Mild weather of the last week
hasn't helped! duck hunters in the
lower Potomac or Patuxent Rivers.
The ducks still are concentrated
over on the Eastern Shore, although
the last few days some bufdeheads
and bluebills have filtered past
blinds below Morgantown and
Broome Island. However, many
gunners have spent whole days in
blinds in these areas without even
taking the safety off their guns, and
those who have fired at anything
have had to be content with only
occasional opportunities at any spe-
cies Of wildfowl that happened
along. Reports from the marshes
up the PatuXent indicate no ducks
there at all. One of our friends
spent whole day in that area
without seeing single duck, even in
the dim distance While some nice
bags have been taken along the up
per Chesapeake and the Eastern
Shore, the birds are not moving
and the greater part of our duck
ing areas are without birds. 1t is
going to take some freezing weather
up the coast and on the Susque-
hanna Flats, as well as on the Great
Lakes, before the birds come down
in sufficient quantities to force them
to spread out.
Goose hunters in Kent and Cecil
Counties in Maryland report fine
shooting, and the total bag limit
already taken from this area is i'm
preSsive.
The heavy rains of early last
summer, that played havoc with
the quail broods, also apparently
drowned out many rabbits, and
gunners are reporting quite pro-
portion of very young cottontails
seen in the fields. The quail crop,
as reported in this column, is spot
ty, with many young birds still in
evidence. Complaints about the
bumper increase in the fox popu-
lation continue to come in from
all quarters. In Calvert and st.
Marys Counties foxes have become
so plentiful that residents are up in
arms and demanding that State
game officials recognize this situa-
ton and make some plans for the
control of these predators.
The fresh-water fishing season,
except for large-mouth bass, is
about through for this year. Some
nice catches of pickerel are being
made in the Severn River and in
ponds and creeks throughout South
ern Maryland. The weather still
initiates against trolling for striped
bass in Chesapeake Bay. The fish
are there and scattered all over,
but are just not taking lures.
In recent release, an arms COM
pany advises that some lucky shoot
ers will be able to buy new rifle

Midwestern outfit. 1t probably
won't be that easy, but the Irish

Notre Dame.
Purdue-Indiana: The Hoosiers
need this victory for their first Big
Ten title. A setback would give the
crown to the winner of the Ohio
State Michigan tuSsle. Pete Pihos
will see to it that the title goes to
Bloomington. Indiana.
Ohio State Michigan: The Buck
eyes apparently have recovered from
their midseason difficulties, but the
Wolverines appear to have more
polish. Winner of this game will be
Big Ten champion if Purdue spills
Indiana. Michigan.
Penn Picked Over Lions.
Cornel-Pennsylvama: Cornells
team, revamped after the November
l Navy transfers, still has too many
rough edges. Pennsylvania.
North Carolina Duke: A neigh
borhood brawl in which past per-
formances mean nothing. Duke,
however, is the only college team to
score twice on Army this year.
Therefore, Duke.

st. Mary's last week, but should
have enough zip left to repeat their
early season win over the Bears.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Unbeaten
Army and Navy are idle this week
looking ahead to their champion
ship game in Philadelphia on De-
cen1ber 1, thus giving the other col
lege teams in the Nation better
chance to hit the football headlines
tomorrow.
Perhaps the outstanding game of
this last big Saturday of the 1945
season is the Purdue Indiana clash
in the Western Conference. A VIC
tory would give unbeaten Indiana
Its first Big Ten title.
Should the Hoosiers tumble, the
championship laurels would go to
the winner of the Ohio State
Michigan fray, another of the aft
ernoon's foremost games.
Also striving for championship
honors will be Pennsylvania, which
can take the so-called Ivy, League
title by whipping Cornell in the SD
renewal of their long series: Mis-
souri,, which can win the Big Six
honors by defeating Kansas, and
Duke, which can retain the South

Sorry Spectacle

Contending that Congress and the War Pro-
duction Board have legalized the so-called
conference method of initiating railroad rates
during the war, R. V. Fletcher, of Washing
ton, D. c., Vice-President of the Association
of American Railroads, in commenting on
the Department Of Justices antitrust suit
against the railroads, says:
This is no time for either public or private
agencies to require an essential industry to
answer charges based upon narrow and
technical Interpretation of the law.
II measure my words when 1 say that it is a
tragic thing for men to be charged with viola
ton OF law by reason Of their doing what the
highest authority in the government has ap-
proved as being essential to the war effort and
in the public interest
1.-THE Association of American Railroads
time of war, when it is necessary for the War
and Navy departments to secure rate ad-
justments upon short notice, the Association
has been functioning as a part OF an overall
rate authority with power to make changes
IN rates applicable to military traffic when the
ends OF justice require prompt action.
Yet the Justice Department seeks the dis
solution Of the Association Of American Rail-
roads at time when without some central
organization, we would have repetition of
what happened in the First World War, when,
as result Of COMPOSITIONS, conflicting orders
and confusion, the war effort was enormously
retarded -
The action Of the Justice Department IN its
attack upon the railroads, is, in effect, di-
rect attack on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. 1t is a sorry spectacle in a nation
which is given its lives and its wealth to per-
petuate American ideals of justice, liberty

A Constructive Program

The nations leading insurance organizations
recently held a conference to work out
legislative program for the consideration OF
Congress- designed to fill the gap left by the
Supreme Court decision declaring insurance
to be interstate commerce, thus multiplying the
existing system of state regulation.
The program is based on the beliefs: ID
That insurance regulation should be vested IN
the states exclusively, as it had been for rs
years. because the public interest would be
best served thereby; % That regulation by the
Federal government or by both Federal gov
eminent and the states was not in the public
interest; 90 That prompt action by Congress
to authorize continuation of such state regula.
