FISHING
and
HUNTING

High fire risk in Michigan's
forests has brought special appeal
TO the states half million small
game hunters to be careful when
they take to the fields and woods
this fall
Weeks Of fine weather have left
the woods extremely dry and fallen
leaves have so increased the fire
hazard that lookouts in fire towers
perhaps will be kept at their posts
beyond the usual October is layoff
date the field administration divi-
sion OF the Michigan department of
conservation reported today. Only
heavy rains will change the situa-
ton materially.
To date timber losses from fire
have been held TO three-tenths of
one percent Of the area guarded
Not so good as the 1888 record
when the loss was one-eighth of
one per cent, or in 1887, when the
loss was even lower, the 1899 fire
record to date compares favorably
with the best years, A total Of 1857
fires this year have burned over
1868 acres OF the 1891 1888 acres
guarded. OF this loss, about two
thirds or more than 10000 acres
was caused by three fires of incen-
diary origin on the week end of
May SO in Montgomery county
One man has since been convicted
and sentenced.
Besides a timber loss Of more than
$4,000 in the three major fires.
much valuable humus topsoil was
destroyed in the burned over area
game was killed and fish life in the
streams affected. In asking hunters
to be particularly careful with
camphres, matches and tobacco, at
tention is called to the possible de-
struction Of game and the equally
serious less fer the AHAterT-ef good
game cover.

Amateur Protests
A. A. U. Ruling

1t was no surprise to Detroit fight
followers that Joe Murdoch, former
Golden Glove champion, was de-
clared professional and was asked
by the local A.AU. to turn in his
amateur membership card; but it
was quite a shock when they re-
queSted the card of Howard Will
hams, recent heavyweight champion.
Joe Murdoch was one of the main
springs in the Bob Pastor training
camp and according to the amateur
|rAes he had stepped out Of the
i1Ge4e and had placed himself in the
|society of the fighters who make a
living fighting. Murdock admits that
he had made plans of turning pro-
fessional and that Pastor-LouIs fight
ing in Detroit gave him his oppor-
tunity.
But the case Of Howard Williams
claims TO be .erent. Williams
states that he was not paid en-
ployee of either Joe Louis or Bob
Pastor training camps; but just went
up to Louis camp to help Roscoe
Toles prepare himself for his fight
on the title card.
Williams said that he had intend
leo turning pro but had not quite
m lde up his mind He protested
.ainst the A.A,U. ruling on the
Igro1nds that the sparring Of amateur
boys with pros has happened often
without the amateur boy getting
paid for it, Such workouts teaches
the amateur points and many other
tricks their professional brothers
use in the ring.
AS for the paid spectators coming
In to watch them train; the same
thing happens at the various ANA
teur shows.

RUMANIk GETS
 MOSCOW ORDER TO "SIGN Up''
.Soviets Declare Americans Backing Imperidlisf
 Warfare

MOSCOW, Dec. 6.--Rumania has been urged to sign mutual assist ance pact immediately with Russia by an article published in the Com munist International" mouthpiece of the international Communist or ganization.
 The publication declared the pact should be similar to treaties Russia signed with Latvia, Estonia and Lithunia, through which Moscow gained naval and military bases on Che soils of three Baltic states.
 The Commintern article declared, "The English and French reaction ary bourgeoise are supported by an Amercian financial oligarchy striv- ing to involve small countries in an imperialist war.
 ''The political and economical sit- uation of Rumania makes it vitally necessary that peoples inhabiting Rumania establish most friendly re- lations with the Soviet Union"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Such a queer turn has the cotton market taken that in spite of record world surplus of American cotton, the price may be jacked up half cent a pound in the domestic market in the next few months because of a technical shortage.
 Under the cotton loan program, which was originally designed to put a floor under prices but now can De used to push them up, the De- partment of Agriculture has 11,000,- 900 bales of surplus tied up by loans or outright ownership. This com ing year there will be a world de- mand for 13,500,000 bales of cotton, the department estimates, 7,500,000 bales for this country and 6,000,O00 bales abroad
 However, the crop just harvested brought only 11,885. .060 bales. That means that more than 1,500,000 bales of American cotton must be found some other place.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-12-06
WALLACE PROTESTS

The Bureau of the Budget got wind of the situation and told Sec retary of Agriculture allace that of course he wouldn't need any money this year to leand on the current cotton crop since the growers were assured of price above the prob able amount of the government loan.
 Wallace had to put up stout ar gument against that He insisted that if the farmer was not assured of at least the loan price" of his cotton there would be a lot of pam iky selling of this years crop. More over, he said, the growers had been promised a loan when they signed up for crop control last year and it was no time obe fooling with such promises. He got the money for the loan and it is fixed at g cents for standard grades.
 The funny part of it is that in spite of the technical squeeze, the department will find it necessary to continue the export subsidy and pos sibly even to increase it. Without the subsidy it is likely the expected export of 6,000.00O bales would fall short, which would throw extra cot ton on the American market,

Million Tons of British Warships Now Under

LONDON. Dec G. - Wins t on Churchill, First Lord of the Admir- atty, announced today in the House of Commons that five German sub marines have been sunk by the French and British navies this week
 Churchill said the destruction of Nazi submersibles during the week surpassed Germany's capacity to re- place her losses and constituted a severe blow to the enemy.
 The Admiralty head also said the Allied drive against German subs is destroying from two to foui weekly" which is a rate superior tc what we believe is the German power in replacing U-boats."
 Churchill said more than a thou sand British merchant ships art armed for defense and two thousand more will soon be added to this inn posing total.
 Mines Do Damage
 Germany's magnetic mines have accounted for more than half of the British sea losses within the past month, Churchill declared, adding that the magnetic mines are neither mysterious nor new, while prepara- tions for counter measures were al- ready far advanced before the first magnetic mine was shown in British waters.
 Following this statement, Churchill declared: At the present stage of building, we have nearly a million tons of warships under construction in all classes, and much of this con- struction is already in the advanced stage"
