BALD G PROTECTED
FROM HUNTERS GUNS

The bald eagle, symbol of Am
erican ideal of freedom is now
protected from all hunters and
collectors by an act of Congress.
which has been approved by
President Roosevelt, Secretary
of the Interior Harold L. Ickes
announced recently.
Enforcement of the act will
be delegated to U. S. game man.
agement agents and deputy ag-
entS of the Bureau of Biological
Survey, who are charged with
the conservation of the coun-
try's wildlife resources.
The "Bald Eagle" act was
sponsored by Senator David I,
Walsh and Representative Cha
rles R. Clason of Massachusetts,.
Declaring that the bald eagle
is now threatened with extinc-
ton and expressing the desire
to protect the bird that was adj
opted as the national symbol
by the Continental Congress in
1882, the act prohibits anyone
from possessing bald eagles in
any manner, whether by taking
bartering, selling, or other
means. The act protects the
bird throught the United States
and its possessions, except AL
aska.
Persons taking, possessing, or
dealing in bald eagles will be
liable to fines up to $500 or i'm
prisonment up to six months, or
both.
Secretary Ickes, however, has
been authorized to issue permits
to take, possess, or transport
bald eagles after Investigations
show such action is compatible
with the preservation of the
bird. The act specifies he may
issue these permits, when
deemed advisable, to public mu-
seums, scientific societies, or
geological parks, or when he
finds such action necessary for
the protection of wildlife or OF
agricultural or other interests
in any particular locality.

1t Is true that recent German

arms and ammunition factories have
received direct hits and been badly
damaged.

day the Government released q
letter stating there were few re-

Government contracts are not doing
so and are not writing letters OF

that when a lot of the business exec

plenty on the subject of paying

delay production unless some Of the

managers plan to bear down most
heavily on the charge that the re-
election of Roosevelt means an end
to the democratic process in this
country as it has been operating for
$50 years.
Their buildup of the issue already
has begun with speeches over the
air by Republican members of Con-
gress and candidates for State Of
fee. Their contention Is that the
reelection of the President for a
third term-unprecedented in the
history Of the country-is merely a
capstone for the drive of the present
administration to centralize all pow
er In the Chief Executive. They
speak of the effort of the President
three years ago to take over con-
troll of the Supreme Court by pack
ing" the membership of the court
under the terms Of a bill he then
proposed. They speak, too, Of the
first administration reorganization
bill, which virtually gave the Presi-
dent the power Of life and death
over all the governmental agencies
Cite Purge Attempt.
Most particularly are they exer-
cised over the method of lump-sum
appropriations. handled to the Pres
ident to expend as he sees fit. This
they insist, is turning the purse
strings over to the Executive, and
with it the domination Of the
country.
AS evidences Of the Presidents
own personal itch for power, they
refer to the purge" attempted
In 1898 against Democratic Sena.
tors and Representatives who had
differed with Mr.. Roosevelt on the
court bill and other measures and
to the manner in which he manipu-
lated the Democratic National Con-
vention just closed.
Gradually. under the Roosevelt
administration, the Federal Gov
ernment has gained more and more
power over industry and agricul.
ture. Businessmen and the farmers
must jump when the administration
piper plays the tune.
All Of this has been q growth over
q period Of eight years. the Re-
publicans say. And If the country
re-elects Mr.. Roosevelt next No.
vember, the last step toward vir.
tual dictatorship In this country
will have been taken. That Is the
story which the @. o. p. campaign
managers intend to spread through
out the country.
How successful they will be with
this third-term issue is not GER
tain. But there are the makings
in 1t. The country reacted strongly
against the Presidents bill to in
crease the membership Of the Su-
preme Court so as to control It's
decisions. It was one Of those funda-
mentals that the American people
get all hot and bothered about every
50 often. The third term may be
another.
Learn Of Ticket Dictation.
The handling Of the Democratic
National Convention by the admin
istration forces Is likely to help
spread the opinion that this coun-
try is tending toward a one-mar
Government. Every one who reads
the newspapers or listens to the
radio was informed last week that
the President was debating the Sc
lection Of . vice presidential candi-
date-and doing it in way that
made lot Of the delegates to the
convention pretty sore.
