ITILI FAIRBANKS by KENT BRANDLEY TWO ESKIMO HUNTERS from Anaktuvuk Pass are in Fairbanks today stocking up on supplies. Jack Ahgook and Thomas Rutland say a huge herd of caribou is near the village now. Ahgook estimates the herd at about 75,000 animals. He shot a bull from his front doorway two daysago. HOUSES IN their village of about 100 people are made of sod.

Two school teachers and a missionary woman are the only whites there. Prior to 1960, when a school was built, there was no possibility for village men to earn a steady income. For years, people there have lived almost exclusively on a meat diet. But scheduled aircraft service and the school have changed that. The people's dependence on the caribou, and possibly their sense of humor, is graphically evident in the name Anaktuvuk itself.

Tuvuk describes the terrain and anak is what the animal drops behind. ANAKTUVUK ESKIMOS don't waste caribou meat. They have a unique deep freeze. They dug 16-feet down into the tundra into permanently frozen ground. Each family has a section of this covered tunnel as a private larder.

AHGOOK, who is so soft-spoken he can hardly be heard, says his father Jesse Ahgook, at least 86, is the oldest man in the village. A few years ago, an officer with the Air Force Arctic Aero-Medical Laboratory visited Anaktuvuk and became friendly with its people. They liked him. The lab wanted Jesse's heart when he died in order to study it to compare it to a whiteman's heart. Jesse had sustained himself his entire life almost solely on meat.

He has always lived under rigorous conditions enjoying the clean Arctic air. JESSE IS still alive today but the younger man who tried to make the arrangements to study the old Eskimo's heart died not long ago-xf a heart attack. DOG TEAMS still outnumber snowmobiles at Anaktuvuk but the dogless carriages are gaining. Thomas is carrying back a snowmobile owner's manual. Both men will return with spare parts for their machines.

BUT THOMAS says his wife still prefers the dog team. "It don't down anywhere," she tells him. WAC Prepares for Battle WHILE WE'RE talking about hunters, let the moose beware. Spec. 5 Marge DeGrave, a WAC assigned to the Strategic Commuications Command (signal unit) at Ft.

Wainwright, has a freezer installed in her room. She's prepared. WHEN THE SEASON opens in August, the Iron Mountain, girl will go after her first moose. She's already been scouting the ground out around Nenana. Marge can probably outshoot many of the men on post.

Back in Northern Michigan she got a deer every year she went out. In 1966 she bagged a 210-pound buck. "It started out as an extra large type joke," she says. But now she's serious. Freezer and all.

Fairbanks Daily Newj-Miner, Tuesday, February 27, 1968--7 Sydney Chapman Building Rite 2:30 P.M. Tomorrow Clifford R. Hartman, state commissioner of education, tomorrow will participate in ceremonies honoring Dr. Sydney Chapman of the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute. Hartman will read a message from Gov.

Walter J. Hickel at the dedication of the building housing the institute as the Sydney Chapman Building. The dedication, open to the public, will begin at 2:30 p.m. outside the entrance to the institute on the of A campus. Chapman, a world renowned geophysicist, has been professor of geophysics and advisory scientific director of the institure since 1951.

He was 80 last month. The building dedication is in honor of this birthday. He now divides his time between the campus and the National Center of Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. Others who will take part in the dedication ceremony include Prof. William Cashen, marshal of the university who was present at the cornerstone laying of the institute in the late 1940s; Dr.

Kenneth M. Rae, vice president for research and advanced studies; Dr. William R. Wood, president; William O'Neill of Anchorage, vice president of the university's board of regents and Chapman. After the ceremony, a seminar, also open to the public, will be held at 3:15 p.m.

in Schaible Hall. Topic will be the aurora and the earth's magnetic field. Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu, a close associate of Chapman at the institute will conduct a seminar. Keith Mather, director of the institute, will preside and also show a film by the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA).

John 0. Reed, chairman of the instituted advisory committee and chairman of the Arctic Institute of North America, will present a book entitled, "Sydney Chapman, 80," to Chapman.

(Continued From Page 1) CURTBOONE close call Boone Back Briefly CURT BOONE, A-67's charter president and president of the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce in 1964, is back in town this week at his old stomping grounds-Safeway. CURT WAS Safeway manager here between 1962 and 1965 when he was promoted to "methods improvement coordinator" for Safeway's Washington and Alaska division, based in Seattle. Boone and family now live in Bellevue, a Seattle suburb. KNOWN HERE as a fishing enthusiast, Curt says he is still at it. But he almost over did it two weeks ago when he latched on to a 10-pound steelhead while fishing with friend George Valley in the Satsop River.

