In Alaska the Biological Survey means the Al- aska Game Commis: The Territory’s No. 1 and No. 3 resources, fish and furs, thus will be admin- istered by a the new Fish and Wild- life Service.

For more than a year the.Bureau has been without a head. The Administration no doubt was waiting for the change which the new reorgan ion proposal brings about before naming a Commissioner. Now the Commis- sioner (or whatever else he may be called in the new Fish and Wildlife Service) can be appointed. Whether the work of the two branches, fisheries and wildlife, will be completely integrated in Alaska remains to be seen. The proposal now before Con- gress does not go into detail may either be one Fish and Wildlife Service head in Alaska or the two branche: may be administered quite separ- ately from an officc in Washington Three yeirs ago the Brownlow committee pro- posed that Interior be rechristened the Department of Conservation. although Agriculture was to retain its interest in “the conservation and development of puule lands,” The new move makes a little which it to prefix There six montks, in advance, $8.00; | facilitate improve service tol |clearer the distinction between this concern of Agri- \m.'--_«-‘m'a-‘# culture and the Interior Department’s supervision | of public lands, of natural resources in general, and [of fish and other wildlife which cannot be depended | j to stay inside anybody's fence The other proposed changes also have logic in their favor. An assistant secretaryship would be| set up in the Treasury to deal with accounting, debt service and the Treasurer's present duties.

In Agriculture two agencies are to be com-| bined into a single agency, to be known as the Sur- plus Marketing Commission.
