ASKS PLANES FOR WORK OF GAME WARDEN Employee @rt Bill and1 Anti-Deficiency Bill | Scheduled BULLETIN—The House late this afterncon passed House Bill 19, requiring employers to make detailed reperts as to status of employees in regards to citizen- ship, etc., and also passed House Joint Resolution No. 2, which would prevent Territorial of- fices from incurring any defic- iencies. Votes on the two measures were, ten to six, and thirteen to three, respectively. Only piece of new business to reach the House of Representatives | floor this afternoon prior to a scheduled battle on three powder | loaded measures in third reading, | was a memorial asking the Federal Government to increase wild life edministration monies and give the | Game Commission two airplanes m\ aid in the work, The memorial was introduced by | Representative Dowd, who noted | in his memorial to the Depart-| ment of Agriculture and the Bio- logical Survey that money was available for but 11 wild life agents | in Alaska and its 586,000 square | miles of Territory. | On the calendar in second read- | ing for amendments, House Bill| number 22, enlarging and clnn{_\'-‘ ing the powers of the Alaska Aeru-l nautics Communications Commis- sion, was amended to read that| regulations as to two-way radlo‘ requirements would not apply on| non-passenger carrying planes un-| til six months after enactment of | the bill. | BACKGROUND Irsurgents, pounding away to- ward the remaining Loyalist strongholds along the Medit- erranean in Spain, and the cap- ture of Barcelona, appear nearer than ever to final victory. Al- though Loyalists have shown no sign of giving up the fight, the drive centers attention again on what General Franco will do if he is finally victorious. Here Henry C. Cassidy discusses the possibility that Spain again will have a throne and describes the man who may sit on it. By HENRY C.

Bills 26 and 27, asking for $10- 000 for school construction at Nome and $25000 for the same purpose at Haines, were referred to the Com- mittée on Way and Means for con- sidération with a number of other school construction bills. House Bill No. 28, refunding res- taurant liguor license monies to Shirley George of Sitka, was also passed. Guests Announced For C. of C. Meet E. L. Bartlett, new Secretary of Alaska; Charles E.

PAUL, Feb. 1.—Winter eating habits of foxes are more beneficial than harmful to farmers, said Don- ald M. Hatfield, University of Min- nesota Entomoiogist, after a study of the animals. The university conducted its re- search because sportsmen and game wardens contended that foxes were responsible for a decline in pheas- ant population. The contents of 92 foxes' stom- achs showed that but four to six percent of the bulk was pheasant material. From 56 to 60 percent showed the foxes ate such rodents as mice and rats. born June 20, 1913, who has shown - no traces of the tragic maladies| which have tracked his family.
