel distributorship,
Cooper said.
‘‘My residency is established in
Alaska and will remain there,”
he said. “But I will be absent from
time to time due to the nature of
a business I have started in
Seattle.”
He explained that it involves
the purchase of certain patent
rights and further research and
development “to get interested
users in industry and other fields.”
He expects to return to Fairbanks
in about 10 days.
