rWS DIRECTOR TO
MAKE FIRST HAND
STUDYJN ALASKA
With his arrival in Juneau Thurs
day by Pan American, Dr. Clarence
Cottom, assistant director of the U.
S. Fish and Wildlife Service has
finally achieved a desire of the past j
21 years. Cottom is here to attend j
the annual meetings of the Alaska ;
Game Commission and the FWS
Alaska officials and field agents and
will make a trip to the westward
and interior before returning to his
Washington, D.C., headquarters.
‘‘I can’t tell you how glad I am
that the opportunity has been af
forded me to visit this wonderful
country I have wanted so long to
see, and to be able to learn first
hand the activities and problems of
the Fish and Wildlife Service here,"
Dr. Cottom said shortly after his
arrival.
Waterfowl Expert
Dr. Cottom is the waterfowl ex
pert with the FWS and is chiefly
concerned with waterfowl regula
tions and enforcement and with re
search in both wildlife and fish
eries divisions.
Joining the Fish and Wildlife
Service way back, Dr. Cottom start
ed out as a junior biologist and has
had particular training and back
ground in research of wildlife and
fisheries. He is a Fellow of the
American Ornithologist Union and
is a member of several ornithologi
cal organizations.
Dr. Cottom said he is in Alaska
to see and to learn of its wildlife
activities. He expects to leave the
first of next week for Anchorage
to spend some time with the preda
tor control officers there and plans
to view the Wildlife Management,
activities, particularly on the Kenai
Refuge.
A study will be made by Dr. Cot
tom of the cooperative wildlife serv
ice unit carried on at the University
of Alaska through the Fish and
Wildlife Service by Dr. N. F. Hosley
since last summer. He will also look
over Wildlife Management work in!
the interior areas.
L
Asked for his opinion on the pro
tection of brov/n bear in the Terri
tory, Dr. Cottom said it was his
belief that as Alaska develops
sources of economic return, the bear
will play a big part in the develop
ment of the tourist and big game
hunting trade.
“But that question is ore of the
seveial of which I am here to look
and learn," he replied, with a~ twin
kle.
Among the first persons whom
Dr. Cottom met after his arrival in
Juneau were old friends Frank Du
fresne, former FWS official, Earl
Ohmer of Petersburg, president of
the Alaska Game Commission, and
Dr. N. F. Ho.sley, all three here to
attend the Game Commission meet
ings.
