Outdoors-The Sunday Star,
Washington, D. c..
Dear Bill: I believe we are in
accord in general, but personally I
think you err when you attempt to
blame commercial fishermen exclu-
sively for failure to conserve fish.
I admit there are many fragrant
cases of wanton waste on the part
OF commercial fishermen, but also
think the same applies to sport
fishermen.
I would appreciate your reading
my address made at the Outdoor
Writers meeting in Columbus. I
want your reactions to it. What
really want is to get leaders like
you to help gradually bring these
two groups together. I think we
can all accomplish more in the
end If every man who catches fish,
no matter what the use, joins with
all other fishermen. In addition
to reclamation, flood control, and
irrigation projects mentioned in my
speech, we also will have to fight
pollution, which seems to be grow
ing by leaps and bounds. Can't you
see that if we had the sport and
commercial fishermen lined up to-
gether to fight pollution and these
other nuisances that the fisheries
as a whole would have one strong
champion rather than that two
groups are fighting each other?
Think 1t over and write me.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLIE JACKSON.
Acting Director.

Mr.. Charles E. jackson,
Acting Director, U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Charlie: I am answering
your letter openly because I think
every one should know how right
your department is on many species
OF fish which sports fishermen be-
lieve to be solely theirs about the
matter of pollution and of flood
control, and because your depart
ment, I believe, will provide the
eventual and only satisfactory means
to perpetuate our fisheries so there
will be enough forever to supply
the commercial demands and sport
for approximately 100000 anglers.
That, OF course, means Federal
control, which you know I long have
advocated. 1t has been indicated
for at least the last rs years, so far
as our migratory species are con-
cerned, say to within 3 miles of
the beach, which still would allow
State sovereignty over the most i'm
portant waters.
If you can formulate some plan
whereby commercial fishermen will
understand the great need for con-
servation. which eventually will
mean larger catches for them and
more and better fishing for sports
anglers, I'm for it, hook, line and
Sinkpr am sire snort f1sbarroap
everywhere would go for it, too.
However, I have seen nothing to
indicate the market fisherman Is
ready for such plan. You know
I have been wandering around con-
siderably in the last nine months,
preparing information for anglers
after the war, and in doing so have
met up with many of my old bud
dies-market fishermen, who now,
more than ever before, are fishing
gear in a manner that should be

Rolls Too Few Games;
GuethIer and Santini
Staging Hot Race

For his last 81 games Joe Freschi
with an average Of 1896, has been
the top bowler in the fast District
League, but unfortunately the Ana
costa Spillway ace, due to lack OF
games rolled, is not in the running
for the 1884 championship. The
league requires a bowler to roll two
thirds Of the games during a season
and with only six more sets remain
ing Freschi will fall nine games shy
Of qualifying with total of SO.
The battle is between BIB Gueth-
Ter and Tony Santini with only seven
pins separating these Lucky Strike
teammates. For 80 games Guethler
sets the pace with 127-14, with San
tint sporting 1871 mark in the
same number of games.
Four other sharpsho hold con-
tending positions with Eddie Keith
Of Spillway third with 126-10; George
Linkins Of Clarendon, fourth, 1871;
Ed Blakeney, Hi-Skor, fifth, 1854,
and AL Wright, King Pin, sixth, 125-
81.

Spearhead in Spillways bid for
the league title, Freschi has fired
seven 400s in his last nine sets with
433 his best. During that same
stretch the Spillways have won %
games out OF ~ to take over third
place.
Guethler assumed the lead last
December when he banged out an
all-time league record set of 479 and
only once since, during the middle
OF February, when Santini put on a
hot streak, did the city's foremost
southpaw lose the top perch. Also
among his achievements is a season
high game Of l91 and nine 400 sets.
His 81 strikes give him first-place
tie with Al Wright.
On the other hand Santini's bid
for the championship probably has
been more remarkable. With only
four 400 sets to his credit and his
best string of the season 157 he has
been the acme of consistency with
sets in the 380s. Incidentally, Tony
leads the all-star loop with 345
spares.

From the start of the season
Eddie Keith has been a potent title
contender. For while it was keen

INACTIVE for the last two years,
i the wild life department Of the
American Humane Association
will again resume its militant
campaign to prevent suffering Of
wild animals.
The national program which ioas
carried on for II years, made thou
sands conscious Of their respoHsi-
bility to Dild life.
The time will probably never
come when the pelts OF fur bear
Ing animals are not In demand,
and while many of these wild
creatures are Killed 20 prevent
depredations on the food supply
OF man, others are found In the
wilds where they in no way inter
fere with mans existence.
IT is a sad fact that the very
beauty of their pelts makes them
coveted by women for personal
adornment and by man for the
warmth which they afford.
-TiiE department of the interior
Il has just reported that nearly
20,000,000 fur bearing animals
were trapped last year in Al
states and Alaska. This enormous
slaughter Of wild life for mans
comforts and pleasures places
heavy responsibilities on humane
minded men and women 10 see
that il is done in the most merci-
full manner possible.
The same principles that apply
to the conservation and protection
OF domestic animals used for food
purposes are applicable to wild
life.
We cannot. must not lose sight of
the plight Of the tur bearer because
10 Is caught IN the moods Where
few can see Whdt actually takes
place.
The associations wild life pro-
gram was, for many years aimed
to develop better trap practices
and for the production of traps
that would take animals with the
least amount of pain and suffer
ing.
The American Humane Associa-
ton will shortly be Furnishing
again and carrying on militant
campaign for the wild creatures of
