BATTLES STORMS
IN CALIFORNIA
Howard C. Baltzo is glad to re
turn to the comparative calm of
Juneau’s cold and windy weather
after battling the storms which have
swept California, he said this morn
ing. Baltzo, Assistant Regional Di
rector for the Fish and Wildlife
Service returned here on yesterday
afternoon's Pan American clipper
after a trip to Seattle and San Fran
cisco on Service business.
Winds and Rain
At the San Francisco airport last
week Baltzo said winds were almost
60 miles per hour and the rains
came in a downpour. In the city the
winds blew the rain at a horizontal
angle and Baltzo said one was
drenched in the short time it took
to cross a street. Trees in and
around the city appeared to be on
a permanent horizontal line. At
tempting to get anywhere was a
battle against cold rains and pow
erful winds.
Business completed and deter- \
mined to be in Juneau for the |
Thanksgiving holidays with his
family. Baltzo abandoned all hope
of flying north and took the bus
route from the Bay City to Seattle.
He said that while the major storm
was east of the Sacramento valley
highway route his bus traveled,
winds and rains and cold were bat
tled on the northbound trip. The
road was clear when his bus trav
eled over it but was inundated in
several places 12 hours later. Fields
in the valley were completed cov
ered by water on each side of the
roadway.
Flying Out
Baltzo said he and Clarence
Rhode, F&WS Regional Director, j
had to abandon plans to attend the
annual Salmon Canners Convention
held in Santa Barbara November 17.
They expected to fly in the F&WS
Beechcraft which had taken them
south and when they found an ex
pected clearance for flying was can
celled out it was too late for other
means of transportation.
Rhode and Mrs. Rhode, who ac
companied him south, remained in 1
San Francisco to return in the
Beechcraft to Juneau when they j
are able to get off the field there.
Agency Control
Baltzo said Rhode and he con-;
ferred with Park Service officials at
San Francisco in regard to commer- j
cial fishing and wild life protection
in the Glacier Bay and Katmai Na
tional Monuments. The Park Serv
ice has recently had a limited ap
propriation approved for develop
ment in the two monuments and the
question now arises as to which
agency shall take the responsibility
for fishing, game and trapping in
the areas. Baltzo said the matter
has been referred to the Secretary
of the Interior in Washington for
final determination.
The Assistant Regional Director
said it is planned to send enforce
ment officers from Alaska to Cali
fornia shortly after the first of the
year to aid in game enforcement
for a temporary period, during the
slack season in the winter months
in Alaska. Arrangements for this
move were completed by Baltzo and
Rhode after a meeting with the Wild
Life Management office in Oakland.
It is on a reciprocal basis, enforce-'
ment officers from the California
district being transferred to Alaska
during its busiest season in the
summer months.
Rhode and Baltzo also inspected
surplus aircraft equipment at the
Alameda Navy Base.
Before going to California they
attended the Fisheries Hearings in
Seattle.

of the United Trollers of Alaska j
<CIO) for the first time last eve- 1
ning when the fishermen met in the !
CIO Hall to discuss proposed 1951
season fishing regulations. He ex- j
pressed his gratitude to the union

difficulties as a result of freezing

CIVIL DEFENSE PLANS
FOR EVACUATION ARE
PARTIALLY SHAPED
. Area captains in the local civil
j defense council organization were
| asked at last night’s meeting of
! the council to get their evacuation
plans in as soon as possible to R.
, E. Robertson, director of the local
I council.
j "We don't anticipate an atomic
| bombing but there is the possibilty
j of fire bommbing. Each captain is
, to know his own area for evacua
I lion. A master plan of evacuation is
to be worked out from the cap
i tains' plans for their areas,” said
I Robertson.
“The blue alarm has been with
drawn in the eastern states because
j attack now should be too fast for
' alarm to be sounded. This blue
! alarm was to give 30 minutes warn
j ing in case of attack. The master
evacuation plan is to be coordin
ated with police and fire depart
ments efforts in evacuation,” said
Robertson.
One c .'acuation pl'.n already sub
mitted makes use of the Alaska
Juneau Co., number 3 tunnel.
Robertson asked that one or
two lieutenant’s names for each
area be submitted in case the
area captain is called out o* town.
Henry Harmon, one of the are.
captains, stated that the people
should be informed as to what is
j expected of them in the way of ev
acuation. “This information,” he
said, “should come from the Coun
cil heads.”
I The Red Cross first aid kits
are ready for the area captains
to pick them up according to the
Rev. Willis Booth. “The turn out
for the first aid courses sponsored
by the Red Cross is low. Each
area captain is to make sure there
is a trained person to handle the
kits,” said Tom Dyer, first vice
director of the civil defense coun
cil.
“The picking up of arm bands
and oaths with the return of the
completed oaths is slow. Eighteen
captains have not picked up their
oaths and arm bands,” said C. B.
Holland. “These oaths and arm
bands can be obtained from me at
the Alaska. EKectric Light and
Power Co., office during business
hours.” i
There are 40- captains for the Ju
neau, Douglas, Thane, airport, Fritz
Cove Road, Glacier Highway, Alike
Bay and Douglas Road areas. Thirty
two are for Juneau.
“It is requested that the ev
acuation plans be turned in witbhi
the next or three weeks," said Rob.
ertson.

what industrial purposes the surface
