It's Tough Forecasiing Ohio Game,
Department Predicts There's More

Estimating the annual kill OF
pheasants and rabbits, and de-
termining the approximate pop
ulation in the field before part
ocular hunting season is big
headache to conservation officials.
! If the conservation administrat-
ion predicts good hunting, those
hunters whose bags are light COM
plain that it's just a scheme to sell
more licenses. If, on the other
hand, the prediction leans toward
skinny season and the Com
mission sets regulations to pro-
tect the brood stock, then there's
complaining about unnecessary
restrictions imposed upon the
hunting public.
The Ohio Conservation Com
mission, dissatisfied with the old
methods of guessing at game
populations refused last June to
set game seasons, bag limits and
other regulations until every
known means of determining
game populations were employed.
Research Unit Makes Survey
The Commission asked the Ohio
Wildfire Research Unit of Ohio
State University to make "a sur
vey of the populations using ac-
eurate methods of checking and
report to the Commission its find
ings, which would be used in de-
termining what the rules and re-
gulations for the 1948 season
would be. The Commission de-
layed setting the regulations Of
ficially until the September
meeting although it meant sac
rificing the distribution of law
digests at the time hunting licen-
ses went on sale.
The report presented to the
Commission by the Wildlife Re-
search Unit included in part the
following information from which
hunters themselves may make
their own predictions for the l948
hunting season.
The report shows that in 1947
approximately 20 percent of
Ohio's hunters engaged in pleas
ant hunting and harvested some
$4,000 birds, 80 per cent less than
in 1946. Nesting surveys in Henry
and Wood counties showed that
the population in these two
counties was less than one-third
of that of 1910. The 1948 nesting
study indicated 80 per cent in
crease in the number of nests re-
ported by farmers in moving hay.
On this basis this local population
of pheasants would have increas-
ed to 40 per cent of the pre-war
level.
Reports of Protection
On a statewide basis Ohio
game protectors reported seeing
1863 pheasants per 1000 miles of
driving in August of 1948 COM
pared with 43 per 1000 miles in
the 1947 survey.

HERE'S PROOF
MUNDT.NIx0N BILL
WOULD HIT kAACP

WASHINGTON, May II. GAN
P)-Any doubt that the NAACP
would be hard hit by the Mundt-
Nixon anti-communist bill now
before congress was dispelled last
week when the house discussed
the resolution for regional col
leges in the south.
When Rep. Marcantonio told the
house that the NAACP opposed
the regional college idea, Rep.
Rankin leaped to his feet and i'm
mediately charged the association
was a Communist front organiza-
ton" that does not represent the
better element of the Negroes in
this country"
Rankin, whose slick work re-
vived the un-American committee
when the 10th congress convened
in 1915, is one of the key figures
in this committee now headed by
Rep. j. Parnell Thomas, and had
a hand in writing the Mundt-Nix-
on measure aimed at destroying
all organizations classed as "com-
munist fronts" It's passage would
give Rankin and similar politicians
a means of blocking the NAACP
and other groups working for Ne
gro advancement.

Falls From Trolley,
Wins $4,000

PHILADELPHIA, May Is. "a
NP)-A Common Pleas court ury
awarded $4,000 to 1~2-year-old
Joan Grove last Wednesday when
her suit for personal damages was
heard before Judge Byron A. Mil
ner. Little Joan's parents sued the
Philadelphia Transit company in
Novembeg 1916, when the child
fell from a trolley. The motorman
is said to have retracted the steps
and moved the car before the child
could reach the ground.
AS a result of hip INJURIES and
bruises Joan was hospitalized for
four months in the Women's Col
lege hospital and three additional
months in Graduate hospital. She
underwent three operations and
lost two years from school.
The court was asked to award
the child substantial damages for
the INJURIES which will affect her
for many years to come. She has
suffered a shortening of one of
her legs and she limps lightly.
Philadelphia Transit lawyers
disputed the testimony of eye wit
nesses but the court awarded $780,
900 to Joan and $4,000 to her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Grove.
Attorney for the child was Ray
mon Pace Alexander.

PORTSMOUTH, Va, May 10.
(ANP)-One Negro woman and
the white women connected with
the same case were convicted and
given suspended sentences in the
Circuit court of Norfolk county,
Va, on charges growing out OF
an abortion case last week.
Mrs. Pinkie Toxey, 42-year-old
Oak Grove resident, was given a
three year suspended sentence on
a charge of attempted abortion.
She was also placed on a five

Defeat Mundt Bill
NAACP Board Urges

NEW YORK, May 17.-Defeat
of the Mundt bill to control sub
versive activities was urged by the
board Of directors of the NAACP
at it's regular monthly meeting
here last week. Terming the bill
"a threat to all organizations en-
gagged in the effort to obtain full
citizenship rights for all Ameri-
can citizens" the resolution said
that the bill $50 loosely defines
the term 'subversive' a possibly to
bring within it's scope such an or
ganization as the NAACP as we'll
as progressive trade unions and
other organizations which fight
for full citizenship rights for mi
norities."
The NAACP board charged
that the bill "establishes a new
standard for determining what is
subversive. Heretofore this deter
mination has been made by the
courts on the basis of overt acts.
Under this bill opinions, attitudes
and associations may subject one
to the charge of participating in
subversive activities"

House To Act
On Lynch Bill

Speaker of the House Joe Mar
tin (Rep. Mass.), said today the
house bill will pass the anti-lynch
bill legislation if the senate does.
eff the senate passes it, we will
act on it," We can pass it in a
day. In fact, we could get a two
thirds vote to suspend the rules
and pass it with 40 minutes de-
bate" His statement came after
Senator Taft (Rep. o., chair
man of the senate's Republican
policy committee, said the senate
may take up the anti-poll tax bill
already approved b ythe house be-
fore it tackles an anti-lynch bill.
The policy committee had an
nounced earlier that the first SEN
ate test on civil rights legislation
would be made on an anti-lynch
bill. Any civil rights measure is
such to touch off hot debate in
the senate and bring on threat of
a filibuster by southerners.
A bill to make lynching a fed
eral offense has been approved by
the house judiciary committee, and
is on the house calendar.
