"... that government of the people, by the people,

Wallgren Bill
(continued from page 1)
the more clamorous and often
more influential residents of
states who engage in fishing in
Alaska."
Under the provisions for a
fishery board of review “unless
the Secretary of Interior insists
that one or both of the advisory
members be residents, it is in
deed hard to escape the conclus
ion that the bill will be drawn
with the purpose in view of com
pletely excluding residents of
Alaska from any position of
responsibility in the administra
tion of Alaskan fisheries”.
Dimond also said the bill con
tained an objectionable provis
ion that would present a law
permitting the Heizure and for
feiture of fishing boats and gear
without conviction or even a
trial for an alleged violation.
“This should be ended once and
for all," Dimond stated
(See page 7 for letter on same
subject.)
New • York (JP) — Cheerful
but noncommitta about his po
litical future, Wendell Wilkie
came home from his camnaign
tour. He declined to add any
thing to his statement made in
Omaha in which he said he was
withdrawing his cand dacy be
cause “it is obvious I cannot be
nominated”.
At Albany Dewey stuck dili
gently to state duties after in
dicating strongly he would not
be stampeded into a declaration
he wants or will accept the Re
publican nomination. In his first
press conference since Wilkie’s
withdrawal Dewey stood upon
his previous statements that he
“is not a candidate” for nomi
nation.

Washington (IP)—The War
Department turned thumbs
down on the suggestion by Rep.
Magnuson of Washington that
Army planes and personnel be
used to hunt wolves in Alaska to
reduce the danger to reindeer
herds The Army said it is a
fundamental principle t-hat men
and supplies be useful to the
military effort and not be di
verted to less vital activities.
However the Alaska Army com
mand said it was fully aware of
the danger to reindeer herds of
increased wolf packs and had
been granting leaves to soldiers
for the purpose of hunting
wolves
FIGHTING vs LENDING
*• 5fC *
The war is now in that stage we have been warned
was coming.
We must expect greater loss of life than has been
suffered up to this time. However, the loss in
human lives can be greatly reduced and the war
itself shortened if you and I do our part.
