Kodiak Refuge
Draws Criticism
Washington - (Special)- An ex
ecutive order estaolishing a Kod
iak National Wildlife Refuge for
the protection jf brown bears in
the Uganik district has drawn
criticism from Anthony J. Di
mond, Alaska’s delegate to Con
gress.
The order sets aside 1 969,000
acres of the Uganik part of the
island which will be with Irawn
from entry settlement. Home
steading will be allowed on a
strip a mile wide along the shore
line.
“Setting aside an area for the
protection of brown bears is un
necessary,” Delegate D mond
said. “Bears in recent years have
increased so rapidly that in some
sections they are becoming a
nuisance. It would be better to
leave the island open for settle
ment.”
Tht Pish and Wildlife Service
said the order would set up a
management area for protection
of bears, «nd will be administer
ed under the Alaska Game Com
mission. They said the hunting
of bears would be permitted
in the refuge under regulations
of the commission.

German Troops
Near Oil Fields
JP — German troops are re
ported to have scored a break
through the Crimean peninsula,
site of Russia’s Black sea naval
base at Sebastopol. Other Nazi
columns stormed the gates of
Rostov on the river Don in
what appeared the climactic
phase of the battle of the Uk
raine.
Soviet dispatches said the Red
army engineers are already plant
ing death trap mines at Rostov
and were preparing to leave the
city of half a million a smoking
ruin.
The main German attacking
Column is said to be only ten
miles from the center of the big
Don river port, which guards
the approach to the Caucasus
oil fields.
In Berlin Nazi military com
mentators said once the city falls
the way will be open for a swift
armored division strike south to
ward the nerve center of the oil
region, Maikop, 175 miles below
Rostov.
The Russian paper Pravda
acknowledged “great danger” at
Moscow, the Doneth Basin,
Crimea and Rostov, but declar
ed Hitler’s prediction of victory
before winter had collapsed. The
Pravda said the Nazi command
had thrown almost the entire
German land army, artillery and
tanks, and nine tenths of the air
force into the Russian campaign.
