Justice Dept. Will j
Not Prosecute
Barrow Eskimos
•f y. - ,
FAIRBANKS W — U.S. Attor
ney Warren Colver said here Wed
nesday the U.S. Department of
Justice has declined prosecution
of the 141 Eskimos from Barrow,
involved in the migratory bird
violations in June.
Colver, here for the opening of
court by the Alaska’s new federal
judge, Raymond Plummer, then
explained the reasons for the De
partment of Justice’s actions.
Colver said on June 1 when the
duck investigation was com
menced here, first assistant UJS.
Attorney, Jerry Shortell made an
official statement in which he
said, “that since this is a viola
tion of an international treaty,
this matter will be studied in
great detail before the U.S. At
torney’s office makes any deci
sion as to what action it will
take.”
“Since that date, this matter
has been under active study by
the various federal agencies in
volved,” Colver said.
“All aspects of the internation
al treaty as it affects the citizens
of Barrow have been studied in
great detail.”
Colver went on to say, “al
though there were definite tech
nical violations, it is our deci
sion in declining to prosecute that
since the problems of the federal
agencies involved, it is our firm
hope that the Eskimo people,
having achieved national recog
nition of their difficulty, will rely
in the future on the legislative
process rather than intentional
violation of federal laws.”
In the meantime Colver stres
sed the United States Attorney’s
office in Alaska and the U.S. De
partment of Justice are “bound
by their oath of office to enforce
prosecution of future violations
of migratory waterfowl treaties
and acts, which will be done.”
$$,000 PURCHASE . . .
(MEMPHIS, Tenn. UP! — When
Helen Kirschner checked her pur
chases after leaving a department
store she was astounded to find
$8,000 in the sack instead of two
tiny batteries she had bought.
Store officials were apologetic
and grateful when she returned
the bundle of cash just as they
were locking up Tuesday night. A
sales clerk had given Mrs. Kir
schner the wrong sack—one con
taining the department’s receipts
for the day.

Redlegs Say the Yankees
Are Not “Supermen”
CINCINNATI, Ohio UP) — “The
Yankees are no supermen. They’re
the same as anybody else. They
can be beaten.”
Bob Purkey, who will pitch for
Cincinnati against the Yankees
on Saturday in the third World
Series game, (the opener at Cin
cinnati), was telling of his re
actions after watching the clubs
split the first two games at Yan
kee Stadium.
“We gained confidence by
winning.” said the 32-year-old
righthander. “It showed us they
were not unbeatable. It also must
have changed the Yenkees’ minds
about us. That we’re not the raga
muffins we’re supposed to be.
“From what I’ve read, nobody
is supposed to beat the Yankees.
I watched them in last year’s
World Series in Pittsburgh. I live
there. So I knew before this series
they could be beaten.”
Cincinnati Manager Fred Hut
chinson, according to plan, held
Purkey out for the gafrne in Cin
cinnati, when he’ll have five days
of rest, counting today’s off day.

Udall Shows Off
Pribilof Island Fur Seals
WASHINGTON Ufi — “You
never thought you’d get in on a
style show, I’m sure, at a cabinet
press conference.”
So spoke Secretary of the In
terior Stewart Udall Thursday as
he opened a news conference and
introduced seven young women
who modeled coats fashioned from
furs obtained from the fur seals
of the Pribilof Islands in Alaska.
The young women, all employes
of the department, included Miss
Arlene Sayre, who is “Miss In
terior,” this year, He home is in
Fostoria, Ohio.
The 1961 fur seal harvest pro
vided 87,091 seal skins, Udall
noted, the largest since 126,826
animals were taken in 1956.
Gross receipts from sale of the
seal products, including meal and
oil tendering carcasses, were $2,
839,862 during the year ended
last June 30.
The State of Alaska gets 70
per cent of the net receipts, after
fur seal processing costs and costs
of administering the islands are
deducted from the gross receipts.
The federal government keeps the
remainder.
Dewey Kirkin, Washington fur
rier who made the coats available,
said they retail generally at from
$1,500 to $4,500 each.
Hoffa Says Teamsters
Are Willing to
Return to the AFL-CIO
NEW YORK \Ji — Teamsters
Union President James Hoffa said
today his 1.7 million-member
union would be willing under
“certain stipulated terms” to re
turn to the AFL-CIO, from which
it was expelled in 1957 on grounds
of corrupption.
Hoffa, addressing a national
convention of Transport Work
ers Union, did not spell out the
terms but commented that a re
turn would provide no benefites
for the Teamsters and would cost
them $4 million a year.
The Teamsters’ willingness to
return, he said, would be “only
for the sake of unity” and a con
certed fight against legislation
harmful to labor.
Hoffa brushed aside mention
of AFL-CIO President George
Meany, who has said he would
oppose return of the Teamsters
as long as they are headed by
Hoffa.
“Meany is just a hired hand—
a puppet,” Hoffa said, “he doesn’t
speak for labor.”
Betty Shamblin. who has been
nursing at the hospital for the
past two years leaves for a short
vacation and will be going home
to West Virginia. She will be
accompanying Hans Petersen, a
patient from the hospital, who
was injured on the MV Galena
and who is being transferred out
side.
