Science and FBI Find
Guilty Hunter Who Killed
Moose Out of Season
ANCHORAGE, UR — Police
science has solved the out-of-sea
son killing of a moose more than
a year after the animal was found
shot.
Early last year a Fish and Wild
life Service agent found the dead
moose, with much of the carcass
missing. He probed the remains
until he found a rifle slug in the
animal’s head.
Tests showed the bullet came
from a .32 special Winchester, a
comparatively rare model rifle.
Agents began looking for the
owner, finally traced it to Earl O.
Smith, who lived near Eagle
River.
When Smith denied the killing,
FWS agents sent the bullet to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
for ballistics tests. The FBI re
ported the slug came from Smith’s
rifle.
Confronted by the evidence,
Smith pleaded guilty in U.S. Com
missioner’s Court and was fined
$400 and given a suspended sen
tence of six months in jail.
House Speaker Martin
Says Hawaiian Statehood
Still Possible This Year
WASHINGTON, UR — House
Speaker Joseph W. Martin CR
Mass) said Saturday the enact
ment of Hawaii statehood legisla
tion this year is “still a possibil
ity.”
He told a reporter, however,
there is “no chance for Alaska.”
Martin did not say how the ad
ministration leadership in Con
gress expected to sever Hawaii
statehood from the combined bill
now resting on the Speaker’s
desk.
President Eisenhower twice has
asked Congress to grant statehood
to Hawaii in time for the first
state elections to be held this fall.
He has withheld endorsement of
Alaska statehood, asserting that
certain considerations of national
security made it a separate case.
The Senate has requested a con
ference with the House to adjust
differences between its Hawaii
Alaska bill and the House-passed
Hawaii-only bill. A resolution to
permit the bill to go to confer
ence is pending before the House
Rules Committee.

Former Editor of National
Geographic Magazine To
Visit Alaska This Summer
WASHINGTON, Iff) — Dr. and
Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, veteran
world travelers, are on the move
again.
The 78-year-old board chair
man of the National Geographic
Society and his 75-year-old wife
boarded a train Saturday enroute
to Alaska, one of the few spots in
either hemisphere they have
never visited.
Dr. Grosvenor retired a month
ago as president of the Society
and editor of its magazine, a job
he held for 55 years.
During his service as editor, his
foreign travels averaged 10,000
miles a year—most of them with
Mrs. Grosvenor, whom he married
in 1900 in London.
'The Grosvenors will sail from
Seattle Wednesday aboard the
S.S. Aleutian, arriving in Seward
June 15. They plan to spend con
siderable time in Seward, Anchor
age and Fairbanks and to visit
Mt. McKinley National Park and
the Katmai National Monument
with its Valley of 10,000 Smokes.
“We have been nearly every
where but we never have been to
Alaska, and we have always
wanted to go there. Now, with
that great territory’s increasing
importance both economically and
defensively, Mrs. Grosvenor and
I are delighted that we have op
portunity to see it and to learn
more about it firsthand.”
Dr. Grosvenor is taking along
his cameras and expects to make
hundreds of photographs.
