Chamber Hears Wildlife Official
From Kodiak west and north
•is the greatest undeveloped area
of bottom fish in the world and
its development will be sure to
■come after the war, Dr. Ira N.
•Gabrielson, of Washington, D.C.
director of the Fish and Wildlife
Service, told members of the
'Chamber of Commerce at the
noon luncheon meeting Thurs
day.
To bring this about, he said,
there will have to be cold stor
age, and plants tor preparing the
fish for market in packaged
•form. ,
Dr Gabrielson arrived here
Thursday morning on the Fish
and Wildlife boat, the Brant, ac
companied by Frank W. Hines,
Alaska regional director of the
.-service, and Jack O’Connor, ex
ecutive officer.
.Asked how local people could
best-aid his department in pre
serving the salmon fisheries, Dr.
* Gabrielson said the best way
vwas Lfor individuals to write to
the Chairman of the Sub-Com
snittee on Interior Appropria
tions at Washington if they felt
(larger appropriations for his ser
vice would bring them direct
benefits. With proper control he
said the fisheries could be main
! tained at peak of production and
he pointed to the depleted east
ern New England coast as an ex
ample of the results of no con
trol.
He said his agency is current
ly handicapped in its work by
limited funds and lack of man
power.
Dr. Gabrielson said he had
seen all parts of North America,
and that Alaska has the greatest
tourist and recreational possibil
ities of any. Tourist trade can be
a big business, he said, if handled
right.
From here the party left early
Friday morning for the Barren
islands, and will continue later
to southeastern Alaska.
The Chamber made arrange
ments for meeting the Congres
sional party expected at Kodiak
next Saturday, or o sending a
delegate to Anchorage to make
representations if the party does
not come here.
Ralph Shupp’s fishing boat
was reported totally destroyed
by fire near Afognak at the end

have started from a stove.

(continued from page 1)
photos indicated 4.1 square miles j
of 6.9 square miles were wiped
out. Japan admitted “disastrous
! ruin” but claimed several bombs
fell.
Guam—Aiimen 70 to 250 miles
away witnessed the atomic
bombing of Nagasaki and de.
scribed it as “too tremendous to
believe.” A3 correspondent Rich
ard Cushing reported the fliers
saw flames & explosions. A plane

The ultimatum delivered from
Potsdam provides:
1. Unconditional surrender!
for the Japanese army.
2. Occupation of Japan at
any points wished, the occupa
tion to end when Japan is dis
armed and has established a
peaceful government.
d. Abolition ot all Japan war
■ industries.
| 4. Japan could have its home
(land and any islands the Allies
decide to grant but no Greater
East Asia.
Washington (.-P)—Highlights
of President Truman’s Friday
radio speech follows:
1. Only surrender will stop
use of the terrible atomic bomb.
He asserted the government did
not lightly undertake production
of the bomb. Secret of the weap
on will remain with the US, Bri
tain & Canada until a means is
found to control it so as to “pro
tect ourselves and the rest of the
world from the danger of total
destruction.”
2. After war, the US will
maintain military bases neces
sary for complete protection of
our interests and of world peace.
3. We will do what we can to
lemake Germany into a decent
nation. Purpose of reparation is
to take out of Germany every
thing with which she can prepare
for another war. Any man who
sees Europe muse realize victory
iu a great war is not something
you win once like a ball game—
victory is something that must
be won and kept. ,
4. “Europe today is hungry.'
Unless we do what we can to
help, we may lose neyct winter
what we won at terrible cost last
spring.”
