LITTLE SPORT
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany-Ever
since the war. Southern Germany
has been a happy hunting ground
for American sportsmen.
Deer, wild fowl, wild boar and
rabbits have fallen by the thou
sands to United States soldiers
and civilians. Fat strings of fish
have been pulled from streams
and lakes.
All the time Germans have
been barred from hunting because
they were forbidden to have
weapons.
Now the ban has been partly
lifted to permit issuance of $4,000
hunting guns to West Germans.
But the Germans are complain
ing that the Americans have de-
pleted the stocks of wild game by
their five years of happy hunting.
American officials say this is
not so.
Deer Quota Increased.
German authorities this year
increased the number of deer
which may be killed and extended
the hunting season." says Carl w.
Strauss of Atlanta. United States
high commission authority on fish,
game and forestry.
Does this indicate extinction of
game?" he challenges.
German claims about Amer
lean depredations of German game
may have been true in the first
couple of years after the war"
Strauss comedies.
I'VE had lot of troops here
then, fresh out of battle, eager
to use their guns for hunting in
stead of war. I have heard tales
of them hunting game with ma
chine guns and such unsportsman-
like acts.
But the Germans own statis-
tics indicate that there was no
serious. permanent damage to
the stocks of wild game" Strauss
says.
Hunting Regulated.
And in the last two years at
least. American hunting has been
carefully regulated. In that time.
we have not even shot as much
wild game as the German game
management program authorized.
The fact that the deer quota
was raised this year by the Ger
mans themselves is proof that
there are plenty left. The only
game shortage I've heard OF is
in pheasants and partridge, and
that is only in a few small areas"
Strauss was with the United
States Forest Service II years be-
fore he came here, and is an ar
dent sportsman.
The Germans long have been
famous for their careful preserva-
ton of wild life. Their hunting
code is strict. An annual
census of wild life is taken, and
the number of kills permitted is
carefully specified in detail for
each local district.
American hunting regulations
have been drawn to stay within
those quotas-and Strauss insists
Americans have not even shot
their authorized limit.
Kill More In Colorado.
"Why, they kill more deer IN
Colorado every year than we do
in Germany" he says.
Many of these German COM
plants have been the natural
reaction of people forced to watch
aliens enjoy the sport they are
denied, United States officials
said.
Now that Germans can hunt
again, careful division OF the
game has been made between
Germans and Americans-based
on the number of hunters OF each
nationality.
In the United States zone, the

There are two big charity

Deer And Man. Kill Each Other

COTUULA, Tex. R)-The tale of how a deer, mortally wounded by hunter, evidently kicked and killed the hunter in its death throes, was told here yesterday by chief deputy sheriff Frank New man.
 Granville Wiedner, 60, of Co., tulla, was the victim. His body was found a week ago about 24 miles southwest of here.
 Newman said that a state rang CT and several others investigated and reconstructed the incident this way:
 Wiedner shot once and the deer ran. Wiedner followed and when he tried to cut the deer's throat he was kicked.

Emergency Aerial Supply Line Aids Hospital Patients

ANCHORAGE, (P) An emer- gency aerial supply line was es- tablished yesterday to the western village of Bethel, where fire de- stroyed the Alaska Native Service hospital.
 The flames drove 70 persons into to near zero cold late Mon day. The only person injured was a native employee of the hospital. He said the last he remembered was an explosion as he clung to a second floor window ledge of the $300,000 structure.
 Dr. Duncan M. Chalmers, head of the hospital, advised the (P) from Bethel that the hospital staff evacuated the nursery, surgical patients and tubercular cases within 20 minutes of the fires outbreak.
 He said: Bethel townspeople responded at once and coopera- ton was magnificent from all sources. Maintenance personnel worked all night to protect out buildings The hospital was in smouldering ruins this morning. Church groups are taking care of some of the personnel, the Terri torial and ANS schools are hous- ing patients and evacuation is progressing rapidly"
 While planes carried supplies and medical aid to the stricken village, others started the evacua- ton of patients. Four were flown here.
 Dr. Chalmers advised the ANS office at Juneau that the blaze be- gan in the boiler room.
 A 57th Fighter Wing plane took a cargo of emergency supplies to Bethel the night of the fire.

Estimate Foreign
 Aid Program To Cost Eight Billions

 In the main, Gray proposed ac- tion along three lines:
 1. Foreign assistance-a vastly expanded U. S. air program car rying billions not only for Europe but also for under-developed areas-Africa, Asia and Latin America - and administered by single agencies in Washington.
 The amount of economic assist ance they will need remains to be figured out, but at one point Gray's advisers tentatively es- timated the cost at $1,5OO, 1000, ,OOO to S2,000,O00,00O a year. Mean while, the U. s. in cooperation with the International Ban k would also undertake a loan and grant program for the underde- veloped areas totaling at least S1 1,100,000,000 a year-far beyond anything previously planned.

