l Few events in recent years have

and just common, every day, gar

return and reception accorded
Charles Lindbergh, Columbus of

Lindbergh's acclaim, as was his
achievement, is without parallel in
history. Never before have ma
tions so unanimously joined in
such ~unreserved, wholehearted and
simultaneous praise Of an indi-
vidual. who. less than a month
ago, was buried in the obscurity
of the common ruck. Kings and
potentates, presidents and pre-
miers, the Colonel's lady no less
than Judy O'Grady. have laid at
his feet the laurel wreath reserved
for the valiant.
Almost before the request reach
ed his desk, Postmaster General
New announced the issuance of a
special air mail postage stamp in
honor of Lindbergh. Prohibited

Though at odds as to a residential
candidate, two Western Republican
leaders in Congress have called for a
united front on the problem of farm
relief from all in the agricultural area.
Insisting that the new farm bill
must include the equalization fee of
the McNary-Haugen measure, which
drew President Coolidge's veto, Repre-
sentative Dickinson of Iowa, in a
statement issued late yesterday, point.

MARYLAND LOSES
PATROL BOAT ROW
Game Warden Withdrawn
From U. S. Craft After Pro-
test by Virginia.

Gov. Ritchie of Maryland, ardent
advocate of State rights, has had his
hand called by Gov. Byrd of Virginia,
who insisted that the sovereign State
of Maryland was being favored un-
duly by the Federal Government on
the Potomac River, through the game
warden patrol boat, Curlew, and that
Virginia's rights were thus being
violated.
Consequently, Maryland authorities
likely will place State game warden
patrol boat on the Potomac for the
use Of it's law-enforcing officers, fol-
lowing yesterdays action of the
Biological Survey of the Department
withdrawal Of the Maryland deputy
warden aboard the Curlew. This
order came on the heels of a protest
by Gov. Byrd that the Federal Gov
ernment was assisting Maryland to
enforce her game laws from a Federal
patrol boat.
Announcement Made.
The Governments position was set
forth in this announcement: Judge
William S. Snow, one of the commits
sioners of the Virginia Department of
Game and Inland Fisheries, and who
also represented Gov. Byrd OF vlr,
ginia, conferred today with Biological
Survey officials relative to the ques-
ton of continuing cooperation with
the Maryland Conservation Depart
ment on the survey patrol boat
Curlew, operating on the Potomac
River.
The Virginia authorities feel that
inasmuch as there is controversy
between the two States relative to the
accuracy of the boundary line that
the survey should not permit Mary
land warden on the Federal boat for
the purpose of enforcing Maryland
laws involving violations which might
be predicated upon the location of the
offense with regard to the boundary
line in dispute.
1.-The survey desires to cooperate
whenever possible with the various
States in the enforcement of Federal
and State game laws. In the present
instance, however, when controversy
in good faith is involved that does
not in any manner affect the Federal
regulations under the migratory bird
treaty act, the only course open to
the Survey is to take a neutral stand
in the matter. Pending the settle
ment, therefore, of the controversy
between the two States, the Biological
Survey patrol boat, Curlew will be
operated by United States game war
dens only"
The hunting season on the Potomac
opened November / and continues
until January 81. Federal regulations
in connection with the hunting of
wild geese and ducks will be rigidly
enforced by the Biological Survey.
Maryland authorities have given
notice that all hunters in Maryland
waters must have State license and
that non-residents must comply with
the license and hunting regulations of
the State. The license fee for non-
resident hunters is $3.50 and for use
of a special blind an additional license
fee of $3.50 Is imposed.
