Maryland Rescinds
Rule Allowing Ducks
To Be Shot From Boats
B. the Associofed Press

BALTIMORE. Oct. 25.-Duck
shooting from -rowboats will be
illegal in Maryland's small streams
this year despite an earlier regula-
ton permitting this form of hunting.
The regulation was rescinded yes
terday after a stormy public hearing
for hunters and marsh owners held
before the State Game and Inland
Fish Commission.
About 200 duck hunters, many
from the Eastern Shore and South
ern Maryland, were present for the
two-hour hearing. The commission
voted 81 to rescind the order per
mitting hunters to shoot wild water
fowl from handpropelled boats in
streams not over 100 yards wide.
The order had been passed last
July and amended later to prohibit
such shooting within 200 yards OF
an occupied duck blind. The hearing
was called following protests.
Proponents of the ruling were
chiefly hunters with no regular
place to shoot and said the prices
charged by blind owners were
exhorbitant.
Against the ruling were owners OF
large duck shooting properties
members of private duck shooting
clubs and muskrat marsh propri-
etors, who said it would permit in
fringement of their property rights
The commission appointed a
three-man committee to examine
the present duck blind license law
to find ways to make it more equit-
able and to consider the problem
of providing more public wild water
fowl shooting areas. Named to the
committee were State Game Warden
Ernest H. Vaughn and A. Gordon
Fleet and j. D. Longfellow, members
of the Game and Inland Fish Com
mission.

age continues to result in an in
creased loss of tonnage in coal mines

ators' Association, said here yester-
day. He estimated that lost pro-
duction, which has varied from a
few thousand tons up to 10000 tons,

of the field, Mr.. Esser said, where
shortage is reported on the South

to meet all car demands.

Turkeys in Maryland
Are Fewer but Heavier
By the Associated Pres.

There are fewer turkeys, but prob
ably more turkey in Maryland this
year. With Thanksgiving only a
month away, the University OF
Maryland reports a count of the
States flocks shows only about 450,-
600 head as compared with last
years 100000. Ct
But there should be more turkey
meat, the agricultural experts say,
because there is more feed avail
able this year, making the average
turkey a little heavier than in 1945.

Urge X. X. BrOtherhOOds
To Change Rules
Rarrinp Negroes

New York, June l0-Following
vigorous denunciatiOn by the
NAACP Of President gTruman's
proposal to draft strikers into the
Army and that the President be
given sole authority TO determine
conditions on which strikers should
be drafted, the NAACP has for
warded TO A. +. Whitney, President
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, and Alvanley Johnston,
President Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, copies Of its
telegram to the President and urged
that these railroad brotherhoods
cease their anti-Negro practices.
Opposition to the Presidents
plan to use the powers Of the fed
eral government in unprecedented
fashion to break strikes was taken
by the NAACP, Messrs. Whitney
and Johnston were informed, de
spite the action Of the bTotherhoods
in excluding qualified Negroes from
membership and practicing other
discrimination based solely on race
and color. This Association seeks
always to make its judgments and
to base its actions on fundamental
principles even when, as in the rail-
road strike, the unions themselves
are guilty Of discrimination against
Negroes"
I'VE sincerely hope the
NAACP's letter continued, that
steps will be taken at the most
speedy rate to end this racial
discrimination so that when again
your union comes before the public
FOR support Of its claims, 1t can
do so with clean hands and not be in
the position Of seeking benefits
for itself which 1t denies other
American citizens"

Thomas J. Hibbs, prominent
youth leader in scouting and civic
activities, was released from the
Army Service Forces, April 10, and
is now residing at the home Of Mr..

Anthony Ave.
Mr.. Hibbs will be re-emplOyed
by the ST. Paul area Scout cOun-
eli as a member Of the camp staff
at Camp Neibel, Balsam Lake,
Wisconsin, for the summer. His
future plans are to attend the St.

Prior TO Mr. Hibbs' being induct-
ed into the Army in 1913, he
served as Council staff instructor
for the scouters' training courses,
first aid instructor, and scoutmas-
ter in St Paul. Because Of his wide
and expert experience in scouting,

Of 1913 by the council, upon recon-
mendatiOn Of the Division commit
tee.
Hibbs also served as scoutmas-

and thanks, among those a letter
Of commentator from Colonel W.

Segregation In National
Guard Opposed By NAACP
In New York State

New York, June 9Th - The
NAACP Board Of Directors struck
out against the policy Of segregated
National Guard Units in New York
State. In a letter addressed to
Brigadier-G General Amos 7. Brown,
Acknowledgement Of the State Of
New York, DR.. Louis T. Wright,
Chairman Of the Board Of Di-
rectors, stated:
This nation has Just emerged
from a life and death struggle
for the right TO exist with n
democratic form Of government.
During this struggle, the evils
Of training fighting men In seq.
regated units were fully and
clearly demonstrated. Such prac.
tees resulted in great wastage OF
the nations resources Of man
power and human skills, an in
crease Of racial tensions, and a
general lowering Of morale"
DIR. Wright went on TO say:
"As the National Guard Is pres
emily constituted our New York
youth are denied the opportunity
of gaining the invaluable and es-
sential experience Of learning,
through this state organ, that
people Of various races and creeds
can work and live together In a
spirit Of eOOpeFatiVeness and har-
mOny. Negroes cannot even be-
come members Of our National
Guard unless. they happen to re-
side in close proximity TO the New
York City area. Such discrim-
nation admittedly Is based solely
upon the race or color OF the
citizen, and accordingly Is un-
democratic and opposed to our
general public policy. To con-
tinue this policy In the state
which has heretofore led the ma
ton In progressive legislation
and social practices Ii Illogical,
unwarranted and disgraeeful."
II was strongly urged that the
Acknowledgement take immediate
steps 10 remove this discriminatory
bar Of the admission Of Negro youth
into the military service Of this
state. Copies Of this letter werS
forwarded to Governor Thomas +
Dewey with a request that he use
his office TO insure the removal Of
this discriminatory bar against Ne
RrOes Immediately.
Failing to receive any Response
from his letter, DIR. Wright PLACED
the matter into the hands Of thC
Legal Department Of the NAACP
In letter dated May 20, 1916, from
ThurgoOd Marshall, Special Coun
sci Of the NAACP, It was stated:
1--WE would like, II possible,
to remove this discriminatory bar
without the necessity Of testing
its validity In the courts Of this
state or Of our federal govern
ment."
The NAACP is determined L
continue its fight against segrega
ton In the armed forces ever
though the period Of hostilities is a
an end. II intends as one Of thu
first steps In this matter to breal
down either through the coopera
ton from New York State officer
or through the courts Of this state
such discriminatory practices i'm
mediRtely.
