McCauley Tells
State Game News
New Acting Director Issues First
Summary; Explains Duck
Law

In his first review of game affairs
made since he recently took over the
office of acting director Of the state
department. Of game. Bernard T.
McCauley issues the following high
lights of the departments activities:
Tell Duck Law
New and stringent regulations Of
the federal government regarding
migratory game birds automatically
become regulation of the Wash
ington state game commission as a
result of action taken by the COM
missioners at q meeting earlier this
year.
Generally considered the most i'm
portant changes in the laws for local
duck and geese hunters are the
elimination Of batting. and the ban
ming of use of live decoys. The
season on ducks and geese in all
northern states opens October 81
and closes November 10, with shoot
ing hours each day set between
700 a. m. and 400 p. m. standard
time.
Must Plug Shotguns
Shotguns used in hunting in
Washington must be limited, by
plugging if necessary, to three
shells.
Ross goose, wood duck, ruddy
duck, bufflehead duck, and swans
are protected again.
An interesting sidelight on the 81
duck stamp regulation in force last
season is that instead of being
bought only by licensed hunters, the
stamps now may be purchased
singly, in blocks, or in sheets-for
hunting, stamp collections, or simply
to aid in the waterfowl restoration
program. Before hunting, however,
a nimrod must validate the stamp
by writing his signature in ink
acros sthe face of it. Validated
stamps are nOJ transferable.
Preservation Record Good
Successful game preservation on
Whidby Island is cited by Wash
9ington state game department Off
Gals in stressing the Importance of
determination of predatory animals.
There are none of the larger preda-
tors cougar, bobcat, or coyote-on
the islands of Puget Sound.
Lack of these animals coupled
with enforcement of the state game
code has seen upland birds and deer
rapidly increase on WILDLY Island
during the past few years until the
island is nearing a game paradise.
Since the first Of this year Is deer
have been killed by automobiles on
the island. This report by Game
Protector Henry Bercot indicates
the plentitude of deer on the island.
Absence of coyote and kin doesn't
prevent predatory drives on Whid-
by Island, however. Recently the
Holmes Harbor Rod and Gun club
accounted for the following preda
tory birds: 232 crows, IA hawks.
and II kingfishers.
BullfrOgs "Act Up"
Game Protector Gar Klinger,
Stevenson, reports being requested
to make bullfrogs in his district be-
have. A farmer made the request
after finding a bullfrog in the act
of swallowing a young duck.
Recently the Washington state
game commission voted a year.

COURT RULING
MAY DECIDE
FATE Of NRA
By JOHN A. REICHMANN
limited Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, May 4. WP -
Determination of how far the gov
ernment can go in controlling busi-
ness by restriction rested today
with nine supreme court Jurlsts
considering NRA constitutionality.
The decision, expected some Mon
day afternoon between now and
June 3. may influence the entire
future relationship between govern
ment and business. Economic
planning and other major new
deal" issues we're at stake.
The hearing on a appeal from
New York federal court ruling hold
ing the wage and hour provisions
as applied to the A. L. A. Schecter
Poultry corporation invalid was
concluded late yesterday. The court
was expected to expedite a deci-
sion.
The future of NRA hangs in the
balance. The recovery act expires
June Is, two weeks after the court
is to adjourn for the summer. Con
gress may be influenced in writing
an extension by the decision.
Important questions involved are,
l. Is the provision of MIRA which
permits the PRONUNCIATION Of codes
of fair competition a constitution
al delegate of power to the Presi-
dent or does it give him powers
which congress alone can exercise?
2. Does congress, even for the
purpose of saving the country from
a severe depression, have the power
to say what shall be the minimum
wage and MAXIMUM hours Of en-
ployment?

SACRAMENTO, May 4. - The
California legislature ended the
ninth week of its spring session to-
day, still far removed from a solu-
ton to the states major taxation,
revenue and unemployment prob
lens.
A disinclination to consider tax
plans until the joint steering COM
mittee of "A has had a chance TO
draw up a program prevented any
action this week on scores of rev.
enue producing recommendations
which must be studied before ad-
journment.
AS a result OF inaction on the
mass CT important measures which
have accumulated, the taxation
tangle was in as great mess as it
was last January, and there was no
may to determine when the session
would end.
The senate approved resolu-
ton to adjourn May 19, but there
was no chance of the assembly rat
flying the proposal, legislators
agreed. Speaker Edward Craig said
there would be no clock-stopping,
if he could help it.
''This assembly will continue in
session in orderly fashion until it
has completed its work, - he prom
ised, ..instead Of resorting to clock
stopping subterfuge."

plants, which wer every active, most
local industrial units operated at
moderate rates during the month
The strike of tanker seamen inter-
fered with the movement of crude
oil early in the period; currently
shipments are again normal. While
crude oil production declined from
82.l per cent of the 1880 level in
March to 754 in April, refinerieS
operated at a seasonally higher
level. Threats of strikes affected
both the tire and furniture trade,
the situation in the latter line now
being acute.
Retail trade in Southern Cali
fornia exceeded seasonal expecta-
tions during April and rose to new
high levels for the recovery move
ment. Los Angeles department
stores as a group sold approximate
ly 25 per cent more merchandise
than in the same month a year
ago and, after all seasonal factors
are taken into consideration, bet
tered their March record by per
cent. The banks index Of depart
ment store sales now stands at
74.5 per cent Of the 1880 average.
The outlook for California crops
during 1885 continues to be excel
lent, conditions being exceptionally
good throughout the state. Navel
orange growers are now concluding
the marketing of one of the largest
crops in historS Since prices have
averaged slightly higher than in
the 1933-34 season, grower income
will be appreciably larger this year
A record crop of valencia oranges
is now starting to market, foreign
exports absorbing most of the move
ment to this date.

conclude their work within three
weeks, Legislative pay stops May
22), it was possible to continue the
session indefinitely.
Other legislative activities were
confined to controversial bills hav-
ing no connection with revenue
production, and to scores of unim-
portant measures.
Stand BY Resolution
The assembly stood by its resolu-
ton asking Governor Frank F..
Merriam to commute the sentence
of Thomas j. Mooney and Warren
K. Billings, but refused to consider
changing habeas corpus laws to
give Mooney a loophole through
which he might escape his life SEN
tence in San quentin prison.

sembly include:
Passage Of a chain store tax bill
by the vote Of SO to 8.
Final passage of a building and
loan regulatory bill.
Passage of a bill regulating the
small loan business.
Refusal to consider resolution
against an ad valorem tax.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUSINESS
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT IN April.

The performance of Southern
California business during April
was distinctly encouraging accord
ing to the monthly summary of
business conditions issued by the
research department of the Secu-
rity-First National Bank of Los
Angeles. The month was featured
by unusually large automobile sales
accompanied by record production
of cars at local plants, a sharp
rise in the volume OF new build
ing work started, and a new re-
covery level in retail trade. The
banks index of business rose 13
points above March, according to
preliminary calculations, hereby
holding to the marked upward
trend which has shown no inter
ruption since November, 1894.
New automobile registrations in
the II southern counties of Cali
fornia have exceeded 1000 units
in both March and April of this
year; only in 1929 and 1923 were
sales in these months at higher
levels. This showing is not only
indicative of a general increase in
purchasing power but in addition
reveals renewed confidence in the
future on the part of the consum-
ers who sign instalment contracts.
Approximately 60 per cent of auto
mobile sales are financed on the
monthly payment basis, estimates
indicating that over S20,000.000 in
new credit has been extended TO
auto purchasers in Southern Cali
fornia so far this year. Such rap
id expansion of consumer credit is
an important stimulus to trade and
industry at this time.
