Dr. Gaub’s office in Anchorage
to determine whether they
were suffering from the rat
dog or cat strain of the
disease.
Besides blood specimens
from the above three animals,
samples were obtained from
ground squirrels, weasels,
fox, rabbits, mice and beaver.
The tests on the above sam
ples are now being made in
Anchorage and a full report
of the finding wall be sent to
the Kodiak Health Council.
Dr. Gaub urged residents
of Kodiak to continue their
baiting campaign against rats.
He further urged that control
of dogs and cats be continued
and that a clause regarding
the “rat-proofing” of new
buildings be included in the
city’s building ordinance.
Results of human blood
tests on persons suffering
Weil’s disease will be sent to
Dr. Beach Barrett, who has
been assisting in the labora
tory tests and the local cam
paign to stamp out the disease.
“I have been impressed and
wish to thank the Kodiak
Health and Welfare Council,
the City Council, the Boy
Scouts and everyone whc
helped me in my work,” Dr.
Gaub said Tuesday.
Blood samples from 37 dogs
and 12 cats were made during
the past two w'eeks. Not al
domestic animals tested be
longed to persons suff ering
from Weil’s disease. Two local
residents destroyed their dogs
after laboratory tests on the
pets showed positive.
Dr. Gaub left Tuesday a
board a PNA plane for An
chorage.
Fisherman Sues
FWS Officials
A fisherman from the third
division has filed suit against
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service challenging the au
thority of that body to make
regulations affecting only one
form of commercial fishing
gear.
Fenley Gilles filed the suit
which names Interior Secre
tary Oscar Chapman, Clarence
Rhode, regional FWS director,
and Holger Larsen, FWS
agent, as defendants.
Gilles charges that an FWS
order issued July 16 which re
duced the length of Cook In
lat drift gill nets from 200 to
150 fathoms was an “arbitary
discriminatory act.”
The plaintiff alleges the
order was unlawful because it
applies to only one type of
gear.
Gilles charges that with the
July 16 order in effect, he has
suffered and will continue to
suffer irreparable loss.
The action is expected to
bring a test of the FWS au
thority to handle the drift gill
net fleet which invaded Cook
Inlet in record numbers this
year.