Canadian Trains In Head-On
 Collision, IS Dead

 Twenty-two of the injured were reported in a serious condi- ton.
 One train, carrying $40 officers and men, was bound for Fort Lewis, Wash, where 10000 Cana dian soldiers will be trained to fight with United Nations forces in Korea.
 The troop train, running slightly behind schedule, and a trans-con- tinental limited collided on a mountain curve on the main line of the Canadian National Rail- ways. They were near siding at Canoe River, British Columbia, where they were scheduled to pass.
 The crash occurred in lonely, snow-covered stretch of country 83 miles west of Jasper, Alta.
 Both trains were travelling at reduced speed, but there was a half-foot of snow on the ground and the temperature was near zero.
 As the Year troop train and the 1O-car limited collided, cars from both trains spilled off the tracks, ripping up the right of way and tearing down communications lines.
 An official of the Canadian Na- tional Railways said the omission of the words "at Canoe River" in a message given the conductor of the troop train may have been responsible for the wreck. The dropping of the words caused the troop train crew to believe the

You Can't Keep
 The Women Away From The Marines

SEATTLE, (P)-Miss Anne Re- yak, corporal in the Marine Re- serve since World War II, applied last July from Fairbanks, Alaska, for active duty in the Corps.
 Sorry, can't do it," was the gist of a score or more of replies received to her insistent demand for restoration to duty, "We are not ordering reservists resident outside the Continental United States to active duty"
 Miss Revak supplied her own solution. She drove the 3,252 miles to Seattle via the Alcan Highway , arriving here early this month. Then came word from Washing ton that she's in. But Miss Revak wasn't.
 She had driven to Pittsburgh, Pa., to visit relatives rather than wait for what she figured would be the slow word from Washing ton. So she reeled off another fast 5000 miles and yesterday she was sworn in, preparing to go to Camp Pendleton, Calif., 1000 miles south of here.
 That's roughly 1000 miles total, but Miss, oops, Corporal Revak, is happy and SO, presumably, is the Marine Corps.

 They said bed patients were taken to a nearby Native Service school. Other buildings also were used as emergency wards to get the patients out of the cold.
 A 57th Wing spokesman said the unit will keep supplies flying to Bethel as long as they are needed.

Practice Or Power

II seems that there is a trend
among hunters to place more
emphasis on using larger rifles
for deer and similar game. There
Is a noticeable lack of interest In
the idea of first trying to devel-
op more skill In the shooting
and hunting of game.
Most game is wounded, not by
hunters using the medium pow
er rifles, but by those equipped
with the 270, the .30-36 or even
larger. Such hunters try to kill
game at a much farther range
than their skill calls for.
Most men are conceite d
enough TO consider themselves
far better shots than they really
are. They buy fine guns then
don't know how 10 use them
Some OF them don't know how TO
adjust the sights. When they
miss the game they blame the
iiiie ana not themselves.
The claims OF braggarts who
never miss shot at a running
deer at 500 hundred yard $
should be taken with a grain OF
salt. They are just ignoring their
misses and wound shots. A tele-
scope sight is major help, but
no cure for lack of skill. II re,

the nation most of their praise
was sung in their own back

Buckeyes In
Final Hockey
Game Saturday

Grand Rapids and the Toledo
Buckeys will play the final game
of the Western Division play
offs at the Toledo Sports Arena
on Saturday night, March rs.
The Bucks and the Rockets di-
vided the first two games of the
series, although both were play
ed under protest.
The protest was made because
the Rockets injected Kenny Kill
rea into the lineup, although he
had not qualified for the series.
Grand Rapids won the fir S {
game, at Grand Rapids - while
the second, one of the widest
contests witnessed on Toledo ice
this season, was won by the
Buckeyes. Nineteen penalties,
including two majors, we r e
meted out and the Grand Rapids
coach was elected from the Wis
iting players bench.
In the final five minutes of
the game eleven players served
time in the penalty box and as
the final thistle blew, four
Grand Rapids and three Toledo
players were still serving time.
Saturdays game will deter
mine which team in the Western
Division will meet the New York
Rovers in the Boardwalk Tro-
ply series and the title of Sen
ior A A.H.A. champion.
In a similar series two years
ago Toledo won their first ma
tional championship. Last year
they also won the International
League championship.
BY winning the Easter
League title this season the To-
ledo pucksters won possession
of the James j. Walker trophy
and II they repeat in the play
offs, they will be awarded the
Columbia trophy.
The game Saturday will start
at $3.50 and will be the last of
the season - unless Coach Mul-
ligan'S crew chalk up another
win and another trophy and go
into the series with the New
York RoYers.
