Lausche Vetoes
Quail Change Act

Although both houses Of the
Ohio Legislature approved re-
turning the Bobwhito quail to
game bird classification, Gov
ernor Frank J. Lausche vetoed
the measure last week. The Gov
ernor's veto was not sustained,
however, both the state Senate
and House Of Representatives ap-
proved the bill over his veto
Friday.
In his veto message, the Gov
ernor declared the bill would add
nothing to existing statues under
which the Division of Conserva-
ton already has power to spend
money for quail study and propa-
cation.
He also charged that the bill
eventually would lead to placing
the quail on the game bird list for
shooting purposes.
Since 1913 the qauil has been
classed officially as a songbird in
Ohio and nearly every session Of
the legislature has battled with
the problem Of whether or not to
make the quail a game bird or
leave it as songbird.
Sportsmen claimed that in ev-
cry other state the quail is q

Coleman Beats Herbrand
Hurler But LOEeS In
League Battle

Despite the fact that they col
lected nine hits off Tug" Emery
and had several good scoring op-
portunities, Port Clinton's Down
town Coaches baseball team was
defeated by the Herbrands in Ere
mont, 2 to 0, Sunday afternoon.
AS this marked the 18th vic
tory against one defeat for the
Fremont team, the Ottawa County
League championship belongs to
the Herbrands. Port Clinton, in
second place, has won eight games
and lost four, and cannot tie the
Fremont nine.
Sundays defeat was tough
one for the hard fighting Coach
es. Ray Coleman allowed only
four hits and had a far better
record than Emery, but the Coach
es failed to hit with men on base.
Fremont scored its two runs in
the fifth inning. With men on
second and third, Nick Oprie dou-
bled to shove John Adams and
Earl Baker across the plate.
Adams had singled and Baker re-
ceived one of the two walks given
by Coleman.
After the fifth inning, Coleman
did not permit another hit. His
teammates touched Emery for
safeties in nearly every inning.
They had the bases loaded in the
seventh, but failed to score. Again
in the ninth inning, Port Clinton
had men on second and third when
Emery finally got the third out.

Duck Stamps To Be
Doubled In Cost

Action on the much debated
Federal Duck Stamp Bill has been
delayed again. When the bill was
reached on the House Consent Cal
endar on July lS it was for the
second time passed over without
prejudice on the request of Con-
gressman John w. Byrnes, of Wis
conSin.
This means that the bill retains
its status on the Calendar and will
be reached again on the next call
expected early this week.
The measure, which increases
the duck stamp from $1.0O to
$500 was passed by the Senate on
June 2l, reported favorably TO the
House on June % and passed over
without prejudice on July 6 and
again on July Is.
There is little opposition to the
bill from the people who buy the
stamps.

rector Delmar Dawes, couple OF
old film writer's who moved up in
the world, or at least in the Holly
wood hierarchy, have tried hard
to avoid ALL the cliches of sit
uation such as this.
They have accomplished some
thing by dressing their Cinderella
in shorts, which she wears with
distinction. After all, this is get
ting away from the excessive
stress previously laid On Clnde-
rella's feet. They also have i'm
proved Niven's Prince Charming
by making him a hero who recog-
nizes instantly that this is no girl
to leave sitting by fire.
The incident they have invented
to illustrate what improvements
a pretty girl can achieve in the
personality of piano prodigy rep
PRESENTS another struggle against
the trite. Not successful one, but
a struggle.
One of the ideas they have
come up with is sending the prissy
pianist, his girl friend and all the
children of the apartment house
on a hike into the country. Here
tofore, the, concert artist has
thought of the country merely as
something a man passed through
on his way from one concert hall
to the next. He learns differently
by being caught in an animal snare
and finding himself swaying
finally in the top of treacher-
ously small tree.
Another thought the authors
have had for laughs in their pic
ture involves having the pianist
do his six to ten hours day OF
practice next door to a day-sleep-
ing tenant who is the only unde-
sirable human on the premises.
The possibilities of this and the
Evening star., 1949-04-01

made the Cinderella legend OBJ
solete.
In making this version of it,
Warner Bros. tossed up an ad-
ditional safeguard in the form OF
Jane Wyman as the Cinderella
girl. Miss Wyman who has just
won an Academy award is counted
upon to have an additional i'm
mediate magic about her to help
such a picture along. There may
be a thimbleful of logic in this
despite the fact that her current
role is as different from Johnny
Belinda" as the Russians try TO be
from the rest of the world.
She is required this time to
combine a kind of wistful charm
with a neat appearance in play
suits, a trick that might stymie
some Academy award winners,
but not Jane.
Miss Wyman's chief collabora-
tors in "A Kiss in the Dark" are
David Niven and Victor Moore.
What they are up to is acting
out a stock fable which concerns
a real American girl and a clois-
tered concert pianist. Niven as the
musical maestro is the fragile sort
pampered and protected, who has
played himself into neurosis In
a chain of Constitution Halls.
What the poor devil needs is di-
version and the script comes up
with just the thing in the form OF
small Morningside Heights
apartment house, bought with
boxoffice receipts. AS any aloot ar
tist might be, Niven is surprised
to find any such item as this
among his investments. He is even
more surprised when Miss Wyman,
his prettiest tenant, and Moore,
the apartment manager, insist
that he take an interest in the
property and its occupants.

"A MAN doesn't have to be crazy

if he were one it would save him a

of names of those he claimed had

three letters from women he said
were veterans wives who needed
supplies for their disabled nus
bands.

those subscription rackets I've been
hearin' about, could it," I say, lookin'
him right in the eye. ooh, no." he

You do get a subscription to a farm

happen to know all about this racket

There are women workin' this
