Mr.. Greene said. Scientists as
signed to this work are engaged
in one of six fields of investiga-
ton: Distribution anc migration
of birds, wildlife surveys, food
habits, fur resources, disease con.
troll and national park wildlife.
'It is on the basis of migration
and nesting studies that we can
estimate the migratory water
fowl populations each year, the
wildlife expert explains. The
Surveys nationwide network of
refugees, which play an important
part in the restoration of water
fowl, were selected, in part, on
knowledge of where the birds go
during the flights north and south
each spring and fall
The four major flyways were
worked out by Survey scientists
studying flights by birdbanding
methods. In Florida there are
now A birdbanding stations in
operation.
Study Big-Game Populations
Wildlife surveys, declared Mr..
Greene, are invaluable as indexes
of trends in mammal populations.
They serve, for one thing, to let
you know how the balance sheet,
so to speak, stands Knowing
population trends is important if
one is to ELAN wise conservation

Spain About To Enter War On Side of Rome-Berlin Axis to Permit
 German Troops Attack Gibraltar

UNDATED, Sep. 26 (P) - Ev- ents shaped rapidly toward the entry of Spain into the war on the side of the Rome-Berlin axis, apparently to permit the attack on Britain's citadel of Gibraltar, by German troops passing thru Spain.
 Berlin reported that the in- clusion of Japan in globe girdl ing axis program also appeared in the offing as counter to the possible closer British and Am erican collaboration, making four-to-one combination against Britain's lone stand.
 The Fascist press spoke openly of Spain's present role as "pre- beliigerent" as Count Ciano left Berlin to conclude diplomatic negotiations bearing on the re- ported collaboration of Spain with the axis powers. Informed quarters in Rome pointed to the fall of Gibraltar which guards the west gate of the Mediteran- mean Sea and enable German troops to cross the narrow strait of Gibraltar to North Africa, thus facilitating the axis powers widely heralded program of

interfere in the east or Asia"
 This diplomatic stroke bring ing Japan into the fold as the potential full-f1edged military ally against Britain was carried out amid an elaborate ceremony in Hitler's chancellery while the streets of Berlin were splashed with flags.
 The Italy, Germany and Japan pact also provided for the main- tenance of the status quo of Rus sia and specifically stated that Japan recognizes and respects the axis powers determination to create a new order in Europe with the Rome-Berlin duo agree ing similarly regarding Japan's expansion in the Orient.
 Hitler witnessed the signing of the pact which was in effect a blunt "hanas off, warning to the United States against their entry or participation either in the con- ficts in Europe or in the far east.

 Other developments in the in ternational picture broke swiftly as Great Britain, smarting under the withdrawal from Dakar, af- ter a three day naval seize, sent her bombers to Berlin in the longest raid of the war on the German capital.
 Authorized French quarters in Vichy said heavy damage was inflicted on the British battle squadron at Dakar which made it impossible for the British to continue the attack without re- Enforcement from fleet units needed elsewhere. The French admiralty reported that three British warships were hit at Ds- Iar - the 29,O00 ton battleship Resolution; the 31,000 ton battle ship Barham; the 10000 ton heavy cruiser Kent, in addition to the 32,O00 ton battle cruiser Renown which was reported bad " damaged by a direct bomb hit during the French air raid on Gibraltar.
