Milifary Game
Wardens Old Stull
To Alaska Command
ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE.
—fSpecial (—Cooperation w ith Fed
eral agencies in t,he conservation of
fish and wild lile may be a new
and unusual duty for stateside Air
Force commanding officers, but to
the military in Alaska it’s an old
story, Lt. Gen. W. E. Kepner, com
mander-in-chief of the Alaska Com
mand, said today.
The General had reference to an
Air Force regulation calling on
commanding officers for a "positive
program of game development and
management.”
The Alaskan Command, encom
passing all Army, Navy and Air
Force in the Territory, has long
had such a program, Gen. Kepner
pointed out.
As far back as 1348, tne term
"military game warden" became J
familiar to hunters and fishermen
of the armed services in Alaska.
Prior to that, provost marshals on
various bases had been charged
with responsibilities of game ward
ens, along with other duties. Their
activities in the fish and wild life
department were necessarily limited.
Military game wardens are non- j
commissioned military officers
whose experience and background
qualify them for the job. They
hold full appointments as enforce
ment agents of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service. Being military
men, however, they are paid only
by the military, according to their
rank.
Being full appointed enforcement
agents, these wardens have jurisdic
tion over civilians as well as mili
tary personnel anyw’here in Alaska.
Stateside hunters and fishermen
Visiting the Alaska Command in
the hopes of bagging a bear or
taking home some good fish stories
are "indoctrinated” too, receiving
a booklet which has just been issued
by the command.
When the hunting season is in
full swing, taxing facilities of thr
Fish and Wildlife Service, the
Alaska Command makes available
eight or nine additional non-com
missioned offieers, who are sworn
in as special deputies. The com
mand provides vehicles, equipment
and rations for these men, main
taining them completely through
out this period ,of duty.

Iranian Oil
Refinery Grinds
lo Final Stop
ABADAN, Iran, July 31—W—A
red-haired Scotsman pushed a but
ton today and halted the last gaso
line producing machine of the
world’s largest refinery—closed in
the bitter oil row between Britain
and Iran.
The Anglo-Iranian Oil Com
pany’s giant plant at Abadan Is
land has been slowing down pro
duction for the past month. To
day it ceased altogether because
no room remained in the acres of
storage tanks to put any more
gasoline, kerosene and other pro
ducts.
More than a month ago the traf
fic of oil tankers wa:; halted by the
nationalization dispute which cen
tered over Iranian seizure of the
AIOC’s vast holdings. Both the
Iranian government and AIOC de
manded payment for oil shipments
and, as a result, the company pulled
out its tankers.
There was little fuss over the
closing of the refineries' last op
erating unit.
Red-haired David Blair Watt,
AIOC distillation units superinten
dent, pushed the electric switch but
ton and the roar of gas flames heat
ing the pipes died away.
The shut-down climaxes the
month-long dispute over ownership
of the billion dollar AIOC which
has choked off a major source of oil
supply for the British Navy and
Western Europe.

fhal's a Little
Too Close, Thanks
SOMEWHERE IN KOREA, July
31, —(/p)— Lt. Robert S. Keeler Is
a firm believer in artillery support
—if it’s not too close.
The tank platoon leader from
State College, Pa., led his steel
monsters into battle recently with
j Allied artillery covering the front
I of the advance. As the tanks drew
i near the barrage, Keeler radioed
the artillery observer:
“Were getting a little too close
to your artllery."
“I can see where it's hitting but
1 ran'l see you," radioed back the
artilleryman. “i'll send over a
round of white phosphorus and
you tell me how far it hits from
you."
The white smoke shell wa.s fired.
Keeler radioed this message:
l “As soon as the smoke clears
away from around the tank, I'll
■ be able to see where it hit.”

Missing Ship's
Radio Report
Discounted
VANCOUVER, B.C., July 31—OB
—There still was no trace today
along the bleak Alaska coast of a
missing Korean airlift plane with
38 aboard. The search for the big
four-engined DC-4 went into its
Uth day.
As rescue planes again took to
the air, a Canadian Pacific Airlines
spokesman discounted a belated re
port yesterday from Whitehorse,
Y.T., that the chartered DC-4 had
sent an additional message in the
early morning hours of July 21.
The last official position check by
the vanished airliner's pilot was off
Cape Spencer. Alaska, about 80 miles
west of Juneau.
Word came from Whitehorse yes
terday that what appeared to be a
later message had b^n picked up
there. Tenth Rescue Squadron head
quarters at Anchorage, Alaska, said
this might indicate the CPA plane
was an hour’s flying time farther
north ’ near Yakutat.
However, the CPA spokesman
here put no credence in the new
theory after talking to the radio
operator at Whitehorse, in Yukon
Territory. He said the operator
could not say definitely what day
he heard the message, which had to
do with arranging meals for persons
aboard the airlift plane. The mes
sage apparently had been beamed
to Anchorage, but was not received
there.
The report from Whitehorse had
caused the search for the missing
plane to shift northward yesterday.
Twenty rescue planes continued
the hunt in poor weather.

Arriving on. the Baranof north

Fourth Man Makes
Roundtrip of
English Channel
DOVER, Eng. July 31, -Ain— A
54-year old Scotsman today is the
fourth man in history to swim the
English Channel in both direc
tions.
Ned Barnie, an Edinburgh
science teacher, made it the hard
way yesterday by swimming from
England to Prance. Tides and
prevailing winds make this 'more
difficult than the France-to-Eng
land swim which Barnie accom
plished last year. The distance is
approximately 21 miles and yes
terday took Barnie 19 hours and
two minutes.
An Englishman and an Egyptian
both made the swim from France
to England Saturday. They wpre
Philip Rising, 41, and Abdel Litif
Abt>u Heif, 22, an Egyptian stu
dent.
Six other men and two women
failed.

day he had filed a first degree
murder charge against Bill Smith,
Jr., in connection with the rape
slaying of Noreen McNicholas here

O’Connell said the charge
asserted he killed Noreen “wil

The charge was filed after
Smith's accuser identified him

McNicholas in Spanaway Park Nov.

Cooper attended beauty school to
gether here at the time Noreen was
