Theft in a Nudist
Colony . . . Can Be
Most Embarrassing
LONDON UP) — Scotland Yard
sleuths admitted yesterday they
had a delicate investigation on
their hands — a theft in a nu
dist camp.
“Of course,” said a police
spokesman in the understatement
of the year, “we can’t search any
one."
The theft occurred last Saturday
at the Five-Acre-Sun Club at
nearby Bricketwood. Established
30 years ago, the club has over
600 members. Most are profession
al men and women.
A member had four pounds
($11.20) lifted from his pants
pocket in the undressing room.
When police were called in, the
secretary remembered a 30 shill
ing ($4.20) theft two months ago.
Talking to reporters the sec
retary said:
“As this is the second theft, it
seems likely that there is a com
pulsive thief at work.”
Going on this theory, detectives
have set a trap.
“I don’t think it’s likely that
someone would join a club like
this to pilfer,” said the secretary.
“The matter is embarrassing. '
“There have been no arrests,
but possibly the trap will scare
the thief off.”
Asked what sort of trap was
being set the secretary answered:
“I believe money is being plant
ed.”
“How do you plant money on
a nudist?” he was asked.
“In his clothes,” said the sec
retary, “of a member when
he’s sunning himself.”

Loans totalling $290,000 were

000, is a loan to the Alaska Nat
ive Arts and Crafts Association.
The cooperative to which 18 nat
ive villages throughout Alaska
belong was formed as a means for
selling native arts and crafts and
has a clearing house in Juneau.
In addition, a BIA loan of $40,,
000 was approved to permit the
Barrow Cooperative Association

PROTECTION OF MARINE
MAMMALS ON HIGH SEAS
A House Committee has report
ed legislation which would forbid
American nationals from “need
lessly” killing polar bear, sea ot
ter and walrus within or upon the
high seas outside the three-mile
territorial limit of the United
States.
The bill, approved by the Mer
chant Marine and Fisheries Com
mittee, carries a fine provision of
not more than $1,000 or a year
in jail, or both.
At present, the report stated,
the polar bear and walrus have
no protection except insofar as it
may be afforded by the State of
Alaska within its jurisdiction.
The polar bear roams over liter
ally hundreds of thousands of
miles of the territories of Russia,
Canada, Greenland, Norway, and
the United States. There is no
international protection, such as
exists in the more important fish
eries, and there is grave fear that
excessive sport hunting may re
sult in their complete extermin
ation.
As for the walrus, there is some
reason to believe that the un
restricted killing presently prac
ticed may reduce their numbers
to the point where they will be
insufficient in number to pro
vide for the needs of the natives.
As for the sea otter, only the
absolute ban placed upon their
possession has enabled that spe
cies to thrive to the point where
its future is now assured.
