RAIN HANDICAPS
 SP0RTSMEN HERE
PatrOlmen Dunn and Pel. ton Brave Elements,
 and Bag Pheasants

Torrential rains the past few days proved a handicap to local sportsmen who planned to enjoy the opening of the game season yesterday. Well known hunters in this locality who did venture into the woods but remained only short time, stated conditions in general were unfavorable. Patrol man Delmar Dunn and Lou Pelton, among the most ardent of Water bury huntsmen, however, had the good fortune to shoot pheasants.
 Many who had attempted to spend the first day of the season reported hunting dogs could not pick up the scent and there was the risk of causing weather damage to valuable guns.
 The weatherman was 6 bit more kindly today and in a check of huntSmen, and game resorts, 1t was learned that large number were about at an early hour. Peter Fitz- henry said he planned to hunt to- day and regarded the storm as a blessing since 1t had removed the

DUCK HAWK MADE
 ATTACK ON MAN

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 21-(UP)- Harard Universitys ornithological department today described as "ap- parently unprecedented" the report ed attack of a duck hawk on a Quincy man.
 Lester w. Stone had reported that has flee was gouged by the three inch talons of duck hawk which attacked him in the yard of his home. He killed the bird, which had a wingspread of 3 feet inches.
 Harvard ornithologists said the duck hawk was a swift, powerful member of the Falcon family, so courageous that 1t often attacked birds bigge rthan itself. There was no record, however, they said, of a duck hawk attacking a man.

NORTHWEST AREA
COUNCIL IS URGED
Hege and FIickinger Back
Plan Suggested by Com
munity Editor.

Formation of far Northwest con-
ference of citizens associations, SINH
lar to those in other sections Of the
city, has been suggested by Berneard
Elman, editor and publisher of the
Chevy Chase News, bi-monthly
community paper which serves that
section Of Washington.
Elman points to the Southeast
Council and Northeast Conference as
the types of organizations which could
be formed by associations north and
vast of Rock Creek Park, and declares
that when these or similar groups
consider a civic problem they are
apt to exert a greater influence than
a number of neighborhood groups
acting independently and with vari-
ences. large or small, in courses deemed
desirable for effective results.
"Of course. such an agency should
not be viewed as superior to the
neighborhood group" Elman said,
but it should function merely as an
instrument to ascertain and attempt
to compose minor differences as be-
tween member bodies"
Officers of associations in the af-
fected area will be asked to attend or
send delegates to a meeting which
will be called later this month to
consider formation of such a con-
ference. Groups which will be asked
to participate are the Chevy Chase,
Connecticut Avenue, American Uni
versity Park, Friendship, Cathedral
Heights Cleveland Park, Forest Hills,
North Cleveland Park and Richmond
Park Citizens Associations.
Among those who already have
given their support to the proposed
conference is Edwin S. Hege. presi-
dent of the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association.
Organizations around this section
have lot in common which they could
discuss in such conference. Chevy
Chase has no complaint about its
reception at the District Building or
the Capitol, but there is feeling that
consolidated conference would help
some of the weaker groups out here"
he said.
Samuel j. F'llcklnger. president OF
the Friendship Citizens Association
also is in favor of Northwest con-
ference.
Allegiance between associations in
Northwest Washington undoubtedly
would benefit member associations, !"
he stated. Concerted effort in mat
tiers affecting the whole area some
times is needed. In the past Friend
ship association has sought the en-
dorsement of neighboring groups on
matters which should claim their
attention. The old saying, In unity
there is strength is equally true in
civic as well as in other matters"

TOSEEk
new TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Southeast Council to Propose
Alternate Plan to Making
11th Street One Way.

Traffic lights at Eleventh street and
North Carolina avenue southeast sim
liar to those in operation at Eleventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue and
on lower Constitution avenue, will be
sought by a delegation representing
the Southeast Council when they
call on Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer tomorrow in an effort to solve
the controversy that has arisen over
the changing of Eleventh street south
east, from B street northeast to South
Carolina avenue southeast, from two
way traffic to one-way south.
In view of the fact that the traffic
directors Office is so adamant in its
refusal to change the street to two
way traffic, the council feels that it
might relent to the extent Of making
the change in traffic lights. At pres
ent the lights are the same as those
at most other circles or parks. How
ever, pedestrians in the vicinity Of Lin
coin Park must proceed with the light,
but in doing so they are constantly
risking themselves to accidents, it has
been revealed. Under the system to
be proposed, the pedestrian would
have a better than even chance to
make It,"
Van Duzer's stand is based on q
report showing that since the change
from two-way to one-way traffic on
Eleventh street no accidents had been
reported at the intersection of Elev-
enth street and North Carolina avenue
southeast.
The delegation at a committee
meeting last week decided on the
traffic light change as compromise. !"
The only dissenting vote among the
10 member bodies comprising the
council, was cast by Lincoln Park, a
prime mover in having the change
made to one-way.
