The American Wildnfe Institute
an organization whose sole purpose
Is the furthering of wildlife conser-
vation through research and educa-
ton, has publicized many books, but
none so beneficial as THE Ducks,

lea"
At present the book is obtainable
through the institute here in Wash
ngton. It soon will be in all book
stores.
License Revenues Heavy.
Previous to the opening of the va
r1ous hunting seasons, officials in
most every State were predicting a
sharp falling off in license revenues,
which are used to restock game and
pay wardens' salaries.
With the advent OF the early
squirrel season the number of L.
censes sold everywhere was above
the number sold in other years. The
general hunting seasons only added
to the record sale until it appeared
as though every one was bent upon
hunting.
Oddly enough, however, hunters
were fewer, but the kill has mounted
to surprising figures.
In Maryland the final tabulation
is being made. The all-time high Of
$4,000 sold last year will 60 to better
than 100000 this season. The 1888
blind and 104 sneakbox licenses
might easily be doubled, as no doubt
will be the 693 four-day licenses for
duck hunting. But surprising as
might be the sale Of licenses and
game kill for the season in Mary
land, the trend is the same In all
other nearby States.

OUTDOORS
WildIife Institutes New Publication
Of InestimobIe Value to WiIdfowIer

So many sports books, and good
ones, too. have been coming from
the presses recently that 1t is diff
cult to keep up with them. There
could not, however, have been a
more propitious time, for large num-
bers of fishermen-and nimrods, too
during the coming year will find
reading about their favorite pas
times the only way possible to fol-
low them.
One crammed from cover to cover
with pertinent information is the
recent publication OF the American
Wildlife Institute, by F. H. Kort-
right, entitled The Ducks, Geese
and Swans of North America"
There never has been book on
waterfowl to compare with it, for it
approaches our migratory hordes
from the viewpoint of the Wild
fowler.
Book Valuable to Hunter.
There is none of the dryness of
the purely technical writing, but a
wealth of information concerning
the ways. breeding habits and sea-
sonal dress Of the various species.
1t is the one book which makes it
possible for the new gunner to know
and identify any and all species as
easily as does the finished sports
man.
The color plates depicting winter
and autumn plumage are the most
complete we ever have seen, but in
addition there are the life stories of
each species, noting the breeding
grounds and migratory routes, sex
and age determination, scientific
nomenclature and the failings and
strong points Of the different breeds.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20-Food man
ufactuers spending more than
Sl00,000G00 annually on advertising
have agreed to convert voluntarily
a large amount of this space to an
explanation of the Governments S
food problems this year, Gardner
CoWles, jr., Owl director of domes-
tic operations, announced through
the OPA office here today.
The Government thinks that the
food question needs strong adver-
tising campaign behind it." Mr..
CoWleS said, "and since the Govern
ment has no advertising appropria-
ton for the cause, we have asked
the food advertisers to devote
substantial portion of their space to
the campaign.
1--WE feel that the public looks to
the advertiser as an authority on
food and will cooperate in the
messages set forth
Mr.. CoWles' announcement fol-
lowed a meeting yesterday with
food manufacturers and their ad-
vertlSing representatives to present
the Government programs and find
a way to tie in advertising space
to the problems.
AS previously outlined, the pro-
gram includes six points. They
are:
point rationing; 2-the over
all l943 food problem; 3-the l943
farm products goal; 4-Victory
gardens; 5-nutrition and food con-
servation and, 6-farm manpower.
After preliminary explanations of
the point rationing system which
OPA will institute after freezing"
all food items on the new list for
week beginning next Monday, the
advertisers have been asked to con-
centrate on Victory garden and
home canning processes-almost di-
rectly in competition with their own
products.
The Agriculture Department. it
was announced, has determined
that supplies of jars and closures
for canning will be sufficient to
supply all Victory gardeners. Also,

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-President
Roosevelt. in letter published to-
night by the Post-Dispatch, said
we have now turned the corner in
the war and there is an important
job Of education TO be done so that
the tragedy of war will not come
again"
The letter commended the news
paper on the occasion of its start
ing series of articles on What
Are We Fighting For?" The articles
are designed to encourage and
clarity public thinking about the
postwar world.
There cannot be too much dis
cussion of this kind. and there could
not be a better time for it," Mr..
Roosevelt wrote.
Fighting for Freedom.
This is particularly true because
after the long months of prepara-
ton, Of holding on we have now
turned the corner in the war. Our
primary job in those early days was
survival; we had to beat the ag-
greSsors back. Now that we are
on the march toward ultimate vic
tory, there is an important job of
education to be done so that the
tragedy Of war will not come again.
We are fighting for freedom-not
only for ourselves but for all people
everywhere"
Vice President Wallace, who also
wrote the newspaper. said the vast

tinued, that the Axis, after being
thoroughly whipped in a military
sense, may still be able to employ

to enable it TO win the peace"
Public consideration of postwar
obIectlves will be helpful in finding
a formula for world peace, he de-
clared. even though the governments
of the United Nations could not
now discuss "details of political and
economic justice which we are de-

StringfelloW Barr, president of St.

running fight with 10 German tanks
to save an American column Of light
vehicles from destruction, and de-
stroyed four Mark Tvs before the
crew was forced to leave their own
shell-riddled and flaming tank.
Their act which, in one soldiers
estimate. saved 300, American lives,
was hailed by officers and men alike
as one Of the most gallant engage
mentS Of the African war.
The tank which single handed
fought German column, including
one 52-ton Mark VI to a standstill.
was named The Texas" and the
battle it put up was a little Alamo"

The action took place February

bered more than two to one, tangled
with more than 100 German tanks.
Foes Move Thwarted.
The United States tanks suffered
severe losses in both men and

Individual Consumer
Key 10 Black Market,
0PA Chiefs Believe
Hope of Ending Illegal
SIuuehterine Pinned
On Injunction Suits
BY tie Associated Press.

