conduct.” that determines success.

Closing of Spring
Waterfowl Season Brings
A Letter of Appeal
Alfred Mazonna. owner of Ma
j zonna’s Store has appealed to his
friend, James Brooks, Director of
i the State Department of Fish and
Game at Juneau, to whom he has
j written protesting the federal
decision that there be no spring
waterfowl open season.
In his letter he says in part . . .
So, in behalf of all the people
who are always depending on
ducks, not only Wales people, I
wish to stress the urgency of re
considering of this law. And I
humbly hope that these ducks ;
will not again be just looked on
the fly-by, by the thousands, with
mouths watering for them, and j
eyes too for the sake of hungry '
families.
Although I have seen, felt and i
aware of the aid and assistance in ;
too numerous ways to mention, !
the white men have taught |
and given us, of which always
have been appreciated, I always j
think that the Eskimo will never
get to be like a white man in
many ways. We are always proud
to be “the citizens of the United
States of America”, and therefore
always willing to cooperate in
any way.
You know, Jim, these early
ducks are always hunted not for
fresh meat only, but for good
soup, too.
Please be rest assured your as
sistance on clarifications will be
greatly appreciated by all, should
it be brought up for urgent re- |
| eonsiueration. And I certainly hope
! the people, or villages concerned
will bring this matter up.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
Alfred P. Mazonna

U.S. Military Know
Locations of Soviet
Launching Pads
By Bern Price
WASHINGTON UP) — U. S. mili
tary leaders believe they know
the locations of 37 Soviet missile
launching pads, including one less
than 500 miles from Alaska.
And they figure the Russians
have 35 to 50 long-range war
rockets ready to shoot.
At least 10 of the reDort^d mis
sile pads have been identified as
launch sites for the Soviet Un
ion’s 8,000-mile-range T3 missile,
which carries a thermonuclear
warhead.
Further, the United States, has
determined the location of 14 Rus
sian missile and rocket factories.
All of this information appears
in the May issue of Military Re
view, a magazine published by
the U. S. Army Command and
General Staff at Fort Leaven
worth, Kan.
The magazine noted that the
data has been compiled from un
classified sources and added, “be
cause of tight Soviet control over
military information, this data is
derived from sources which are
not necessarily accurate or com
plete.”
In addition to estimating the
Russians have between 35 and 50
long-rang missiles ready to shoot,
the Military Review figures the
Soviet Union is capable of pro
ducing up to 200 strategic mis
siles by the winter of 1961-62.
At latest count, the United
States had an estimated 50 ready
to-shoot missiles, including 32 of
the submarine-launched Polaris
rockets.
In spotting the launching pads,
the magazine noted that all are
located within the Soviet Union
with the exception of one at
Seroc, 20 miles north of Warsaw,
Poland.
Most of the Russian launching
pads appear to be located west
of the Ural Mountains, though
there is a launch site at Anadyr
in Siberia across the Bering Sea
from Alaska.
There is, additionally, a con
centration on the Siberian main
land just to the northwest of
Japan and on the Sakhalin
Islands, due north of Japan.
Judge H. Gilbert left this morn
ing for Anchorage via Fairbanks
to hold court. He expects to be
back early in June. Also leaving
was District Attorney Robert Er
win who is assisting in the Fair
banks area.
Mrs. Bon Davis is leaving for
Fairbanks where she will spend
a few days and attend the com
mencement exercises of the Uni
versity of Alaska where her son
will receive his doctor’s degree in
geophysics.
