l. Limitation Of 30-hour q
week and 6-hour day for indus

prevail. Where labor is non

The interview came to a close
when one of the reporters men

son, Kenneth, jr., six years old.
Kenneth said:

He broke into tears.
Detective Lieutenant Ernest
Bradford, after comforting with
the Buck brothers, said that both
had denied there were two others
involved in the kidnapping.
A difference of opinion devel-
oped between the Buck brothers
when they stood before the bar
for arraignment.
Kenneth did not want to pro.

ARL D. SHOEMAKER, secretary
of the Special Committee on
4 Wild Life Resources of the

~ARL u. SHOEMAKER, secretary
1 of the Special Committee on
Wild Life Resources of the
United States Senate, in a ra-
dio address for Rod and Stream. said
the conservation of wild life embraces
field, forest and water. Its problems,
he said, deal with the biological aspects
of the destruction and perpetuation Of
our natural resources, the wise use of
the species themselves and their adap-
tation to human welfare.
THE heavy foot of man in his on
ward march against the frontier, across
the plains and through the wilderness,
observed Shoemaker, leaves in its wake
only a fragment of what nature placed
there. Therefore, the conservation OF
wild life includes regulation Of the ac-
tivities of man himself-the curbing or
restraining Of his uses and abuses OF
wild life to the end that our heritage
in these valuable natural resources may
not be destroyed or brought to the van
ishing point, but kept at level con-
sistent with the normal capacity of their
environment and the needs of mankind
CHOEMAKER pointed out that the
Lroper envirnment for wild life
is absolutely essential to its per-
petuation and increase. So important
he said, is it that If you take out one
of the factors involved in environment
such as cover, food, water and contro
of natural enemies, the wild life popu'
lation begins to 60 down and our prob
lem becomes more acute and complex
Let us take the case of the migratory
water fowl, and to shorten the term, lei
us talk about ducks, he said. "The fac
tors involved IN the permanency Of the
duck population are:
81. Assured nesting and breeding
marshes and plentiful supply Of fooe
in that locality.
''2 Resting areas in which the foot
supply is ample along the migrator!
flight lanes from the Summer breed
ing grounds in the North to the win.
tering grounds in the South.
"3. Ample protection against wan.
ton slaughter and violation of regu'
lations.
All three of these essential consider.
ations in the perpetuation of the duel
population have failed in some degree
he said AS result, the number o1
our ducks has gradually decreased and
the supply has reached such . Low
point that the Federal Government
has been compelled to shorten the

ally reduce the bag limit. But regu.
