William T.. Hornaday. director OF the
New York Geological Park. New YORK
citv. expresses his willingness to CO.
operate with the supporters OF the Fed
cral migratory bird law to test the va

opinion that Congress was without au-
thority TO enact this law and for that
reason he believed the statute unconsu-
tutional.
Mr.. Carmodys opinion created a sur
among the members OF the American
Ornithologists' Union. which met in an
nual Congress in New York city last
week. and was attacked in public state
ment issued by Or. Hornaday.