Going down river in turbulent water, Curt says, the oar came out of the oarlock, the boat turned over and the pair had to swim for it. They lost everything including the fish. Two otherSafeway executives came to Fairbanks with Boone. Kid Stuff WITH THE hassle on campus over suspension of publication of the Polar Star, someone might think the University of Alaska student government has problems. It's nothing by comparison to San Francisco State.

In the February issue of "The Quill," a magazine for journalists, Prof. B.H. Liebes writes an article entitled "Campus Editors Aren't Paper Tigers." It begins: "Jim Vaszko, 21-year-old editor, knows what it's like to have his head kicked in over freedom of the press." Vaszko, editor of the Daily Gater, was beaten by four Negro students who maintained the Gater slanted and underplayed news of the Black Students Union. After he was hospitalized, fisty 127-pounds) said, "I get kicks out of being a newspaperman." Campus activists later tried to get Vaszko fired because they felt editorials should be written to say what students wanted to say and not what the editor wanted to say. That sounds slightly familiar.

Egypt Rejects UN Offi CAIRO (AP) An Egyptian government spokesman rejected Israel's offer of direct negotiations under U.N. auspices Monday night, saying the Israelis should comply with peace proposals already approved by the U.N. Security Council. Dr. Mohamed Hassan el Zay- yat said Israel appears to be intent on imposing its own peace terms on the Arabs.

er The Security Council called last November for Israeli withdrawal from Arab lands captured in the war last June 5-10, Arab recognition of Israel, a solution to the Palestinian refugee problem and free navigation through international water, ways in the area. Eban said secure and recognized borders for Israel are the key to peace. The Fairbanks North Star Borough-; Assembly, sitting as a board of equalization last night, approved a motion asking the borough administration to draft a a i i a providing for filing of flood damage relief to May 13, 1968. The relief, applicable to the balance of 1967 property taxes, would cover the period from the date of the August flood to the end of the year, or about months of tax adjustment. Originally a deadline of Jan.

2 had been in effect. Only four people qualified. Their cases were considered last night. A 30 a consideration but came in after the deadline. These people need not re-file.

Perhaps 100 others had called in to the borough office for tax relief but were told the deadline had passed. These people may not apply. Some 1,400 properties in the borough were re-assessed after the August flood and the value reduced in accordance with the damage. Four appealed the adjustments to the board. Others may now do so.

One local woman last night demanded that her assessment figure be raised. She said she had private information that an urban renewal project was about to take shape in South Fairbanks and she didn't want to be "pushed into the swamp." Councilman John Huber left last night's meeting at 8:20 after a dispute with John Gustafson, the presiding officer. Huber said he was ill. i assemblymen attended the hearing. $50 a pound certainly represents a valuable new resource for the Arctic--far more than we would ever realize from a $500 ora $100 game tag." "We've got the potential for a million dollar wool resource on Nunivak Island alone," Hickel added.

But Fish and Game people here, point out that the animals on Nunivak Island exist in a free and undomesticated state, and are not useful for wool bearing purposes, except when in captivity. Said commissioner Nelson, referring to the use of the animals on i a I a wool-producing purposes: "It has nothing to do with the removal of surplus animals. They haven't figured out a way to do animals would not be useful for that purpose." He cited Prof. John Teal of Alaska University at Fairbanks as his authority on this point. Prof.

Teal has gained world-wide fame for his research in the domestication of the musk ox. Nelson pointed out that the luxurious and valuable wool is not shorn from a musk ox but is curried or rubbed off. Unless they are corralled in a domesticated manner harvest of their wool is not feasible, he explained. In his statement this morning, Gov. Hickel said he has been assured by researchers that implementation of the game tax bill would cause a serious setback to the domestication programs underway at the unversity and on Nunivak Island, where the herd now numbers more than 700 animals.

Again game biologists here disagree. Saying that the herd should be limited to a maximum of 700 animals if the ecological balance on the island is not going to be seriously disrupted. Nelson pointed out that musk ox reproduction will result in a surplus of animals over the number Nunivak Island can support each year. Since cost of their relocation is prohibitive, the only alternative would be to attempt to reduce their numbers by permitting limited harvests by game hunters. Nelson questioned how "gamey" the hunting of musk ox might be "because of their peculiar mechanism of defense," which is hardly effective against bullets.

He pointed out that the musk ox's natural defense is a gregarious maneuver designed to thwart predator animals. The bulls form a ring around the rest of the head with their heads pointing outward, he said, and that won't stop lead, Nelson explained. He did say however, that not' all musk ox move in herds, and that many do roam singly. He also said he felt that musk ox would make a prize mounted trophy. Man Bound Over In Vanishing Cash Case Lawrence Duncan, an Army man for 16 years, was bound over to a Grand Jury yesterday on charges of stealing about $850 from John Pannick, after a preliminary hearing in District Court.

