Controversial as the crime prob.
lem has become in the District of
Columbia, it's students have agreed
en- one point-there has never
been an adequate investigation OF
the situation, although such an
investigation is a vital require
ment.
Congressional committees, citi,
ZenS' committees and others whose
sporadic activities make occa,
sional flashes in the newspapers
have conducted their so-called in
vestigations and made reports
from time to time. but profound
students of the subject say these
inveStigationS-not excluding that
of the recent Crime subcommit.
tee-have been merely superficial.
According to one local common
tator, who declines to be directly
quoted, most of the local in.
veStigationS have been directed 70
ward personalities rather than to-
ward an unbiased cause. effect
and remedy study. and because of
the excitment they generated
whatever usefulness they might
otherwise have had, has been de-
Stroyed.
Nine Group Did Well
Probably the most constructive
work yet done in crime proven
ton has been performed by the
Committee of Nine. developed dur
ing the Attorney Generals Crime
Conference last year. Although it's
comings and goings have been
but slightly noted, this commit
tee has met with frequent regu-
larity since it came into existence
and is reported to have made sub
stantial progress in a local crime
study intended to be Of permanent
benefit.
Composed of F. Regis Noel, for

Association; James G.. Yaden,
president, Federation of Citizens
Association; Paul B. Cromelin,

Studied Other Cities
Quickly arriving at the conclu-
sion that the experience of other
cities burdened in the past with
difficult crime problems would
supply the best guide for the Dis
trict of Columbia, the committee
of nine launched a study of the
manner in which several of these
cities have approached the prob
lem.
Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland
are generally considered to have
made the greatest strides in crime
prevention during the past two
years and these cities were closely
studied by the committee.
Recognizing Chicago as having
made the most outstanding gain

CHOKING OFF DUCK HUNTERS
duncan Empire)

Conservation is a fine thing
equitably applied, but attempted in
blanket form. regardless of local
conditions, it is pretty sure to turn
popular sentiment against it and in
the end spike its own laudable pur-
pose. An example is found in the
regulations promulgated by the Bio
logical Survey for duck shooting. In
this instance. the game executives
have laid down general rules, which.
while probably applicable in certain
sections of the States, are as unfit
ting for Alaska as an Alaska law
would be in the State of New York.
In the first place, it is a known
fact that Alaskans do not slaugh-
ter game for the slaughter. and, il
they did, all the duck shooters in
Alaska couldn't do half the damage
one large gun club in the States,
with all its blinds and decoys for
fooling the birds, could do in one
Sunday morning if allowed TO run
rampant. And that is the inference
sportsmen get here from the new
regulations. They feel they are
made exclusively for gun clubs in
the States.
Shooting hours between 7 a. m.
and p. m. are not applicable here
Most local hunters know few birds
are available after 7 o'clock The
time to shoot ducks is in the early
morning, and daylight comes early
here even in September. and in the
late afternoon. In other words, the
few Alaskan hunters are deprived
of duck shooting in their own
country due to the early season and
the shooting hours.
OF course, the wholesale taking
of ducks cannot be allowed any
more than any other birds or game
if they are to be conserved for fu-
ture generations, but the theory of
choking off a sparsely populated
country to serve powerful sports
mems clubs in the States could
hardly be considered equitable or
intelligent conservation.

BATTING IS BLAMED FOR
GREAT SLAUGHTER OF DUCKS
Continued from Page One)

California. where 10,476 hunters
killed 2O9.O97 ducks Illinois came
second with a total bag of 161,-
935 ducks by 12,95S hunters. Other
states where permit holders report
ed total kills of more than 10000
ducks were: Washington. where .
AT hunters killed 74.52S ducks;
Oregon. with 2,421 hunters and g.
1S3 ducks: Maryland, with 4,371
hunters and 34.146 ducks; and Mis-
souri,, 1904 hunters and 20,53S
ducks.
The largest kills of geese with
the aid of bait were reported from
Illinois (4.079). Maryland C3.03S).
and North Carolina G,426l.
Mallard Toll Greatest
Mallards made up the largest
share of the bags from the baited
areas, the total of 237893 includ-
ing 1870 reported from Illinois.
Pintails were next with a total for
the country of 17S,452. which in
Guided 127,95S reported from Cali
fornia.
Among the species protected by
special daily bag limit of last
year, those suffering the heaviest
losses where bait was used were:
Scaup, 1884; shoveller, 1929;
canyasback, 1850; and redhead, s.
539. The largest number of shovel
lers for any one state 12,151) was
reported from California For each
of the others of these species the
largest kill was reported fom Mary
land-scaup, 1854; canvasback, g.
III; and redhead, 4,073.
Effects of Batting Investigated
Though practiced in only a few
areas at the close of the World
War, batting. once started, soon be-
came widespread. Gunners who bait
ed had a tremendous advantage over
those who did not, ana when one
hunter started batting others shoot
ing in the same area felt more OF
less compelled to follow.
Opposition to batting grew until
in 1888, an investigation was re-
quested by the board of sportsmen
and conservationists then advising
the Secretary of Agriculture on
matters pertaining to the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act. Conducted by y
naturalists of the Biological Survey
in all parts of the country, this in
vestigation revealed an adequate
supply OF natural food for the birds
and showed that batting had many
serious effects. The practice, it was
found, not only affected all the
common species of ducks and geese
but had its most injurious effects
on the canvasbacks, redheads,
scaups. and other diving ducks that
have decreased most alarmingly.
Steps We're taken to regulate the
practice in 1884 by allowing bait
ing only under permit, with restric-
lions, and the necessity for a re-
duced annual kill this fall has made
