Potomac Urged as Bird Refuge
From d. e.. Line Past Mt. Vernon
Society Asks Secretary of Ag.
riculture to Prohibit Au Hunting
in That Area.

Establishment of the Potomac and
its banks from the District line to
Dogues Creek below Mount Vernon as
wild fowl refuge in which all hunting
would be absolutely prohibited was re-
quested of Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace In a resolution adopted last
night at the annual meeting of the
Audubon Society of the District of
Columbia.
The success of the small bird sane
tuary established at Roachs Run near
Washington was stressed in justifica-
tion of the larger experiment. The
Potomac would serve as a demonstra-
ton area for the whole country, the
resolution stated.
Now" said DR.. Paul Bartsch Of
the United States National Museum,
about all you can see is gun blinds
when you go down the Mount Vernon
highway during the hunting season."
The authority to set aside such refugees,
he stressed. Is entirely in the hands of
the Secretary of Agriculture.
Original Plates Found.
DR.. T. S. Palmer. president OF the
society, told of the finding of the orig
inal steel and copper plates of some
of the rarest books in the world in
the sub basement OF the Library of
Congress. These books are some of
the reports of the Wilkes expedition
around the world just 100 years ago,
which resulted in the discovery of the
Antarctic Continent.
Some of the reports, especially that OF
the naturalist Titan Peale, are now the
rarest of all Government documents.
Only 100 were printed. When DR..
Palmer was investigating bird books
he found that there were only four
copies left in America and only 16

FIXING OF WAGES
HELD UNEC0NOMIC
New York and Columbia Univer.
sites Professors Cite Law Of
Supply and Demand.

b the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-A group OF
New York University and Columbia
University economists Issued a signed
statement yesterday attacking wage
and price rigidities' and saying the
purchasing power Of a nation can
only be maintained by producing goods
that are generally recognized as
valuable"
Abiding only by implication to the
statement in Washington by President
Roosevelt favoring lower industrial
prices and maintenance Of wage levels,
but speaking of suggestions" to that
effect, the statement said:
I'VE sympathize with the high ideals
OF the present administration con-
corning the general we'll being OF the
people. We respectfully submit, how
ever. that the way to obtain these
ideals is not by arbitrarily fixing prices
and wages.
Increased production must be en-
couraged by facilitating readjustments
according to the law Of supply and de-

in the world. These were priceless.
His inquiry revealed, however, that the
original plates had been forgotten but
never destroyed. They have been
cleaned and probably will be brought
out for exhibition in connection with
the Wilkes centennial.
In spite Of the spread of Washing
ton, with apartment houses rising
where there was woodland few years
ago. the game birds" of the area are
holding their own, DR.. Palmer said.
This can be stated with certainty, it
developed, because of a little known
Job of the District police-that Of
counting the birds.
Police Count Birds.
A duty Of the police is to enforce
the game laws Of the District. Some
years ago Congress made an annual
appropriation of $500 for feeding the
birds in winter and 1t devolved on
the police to administer this fund un-
der the game laws.
Then the appropriation was discon-
tinued, but the police held on to the
job. Now during the winter volunteers
are called for in some Of the outlying
precincts. Their job is to watch for
birds In distress and report back to the
precincts. The Audubon Society is
given these reports and seeks private
funds after investigating. Approxi-
mately accurate counts are required.
Then the police put out the food.
As result, DR.. Palmer said, the
District has very reliable record,
especially Of the abundance OF quail
within the limits of the city. In spite
OF the growth Of Washington the num-
ber has remained stationary for about
IS years, ranging between 1900 and
50O
