I Secretary Udall
Says Eskimos Must
Abide by the Law
SEATTLE UP) — The law is the
law. Secretary of the Interior
Stewart L. Udall said Friday, and
even the Eskimos of the Far North
must abide by its provisions.
Udall gave this interpretation
at a news conference when ques
tioned about the continuing battle
between Eskimos and the Fish
and Wildlife Service over shoot
ing ducks in Alaska.
The argument began weeks ago
with Eskimos and FWS agents ex
changing potshots, without injury,
and came to a head when two
Point Barrow natives were ar
rested for shooting migratory
birds out of season.
“It’ is hard to see,” Udall said,
“how we can wink at law viola
tions.”
At the heart of the matter is a
1916 treaty between United States,
Canada and Mexico which forbids
shooting of migratory waterfowl
between March 10 and Sept. 1.,
the traditional spring nesting
period. The treaty has been en
forced more strictly in Alaska re
cently than in the past.
Eskimos along a 1,000-mile front
from Barrow south to Bethel have
been used to hunting the migra
tory birds through the year for
food. They contend the birds have
migrated by Sept. 1 and that en
forcement of the law cuts them
off from a necessary source of
food.
Udall said he was familiar with
the problem and was preparing a
reply to a matter written by
Alaska’s Gov. William A. Egan
in which Egan urged a review of
the situation.
“This is one of the last fron
tiers,” Udall said, “and the people
have lived off the land for a long
time. But we do have laws and
we do have treaties and if they
| (the Eskimos) are to receive
special consideration it will have
to be done by law.”

7 Pet Rats and a Duck
Turn High School
Assembly Into a Uproar
ALAMEDA, Calif. UP — Seven
pet rats and a duck turned Ala
meda High School’s senior as
sembly into an uproar Friday.
Vice Principal James Nell said
the white-and-black rats were re
leased in separate areas of the
auditorium, apparently on a sig
nal from a senior on the stage.
The rats scurried through the
1,600 students, nibbling heels and
toes, and teachers and adminis
trators had to block the asiles to
prevent students from fleeing in j
panic. Snell said two students,
were bitten.
In the midst of the pandemon
ium, someone released a duck
that waddled sedately among the \
milling students.
After order was restored, nine
students — including eight sen
iors due to graduate Thursday —
were suspended. Snell said the
City Board of Education will de
cide if the suspended seniors will
be allowed to graduate.
