Alaska Big Game
Not So Plentiful,
Says F & W Service
WASHINGTON, UR — Take it
from the Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice—big game is by no means
as plentiful in Alaska as people
have been led to believe.
The service says there is some
big game, however, and other
things grow big, too.
These statements are contained
in a new booklet—“Alaska’s Fish
and Wildlife”—written “to' help
orient the soldier, sportsman,
tourist and homesteader upon ar
rival in Alaska.”
“Giant strawberries, 50 - pound
cabbages, delphiniums 10 feet tall
grow in parts of the country we
bought from the Russians,” the
booklet says.
“Alaska is not the frigid land
of popular concept, though it does
have extremely cold weather.
Average annual snowfall in West
Virginia is more than that of the
Arctic lowlands, and greatest
summer heat in central Alaska is
about on a par with that of New
York City.”
The booklet cites a sobering
thought:
“The temperature fluctuations
give the mosquitoes no trouble.”
And a reassuring one:
“Alaska does not have snakes
of any kind.”
Independence Hall, the cradle
of liberty, needs restoring. Awak
en Americans and help to reno
vate this great shrine.

°pp ose Flying Plan
F orCloudy Weather
WASHINGTON, Iff)—A tentative
government program to restrict
private flying near major airports
in cloudy weather stirred opposi
tion among operators of small air
planes .Tuesday.
At the same time it won strong
support from the airlines and from
operators of semi-commercial or
“executive” airplanes.
The federal government’s Air
Coordinating Committee (ACC),
composed of representatives of de
partments interested in aviation,
presented to the industry last
April a trial plan for special con
trols in the Washington area.
Under the plan, whenever visi
bility was less than five miles, air
planes would have to operate un
der instrument flight tules (IFR)
instead of visually (VFR). This
automatically would ban from the
area planes lacking in radio equip
ment and pilots deficient in the
use of instruments. The present
visibility standard is three miles.
If it succeeded- in a year’s test
period here, the plan would go
into effect in other major critical
airport areas, such as New York,
Chicago', San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
Background of the plan is the
ACC’s concern over some 170 mid
air collisions — and many more
near misses—reported since 1946.
