Ducks 10
 BeS(arte

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-There will be fewer ducks and geese on the southward flight this year, pi- rector Ira N. Gabrielson of the Fish and Wildlife Service predicted today.
 The hunting season on migratory game birds begins September 20 in the northern zone.
 Gabrielson said last winters in- ventory of waterfowl showed de- crease of approximately 20,000,000 birds. The figures were confirmed by observers watching the migration northward this spring.
 Gabrielson said heavy kill dur ing the hunting season last year was largely responsible for the large reduction.

VETERANS GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

Of course, some veterans argue that the state law pays only maybe SIS or $16 a week-but the Federal GI Bill allows S20 a week. That can be true.
 But an unemployed ex-service man can draw say $l5 under the provis- ions of the state law and then draw an extra S5 a week from the Fed eral set-up for vets. Yet, although that's possible and legal, it isn't a good idea, because the veteran would be using up some of his all lowable weeks provided in the CT Bill-even though he wouldn't be getting the full money allowance.
 You have until two years after the end of the war to apply for your readjustment allowance if you need if

WASHINGTON - A veteran asks Do I have to be totally unemployed to draw the CT Bill unemployment pay?'
 You might think he's crazy but he's not. An ex-service man doesn't have to be completely unemployed to draw the GI Bills readjustment allowance
 Suppose he's employed part time at less than g dollars week-has a part time job that pays say IT dollars. Well, he can collect the difference each week between IT dollars and 23 dollars. That means he can get his SIT week part time pay and another $6 tom the govern ment to bring the total to $23. If he has a full time job, however, at SIT week he can't collect the eX- tra money
 But there's something the vet eran who is employed part time should know about. To get at it, I'll use an example of two ex-service women for a change WAC Mary and ex-WAVE Jane. Let's assume their length of service was the same and they're both entitled to 40 weeks of readjustment allowance. If Mary has nc job and can't find a suitable one she can draw $20 a week readjustment allowance. Jane las part time job paying SIT a week, so she can draw $6 a week readjustment allowance-the differ ence between $23 and SIT week.
 Suppose they each draw these al- lowances for 6 weeks and then get good fulltime jobs, Then both have used up full weeks of the 40 weeks they are entitled to. Yet Mary has drawn $120 in tEe same six weeks that Jane drew ony $36.
 So that's what I mean when I say there's something a party-time en- ployed veteran should know about. Each eX-service person is entitled to a certain number of weeks of read justment allowance-maximum is 52 weeks. Therefore, if a veteran puts ! i'll claim for readjustment allow ance for any week (and draws the allowance) it crosses one week off i the blackboard, even though the amount drawn is not the full week Fly allowance.
 I Most ex-service people know that many states have their own laws pro- 1 viding for unemployment compen- sation. Often it's possible for vet erans, who have no work or who lcse their job, to qualify for state unemployment compensation.
