And Three Got Away . . .
KETCHIKAN UP\ — Clyde Ward
low and his wife, Suzie, of Ket
chikan went hunting for deer last
week ami bagged four wolves,
they said on their return here
yesterday.
The Wardlows hunted in the
Gedney Pass area near Bell Island.
As Ward low related it, he was
out in a small boat 'Friday when
he saw a pack of wolves swim
ming the channel, a distance he
estimated at one and one-half
miles. He bore down on the ani
mals and managed to shoot three
of them with 30.06 ammunition.
The fourth? He clubbed it to
death with an oar, he said, after
circling it and wearing it out. The
other three sank, so he lost $150
in bounties which would have
been his and settled for a $50
bounty on the animal he clubbed.
He didn’t get a deer.

Nixon Says Khrushchev
Must Choose Between
Berlin and Moscow
DENVER, Colo. <*> — Richard
M. Nixon, 1960 Republican Presi
dential nominee, says Soviet
Premier Khrushchev must ask
himself, before taking any action
which would precipitate war, “am
I willing to trade Berlin for Mos
cow?” ■
In an address to the American
Legion’s 43rd cdnvekition last
night, Nixon predicted there will
be no war over Berlin or other
places “if Khrushchev and the
Communists have to take the ini
tiative” in starting it
Nixon said Khrushchev is mo
tivated entirely by self-interst. He
said the Soviet Premier “knows
the destructive power of the very
weapons he rattles in our faces”
and knows he would face retalia
tory blows.
Nixon called for the United
States to take a firm position
when dealing with the Com
munists over territory.
Shortly after his arrival, Nixon
told newsmen he will announce
in the Los Angeles area within
“10 days or two weeks” whether
he will seek the Republican
nomination for governor of Cali
fornia.

OME HARDWARE
Mushin’
Through
Washington
By Frits Wilti
Associated Press -Special Service
WASHINGTON UR — Alaska
will be pressing for a Fairbanks
stop on a great circle airline route
to the Orient in the second go
round on the matter before the
Civil Aeronautics Board.
“We are trying to encourage
full development of Alaska’s
crossroads role in trans-Pacific
traffic,” Barry Jackson, Fairbanks
City Attorney, said when he was
here recently.
Jackson asked the CAB to al
low intervention in the case by
the state, the Alaska Chamber of
Commerce, Fairbanks and the An
chorage Chambers of Commerce.
These interests, as well as the
state’s congressional delegation,
will support a request, by Pan
American Airlines for a route to
the Orient with a fueling stop
at Fairbanks, he said.
A CAB recommendation that
Pan American be granted a Polar
route with a stop at Fairbanks
was rejected last January by
President Eisenhower along with
some other proposals.
A portion of the case has now
been re-opened by the CAB with
approval of President Kennedy.
The President has the final word
on international air routes.
Jackson said the state interests
will present these arguments:
A trans-Pacific route by way
of Alaska is the shortest to Japan,
it is 30 per cent farther by way
of Hawaii;;
Many passengers would prefer
a short Polar route;
There is sufficient traffic to
justify competition across the
Pacific and competition in itsell
will help develop additional traf
fic;
An opportunity to stop ove:
will encourage more travelers t*
spend time in Alaska, thereby
giving a boost to the state econ
omy.

Projects la Alaska
The bill to provide money for
public works during the current
fiscal year, now before the House,
contains $2,703,000 for various
projects in Alaska, according to
the state congressional delegation.
Included is: Operation and
maintenance of Nome Harbor,
$53,000.

Phil Holdsworih Named
To Attend Hwy. Conference
JUNEAU UR — Natural Re
sources Commissioner Phil Holds
worth was tapped by Gov. Egan
to represent Alaska at the North
American Highway Assn.’s meet
ing Kalispel, Mont., Sept. 14-16.
Egan said the theme of the
conference will be the paving of
the Alaska Highway.
The NAHA is seeking the sig
natures of one million persons
who support the project. Petitions
are being circulated from Mexico
to Alaska.
Department attitude on Alaska
Eskimos shooting ducks and geese
out of season and being arrested
by Fish and Wildlife Service
agents.
Gruening and Sen. E. L. Bart
lett and Rep. Ralph Rivers have
been trying to find a solution that
will allow the Eskimos to take
the birds they need for food.
Shooting of migratory water
fowl is covered by international
treaty. It. has been believed that
exceptions cannot be made for
the Eskimos and that a treaty
change would be needed.
Gruening recently told Stewart
Udall, Secretary of the Interior,
in a letter that since the 19*16
treaty has never been enforced
with regard to Eskimos, “it seems
implicit that it was never intend
ed to be enforced as far as na
tives taking ducks for food.”
Gruening asked Udall to take
another look to see if it were not
possible to interpret the existing
treaty as permitting Eskimo hunt
ing to avoid the more cumber
some and difficult method of nego
tiating treaty revision.
In a reply from Udall, the
Alaskan said he “was happy tc
detect ... a change in attitude
and a consequent willingness t<
consider a solution by way of in
. terpretation of the treaty.”
, Udall wrote he is “personally
hopeful” it will not be necessary
to reopen negotiations for re
vision and that the interpretatior
angle is being explored.

Taking Halibut on U.S.
Side of Treaty Line
SEATTLE — Japanese fish
ermen are taking halibut on the
American side of the Internation
al South Pacific Fisheries Treaty
line, the industry publication
Fishermen’s News reported Mon
day.
The editor, John Wedin, said
this is “a direct violation of the
International North Pacific Fish
eries Treaty.”
Weden said in an editorial that
a Canadian fishing boat skipper,
Capt. John Lind of the Ocean
Queen, observed a large Japenr
ese trawler in the Bering Sea
harvesting 20,000 to 30,000 pounds
of halibut in a single tow. Lind
was quoted as saying there were
eight Japanese draggers in the
area.
The incident took place several
weeks ago, Weden said, in an
area about 50 miles north-north
west of Dutch Harbor, Alaska —
several hundred miles inside the
treaty line.
Under the North Pacific Treaty,
Japan has agreed not to catch
salmon or halibut east of 175
degrees west longitude, a line
passing through Atka Island in
the Aleutians.
