REFUGEES URGED TO SAVE
DUCKS AT SENATE QUIZ

Pointed questions put to more
than 100 witnesses by the Senate
wild-life committee at its hearings
on April 4, and 6, held to deter
mine migratory waterfowl conditions
and public sentiment in regard to
proper hunting regulations and pro-
posed duck restoration plans, drew
out of the chaos of conflicting opin-
ions several points of agreement on
which the federal wild fowl hunting
season next fall will probably be
based.
State game commissioners, scient-
lists and heads of state and national
sportsmen's organizations urged
that chains of inviolate refugees be
established on all major fight lanes
from Canada to the southern borders
of the United States.
Testimony disclosed that:

WINTER WHEAT
REPORT GIVEN
Unusually Cold Weather
of Early March Killed
Growing Plants

Condition of winter wheat in Del
aware was reported at 81 per cent on
April 1, according to Richard c.
Ross, agricultural statistician for
Delaware. This is 20 per cent lower
than the condition reported last De-
cember l. Condition of last years
crop was about n per cent on April
l, and the ten-year average on this
date is SO per cent.
The unusually cold weather of
early March killed back the tips of
the growing wheat plants, but it is
not believed that any permanent Sc
rious injury was done to the crop
by the cold weather The crop had
not fully recovered from its setback
by April 1, but should progress rap
idly as the weather becomes warmer.
Rye condition was reported at SO
per cent, compared with n per cent
at this time last year and the ten
year average of SO per cent. Condi-
tion of this years crop was reported
at 81 per cent last December 1.
Pastures have been slow in start
ing growth but prospects are good
for plentiful supplies of feed as soon
as the weather warns up. Condition
is now about 81 per cent. The ten
year average of condition is 50 per
cent.
Orchardists say it is yet too soon
to determine definitely the damage
done to fruit trees by the unseason-
ably cold weather of early March
but they do not think that fruit pros
poets were greatly affected. Many
buds-as high as IS per cent, some
growers estimate-were killed on
he earlier blooming varieties, par
icularly on peaches. However, if
favorable conditions prevail between
now and harvest, fair to good crops
ire in prospect. Later blooming va
'ieties of fruit were not greatly af-
ected by the low temperatures.

riOus decrease of duck; during the
last Is years. Destruction of former
nesting, resting and feeding areas is
agreed upon as a major cause. At
lantic coast states still have an
abundance of ducks. So have certain
concentration areas i'm the MISSISSIPPI
pi Valley. Other sections report q
shortage. Authorities believe the
abundance of ducks in a few sections
is largely due to forced concentra-
tiOn of ducks in suitable areas re-
manning.
A short shooting season of uni
form length will be agreeable, even
to sportsmen of well-supplied areas,
if the states are permitted to set
their own time. They prefer at
least 60 days of shooting, TO be
plcade by state regulation at any
time between Oct. 1 and Jan. is, as
local flight conditions warrant. They
desire state regulation of shooting
hours, batting, decoys and all other
minor phases of the sport, dictated
by local requirements.
A shorter season of heavy shoot
ing is considered more harmful to
the birds, and to be destructive of
interest in waterful restoration.
With inadequate law enforcement as
at present, it would also leave ducks
to the mercy of pot-shooters.
Sentiment is almost unanimously
against the cent-a-shell tax bill now
before the House Ways and Means
Committee, but overwhelmingly in
favor of a federal license of 81 for
migratory bird hunters as a means
of financing federal waterfowl resto-
ration work. This work should en-
phasize the reclaiming of former wa
terfowl habitat drained for agricul-
tural purposes, much of it now lying
waste.