Pannick, a teamster-truck driver for Sealand, testified that on Oct. 31 he had been taken home by Duncan from the Billikin Lounge, after having about 20 drinks. Pannick remembered little of what had happened that night but said he passed out in the taxi. At home he discovered the money missing. Pannick said he had withdrawn the money from his savings account for an operation.

George Nelson, a bartender at the Billiken, said Pannick had been flashing the money around all night and left it out on the bar where everyone could see it. Nelson, Duncan and Frank Perez, a bartender at the Arctic Bowl, had been involved in money lending. Nelson and Perez both testified that they would give Duncan money to loan out in small amounts and Duncan would repay them with interest. Perez said Duncan gave him back $130 on the night in question, for an original $50 loan. Nelson also testified that Duncan had repaid him $200 later that night.

Both Perez and Nelson denied they had suggested the robbery. Since it was payday both men said they thought Duncan had collected his loans. A taxi driver remembered driving Pannick and another man to Pannick's home that night, but he could not identify the defendant as the man. Duncan gave two statements to the police, which were admitted as evidence. The statements are allegedly contradictory.

Carey Tells of Trapper's Life, Has Book Coming Out TRAPPER'S TRADE Trapper Fabian Carey shows pelt to Jerome Lardy, president of Tanana-Yukon Historical Society. Carey spoke to the group about his trapping career. (News-Miner Staff Photo) "The engine, the radio and the airplane are three of the greatest boons that ever came the trapper's way," trapper and author Fabian Carey told members of the Tanana-Yukon Historical Society at their last meeting. Long-time Fairbanksan Fabian Carey was the featured speaker. His topic was trapping in Alaska, beginning with his first experience when at age 19 in 1937 he took off into the Kantishna River country on a lone trapping expedition Aug.

12 arid did not return to civilization until the following May. Carey has been hitting the trapline with fair regularity every year since, more or less in the same vicinity, including the season of 1967-68. "The gasoline engine was a welcome thing," he said. The first kickers came into the country in 1909 but did not gain popularity until after World War I. "The engine, the radio and the airplane are three of greatest boons that ever came the trapper's way," he said.

Elaborating on the grub question he said that a man in the woods can eat well nowadays but that the early dehydrated vegetables were horrible. "There was one brand of dried eggs that were little hard pellets like buckshot, but of late years they have improved. Perhaps we have the Gls to thank for that," Carey said. He stated flatly that on the food question the greatest danger was in relying on the rifle for subsistence. Game animals change their range occasionally or are killed off for one reason or another and a trapper who had planned on stocking his larder "off the country" could well go hungry through no fault of his woodcraft or marksmanship.

"It's hard to be out all winter without meat," Carey said, "but if one gets stuck one winter and has to live on rabbits, he is off rabbits all the rest of his life." He deplored the low fur prices now in effect. "It is depressing to try to sell fur now," he said. Speaking of taking fur animals by means of a trap, Carey advanced the argument that of ail the thousands of square miles in the country, the animal must put his foot on that special and exact one inch, which is the trap pan, so that it has a very sporting chance of remaining free and uncaught all its natural life. "A trapper is not like a farmer," Cary said pointedly, "who gets animals to love him and then betrays their trust and confidence by murdering them without compunction." Fabian Carey, an ardent conservationist, author and collector, gained worldwide friends last summer while presiding over his private collection of trappers miscellania at Alaska 67. His authentic log cabin proved to be one of the most popular exhibits on the site.

Carey has written many articles on trapping and wildcraft for sporting magazines. This fall he will be bringing out a book, "The Fur Trade In Alaska," with Alfred A. Knopf the publisher. The Tanana-Yukon Historical Society, Jerome E. Lardy, president, meets the fourth Thursday evening oif each month at the Chamber of Commerce world-famous log cabin.

It is always anxious to increase its membership. Dues are nominal and visitors always welcome. Fifteen tons of dog food, donated to Alaskan villages by the German Shepherd Club of Washington, will help fill an emergency need for food this winter. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has received requests for over 70 tons of food. In some of the villages, there is a desperate need for the dog food, reports the bureau.

Fish runs on the rivers were very poor last summer, and hunting is bad in most villages this winter. The dog food will prevent any killing of dogs, as was the practice in past years when villages ran out of dog food. The German Shepherd Club and the A i a Antivivisection Society have also promised to furnish any other emergency rations needed this winter. The dog food, now in Anchorage, will be shipped to Fairbanks via the Alaska Railroad in a few days. The bureau of Indian Affairs will pay freight charges.

