Three major changes in the Fletcher
Rayburn securities bill are now being
proposed We feel sure that they will be
written into the measure, for as it now
stands it has little chance of being passed
by Congress. Government control of the
sales of securities may be a good thing,
if we are to believe all that has been
said about stock exchanges, brokers, etc,
but we can't very well legislate out Of
existence a business from which many
people derive sustenance and income a
bill with teeth in it can still be contrived
from the Fletcher Rayburn proposal with
out emasculating it.

There is some talk about postponing
the opening of the trout season in Con-
necticut. 1t seems to us it's getting later
and later every year. Once upon time
the season opened April l.. Now it doesn't
begin until the 18th of the month: or
course there is corresponding gain in
days on the other end to make up for the
lost two weeks. The reason for the de-
lay this year is the cold winter Brooks
are expected to be full and cold way into
April This will prevent the state stock
ing streams. 1t will also prevent good
fishing. And We'll probably get an early
hot summer, so thatll cut into the season
on the other end. There have been
100000 adult trout, averaging over a
pound each, reared for planting this
spring That's good news. Let's hope the
streams soon subside.

The frigate Constitution will return to
the Boston Navy yard shortly to remain
open for public inspection, so official adj
vices from Washington state. The famous
old vessel which was reconstructed
through popular subscription several
years ago is now on the Pacific coast. AS
soon as she returns to the Atlantic she
will go to Boston. We presume that this
really means the end of Old Ironsides.
There won't be any effort made to sail her
again. Perhaps as a floating museum
she can live out the rest of her days in
the tranquility that should come to ripe
old age. Still there will be plenty of cri-
ticism from sources. In fact ever since
the Constitution was reconditioned there
has been criticism. Although fully
equipped for sailing the vessel has never,
so far as we know, unfurled her sails.
She has been towed ANONYMOUSLY from
port'to port. This, of course, has pre-
served the ship and saved her joints, but
the Constitution wasn't rebuilt for this
purpose. However, we can't say that we're
any worse off now than we were when
we were being roundly scored for letting
such an historical old vessel rot to the
waters edge.

Killers

The League of Ohio Sportsmen and the
1zaak Walton league got together recently
in joint session with the State Conserva-
ton Council and listed their common pub
lie enemies. These were given as the
black crow, the domestic cat, the great
horned owl and the fox The crow was
charged with destroying bird life by kill
ing fledgelings and eating eggs. The vii
famous crow also kills small rabbits.
The cat, they declared, is all right when
it is kept home, but when it wanders over
country roads and farms it kills small
game and birds. The great horned owl,
according to the sportsmen, is an odious
creature which kills merely for the joy
of killing, single owl doing away with
so rabbits in year. The fox, it was adj
mitted, is economical, killing for food
and eating everything he kills. but still
guilty of killing consistently.
The purpose of declaring these creatures
public enemies is doubtless in prepar-
alton for taking aggressive action against
them. But doesn't it seem a little out of
place for human hunters to accuse wild
birds and animals of being evil because
they kill for pleasure and for food? If
the crows, cats, horned owls and foxes
held convention, one wonders what they
would say about the sportsmen? And
how much more dead is a rabbit killed
by a great horned owl than one killed by
an intrepid human hunter?

Hints "Too Much Talk"

It has been indicated Hoover feels something was said or done in connection with the Dillinger affair which may have repercus- sions later.

This is the second in series of three articles.
By RICHARD RENDELL


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Cen- tralization and secrecy are regard ed by John Edgar Hoover, director of criminal investigation for the Department of Justice, as two major factors in the success of any federal man-hunt.
 They resulted directly in the elimination of John Dillinger as Public Enemy No. l.
 We received hundreds of tips during the four and half months we were looking for Dillinger, ' Hoover said, and most of them were cleared through the Washing ton office.
 When our office in New York or Los Angeles or anywhere else re- ceived advice on Dillingers where abouts, the tips were sent in here and relaycd to the office nearest the place he was supposed to be. That is the fastest and least expensive way to do it." the direc- tor explained.
 Checked All Tips
 Generalization of direction some times goes even further than that. In big cases, Hoover directs the questioning of prisoners on the ba- sis of telephonic reports received from the field.
 He is in almost constant tele- phonic touch with men out on the job. He has private line strung from the department building to his, house so he can be reached at home day or night.
 Sitting the Dillinger tips which came to the department required a lot of time.
 We couldn't afford to overlook a single one," Hoover said. Some times we got as many as dozen a day All were checked"
 Police experts often have ex- pressed wonder at the amount of work the 480 men in the division accomplished. A war chest of $2,- 900 ,OOO voted by the last congress has corrected the lack of personnel in part. About 30 recruits are to report for duty within few days
 Operate In Secrecy
 All will go through the division training school in crime detection and will be given training in marks manship at one of the nearby army posts. Then they will be sent out on the crime front.
 Hoover shifts his men from of flee to office about every two years. This, he explains, gives them an adaptable" attitude. } Movements of the operatives are clOaked in secrecy.
 The Kidnapping of Charles Boett- cher, II, of Denver was an object lesson to Federal agents. Boett- cher helped locate the hideout of the kidnapers by recalling the ap- proximate time he heard an air. plane pass overhead while he was held prisoner.
 In every abduction case after that, Hoover says, kidnapers stuffed the ears of their prisoners with cotton.
