Bartlett Bill Provides
Commercial Exporation
Walrus Hides from Alaska
WASHINGTON — Delegate E.
L. Bartlett last week introduced
a bill in the House relating to
walrus.
Under existing law, walruses
may be taken at any time by na
tives for foof! and clothing for
themselves and by miners or ex
plorers or any other person when
in need of food and other food is
not available. Prohibition exists
against the exporting of skins or
hides from the Territory and only
processed or carved ivory can be
shipped from Alaska.
The bill introduced by Bartlett
in the belief that commercial or
industrial use can be made of
walrus hides to the economic
benefit of the natives, provides
for exportation of skins or hides
under regulations to be drawn up
by the Secretary of the Interior.
The hunting of walruses with
the use of airplanes or helicop
ters would be prohibited and the
taking of any walrus by any per
son other than a native would be
confined to one bull walrus a
year with the meat to be giver
to natives and the hunter to be
accompanied by a native.
Whenever the Secretary of the
Interior determined that such
taking would endanger the food
supply of the natives, such hunt
ing would be forbidden. A walrus
license would be required, the fee
‘ being $25 for non-native residents
of Alaska and $50 for non-resi
dents of the Territory.

covenants secretly arrived at.”

review of world tensions, includ
ing German reunification and
European security, disarmament,
the explosive Middle East situa
tion and the problem of admit
ting Red China to the United
Nations.
One of the British officials who
attended the Soviet embassy
luncheon party, said “a very
happy atmosphere” prevailed.
For luncheon the Russians;
served crab, salmon, caviar, chick

vodka and Russian red wine.
As the wine and vodka flowed,