AS the Office of Price Administra-
ton sees it. the black market is 60
ing to boil down to the individual
consumer.
1t already does in many cases, and
as soon AS meat rationing goes in
effect in about a month. the con-
tinued presence of the black market
in meat will depend largely on every
one who buys meat, OPA officials
said.
AS Washington got steamed up
about the meat situation last week,
Federal officials in Chicago, center
of the Nations livestock trade, said
that Illicit country Slaughtering of
meats would be halted within 10
days by the filing of more than 100
injunction suits against country
slaughterers and meat wholesalers.
81 Injunctions Issued.
Alex Elson. regional attorney for
OPA, said that 81 injunctions had
already been issued in several cities
in the Midwest.
OPA officials in Chicago an
nounced these measures after the
American Meat Institute, an asso-
citation of packers, said, that "a
considerable number of meat pack
erS shortly will be forced out of
business" as a result of the opera
tions of city racketeers and unre-
strained rural butchers.
Mr.. Elson said he had no COM
m
Capone syndicate, which f1ourished
in the prohibition era, had entered
the black market.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the
meat racket was reported to be
adopting such devices to evade price
restrictions as phony side bets, out
right gifts, "up-grading" of meats
and forced sub-leases of retail out
lets.
Reports of huge amounts of meat
diverted to the black market
throughout the country led OPA
Director Prentiss M. Brown to call
it a serious menace to the war
program"
Wilbur La Roe, jr., counsel for the
National Independent Meat Packers
Association, said the evils of the
black market in meat are far worse
and far more extensive than those
under prohibition"
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
acknowledged it was very serious"
Black Markets Spreading.
Thomas E. Wilson, Chicago, speak
Ing as one Of the big packers, de-
clared that black markets in meat
are spreading rapidly and becom-
ing serious threat to adequate
supplies for the armed forces and
the Allies.
OPA announced that in the last
three weeks more than 800 individu-
ais and firms had been arrested,
indicted, or sued in civil proceedings
for violation of meat regulations.
Action has been taken in cities
throughout the country, and close
to l 500 OPA investigat tors have been
put full time on the meat beat.
The, OPA angle on the black
market generally is that it prac-
tically doesn't exist with sugar and
coffee because the sources of supply
are closely controlled, and that, with
tires and gasoline, it is being checked |
through vigorous action.
Mr.. Brown announced a CON
centrated and continued enforce
ment drive against the black mar
ket in meat, which is the big one

down in the distribution system for

Jobbers out of business, and devel-
opment Of black market practices
were reported today by traders in
the South Water Street Market, the
Nations largest potato center.

In its official daily report, said the

said it was chaotic. They blamed
Office of Price Administration cell
ings and heavy potato buying by the
Army III producing areas, but en-
phasized there was no shortage OF

came across nine Mark Wis and one
Mark VI about TOO yards away
opening fire on one Of our columns
of half tracks and light vehicles
which were completely helpless be-
fore them.
Nazi Commanders Tank Hit.
The guns on the other medium
tank were jammed and since the
light tanks were too thinly ar
mored for the task before us, I sent
all three away and signalled the
column Of our light vehicles to
swing behind the Texas.
AS the Germans turned in for
what they thought was a picnic, we
let go and struck their comman-
derS tank with our third shot, STOP
ping him as cold as if he had hit
tree.
I'VE got a second tank with one
shot
The eight remaining Nazi tanks
then braked to stop, but we kept
going at about IA miles an hour,
hiring steadily as we pulled away.
We hit one tank three times before
discovering that it was a Mark VI.
l saw the last shell burst against
him but don't know whether he was
disabled. However, he didn't fire
any more.
AS another Mark " came up to
MIN, we hit it at the same range
with one shot. 1t went through the
turret and the tank broke into
flame like flower.
Another Mark w approached the
burned tank-which was stupid be-
cause we had only to bring over our
gun hair-and he famed up with
our first shot. Then our gun mo-
mentarily jammed as the five re-
naming Mark Tvs really opened
up on US.
We could actually see the shells
coming along close to the pro,,nd
like ricocheting stone in water.
Shells Sounded Like Anyils.
One shell fragment came right
down the tube of our gun. but
caused no serious injury among our
crew. Another shell went through
the bogie wheels and under the tank,
tearing out the other side like a
rabbit. Another hit our turret, but
didn't penetrate Then a shell
struck our suspension system.
Each she'll hitting sounded like
a giant anvil or tremendous bell.
1t made your ears ring. AS soon
as our gun was unjammed. we be-
gan firing again, but another shell
mashed the bottom of our left rear
gas tank and flaming gasoline
Spurted over the back of our tank
It's tracks, and on the ground about
us.
L shouted to my boys: Now is
the time to git , We boiled out of
there like peas from a hot pod be-
fore the tank had stopped running
we dodged behind the tank and kept
1t between us and the Germans.
After walking couple of miles we
fxed up half-track we found
abandoned, picked up soldier with
a broken hip nearby, loaded him in
and drove on.
We came to another tank which
some of our fellows were about to
destroy because of engine trouble.
We put it back in shape. Our crew
got in and we picked up our con-
Voy of half-tracks and jeeps and
came on home.
Il hated like hell to lose that
tank Of mine. They even burned
up the Lone Star State flag flying
from my antenna."
Gunner Bayer, 81, of La Porte,
Ind, said Il still have a score to
settle with those birds and I am
going back to get some more"
He carried his pet Arab pup,
named Texas, jr., which the crew
picked up while leaving the battle
field.
