Interior Dept. Opposes Bounties
jr \
For Salmon Predators In Alaska
WASHINGTON, Uf\—'The Inter
ior Department told Congress yes
terday it opposes payment of
bounties for control of fish pre
dators such as hair seals and sea
lions in Pacific Coast and Alaska
fisheries.
Asst. Secretary Ross L. Leffler,
in a report on a pending Senate
bill, said the Fish and Wildlife
Service has found that bounties
generally serve more as a means
of harvesting an annual crop of
I
the pest species being bountied,
rather than as an effective mea
sure of control of the predators.
“'Under such a system, predat
ors are taken where the take is
easiest and least expensive, and
not necessarily where their tak
ing does the most good,” he said.
Leffler expressed a preference
for direct control measures—em
ployment of professional hunters
and trappers who concentrate
their efforts in problem areas. He
said such measures are much
more effective and less expensive.
He cited use of such direct con
trol measures by the Alaska De
partment of Fish and Game in
the Copper and Stikine river dis
tricts, where hair seal prey on
salmon runs.
In contrast, he said, the Alas
kan Legislature for many years
authorized bounties on hair seals
without any appreciable benefit
to the salmon or other fishery re
sources.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
It takes the planet Uranus 84
years to revolve round the sun
at a distance of 19 times the
earth’s distance from the sun.
Seen through a telescope it has
the appearance of a tiny blue
green disk on which no markings
are clearly visible.
The planet is 32,000 miles in
diameter and is enveloped in an
extensive atmosphere, in which
methane is present. It rotates once
in 10.8 hours, having its equator
nearly at right angles to the plane
of its orbit.
Five satellites revolve around
Uranus in the plane of its equator
in nearly circular orbits. Their
orbits were presented flatwise to
us in 1945 and will appear edge
wise in 19&6. The fifth satellite
discovered by Kuiper in 1948 is
fainter and nearer the planet than
are the other two.
Today is the vernal equinox
with equal day and night all over
the;earth.
