Duck Flight Is Reported Worst
 In Many Years
Slim Bags of Teals Taken in Few Places But Hunt
 ing Especially Poor

Slim bags and what game offic- ials reported as the poorest flight in 10 years was the result of the first duck shooting day in this vin- inity today.
 There were small flights of teal around Lemon and Salmon Creek flats but other places were re- ported virtually barren of wildfowl,
 Executive Officer Frank Dufresne of the Alaska Game Commission, who was out along the highway himself, said it was one of the poor est flights he had ever seen and easily the worst in 10 years.
 There was virtually nothing but teal and sportsmen appeared to be getting them only around Salmon Greek flats and at Lemon Creek, he reported He expressed hope however, that the flight would pick up a little later. A similar condi- tion prevailed at CordoVa when the Season opened there but after or five days the ducks started com ing in,
 The game chief paid warm com pliment to the sportsmanship o1 the duck hunters on opening day All the hunters observed the O. clock law almost to the minute he said, and there were no viola tions of any kind.
 one chap got ambitious around 6;30 and fired one shot, but it was the only one I heard before pretty close to o'clock" Dufresne said Tt was an even start for everybody but there certainly wasn't much tC shoot at"

WASHINGTON. october 1.--Evi- Tdence that Senator Justice Black foresaw the possibility of an anti Klan lzickback and sought at once to forestail it has nestled virtually ; set. in rho eensre5sicnal Record these many days
 The Senate had already con- firmed the nomination of Black to the Supreme Court when Senator Bankhead of Alabama, the new Jus tice's Senatorial colleague, arose to make a speech. Bankhead's speech les are rarely exciting and in the hurly-burly of the closing days of the session his message escaped with the most casual reference in the press.
 But this is what he did. Bank head read into the record what Senator Black had prepared in the nature of a reply to Klan accu- sations, made against him by Sem ator Copeland of New York and others in the debate on confirma- ton.
 The message was in the form of letters and telegrams to Black from Jews. Catholics. negroes and for eign-born residents of Alabama and elsewhere. These are the class es made the special subjects of Klan hate. The messages congratulated Black upon his appointment and expressed confidence in his ability and i,1flirial anaoitu

COMMENTS BY BLACK


 Bankhead did not say that the messages had been turned over to him by Black, but without excep- ton all were addressed to the new justice. Moreover, in an offhand manner Bankhead indicated that Black had penciled notes on the letters and telegrams to assist Bankhead in explaining to the Sen ate whether the writer was Catho- lie, Jew, negro or foreign-born.
 Bankhead said he had intended reading them into the record dur ing the course of the debate but had found no opportunity until a late stage By then, he said, 1t had became evident that Black would be confirmed, so he passed over the opportunity Nevertheless, next day he read the messages into the rec ord, saying:
 "In view of the injection of the Ku Klux Klan into the debate, l QeSlTG IO Tbdu SUIilc OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES from outstanding Jews, outstand- ing Catholics, and one of the lead ing negroes in the State of Ala bama with reference to their atti- tude toward Senator Black
 Altogether 35 messages were read into the record. Samples are;
 Tt is with a great deal of pleas ure that l learned of your appoint ment to the Supreme Court. I feel that this is just and fitting reward for your untiring work and efforts on behalf of our people. My best wishes and heartfelt congratula- tions."
 It was signed by Louis Pizitz. Said Bankhead: He is the largest mer- chant in the state of Alabama, a Jew"

ASSOCIATION
SUPPORTS KING BILL

The local branch of the American
nounced its support of the King bill
to place the District on an equality
with the States in the allotment Of
Federal-aid highway funds.
II the measure passes, the District
would receive about 100000 a year
in Federal road funds, according to
Washington I. Cleveland, manager Of
the District A. A. A. He said:
while Federal aid is apportioned
to the States on the basis of area,
population and road mileage, pro-
vision Is made for the smaller States
to get minimum Of one-half of /
per cent Of the total. Thus, States
like Delaware. New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Vermont and the Terri
tory of Hawaii now receive about
100000 annually. The District Of
Columbia, If the King bill Is passed,
would receive approximately the same
amount"
The A. A. A. official explained that
Senator Kings bill follows closely
action by the thirty-fourth annual
convention Of the American Automo-
bile Association favoring q share Of
Federal aid for the District. Under
the terms of the King bill Federal
aid for washington would begin July
/ of this year. and 1t is anticipated
that the measure will be given early
consideration by Congress.
