Naterfowl Check Up

Montana's first effort to find Out
what is present in the way of breed
ing waterfowl is keeping Wynn
Freeman, Waterfowl Biologist up
in the air During the past four
weeks, ground and air crews have
been correlating activities using
standard techniques employed by
Fish and Wildlife Service and other
manner, the infornatio compiled
state waterfowl workers. In this
manner, the information compiled
presents a comparable picture
wherever ducks and geese are
studied.
The ground crew covers the same
general area as the observer does
in a plane. The ground crew OBJ
tains sex-ration and specie-com-
position information while the to-
tai population is taken by the aerial
ground by observing and counting
all ducks one-eighth of mile on
each side of the plane. Predeter-
mined strips are covered by air
over representative waterfowl areas.
Getting a statewide picture,
strips have been flown over wide
areas of the state. Areas around
Roundup, the Flathead country,
Carter County, and much of the
highline have been traversed by the
strip-census method. The findings
have not yet been compiled, but
present observation indicates that
the mallard and pintail are the most
common breeders in Montana.
Waterholes for ducks appear to be
spotty this year with many dry
areas in evidence when the sur
vey was under way.
Working with committees of states
in the Pacific and Central flyways,
this vast area of the United States
in being covered by systematic
methods. Heretofore unable to check
all of this territory, the federal
Fish and Wildlife Service will now
have better and more complete in
formation on which to determine
the waterfowl hunting regulations
for this coming season.
Fish Trap on Clearwater River
Clarence Ripley, Foreman, of the
Arlee Hatchery, reports that the |
two-way fish trap washed out by /
high water in the spring of 1913 |
has recently been reinstalled and |
is taking fish. The trap, designed
by A. G. Stubblefield, Superinten-
dent of Fisheries, has a single bar
rier across the stream with traps
to capture fish moving either up
or down the river. Rough fish, prin-
cipally squaw fish, are removed
from the trap and disposed. Game
fish are allowed after examination
to continue their journey up or
down stream. This trap on the
Clearwater IS a cooperative prof
act between the sportsmen's club,
Of Missoula, and the State Fish and
Game Department.

Beautiful Samoan Islands
frequently Blown OF Map

More than 1000 miles from Sar
Francisco on direct sea and all
lanes to Australia, American Samoa
unrolls a photogenic scene Of
palm-decked beaches, framed by
green jungles and forested volcanic
mountains.
Tutuila Islands deep blue bay,
which was coded to the United
States for naval station in 1872,
has been called the best and most
beautiful harbor in the South Seas.
Administered by the U. S. navy,
only the eastern portion of the
Samoan group comes under Amer.
lean rule, notes the National Geo
graphic society. Western Somoa,
with the larger islands of Savii and
Upolu where Robert Louis Steven
son once lived and was buried, is
governed by New Zealand under
United Nations trusteeship.
For all its handsome scenery,
however, and the fertility that
offers native Polynesi ans a living
almost literally picked from the
trees, Samoa also sees harSher
side of nature. Occasional hurri-
canes have brought devastation and
famine.
One of the worst blows" came in
1889, wrecking the rival warships
of Great Britain Germany and the
United States, facing one another
in the Apia harbor of Western
Samoa After the storm, the three
powers agreed on neutral control
of the islands, which lasted un-
easily until 1899, when Great Brit
ain withdrew, in favor of the
United States and Germany. After
World War l, Germanys western
share came under New Zealand's
mandate

Don't Look Now But the New
Depression is Here

though we as a nation are appro-
priating billions to help the Eu-
ropean nations get on their feet,
we are cutting out our own legs
from under us doing it. Some of
these billions had best be used
here in America to stimulate the
programs necessary to keep the
wheels of industry spinning.
With the depression here, cum
munism is just around the corner
where old man prosperity used
to hide-the only difference be-
communism is a real menace, but
that prosperity was a myth.

Ravens Get First
Thermometer"
Contract

WASHINGTON, June 20. =
Ever hear of a performers con-
tract containing a thermometer"
clause? The answer is "no" be-
cause the first such pact of its
kind was drawn up between the
Ravens and the management Of
the Club Bengasi here for the one
week engagement beginning at the
popular Northwest fun spot this
Friday night.
Taking full cognizance Of the
recent excessive heat wave and
knowing of record of this city. for
climbing mercuries, the Ravens
asked for-and got-a proviso in
their contract, which relieves them
from performing any show if the
mercury climbs to 10 degrees.
Should that mark be reached, ac-
cording to the pact, the singers
have arbitrary rights to perform
or decline.
While the heat figure is ex-
ceptikonally high, the fact remains
that operator Ralph Feldman has
a sympathetic interest in the well
fare Of the performer. In those
kind of temperatures (inside the
cluby there would probably be
hardly any customers to sing TO
anyway .
Still the proviso, whether used
or not, sets a significant precedent
in employer-performer relation
ships.
1t may establish a trend for fu-
ture negotiation of such agree
ment.
Following the Bengasi engage
ment, the Ravens are Broadway
bound for a four weeks stand at
the newest show place of the gay
white way-Bop City. They open
at the plush New York night spot

