Official Defends
Air Force Generals
JUNEAU, UPl—Air Force gener
als violated no game laws in Alas
ka last year when they went on
a hunting trip which has been
called to congressional attention,
a game administrator said Friday.
The defense of the generals
came from Clarence Rhode, wild
life administrator of the Fish and
Wildlife Service, who said he vis
ited the Brooks Mountain hunting
camp at which “about a dozen”
military officers were staying.
His remarks followed disclo
sure that Keith Hart, a former
civilian employe on the Air Force
Arctic Aeromedical Laboratory at
Ladd Air Force Base, Fairbanks,
had written congressmen about
ttoe hunting trip.
Hart said he had resigned his
laboratory job “in protest against
the flagrant disregard for Alaska’s
resources by certain high ranking
officers.”
He named Gen. Nathan Twin
ing, Air Force chief of staff, Gen.
Earle E. Partridge, Gen. James
Doolittle and “others whose iden
tities are unknown to me.”
The Air Force said Friday it
was investigating the matter.
Hart said the hunting trip oc
curred during the national politi
cal conventions last summer
while the officers were meeting
for the announced purpose of
planning the future of the Alas
kan Air Command with the re
organization of the Continental
Air Command.
Instead of using airbases in
Alaska, Hart said in a letter that
went to Chairman Engle of the
House Interior Committee, the
party met at Agak Lake in the
Brooks Range 275 miles north of
Fairbanks. He said he heard offi
cers “tell of Gen. Twining killing
two sheep; the legal limit is one.”
Rhode’s statement said he was
absolutely convinced there were
no game law violations. He said
he visited the camp at Agak Lake,
e country which abounded with
caribou and sheep.
Most of the military personnel
were taking pictures, not hunting,
Rhode said, and everything was
in order.
Gen. Twining, he said, “has
proved himself to be a true sports
man and conservationist, and I
don’t believe he would ever vio
late any game laws.”
In Washington, Gen. Twining
issued a categorical denial that
“He violated any laws pertaining
to the use of government equip
ment or any game laws of the
Territory of Alaska.”
