The taking of testimony in the

pm. due to difficulty in impan-
cling a jury. Both the defense,
represented by Howard A. Nc
Donnell and John Sekul of Biloxi,
and the state, represented by Dis
trict Attorney Luther Naples and
County Attorney L. X. Mcintosh
used up most of their challenges
before a jury acceptable to beth
sides was sworn in.
Forest Newkirk, negro bell
boy at the hotel. told how Bo-
sarge had come into the hotel on
the night in question and asked
for a room for himself and wife.
He said Bosarge asked for a ham
mer, saying he had a tack in his
shoe. Unable to find the hammer,
the bellboy said he gave him a
screwdriver but later the man
came back and said he needed a
hammer or a flat piece Of iron TO
extract the tack. Newkirk testi-
fled that although they searched
they were unable to find anything
satisfactory and after saying
goodnight Bosarge had returned
TO his room.
The night clerk at the hotel,
Roger Rousset. testified to giving
Bosarge a room and two taxi
drivers. Dennis Dortez and
George Hardy, told of taking Boz
sarge as a fare the night in ques-
ton and Hardy testified that he
had driven Bosarge and the girl
to the hotel and left them.

REAL ESTATE COOPERATING
TO WORK WITH OPA

The newly organized Maryland
OPA Real Estate Cooperating Com
mittee has sent a special bulletin to
all members of the real estate and
building trades industry inviting sug-
gestions and requesting support in it's
proposed work. The committee, form
ed recently in the Office of OPA State
Director Leo H. Mccormick, will
function in an advisory capacity in
OPA Price Control programs affect
ing the building industry.
Probably the first such overall
state group in the country, the com
mittee is headed by John McC. Now
bray, president of the Real Estate
Board of Baltimore and also of the
Roland Park Company. Its members
include men prominent in the indus
try, who, as stated in their bulletin,
"have accepted membership in this
committee because we feel that we
can be of real service to the inlustry
in which we make our living by SER
wing as a Real Estate Cooperating
Committee, with the State Office of
the OPA." 1t is planned to expand
the committee to provide statewide
representation.

ALL AUTO RATIoNING ENDED

All rationing of automobiles has
come to an end, the Maryland OPA
State Office emphasized, following
inquiries which continue to come in
although previous announcement has
been made in press and radio that
there would no longer be any ration
restrictions on the sale of new cars.
Price controls remain.
In their announcement on October
29 of the termination of car ration
ing, Chester Bowles, OPA Admins
tration and j. A. Krug, WPB Chair
man, agreed that with 24,000,000
cars on the road and new car produc-
ton started, there was no further
danger of a general breakdown of
automtive transportation.
Mr. Bowles pointed out that some
people will be inconvenienced be-.
cause they cannot get new cars rigkt
away, and urged dealers everywhere
to give special consideration to un-
usual hardship cases.

PENNSYLVANIA PASSES ANTI
DIVERSION LAW

With Pennsylvania safely among
the anti-diversion States as a result
of Good Roads Constitutional
Amendment at the November 6 cleo
ton, Keystone Automobile Club
looks forward to the day when the
voters of Maryland take similar ac-
ton to protect motorists tax contri-
buttons.
George E. Keneipp, Manager of
the Club in Maryland, believes the
success of the Pennsylvania cam
paign will unquestionably have salu-
tary effect on similar movements
here and in adjoining states.
"a solid block of anti-diversion
States in the East-including New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia and Ohio-would as
sure" he said, Gin the years to come
a superb system of highways not pos
sible when diversion is an ever-pre-
sent threat and the total of funds for
road building is ever subject to legis-
lative expediency."
Pennsylvania is the seventeenth
State to paddock it's motor funds by
means of amendment to the Consti-
tuition. The others are: California,
Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Minnesota, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Nevada, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Oregon, South Da-

WANTED
GOING TO THE ARMY-NAVY
GAME?

Going to the Army-Navy game in
Philadelphia December L?
If you are among the 100000 or
more football enthusiasts who expect
to attend this great sports event,
keystone Automobile Club advises
you to plan your transportation care
fully There are more complications
this year than ever before, the Club
warns, enumerating them as follows:
1. No special trains will carry visit
ors direct to the Municipal Stadium
this year. In former years $4,000
spectators, or about one-third of the
huge crowd, were given accommoda-
ton.
2. Parking facilities at TIE stadium
are not sufficient for the number Of
vehicles whic hwould be required to
handle the railroad orphans" if all
pla nto go to Philadelphia by auto
mobile.
3. Public transportation facilities
subway, bus, trolleys and taxis-
will be able to meet the emergency
if streets in the vicinity of the Sta
dunn are not congested by an over
flow of private cars from the Stadium
parking spaces.
Visitors going to Philadelphia by
train are advised by the Club to use
the Broad Street Subway from the
North Philadelphia Station. 1t will
carry the INTO Snyder Avenue, where
thew will transfer to buSSes for a
short ride to the Stadium.
Visitors who go by automobile are
advised to either drive to the Sta
dunn parking spaces early-say two
hours before the game-or garage or
park their cars uptown and use pub
lie transportation to the Stadium.
1t is estimated that 10000 automo-
biles will carry spectators to Phila-
delphia-but Stadium parking facili-
ties will not accommodate much
more than half tkis number.

