AMENDMENTTO GAME LAW NOT APPROVED HERE Chamber of Commerce Pro- tests Against Searches Without Warrants A resolution protesting against amending the Alaska Game Law to empower employees of the Alaska Game Commission to make searches | of persons and various kinds of property without search warrants was passed today by the Chamber of Commerce. Copies of the reso- lution will be sent to Senator Hiram Bingham and Representative Charles F. Curry, chairmen respec- tively of the Senate and House com- mittees on Territeries, Delegate Sutherland and other Alaska cham- bers of Commerce. R. E. Robertson, Chairman of the Legislative, who drafted the resolu- tion, declared that the amendment was unconstitutional in spirit and was inimical to the best interests of all Alaskans.

ACTIVE YEAR IN RADIOINDUSTR NEW YORK, March 27. — The radio industry looks ahead with satisfaction. Reports of improved business con- ditions during Jannary coupled with brighter prospects for the months ahead, have led to the statement that the “effects of last year's ov- erproduction of receivers are al- most past; the era of cut prices, due largely to distress merchandise is about over, and with reduced production, normal manufacturing schedules and distribution soon will be reached.” H. B. Richmond of Cambridge, | Mass., President of the Radio Man- ufacturers Asociation, in a report, said that liquidation of excess pro-. i duction probably will be completed™ in & few weeks instead of a few months, as originally expected. In referring to “industry diffi- culties” last year, he said: * ty-five per cent of the manufact- urers maintained price levels, 35 per cent cut prices and 40 per cent became involved in financial difficulties. This, however, reduced the number of manufacturing units, with production schedules now ap- proaching reasonable prospective demand.” % e Some musielans in the Ozarks put rattlesnake rattles in their vio- | and are willing to back ven- | in the c to the farmer $7,000000 annually. | ———————— o i | Of 800,000 Swedish-born men and |women who live abroad, 650,000 are /in the United States and Canada. | - e SPECIAL FERRY A special ferry will leave Juneau for Douglas Friday evening at 7:30 p. m, for the accommodation of‘ iodd Fellows wishing to visit the !Deouglas Lodge. —adv. i — i | LET Ammquist Fiess yonr Sult We call and deliver.
