A generation of political successes

agriculture committee. conceded
early today to Rep. Mike Mon

"There's not much else I can do.”
he told an Associated Press re

Oklahoma election with other pri

At the time that Thomas con
ceded the Oklahoma election, Mon

20,000 votes.
"I want to congratulate Mr. Mon

success in the elections in Novem

the Democratic nomination—in
Louisiana the same thing as elec

JUNEAU'S SALMON
PACK BEHIND '49
Juneau’s salmon pack this year is
still far behind the same period in
1949, it was revealed today by the
Fish and Wildlife Service.
Up to the week ending July 22,
just 9,691 cases—two thirds of them
reds—had been packed, compared
to 14,250 cases last year. The east
ern district’s contribution toward
the pack so far, however, is 2,203
cases, compared with none last
year.
Wrangell and Petersburg are fall
ing flat this year, too. So far
they’ve put up 4,238 cases, com
pared to 7,540 last year at the same
time.
A fair representation of cohoes
is showing up. but kings, chums
and pinks show practically nothing
yet. Total for southeast Alaska is:
For 1950: 18,531 cases, compared
[to 1949's 25,640 cases.
The Copper River and Bristol
t Bay. however, are holding the Ter
ritory-wide pack above last year's,
with the former fishery roaring like
| mad Bristol Bay shut down last
•week, but reports are still coming
l in, and one operation—at Ugashik—
j is still under way and will be until
1 August 3, when the run of reds
i ceases.
The Bay's total this year Is
! 585.764 cases, compared to 556,148
| last year. Expectations are the
| pack will reach 600,000 by the time
, all the counting is done.
Copper Rivbr parked 74.914 cases
' so far, compared to only 48,555 lat#)
year. Cook Inlet is just 10.000
cases above the 1949 pack to date(
with 178.514 reported.
The fisheries division of the ser
vice is keeping a sharp eye on
early indications of what the pinks
are going to do this year, but it’s
a little early to tell anything defi
nitely, according to Frank Hynes,
fisheries supervisor.
Wild Animals Go
Playful as Catnip
Tossed Into Cages
CHICAGO July 26—Cf*i—A bushel
of catnip was tossed into the lion
house at the Brookfield Zoo yes
terday. Minutes later, the animals
had the place jumping.
It was Director Robert Bean’s
idea of throwing in the catnip—just
to see if anything would happen.
The animals—lions, tigers, leop
ards—responded with an assortment
ol capers and catnip-ups that
amazed even Bean. They behaved
like over-grown kittens. And like
cats, they appeared verty fond of
the catnip, the well known, strong
scented herb.
Tommy, a 160-pound Indian leop
ard and regarded as dangerous, ap
peared to be trying to glbble. He
sniffed the herb, rolled on it, and
then staggered around drunkenly
jwith a spray of catnip draped over
one ear.
Three brother lions — Roger,
Colby and Herman — acted very
alley catish. Roger howled; Colby
chased his tail; Herman rolled on
his back, gazed dreamily at the ceil
ing and gurgled.

STATEHOOD BILL
FROM NC OF AM
WASHINGTON, July 26 — <iTi —
The National Congress of Ameri

of the Alaskan statehood bill unless
Congress removes a ban against re
servations for Alaskan natives.
The so-called anti-reservation
clause was inserted by the Senate
Insular Committee.
John Rainer, secretary of the
Indian Congress, said in a state
ment "the tragic experience of the
American Indians leads us to believe
that the natives of Alaska will lose
all their rights if this provision is
not deleted."

President Has
Tooth Missing
WASHINGTON, July 26——It
looked as if President Truman had
a missing tooth today, but not for
long.
One of his upper teeth seemed to
be missing when he made a little
.speech to the Boys Nation, a group
of young men interested in govern
ment. But a little later when he
signed a military aid bill, Mr. Tru
man fished in his pocket and plug
ged up the gap.
The President has been going to
the dentist lately. White House of
ficials said he merely had lost a
crown and has a temporary replace
ment while waiting for a permanent
one.

Rather, he adds, they consist in
