PAGE 2 ‘ be gee Amchitka bomb may have killed hundreds of sea otters JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska’s commissioner of fish and game says his depart- ment’s preliminary —ob- servations at Amchitka Island indicate from 300 to 800 sea otters may have been killed by the five-megaton Cannikin underground nuclear blast. Wallace H, Noerenberg said Monday a department biologist responsible for studying the Aleutian island discovered “quite a credibility gap” in re- ports on animal kills emanating from the Atomic Energy Com- mission. Biologist Karl Snyder told the Anchorage Daily News that the blast also ‘obviously killed hundreds of birds and probably thousands of fish.” The Atomic Energy Commis- sion said it had found two dead sea olters and several dead fish near Ground Zero following the blast. But Snyder said he found 13 otter carcasses, 12 of the creatures “definitely killed by the blast.” “Following the blast, a sizable block of otters adjacent to the site on each side of the island were missing and not accounted for laterally on the beach or offshore,” Noerenberg sai NEED CAREFUL CHECK “We need to go back and check this pretty carefully, but the otters were living in fixed locations around the island, and Snyder immediately picked up that something was haywire when he went over the site.” Animals on parts of Amchitka Teachers get new names DAWSONCREEK, B.C.

Though only 13 otters actually were found, Noerenberg said his department has been “working with this group of animals more than any other over the state in the last three or four years” and would know if something was amiss, Snyder and Noerenberg told the Anchorage Daily News dur- ing the weekend that a strong southwest wind probably swept most of the carcasses Into the sea, NESTS DESTROYED Snyder said the beach bluff near Ground Zero was “totally unrecognizable,” Four to five eagle nests and at least one per- egrine falcon est were total rubble, he said Low death toll estimates im- 3,900 LB.

He said many birds found “had their legs driven right up into them," and many otters were. found seriously injured. About 250 dead fish were found in the area, he said, and the large potential otter kill and possibly large fish kill could . Mean it will take four to five years before the otter popula- tion recovers. Noerenberg said the Univer- sity of Washington Fisheries Research Institute was con- ducting studies of harm to Amchitka's fish population.

Labor forecasts - difficulties in 1972 The British Columbia Federation of Labour forecasts that 1972 will be a difficult year fer industrial relations. The Executive Council of the 155,000-member: labour oxgnization called on unions in the province to develop a greater degree of co-ordination in their collective bargaining programs. In its report to the annual convention of the Federation, the Executive said: “It is evident that we can expect 1972 to be a difficult year, with many major sets of negotiations coming up, in- cluding the construction in- dustry and the forest industry, We believe that, over the past two years, we have made some Porshnev of the History Institue - co-ordination clear, quatch and in the meantime, I want to find out whether these - prints were made by an animal or whether they are fakes,’ -- Mr. Dahinden said he has spent nearly $20,000 since he started hunting Sasquatch, Tn 1059. “In 1868, I spent 68 days in the bush in back -of Slave Lake looking for Sasquatch, In 1969, I spent. the summer searching forests in northern California and in 1970, I spent 45 days north - of Pitt Lake”, He said lf the Europeans can prove his evidence false, he will accept it. “But if I can establish the possibility or probability of Sas- ratch, I will start looking for a sponsor on a business or fin- . ancial basis to. hunt for ‘the animal.” - + leased today outside the closed - conference, said 25,000. fact “s, sheets and 100,000 folders progress in’ eb-ofdinating bargaining. “At the same time,” it is. evident that, with employers’. organizations strengthening and with no immediate hope of improvement in labour legislation, we must achieve a greater degree of co-ordination if we are to protect our mem- bers’ interests adequately.” The members of the _ Executive said they wanted to mandate from the convention with regard to action they should take in an ‘effort to develop a greater degree of co- ordinated bargaining.
