Alaska’s Welfare Costs Would Jump
Some $150,000 If Natives are Forbidden
To Take Migratory Waterfowl for Food
JUNEAU Uft — Alaska’s wel
fare costs would jump by some
$150,000 a year if the natives of
Northern and Northwestern Alas
ka are absolutely forbidden to
take migratory wartefowl for food
purposes out of season, Gov. Egan
said yesterday.
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service
agents arrested two Barrow Es
kimos last Saturday for killing
ducks and geese out of season.
Monday night, at a mass meeting
in Barrow, 138 Eskimos brought
eider ducks and signed statements
saying the birds were killed il
legally.
Commenting on the incident at
his news conference Thursday,
Egan said he had been told wel
fare costs in the area would take
a sharp jump if the natives were
deprived of food they had taken
for generations.
The governor said he had writ
ten Secretary of the Interior
Udall asking if the federal gov
ernment could alleviate the situ
ation by permitting Eskimos to
take waterfowl for food purposes
at any time of the year.
The federal migratory water
fowl seasons are based, in part,
on a 1916 treaty between the
United States, Maxico and Great
Britain, acting for Canada.
“It appears to me from reading
the treaty that the Secretary of
the Interior has it within his
power to permit our native pop

illation, which has always taken
ducks and geese for food at any
time of the year, to continue to
do so,” Egan said.
“It appears to me that the treaty
is very flexible and gives the
Secretary of the Interior great
latitude in a matter of this kind.
“These people have the right
to take waterfowl for food. They
have done so for generations and
flocks have not been diminished
because of their activities.
“Common sense and good
judgment should prevail. We
should not deprive these people
I of their very existence.”
Egan said recent FWS enforce
ment of migratory waterfowl reg
ulations in native areas has led
“some people to feel that now
that the state has taken over its
game and fisheries program, the
Fish and Wildlife Service has to
do something to justify its ex
istence in Alaska.”

Campaigning On a
World-Wide Seale
By The Associated Press
As any politician knows, the way
| to win people is to meet people.
Kissing babies and chucking them
; under the chin is not so out
moded as the sophisticates would
have us believe. So President
Kennedy is meeting the people of
Paris.
He isn’t after the votes of
; Frenchmen, of course. But France
under De Gaulle has been a prob
lem to the North Atlantic Alli
ance, especially the United States
and Britain. The tall French
leader has insisted on conducting
atomic tests while his two allies
were trying to talk Russia into
halting them, for instance. And
there’s a long-standing hassle
over French refusal to let NATO
operate U. S. nuclear armed
planes from French soil.
Washington would like very
, much to improve the atmosphere
I in relations with our oldest ally.
And these things are in the back
ground as the U. S. President
makes an effort to win the good
will of Frenchmen — with what
looks to be considerable success.
One of Kennedy’s big assets in
the campaign in Paris is Mrs.
Kennedys. She appears to have
I taken the people by storm.
Everyone knows how Soviet
[ Premier Khrushchev does a job
i on the campaign trail. He’s a good
mixer, a clever clown, a calcu
lating schemer with the people as
I the need arises. He even acts like
a thunderer and earth-shaker
when he thinks that’s the ticket.
Right now Khrushchev is cam
paigning quietly on his way to
Vienna to meet with President
Kennedy.
The theory in the Kennedy
Paris people campaign seems to
be that if the Western nations
are pulled together they need a
j spirit of togetherness. A good
j way to achieve that, the reason
ing presumably goes, is for the
chief executive of one country to
generate enthusiasm among the
people of another country. Of
course, that’s nothing new so far
; as Khrushchev is concerned, even
I if it is something of recent effort
| among our U. S. leaders.
THE WEATHER
Fair—Cloudy tonight with little
i change in temperature. Lowest

In the past 24 hours: highest
temp. 49, lowest 32. Sunrise at

A year ago today: highest temp.
39, lowest 29. Extremes on this

1940, lowest 20 in 1931.

to that he never could bring him
self to do while he was in the
White House.
Sounded Like Harry Truman
Sounding at times like former
President Harry Truman — in re
verse — Eisenhower brought
down the house with a wide
swinging attack on the Kennedy
Administration’s fiscal policies.
As he never did while he was
in the White House, Eisenhower
went wholly partisan and seemed
to be enjoying it as the Republi
can audience rewarded him with
52 applause interruptions. This
was more than he ever got with
a State of the Union address in
eight years.
The former President .appear
ing heavier, tanned and fit, said
Kennedy carries “the hopeful and
' sympathetic goodwill of all loyal
Americans, regardless of party”
i into his foreign policy moves,
especially his forthcoming meet
ing with Soviet Premier Khrush
chev.
“History will judge the wisdom
of his efforts,” Eisenhower said.
“But we cannot allow, today, the
nation’s basic unity of purpose to
be in doubt.”
“Send Bomb for Skunks"
BONNERS FERRY, Idaho UPV—
The Army Corps of Engineers
[ radio operator at flood headquar
ters in Bonners Ferry could hard
ly believe his ears Wednesday. A
message from the Dike District
No. 6 distinctly said: “Send bomb
for skunks.”
It seems that the Sector En
gineer, Roy P. Erickson, and his
crew had run into a family of
skunks living in the dirt dike
I whch protects rich farmland from
: the swollen Kootenai River.
' The animals were interfering
I with movement of equipment and
sandbagging so a gas bomb was
needed to chase the little stinkers
out of their holes.

prove the flavor of instant coffee
if you cover the cup with its sau

British Trawler
Receives Battle Scars
From Danish Frigate
ABERDEEN, Scotland UP* — A
British trawler made it home
Wednesday night from a fishing
war on the high seas with three
gaping shell-holes as battle scars.
The 274-ton Red Crusader ran
from under the guns of a Danish
frigate in the Atlantic Tuesday
after being accused of poaching
inside the Danish Faroe Islands
territorial limits. Her dynamic
Scotch skipper, Ted Wood, stepped
ashore in Aberdeen and exploded:
“These people, the Danes, have
been trying to chase us off the
sea for years. If they had their
way people in Britain would
starve for fish.”
As Wood stomped off to his
home, crewmen told newsmen
why the Red Crusader dashed for
freedom despite the deterrent of
Danish guns.
“We did it for the money,” said
Mate Frank Finnie.
“After the frigate Niels Eb
besen arrested us the skipper
called the crew below. He asked
us if we would make a run for
it, and we agreed.”
Finnie said that if the Danes
had confiscated their catch of
400 boxes of fish, the crew would
have got no wages.
Juvenile puffers: A survey
showed some British parents pack
cigarettes in their children’s
school lunch boxes. A fourth of
2,500 young smokers age 9 to 17
said they did so with full par
ental knowledge.