The food was originally brought from Seattle to Anchorage by Sealand, free of charge. It was stored by the Alaska Air National Guard in Anchorage. Native villages will pay about half of the cost of shipping the food from Fairbanks to the villages. The Alaska Air National Guard was asked to fly the food in to villages, but reportedly refused, saying, "the emergency is over." Not all of the villages are in need of food. A few had good hunts this winter and need no dog food.

Nenana and Tanana will receive the most food, 4,000 pounds and 4,500 pounds respectively. Villages which need more food are being asked by the bureau to contact the two clubs directly, rather than to go through the bureau of Indian Affairs. The bureau is acting mainly as a middle man for this gift, although it has said it would supply food in an emergency situation if no one else would. Red Armor Near Saigon SAIGON (AP) Communist tanks were reported Monday night only 50 miles northwest of Saigon in their deepest penetration of South Vietnam. South Vietnamese military headquarters said a force of civilian irregulars and their U.S.

Special Forces advisers came on a column of three tanks and a half-tracked armored person' nel carrier near the Cambodian border. The U.S. Command identified the vehicles only as "armored vehicles of an unspecified type" accompanied by an estimated battalion--about 400 men--of enemy troops. The appearance of Communist armored forces in the area and so far south raised the possibility of a menacing new enemy buildup along the Cambodian border. Previously the presence of enemy tanks has been confirmed only in the northwest corner of the country, near the U.S.

Marine combat base at Khe Sanh. The UA Command said the allied force blew up one of the vehicles with antitank rockets and the explosion killed 30 enemy soldiers. "To blow up that hard, it had to have a lot of ammunition in it," one UA officer said. Some South Vietnamese sources said there were reports the tanks were Russian T34s a World War weapon. The U.S..

Command said that after nearly two hours of fighting the vehicles that were still mobile and the remainder of the enemy force broke contact and fled to the west, presumably to Cambodia. But a U.S. spokesman said the enemy later launched a counterattack and the force of about 100 South Vietnamese and Americans then withdrew. Parents aired grievances with the Main Junior High School special education program at a special PTA meeting last night. The special education program concerns the education of i a and mentally handicapped students in the North Star Borough school system.

Lloyd Pfleuger, parent of a handicapped child, called the meeting and delivered a speech, listing grievances of other parents with children in Main's special education program. Mrs. Josephine Parrott, Main principal, said that "the one thing that the parents and Mrs. Carlisle want is more equipment for the special education program. They need this equipment and will get it." Mrs.

Carlisle, Main's special education teacher, said that "50 per cent of Main's special education equipment belongs to her, and funding for more equipment has been difficult to obtain." Pfleuger discussed the worth and effectiveness of present special education programs, stating that professional evaluations of handicapped children should be conducted more often. Don Anderson, the borough's school psychologist, said that the individual folders of handicapped children were "the thickest ones there, and he would be glad to test any child, if the teacher were to submit a request for evaluation." Discussion focused on the present practice of placing handicapped children in regular classes for part of the school day. Ernest L. Fresher, director of special education, said "mixing these students necessary, since the handicapped students must get used to a real environment- similar to real life." Parents decided to form a parent-teacher educational group to study the program of special education. 1000 Chinese Cakes OXNARD Calif.

(AP) Mayor William D. Soo Hoo says he has sent 1,000 Chinese cakes, cookies and tiny containers to the parents of Angela Lee of San Francisco. Friedman Accused of Not Paying Tax on Marijuana a i M. Friedman, a a i a a awaiting admission to practice law in Alaska, was indicted by a federal Grand Jury yesterday on charges of illegal possession of marijuana without paying transfer tax. Friedman, one of two people to pass the Alaska bar exam in Fairbanks, was arrested Jan.

4 at the College Post Office after picking up his mail. A package addressed to him, which he had a i marijuana. The charge against Friedman had been dismissed by U.S. Commissioner Hugh Connelly at the preliminary hearing here Feb. 10.

At the time of the hearing U.S. attorney Richard McVeigh had said he would seek a Grand Jury indictment on the case, despite what happened at the hearing. The Grand Jury meets in secret and hears only the evidence presented by the state. It determines whether there is probable cause to hold a person to stand trial. The defendant and his lawyer are not allowed to be present.

The Alaska Bar Association is holding up Friedman's swearing in until it obtains more information on him. Freidman has requested that he be allowed to appear at the meeting of the Board of Governors next month. A local member of the board, Thomas Fen ton, has suggested to the board that Friedman be allowed to appear at the meeting.
