Alaska Fish, Game
Mgmt. Bill Offered
In Legislature
JUNEAU, iff! — A whopping 32
page bill to cover management
of Alaska’s fish and game re
sources, regulate fisheries and set
up commercial and sports license
schedules was introduced in the
House last Friday. '
The measure called for higher
fees on hunting and fishing
licenses.
But the main purpose of the bill
apparently was to comply with
suggestions of the Interior De
partment about provisions for fish
and game management. It_ would
protect the eight proposed mem
bers of the Fish and Game Board
from remval by the Governor ex
cept for good cause.
Acting Governor Hugh J. Wade,
who had the bill introduced, said
the commissioner would still
serve a five-year term at the
pleasure of the Governor, as pro
vided under the state reorganiza
tion bill.
The bill proposed sharp in
creases in the commercial fishing
license schedule, with even more
drastic revisions upward for non
resident fishermen. The new fees
would not go into effect until the
1960 season.
The increased fees were de
signed in part to make up for the
$333,900 loss expected in fish trap
license revenue.
Under the bill, the resident
hunting license would jump from
$2 to $7 and the combined license
from $4 to $12, for residents. Non
residents would pay $20 for the
combined license.
But when the state’s wildlife
resources are once turned over to
the proposed agency, all federal
fees would be dropped except a
$3 duck tax.
WHALERS BESET BY
'WORST SEASON'S STORMS
_ CAPETOWN, South Africa, UR
— The British whale refinery
ship Balena, arriving from the
Antarctic, reported two crewmen
in the British whaling fleet were
lost in stormy seas.
Some crewmen described this
year’s weather, during the whal

they had ever experienced. They
estimated whalers lost three days
out of every week because of high
winds and heavy seas.