FORCES MUSTERED
TO FIGHT DOMAIN
LAND GRANT BILL

The Evans-Nye bill, which would
turn over some 1S0,000,000 acres of
unreserved, unappropriated public
domain TO the states in which the
lands are located and which is now
the subject of hearings under way
before the Public Lands committees
of both the House and the Senate,
places at stake virtually all the i'm
portant natural resources held in
trust by the federal government for
all the people of the United States,
George D. Pratt, president of the
American Forestry Association, de-
clared recently in Il statement sent
to leading conservation Organiza-
tiOnS.
81 am informed that some of the
members of the Senate Public Lands
Committee who come from states
that would be recipients of the
lands are arguing that the grant
should include the mineral resour-
ces along with the surface resour-
ces," he stated. 81 am also informed
that former Congressman from
western state is advocating that the
grant also include the national for
ests, federal wild-life refugees and all
other federal reservations excepting
national parks. !
Zone provision alone in the Ev-
ans-Nye bill could wreck the ma
tional forests in that it would give
state boards complete and final pow
er to eliminate lands from the pub
lie forests and in turn pass these
lands to the states, which if so
could sell them to private |
he warned.
"These proposals strike at the
very foundation of the national prin-
ciple of conservation as formulated
under the leadership of Theodore
and developed during the
years." Mr.. Pratt said.
"The American ForestOry Associ-
alton stands for inviolate retention
of the lands and natural resources
which now belong to our people as
a perpetual and inalienable trust to
be used for the common benefit of
all the citizens for economic better
nent, industrial sterilization, water
she'd protection, general welfare,
common defense and human instruc-
ion and inspiration.
"The bill would ignore the fact
hat these resources have been ac-
Iuired, paid for and protected
through the years with money con-
ributed by the people of all the
states. Conservationists must see to
t that the American people do not
lwaken from an economic coma to
ind their naturel resources blown to
he political winds"

- ANDOR szABO, with victory ap-
parently in his grasp, was
soundly whacked on his glass
like jaw by the desperately
driven elbow of Dick Shikat and
thrown before 5000 wrestling fans last
night at the Washington Auditorium.
The last five minutes of the 53-minute
match constituted perhaps the most
hectic period of wrestling in the his
tory of Washington.
After g. nip and tuck scrap, featured
by unusual roughness, Szabo and Shi-
kat took turns tossing each other about
the ring The crowd rose in a body
and Pandemonium reigned as first one
and then the other appeared too
groggy TO continue A minute before
the end, Szabo had Shikat all but out
on his feet, but what looked to be a
piece of bad judgment cost the Hun
garian youth the decision. Shikat too
tired to cope with Szabo's strength,
was draped on the floor near the corner
but Szabo, instead of attempting to pin
his shoulders to the mat, elected to try
lew more Iylng mares. his LnuO
attempt proved to be his waterloo.
AS Szabo came rushing to Shikat,
the ex-champion swung a hard, per-
fectly timed elbow to the Hungarian's
jaw. SZabo went down as though he
had been shot and Shikat, after two
airplane spins, fell across his PROSTATE
foes body.
A string bean-like newcomer, Fred
Grubmeyer, the second Tall Tower to
invade the auditorium in as many
weeks, almost stole the show despite
the sensational final match, one of the
best of the year. Grubmeyer, six feet,
four inches tall, became the new hero
when he Smeared MatroS Kirilinko all
over the ring and had the huge Russian
almost unconscious with his deadly
hook scissors as the whistle blew at the
end of the 80 minutes.
The entire card was clicky. Herbie
Freeman won fast and entertaining
semi-windup from George Hagen in
2312 minutes with backdrop.
George CalZa won from Ivan zeles-
MAX in 1872 minutes and Doc Wilson
conquered Bill Lewis in 26 minutes in

MARYLAND PARK, Md, January ~
One of the results of the mild Winter
is that Maryland Park High School will
be represented for the first time in the
battle for the Prince Georges County
scholastic basket bail championship.
The Parkers do all their playing on an
outside court, the, school having no
gymnasium, and at first did not plan to
fight for the title against Hyattsville
and Mount Rainier
With weather conditions so favorable
the squad has been able to get in much
practice and several games and Coach
Robert Wilson makes it plain that In no
wise does Maryland Park concede the
crown to Hyattsville and Mount Rainier.
Leading members of the Maryland
Park squad include Dominic Palmer,
Junior Dom and Russell Spiddle, for
wards; Edward Roberts, center, and
Harry Dom, Willie Stack and John
Newman, guards. Reserves are Henry
Halfpap, forward Charles Wilhyde,
center, and Lawrence Frye, guard.
There is no regular captain, a leader
peing appointed for each game.
Maryland Park has come to the front
rapidly in soccer and base ball and now
hopes to do we'll in basket ball.
In soccer the Parkers won the county
championship in 1880 and last Fall gave
Hyattsville, the champion, terrific oppo-
sition before succumbing.
