T VOL. XLVIIL, NO. 7215. HE AILY ALASKA EMPIRE _JUNEAU, / “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1936. MEMB R ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS ALASKA TO HAVE ARMY AVIATION BASE COMMISSIONER Morgan Taken SCORES COUP ON JOURNEY NORTH Sl Beho Lony Saught Sus- pect for Illegal Fish- ing in Lake Bay The G-Men had better look to their laurels or Commissioner Frank T. Bell of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries will capture the law en- forcement honors. The Commissioner, who arrived here last night aboard the Bureau flagship Brant, stepped into the role of enforcement officer for his de- partment on his way north and took into custody Carl Benolkin in Lake Bay, west of Wrangell, charging him with illegal fishing and fishing in closed waters, hail- ed him before the U. S. Commis- sioner in Wrangell where the case was expected to be heard today Real Coup It was a real coup for the Com- missioner as Benolkin has been the object of considerable inquery by the bureau for the last seven or eight years but no violations were found against him. Sailing into Lake Bay on the way up from Se- attle, Mr. Bell saw two fishing boats laying in the bay and some one in an outboard churning about | the water way. It appeared from the Brant that nets had been cast over, so the a skiff and pulled over. He board- ed the vessels and found one load- ed with ice and the other fish, he reported. No one was aboard so he sat and waited for some one to show up. Directly the outboard came alongside. It proved to Benolkin, the offieial said, and he was forthwith taken to Wrangell to answer charges. “Benolkin was getting quite a kidding down at Wrangell,” the Commissioner commented, “for let- ting a greenhorn Fish Commission- er come all the way from Wash- ington to arrest him.” Good Fishing Indicated All reports in the Southeast and those he h: received from the Westward indicate a good fishing season, Mr. Bell reported today. While the long dry spell has caus- ed exitreme low water in most of the streams, he is of the opinion it will not effect fishing this sea- son, but that its effect might be felt two years from now the receding water in the streams may leave much spawn out of water Aboard the Brant with Commis- sioner Bell are Congressman Harlan, of Ohio, Col. Charles March, Chair- as (Continued ohmPage Two) HARLAN DENIES HE HAS NAVAL AIRBASE PLANS “ongressman Here Declares He Was Misquoted in Seattle Interview Declaring statements attributed to himself in a recent Seattle news- paper article to be a “whole cloth lie,” Congressman Byron H. Harlan, of Dayton, Ohio, who arrived here last night aboard the Bureau of Fisheries vessel Brant, this morn- ing issued a flat denial of practi- cally the entire account. The newspaper quoted Congress- man Harlan as saying that the gov- ernment had made plans to estab- lish another Alaska colony, similar to the Matanuska project for the purpose of creating a gigantic Naval air base to be operated by a perma- nent force of 20,000 men; that he carried complete plans for the new colonization project, and that “in addition to airplanes, a large army post and war vessels would be es- tablished in the Territory.” Mr. Harlan said today that he did not make any such statements. Only Government Knows “If T had any complete plan or information regarding a war base in Alaska, I would be the last man in the world to say anything about it,” Congressman Harlan said. “What I did say was that another valley is available for similar de- velopment if Matanuska worked out as they hoped. Another member of Congress inspected that valley last year and I am going there this year to make an inspection based on information be brought back.
