Delegates Stick By Decision to Leave
Wildlife Laws to State Legislature
FAIRBANKS, Uf)—Given an op-<
portunity to change their minds
on one of the most controversial
issues of the Alaska Constitution
al Convention, delegates Monday
stood firmly on their earlier deci
sion to keep out of the constitu
tion any reference to administra
tion of fish and wildlife.
Last week delegates voted 34 to
21 to leave the problem to the leg
islature of the future state. Faced
Monday with Juneau Delegate
George Sundborg’s motion to re
scind that action, the convention
took the same position, this time
by a 35-20 vote.
Almost everybody in Conven
tion Hall was tense and “fired up”
when the issue came up again.
Since last week’s vote, delegates
have been deluged by wires and
communications from fish and
wildlife interests and others urg
ing them to change their minds.
The deleted section, which
touched off the controversy, read:
“Regulation and administration
of the commercial fisheries and of
the wildlife including game fish
shall be delegated to a commis
sion or to separate commissions
under such terms as the legisla
ture shall prescribe.’’
Those who favored deleting the
section argued that an adminis
trative structure should not be
“frozen” into the constitution;
that it is a proper matter for the
legislature; that one field should
not receive preferential treatment
and that the executive depart
ment should not be violated by
creation of a special unit func
tioning outside its sphere.
Proponents of putting a guar
antee of wildlife administration
by commission into the constitu
tion said they feared the legisla
ture might get side-tracked and
not provide for proper adminis
tration and regulation, and that
fish and wildlife was such an im
portant resource it should require
special treatment.
When the issue was reopened
Monday more than half the dele
gates aired their view before a
tense and silent gallery.

Waterfowl Hunters Urged
To Report Takes to
Fish & Wildlife Service
WASHINGTON, UP)—The Fish
and Wildlife Service urges water
fowl hunters who agreed to re
port on their 1955-56 take of
ducks, geese and coots to fill out
their questionnaires and return
them promptly.
The service said Monday some
35,000 hunters accepted its invita
tion to report on their hunting.
It added that upon receipt of
the answers, a good estimate of
the total waterfowl harvest dur
ing the recent season can be
made. This information will then
be correlated with other data for
consideration during preparation
of hunting regulations for the
1956-57 season.

Engineer Takes
All Responsibility
For Train Crash
LOS ANGELES, UP)—The an
guished engineer of a train that
plunged off a 15-mph. curve at
about 70—killing 29 passengers
and injuring about 150 others-*
has told the district attorney:
“The responsibility is solely
mine ... I blacked out ... I did
n’t know we were going that fast.”
The Santa Fe’s two-car diesel
San Diegan tipped off the rails
onto its left side Sunday night, 15
minutes after it had left Union
station for San Diego, 125 miles
south. The 106-ton juggernaut
spilled some victims through win
dows and crushed them as it slid,
roaring and screeching, more than
200 feet.
“I vaguely recall seeing an or
ange grove,” Dist. Atty. Ernest
Roll said he was also told by the
hospitalized engineer, Frank B.
Parrish, 61.
The reference suggested a mir
age because there are no orange
groves in the area but there are
near Parrish’s home in San Ber
nardino.
“The last thing I saw before the
crash,” said Parrish, “was the
Fourth Street bridge”—a struc
ture more than a mile from the
crash scene.
An inquest, with more than 100
witnesses expected to testify, was
set for Feb. 3.
Stunned, white-faced relatives
had identified at the morgue all
but one of the 29 dead, some of
them decapitated or otherwise
dismembered.
Still unidentified was a woman,
5 feet 2, 100 pounds, with gray
blond hair and blue eyes and
with nine $100 bills pinned to her
black slip.
“I feel terrible that all those
persons were killed or hurt,” the
engineer told Dist. Atty. Roll. “It
was my first blood in 37 years of
railroading.”
The engineer suffered possible
knee and chest injuries and was
in shock. He said it was the first
time he ever blacked out.
