Ducks Storvinq
By Hundreds in

Rs the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 8-Wild ducks
are starving by hundreds in West
ern Shore bays, United States
Deputy Game Warden H. E. Terry
said today after surveys in south
ern Anne Arundel County.
Mr.. Terry issued an appeal to
sportsmen's organizations to place
food for the starving waterfowl He
said immediate action was neces-
sary to save thousands of ducks al
ready weak and feeble.
Mr. Terry said he found a large
number of ducks dead on the ice
and large numbers so weak they
could be picked up by hand.
He distributed 300 pounds of
cracked corn in feeding holes cut
in the ice, but said larger quantities
were urgently needed.
Winter closed in so quickly large
f1ocks of ducks were stormbound
here. Formation of ice prevented
the bottom feeding ducks from
getting food.
Mr.. Terry said virtually all feed
ing bottoms were frozen over.

ItoIy Reported Behind
Hungary on Claims
=, the Associated Press


ROME, Jan. 8.-Authoritative
Fascists indicated today that Italy
would support Hungary's territorial
claims in return for Hungary's aid
in defense of the Balkans against
danger of invasion by Russia.
Such responsible sources as Vir-
ginio Gayda, editor of II Giornale
dItalia who usually speaks for the
government, denied fatty, however,
that any new formal agreements
had been negotiated by Foreign
Minister Count Ciano and the
Hungarian foreign minister. Count
Stefan Csaky. in their week end
conferences at Venice.
Gayda. writing for his newspaper
from Venice, said that the meet
ing of the two diplomats was a
warning to everybody that Hun
gary is at the side of italian policy
in the general lines which it is
tracing and in the methods which
1t intends to follow for its develop
ment, just as Italy stands beside
Hungary in the particular prob
lens which she has raised and
which form the substance of her
foreign policy"
Methods UndisclOsed.
Nothing was disclosed of the
methods Italy intends to follow to
keep war out of the Balkans.

Small Army Of Men
Digs s5.2-Inch Snow
Off Capital Streets
No More Precipitation
Expected Today; Mercur
Due to Hit 20 Tonight

A small army of men and ma
chimes were working today to clear
an estimated 100000 cubic yards OF
snow of the streets of Washington
The SnOW-meaSured officially at
SO inches-deScended on the city in
IL hours, beginning at 6:l8 o'clock
last night. The weather man said
he expected no more snow today and
predicted fair weather for tomorrow
The mercury-Which sank to %
early today-will drop to 20 degrees
tonight, the forecaster said.
The work Of removing the snow
began at 10:30 o'clock last night
when William A. Xanten, superin-
tendent of the city Refuse Depart
ment, sent his first snow plow crews
out.
BY am Mr.. Xanten had SO
plows going over the main traffic
arteries. The Capital Transit Co.
started its crews out at 7:30 o'clock
last night.
The city's snow plow crews cover
166 miles of streets, including the
81 miles where the parking ban is
in effect after 2 am. The plows go
over these streets in both directions,
sometimes covering them more
than once They had finished their
job by 9 am. today.
Sanding Crews Begin at $3.50 Am.
About $3.50 am. the sanding crews
seven trucks and 10 men-started
out to follow the plows They put
sand on hills and other danger
spots, answering requests of police
and others.
The main body of workers did not
get on the streets until about am,
when IT'S men started out to haul
accumulated snow off downtown
streets and to clear intersections for
pedestrians. This crew works until
$3.50 pm, and returns at midnight
to renew the assault.
Their activities are confined to
main streets in the business dis
trict. They don't haul snow from
residential areas-leaving it there
to melt. 1t would take $4,000 men,
Mr.. Xanten says, to haul all the
Snow of the city streets.
Forces Work Is Doubled.
Snow plows cannot clean the
streets bare, because friction would
ruin their metal scoops. They at
tempt to level the snow of, leaving
thin cushion over the street.
The clearing work is done by the
same men who haul refuse from
the city's back doors and when q
heavy job of snow removal, like this,
comes along trash accumulates all
over town. The collection men have

keager Clues Sifted
In Salesman S Death
Al Fort Hunt
Victim Found Battered
By Picnic Ground
Fireplace Grating
Pictures on Page B-1.)

Meager clues in the Staying OF
a 29-year-old Fredericksburg, Va,
tobacco salesman, found bludgeoned
to death with fireplace grating on
the picnic grounds of Fort Hunt
yesterday, were being sifted today
by agents of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and United States
park police.
The battered body of the victim
Sidney Mansfield Little. native
of Washington, N. Clay in an
Alexandria funeral home as au-
thorities sought his automobile
which they believed was driven from
the scene by the murderer.
Seaman Sidney j. Ballard, at
tached to the Navy Yard, who said
he met Mr.. Little Saturday night
and visited several cafes with him
during the evening, was released
after questioning. He had not re-
ported for duty at the Navy Yard
today, however.
Sailors Name In Note Book.
The sailors name was found
scribbled in a note book in the dead
mans pocket.
The body was found about 200
yards from the Mount Vernon boule-
ward in a small picnic clearing on
the grounds of the Federal reser-
Vation
A lock of hair. about 3 inches long,
was clutched in the victims left
hand. Nearby were a powder puff,
two chamois polishing cloths and a
mans handkerchief, none of which
were bloodstained.
When the body was undressed at
the funeral parlor So in cash and
check made out to Mr. Little by a
Fredericksburg drug store were
found stuffed in ore of his socks. In
the other sock was found a wrist
watch. A second notebook was in
his coat pocket
The fireplace grating, heavy and
unwieldy, lay near the victims head
and was smeared with blood. Ap-
parently Mr.. Little had been beaten
to the ground before the grating
was dropped on his head.
Doubt Grating Sole Weapon.
One attendant at the funeral par
lor expressed doubt today that the
grating was the sole weapon used
by the murderer He said most OF
the deep gashes on Mr. LittleS head
were clean cuts and appeared to
have been inflicted by a sharp in
strument rather than the bulky
grating. One of the victims ears
he said, was severed almost COM
pletely from his head. as if with a
knife.
The attendant said Mr.. Little ap-
parently had been dead for hours
and that the death struggle prob
ably took place not long after mid.
night. The body was found about
II am.
Marks in the snow around the
spot indicated terrific struggle hao
taken place. The body was lying
face down.
