Bird Hunting Bag Limits,
Announced by Interior
WASHINGTON, UP* — Bag limit
revisions and season adjustments
in some areas were announced by
the Interior Department yesterday
for bird hunting in some areas.
Principal changes included:
A reduction in the daily bag and
possession limits on brant in Alas
ka because of a significant decline
in brant in the Pacific flyway.
Waterfowl, coots and Wilson’s
snipe in Alaska — the season, bag
and possession limits for Wilson’s
snipe in Alaska will remain the
same as in 1958. The season will be
from Sept. 1 through Oct. 15.
Waterfowl and coot seasons in
Alaska will run from September
1 to December 3, with the bag and
possession limits remaining the
same as in 1958, except in the
case of brant.
Because there has been a signif
icant decline in the brant popula
tion in the Pacific flyway, the
hunting of brant in Alaska during
the 1959 season will coincide with
the waterfowl season but the bag
limit will be two instead of three,
'and the possession limit two in
stead of six.

I Seasonal Rise Pushes
Jobs to Record High
WASHINGTON,' UP) — Employ
ment surged to a record high of
67.342.000 in June. A gain of 1,
326.000 was built on strong fac
tory hiring and seasonal rises in
farming and construction.
The Labor Department reported
that unemployment rose simul
taneously by 593,000 as two million
students and new graduates
flooded the job market.
The number out of work totaled
3.982.000 for the month.
As a result, unemployment re
mained at 4.9 per cent of the civi
lian labor force, after allowing
for seasonal fluctuations.
But the' steep climb in employ
ment — a gain of 4,600,000 since
February — has seldom been
matched in history. It attested to
the force of the business recovery,
department officials said.
Factory workers’ average week
ly earnings also reached a record
at $90.54. The workweek length
ened to 40 hours and 36 minutes
on the average, a longer work
week than in any June since 1955.
Dr. Seymour Wolfbein, deputy
assistant Secretary of Labor, noted
that the increase in joblessness
in June was concentrated among
young people of 14 to 24 years —
mainly those released from schools
and colleges.

Airport Aid Funds
For Alaska Will be
Supplemented
WASHINGTON, UP) — A Senate
Commerce subcommittee yester
day approved a compromise propo
sal for governing Alaska’s share of
federal airport money.
It would treat Alaska as a ter
ritory in distribution of the reg
ular funds for airport improve
ment but make additional money
available to the 49th state from
what is known as the “discre
tionary fund.” This fund is used
for projects needed for the sake
of safety, regardless of alloca
tions from the regular airport im
provement money.
Under territorial treatment.
Alaska would get a smaller share
of the regular funds.
The full Senate Commerce. Com
mittee is scheduled'to consider the
proposal tomorrow. The compro
mise was suggested by the Admin
istration as a substitute for an
amendment introduced by Sena
tors Bartlett and Gruening.
Their amendment would have
raised Alaska’s share to a propor
tionate basis with the other states.
It was opposed by the Adminis
tration because it would have re
quired a larger appropriation.
Under the compromise amend
ment, Alaska will receive $1,350,
000 annually and be eligible to
share in the 15 million dollar dis
cretionary fund.
James T. Pyle, deputy adminis
trator of the Federal Aviation
Agency, pointed out that under the
substitute, Alaska would have to
match only one-fourth of the fed
eral funds rather than about one
third if the state were treated
equally with the other 48.
Bartlett and Gruening reluct
antly accepted the substitute be
cause, they said, it is the best ar
rangement possible at this time.