NEW YORK, June ~. (ANP)
Regardless of prophets, predic-
ton and promises-the "new de-
preston" is not coming-it is
here.
If the idle workers in New
York are barometers of the stu
alton, the depression has been in
force in Harlem for some months.
Talk that the lay-offs of work.
ers is merely Reasonable" unem-
ployment fails to answer the ris-
ing number applying for relief
and storming the offices seeking
work or aid.
Indications of the approaching
disaster were laughed off by high
powered economists and govern
ment officials who could see moth
ing unusual in the condition.
But already, five states r re-
ported planning to REVIVE the old
work programs-and Michigan is
included in this group. Here you
have the nations most important
automobile manufacturing center
where prosperity hit all time highs
during the war era, preparing for
another sloughing off.
Other areas have been hit
equally as hard and New York is
no exception. Negroes who have
been working steadily are now
finding jobs scarcer and scarcer,
regardless of their training or ex-
~perience.
To further aggravate the situa-
ton, new arrivals in the country
are being placed on jobs-for
which some of them are especially
fitted--but always it is the same
old story-the one committee af-
ter committee has heard told and
retold-it is the Negro who suf-
fers first. "Last hired and first
fired" still is the axiom governing
Negro employment.
Street corner crowds are grow
ing-and it isn't the summer time
that is drawing them out. The sit
uation is developing for a COM
munist coupe whether the govern
ment likes it or not. Newspapers
are not helping the situation, with
the Daily News in New York play
ing up racial angles all out of
proportion to their Importance.
The recent story Of a Negro, son
Of a well publicized Negro, mar
rying a white girl, a classmate at
an upstate university was over
emphasized by both the daily pa
pers and the radio-undeniable
proof that they are not turning
their best efforts toward the best
job Of reporting and news selec-
ton.
It has been 10 short years since
the country started pulling itself
out Of the worst depression it had
ever known.
In that time, many things have

unavoidable and productive
of the utmost confusion, dis
trust and bad feeling. If
adopted, it would make the
Puerto Rican delegate
spokesman for an entirely
unfamiliar territory OF
which he has very little
knowledge, and even less
interest.
The people of the Virgin Is
lands have expressed, by an
overwhelming m aority
vote, their desire to have
their own Resident Commits
sioner in Congress.
The Virgin Islands are the
only United States territory,
under a civil government,
that has been denied a Re
Sident Commissioner. This
denial of representation in
Congress has lead to the ex-
clusion of these islands from
measures designed to bene-
fit the people of all States &
Territories.
The people of the Virgin Is
lands have demonstrated be
You'd question their ability
to shoulder an increased
measure of self-govern
ment. The literacy rate in
the Virgin Islands is among
the highest in the world.
5. President Truman and the
Secretary of the Depart
ment of Interior, and all
other officials entrusted
with the affairs of the Vir-
gin Islands, are unanimous
in urging action by the Con-
gress to end the existing dis

The Honorable,
The President Of the Senate,
United States Senate,
Washington, D. c..
Sir:
We, the undersigned, repre-
senting major organizations in
the Virgin Islands, hereby peti
ton the Congress of the Unit
ed States to reject the bill, re-
Gently introduced in the Sen
ate by Senator Hugh Butler, to
provide for a single Resident
Commissioner in Congress to
represent both Puerto Rico &
the Virgin Islands.
The People of the Virgin Is
lands appreciate Senator But
ler's effort to provide the Vir-
gin Islands with some measure
of representation in Congress,
but since neither Puerto Rico
nor the Virgin Islands desire
the type of unification which
Senator Buffers proposal con-
templates, we must ask the
Senator to use his influence
in obtaining a Resident Com
missioner solely for the Virgin
Islands.
The following reasons make
it necessary that Senator But
lef's bill be defeated:
/. There is no political rela-
tionship existing between
Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands. The marked differ
ences in language, culture,
outlook and interests be-
tween these two territories
render Senator Buffers pro-
posal entirely impractical,