DUCKS AND GEESE

The season of migration for wild
fowl is now at its. height. Literally
millions of geese and ducks and re-
lated water birds at this time are on
the wing from their northern breed
ing range, quite largely in Canada, to
the warmer waters of the middle and
lower Atlantic Coast, the Gulf of
Mexico, and even the waters of South
America. Man has not been able to
figure out the reaction on the part of
these birds that impels them to take
to the air and travel long distances
to accomplish their survival. For
lack Of better explanation, he terms
tl;is driving force instinct" BY this
he means, perhaps, that the animals
are seized by strong urge inherited
from their ancestors, thus explaining
why young birds fly for long dis
tances over uncharted courses which
they have not previously negotiated,
find successful wintering conditions
and, upon the return of warmer
weather in late March and April, re-
verse the fight to reoccupy TIE
grounds of their nativity. A round
trip of one of our birds covers up
ward of $1,000 miles.
Chesapeake Bay and it's tributaries
constitute an outstanding water sys-
tenn from the viewpoint of resting
and feeding grounds in the fight of
wild fowl. Its brackish waters that
rarely freeze afford an ample supply
of animal and plant foods for the
winter visitors, thus they concentrate
here in millions and many of them
spend the entire winter in the waters
of the region.
The Susquehanna Flats, at the
head of the Bay, are especially abun-
dainty supplied with wild fowl, NOT
only because of the animal life upon
which many forms feed, but because
of the abundance of plant life, es-
pecially wild celery, which represents
one of the choicest foods of the can
vas-back and certain other birds. AS
hunting ground, the Flats are rec
ognized as outstanding the world
world over.
Not all ducks found in Maryland
duck, the mallard and tie green
winged teal breed in rather large
numbers throughout the Chesapeake
area and in the coastal waters of
Worcester County, together with
those of Virginia. Through regula-
tions which make possible escape
ment of brood stock and, equally i'm
portant, through the preservation of
breeding areas, the number of wild
fowl has greatly increased during til,
past few years, though with some re.
cession during the last season.
The wild fowl resource is definitely
on the upgrade and under continued
wise use and proper management
there would seem to be little reason
why ducks and geese should not be
perpetuated as a choice heritage for
future generations, while affordins
| fine recreation for the general public.
In dollar and cents, wild fowling is a
valuable Maryland industry and the
Fish and Wildlife Service and the
State Game Department need fullest
possible cooperation from .sportsmen
and those who live in the hunting
| areas-those close to the situation.

HOW TO BECOME A GOOD WING
SHOT

Every beginner taking up the shot
gun for tie first time should remem-
ber tkese rules: /. Keep both eyes
open. 2. Swnig that gun. 3. Shoot
fast. 4. Keep cool. If he bears them
in mind, and if he applies them, he
will become pretty fair wing shot
without too much trouble.
To make these rules work in learn
ing the pleasant sport of wing shoot
ing, the beginner should cultivate the
habit of self-analysis. The acquiring
of skill in any sport is matter oi
the brain as we'll as of tie eyes and
the muscles. "Why did l miss that
bird" he should ask himself. Was
it too far away? Did l stop my
swing2 Was l too slow i'll getting
the shot off? Did fire in panic with
out really pointing?" Rule No. 5
might be added here: Use your brain.
Analyze your shots. Misses teach as
much as hits. Possibly they teach him
more.
After learning tke fundamentals of
shotgun shooting (practice at targets
thrown from trap is the best way tt
do it) the beginner is well on the
way to mastering the art of wing
shooting.

Telephone Operator Goes
"All Out To Locate G. |.

Hunting a soldier by telephone with
nothing more to go by than his name
and his last known camp is much lik,
hunting for that well-known needle in
a haystack, but long distance tele-
phone operators sometimes have to do
just that.
A man in Chicago had to locate his
soldier nephew in a hurry when there
was an emergency in the boys FAM
lily. He placed call to the boys
camp, after telling the operator Of it's
emergency, but found that the lad
was away on three-day pass. What
to do next was the question? Then
the operator asked the uncle if he
knew where the boy might be visiting.
A call to Washington, D. c., produced
no luck; then a call to town in
North Carolina, and still another call
to town in Virginia, and still the
operator was unable to locate the boy.
Finally, the uncle told of one more
place-New York City. This would
have meant real hunt, but he was
able to supply enough information
about where his nephew might be-
and sure enough the boy was found
and the uncle got his message
through.
Later, in writing to the telephone
company, he said "This sympathetic
and courteous service when the lines
are heavily taxed is regular service,
Pm told. However, it seems to me it
should have recognition. This oper-
ator certainly deserves credit for the
about help she gave me-"
