Thompson of Washington, D.C., Game Management chief of the Fish and Wildlife Service, re- cently came to Alaska to see wildlife for himself. He really “got an eyeful,” accord- ing to Clarence J. Rhode, Alaska FWS director, who returned yester- day from a trip to the westward with Thompson. The Easterner’s eyes really bulged at the sight of an estimated 1% million cacklers and black brant (divided roughly half-and-half) in the largest single concentration of migratory birds on the North Ameri- can continent. This was at Cold Bay on the Alaska ‘Peninsula. More ‘were ¢om- ing in strong and if the usual pat- tern is followed, another half- million cacklers will be there soon These are the smallest variety of Canadian goose. The count shows more at Cold Bay than were esti- mated in the entire West Coast in- ventory. Now on the flats around bays and lakes, the super-flock soon will move to the tundra, fattening up on eel grass, seeds, Richard Shuman, FWS fisheries management supervisor, and Frank W. Hynes, assistant, also attended the hearings at Anchorage and Cordova. Other Alaska hearings are sched- uled as follows: Ketchikan, Septem- ber 30; Klawock, Wrangell, Peters- burg and Sitka, October 2, 11, 12 and 14, respectively, and Juneau, October 16. " The final one will be held in Se- attle November 6 and 7.

THOMPSON PASS | ROAD CLEARANCE | DUE WEDNESDAY Clean-out work to unblock the Richardson Highway at Mile 16| above Valdez was started yesterday by Alaska Road Commission forces, according to word received today by George M. Tapley, chief of the ARC engineering division. The tunnel at the south approach of Thompson Pass recently was ob- structed by a major slide. Repairs are expected to be com- pleted next Wednesday, and traffic restored to the main highway the same day. Meantime, traffic is using a de- tour on the west side of the Lowe River, Tapley said. Only last week, the ARC received bids for heavy roadwork and tun- nel construction in that area, scheduled for next spring. MRS.

The tender yet tragic romance in which American-born Frances Mercer plays Wife No. 2, is based on an actual conversation overheard during a wartime black- out. Records in England prove that such “incidents” have happened and are still happening in both coun- tries. Highlighted with the humor which American audiences have come to expect in British films, “They Met at Midnight” is not a war story but |a simple tale of the kind of people | Who live next door. English movie- | goers voted it the best picture of the year and awarded Miss Naegle | the Picture-goer Award, the equiva~ | lent of Hollywood's “Oscar.” JUNEAUITES ENJOY TRIP THROUGH ALASKA The trip over Alaska’s highways through the interior and westward areas is highly recommended to anyone who can possibly make it, by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burdick and Miss Bess O'Neil who returned yes- terday via Haines after an extended trip through Alaska by automobile. “One can find no finer trip any- where than a tour through Alaska,” declared Mr. Burdick this morning. Mrs. Burdick and Miss O'Neil en- joyed the past six weeks touring over the highways visiting various points of interest as their fancy dictated. They stopped at Valdez, Anchorage, and Fairbanks, Circle Hot Springs and other hot springs resorts in the interior, On the return trip they were joined in Anchorage by Mr. Burdick who had gone to the westward on business and took leave for a short vacation. From Anchorage the Bur- dicks and Miss O'Neil motored through the Kenai Peninsula and visited Homer. Homebound they returned over the Glenn Highway. The party took many photo- graphs, Burdick said, and on the return trip stopped at various water- ways in Yukon Territory to fish for the famous grayling trout.
