smelly markets, offer a banana to a "hungry" panhandler (he returned it),
and stop in library. Call Mrs. Neher (she's been in Anok since quake--

June 3, 1964
Awake before 0600, Bur. of Comm. Fisheries again by 0800 where we
talk more with Baltzo learning if we go to St. Paul now we'll have to
spend a week. Wilfred Anderson ran us out to the Fisheries Lab on Sand Point
Military Reservation where we meet bushy-browed old Vic Sheaffer--I recalled
him from Bky. Mtn. Expt. Sta. days, and Karl W. Kenyon. The letter is
knowledgeable conservationist who's worked in Central Pacific too, deplores
Jones' killing eagles because they take his Aleutian geese and the spraying
of his neighbor killing his robins. We have lunch at "The Coals", I riding
with Vic in VW after finding out Frank Richardson too tired from fleshing out
elephant skeleton to see us. Then we meet Bob French and Chuck Hunter and
learn that at-sea observations have been made in various areas of North
Pacific since 1956 and that we could put observer on their ship. Meet Al
Ropped who'll be on Pribilofs with family and Felix Favorite, oceanographer.
