LAWS LIMITING WILDFOWL KILL
 NEEDED IN U. s.
Biological Survey Chief Gives Three Reasons
 for Decrease

Washington. (UP)-Unless laws are enacted limiting the annual kill of wildfowl, hunters may soon face the fact of having no birds to shoot, according to Paul G. Red ington, chief of the bureau of bio logical survey of the department of agriculture.
 On the heels of President Hoov- CTS proclamation shortening the hunting season, Redington recently stated that Americas wildfowl are ''in the most precarious situation in their history" This condition he blamed partly on the drought, partly on the great numbers killed each season, and partly on the re- duction of marsh areas where the birds breed.
 This last factor is being partial ly removed by the establishment of federal migratory bird refuges. During the past two years con tracts have been negotiated for ac- quisition of more than 1000 acres in California, Colorado. Flor ida, Nebraska, North Carolina and South Carolina. Through executive orders about 65,000 acres have pecH scI dSiue TUT hho purposes III public lands in California, Mon- tana, Navada and Oklahoma. This gives total of 176,00 acres in nine states. -
 Nevertheless, according to Red ington, drastic action will have to be taken soon if the supply of game birds is to be kept up. Such action, he said. should consist of effective regulation and limitation of the kill of the birds" which has totaled between 12,0o0,000 and 15.- 900, 900 annually.

Political" Navy
 Yards Must Be
 Abandoned Soon

washington, Oct g - (UP) - Abandonment of several so-called political navy yards on the east coast or the laying up of one-fifth of the active fleet was offered President Hoover today by high naval officials as the only means of effecting reduction in the naval budget.
 Mir Hoover has demanded a $61, ,000,000 cut in naval exjendi- lures.
 In a tentative report, not yet submitted to Secretary Adams. several ranking officers will urge abandonment or consolidation of various navy yards and shore sta tions which they assert are being maintained chiefly for political reasons. The report also will say that even though extensive reporms are brought about in these stations it still will be necessary to curtail suightly the operations of the fleet.

Continue Case
 of SciOrtinO
Charge Changed, Bond Is
 Reduced to $lOO

To permit the police authorities additional time to carry on their investigation Judge T. V. Meyer to- day continued the case of Salva- tore Sciortino, IS, of 51, Irion street until next Monday morning. The accused's bond has been re- duced from $3,000 to $100 as the charge has been changed from illegal transportation of alcohol to false registration of a motor ye- hicle.
 Sciortino was arrested early yes- terday morning on North Main St. He was driving a Cadillac car that reeked of the odor of molasses and moonshine. The back seat of the machine had been removed for additional space for cartons and boxes. A pool of molasses and several pounds of sugar scattered about the interior of the machine gave proof that the car was used in transportation of accessories for a still. Notwithstanding the efforts of the police in questioning the youth they were unable to learn anything from him about a still. Under state laws it is impossible for the court to prosecute for carrying only gallon of alcohol. The federal agents may take up the case later.
 The police on checking up on the registration of the car found that misleading information had been furnished in obtaining the permit. This offense is punishable by fine of at least $50.
 The case of John Roberts, 25, of BIT South Main street was con- tinued until tomorrow morning. A local business concern charges him with misappropriating various amounts of money that may ap- proximate $200.

 Two double gates interrupt the fence and are located near the park pavilion. It is probable that during the football games automo- piles will be parked inside the fence in the rear of the newly in- stalled b1eachers.
 The football field this, year is laid out just the opposite of last year, running from Plank road to the Haywood tennis courts, thus allowing four sets of bleachers to be installed which can accommo- date a larger crowd than in past years.
