SORT OF A "MAN-BITES-DOG” AFFAIR
Midwest Struck by i
Tornadoes and Storms
i By The Associated Press')
Gusty winds blew in the Great !
Lakes region and the northeast
today after a series of hit-and
run storms in the central section
of the nation.
Tornadoes struck yesterday
and last night in Iowa, Wiscon
son, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio,
but no deaths were reported.
A twister roared through the
downtown district of Bryan, a
town of 7,500 in northwestern
Ohio. It caused damage estimated
at a half million dollars. No ser
ious injuries were reported.
Federal Loan
Approved for
Fairbanks Project
SEATTLE, wn — The Housing
and Home Finance agency re
gional office Thursday announced
approval of federal loan and
grant funds to the city of Fair
banks, for its “central downtown
urban renewal project.”
An allocation of $1,839,219 in
temporary loan funds is being
made available for the clearance
and redevelopment project. The
government is putting up $858,
589 as its share of the develop
ment.
The project calls for clearing
13 acres of “blighted” residential
structures adjacent to the cen
tral downtown area of Fairbanks
and removal of 160 buildings.
“The redevelopment of the
project will bring about addi
tional space for commercial
structures, sound multi - family
residences and a public area that
is very much needed for utilities j
and public 'buildings,” the an- ■
nouncement said. “Eighty fam- I
ilies now living in substandard
homes will be assisted in finding
decent, safe and sanitary hous- j
ing in Fairbanks.”
Longer Season to
Hunt Waterfowl
In Alaska
WASHINGTON, (JP>—A longer
hunting season for waterfowl in
Alaska this year was announced
today by the Interior Depart
ment.
The season for waterfowl, with
certain exceptions, and coots will
begin on Sept. 1 and continue
through Nov. 29 throughout the
territory to afford more equitable
opportunity for Alaska hunters
to harvest these species. The clos
ing date last year was Nov. 22.
The Alaska season for Wil
son’s snipe will be Sept. 1-Oct.
15, inclusive.
The season dates and bag limits
for old-squaw, harlequin, scoter,
eider, and American and red
breasted merganser ducks in
specified areas of Alaska remains
unchanged.
The bag and possession limits
on waterfowl generally and on
coots and Wilson’s snipe in Alas
ka remains unchanged except for
a reduction in the number of
American and red-breasted mer
ganser ducks which may be taken.
The regulations in 1957 will pro
vide a daily bag limit of five and
a possession limit of 10 on these
species which may be in addition
to the prescribed limits on other
ducks.
The department said that the
detailed regulations for the hunt
ing of migratory waterfowl and
coots in the States will not be
issued until late in August.

Canada and U.S.
Will Try to Sail
Northwest Passage
SAN FRANCISCO, UP>—Cana
dian and U.S. ships will team up
again this summer to try to sail
thru what is believed to be a
usable northwest passage for
thin-skinned cargo ships in the
Canadian arctic.
It is part of the 1957 arctic op
erations of the Military Sea
Transportation Service under U.S.
Vice Admiral John M. Will.
This summer’s operations also
include the ferrying of construc
tion materials and supplies to
U.S. defense outposts in the far
north, by 96 vessels.
Starting at Shepherd Bay in
The Northwest Territories, the
icebreakers HMCS Labrador and
the U. S. Coast Guard vessels
Storis, Spar and Bramble will
attempt to forge thru arctic ice
fields to the Atlantic, opening a
route for other MSTS ships.
The route will pass thru the
narrow Bellot Strait, N.W.T., 250
miles north of Shepherd Bay.
Bellot Strait was successfully
traversed by the RCMP supply
vessel St. Roch on its two voy
ages around the continent in
1940-44.
HMCS Labrador also navigated
a deep'water course thru Lancas
ter Sound, Viscount Melville
Sound and Prince of Wales Strait
in 1954. But it was found that
this route can be used only by
icebreakers and on only good ice
conditions.
With the exception of ice
breakers, only shallow-draft ves
sels have so far attempted the
northwest passage.
