The various decreasing species of wildlife cannot be restored by some simple panacea, An intelli t and thorcughly integrated program, based on quate study, must be carried out to repro- duce something original balance of nature under which wildlife thrived in this country before whi‘e men began to slaughter game, fell forests, plough conf; of tute have not come vigorous restorative action f in the Gabrielson puts even the ticn this country’s 2 warning where to the of our sts Dr success in ‘conquering a T in the THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, FEB. 10, 1941. | of “three concepts * * * considered to form the basis- of the conservatign movement.” These are: “(1) | That soil, water, forest, and wildlife conservation are only parts of one inseparable program; (2) that, wildlife must have an environment suited to ifs needs if it is to survive; and (3) that any use that is made of any living resource must be limited to not more than the annual increase if the essential seed stock is to be continually available.” If the country continues its carelessness about soil, forest, animal and plant life, Dr. Gabrielson | [oresees a future of increasing poverty. The process of conservation will be slow. Coupons cannot be lipped in six months, but the investment will be sound, | Obviously, the question of how much land can| e turned back to forests is complicated by economic social problems. For his suggested solution accuse Dr. Gabrielson of undue par- iality for birds and beasts. He writes, “It could do 10 harm for the future of this country if all of he original forested areas, except the better lands leared for agriculture, could be restored as produc- | ive foests. If that part of the original grasslands ot suited to agriculture also were restored for stock i ng and the production of meat and other ic-animal products became greater than cur- ent needs, the excess acreage could be devoted to the species of wildlife that require little care and comparatively little expenditure of money.” On this asis some choice parcels of urban real estate might be tenanted by bears which, at least, might compli- cate municipal tax problems. The lay reader, however, is likely to find few| { objections to Dr. Gabrielson’s program. As he points | |out, forest areas, properly managed, are far from | unproductive economically. The yield from timber |and furs in many instances would be greater fin- 1nn(;ally than could be derived from the use of poor | land for agriculture. Reckless deforestation has| caused the loss of millions of dollars through floods. The plowing of grasslands on the Great Plains has | led to disastrous dust storms. The pollution ‘"‘fi streams by sewage and industrial waste has_causcd‘! incalculable loss of aquatic life. The wholesale kill- | ing of game by hunters has endangered the exis-| of some species. For the solution of these| Gabrielson suggests remedies which, | may be slow of realization because | lic inertia and the opposition of short-slghwdl and ome might lome; tence aiffi interests. ! tion's soil must be rebuilt. This restoration | will also affect the water supply. Erosion will be! lessened and the danger of flood decreased. Lakes and marshes, unwisely destroyed, should be replaced and properly managed for sane profit from fish | and fur as well as for recreation. “Sustained-yield| forest managment,” which the book urges, would not only preserve fores timber, thus supplying steady work to stable com- munities. These subjects and their inter-relationships are | treated fully in the book, as are also such other| matters as migratory birds and their problems, non-| game birds and mammals, rare and vanishing species of widlife, predator relationships, and wildlife refuges! and their place in conservation. Accomplishment of these objectives presupposes “an alert, intelligent conservation group in every| community,” a great popular understanding of the| ing and need of conservation, and continual| research. Toward the attainment of these objectives Dr. Gabrielson’s book should prove a valuable con- tribution mea Senators Nye and Wheeler are the joint authors | of a resolution introduced in the Senate calling on President Rcosevelt to ask the belligerent nations to | state their war aims and reveal whether they have any “secret” plans to use the war to acquire “terri- | torial spoils.”” We hope that Messrs.

Palmer, heavily bombarded Defense Housing Coordinator, announced the appoint- ment of another $6,500-a-year aide— Harold Pomeroy, as director of a newly-created Registration Division. Palmer’s press release was worth more attention, not for what it said but for what is left unsaid 1t described Pomeroy as “former State Relief Administrator of Cali- (under defeated Republican Governor Merriam) and more re- ntly E itive Director of the eramento Housing Activities.” But ‘at the biographical sketch omit- i was this That from February, 1939, until| ast spring, Pomeroy was Executive Secretary of the Associated Farm- | ars of California, whose strike-break- |ing activities were sensationally ex- | posed by the Senate Civil Liberties | | Committee; also that Pomeroy had been subpoenaed and grilled by this committee. Pomeroy's work will bring him in | touch - with.. another Palmer aide whose appointment caused connip- tion fits within the Administration —Morton Bodfish of the U. 8. Sav- ings and Loan League, who was one of the most effective foes of New Deal housing measures. The Senate Monopoly Committee quizzed Bod- fish at length and he was caustical- ly rebuked by trustbuster Thurman Arnold.

His pay and that of Assistant Co- ordinator Jacob Crane is $9,000. MIRROR LOBBYIST Palmer’s antics are matched by those of the Navy, which named a ‘Washington representative of the, Mirror Manufacturers Association to | direct its $45000,000 housing pro- gram. He is Ivan A. Bickelhaupt, and his job is to rush the erection of 16,850 dwelling units, comparable to a modern city of 67,000 population. The Navy, when asked where they got hold of Bickelhaupt, explained that he was a Reserve officer en- gaged in the building industry for 23 years. But the records show that he did not become a Reserve officer until last year and his building experience was chiefly in heavy construction. Here is his background: Superin- tendent, of steel construction for the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Co.; in Alaska building airplane hangars; Assistant Deputy NRA Administra- tor. Bickelhaupt’s method of directing the Navy's big housing undertaking is to draw rough sketches, place the projects “on order” and pass the buck to local public works officers. Also, the emphasis placed on steel construction by Bickelhaupt and his chief technical assistant, Al Dunlop, a designer of steel dwellings, has caused muttering among small con- tractors. They complain that they are being passed over in favor of heavy con- struction builders who never built homes before. The only previous dwelling experience of one contrac- tor doing a big Maryland job was the erection ‘of an elephant house for a 200. | However, Bickelhaupt does have | this to his credit.. Out of 16,850 units { urgently needed, he at least has built 200 units, while the record of Palmer and the other defense hous- ing agencies is a blank (Copyright, 1941, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) head of a general contracting firm; | is vexing to statesmen as well as faulfinders.
