west all day and we missed out on
the morning shooting because Of
an extremely low tide which barred
the bottom for about 10 yards Off
shore. Our decoys had to sit on
top of sand and mud until the
tide came in and floated them
around $50 am.
We have never seen more geese
than were present in the area.
They were there by thousands,
tremendous concentration. Along
with them were several hundred
swans, RATS of black ducks, a few
brant, redheads. baldpates. golden
eyes and buffleheads. We did not
see a single blackhead to identify
it, nor a canvasback, although a
few canvasbacks were shot the day
before in blinds below ours. How
ever we got some few black ducks
and baldpates and a goose, so our
day was not without its compen-
sations. All We needed was an
easterly wind accompanied by
bit of snow to produce some real
shooting. but a fellow cannot have
everything.
| Hunters shooting from blinds
in the lower Potomac report quite
few canvasbacks present in that
area, along with some blackheads.
Riddles are fairly plentiful in the
area and just as dumb as usual.
Those little ducks never seem to
learn what a duck blind is liable
to contain and form a large por-
ton of the game bags of those
who either have poor shooting on
flying game or cannot hit ducks
in fight. 1t is always a wonder
to us that their numbers hold up
as well as they do.
F. H. Kortright, author Of the
now-famous book, "The Ducks,
Geese and Swans Of North Amer
ica," and also president Of the
Toronto Anglers and Hunters
Association, in a recent short ar
Iticle, brings out some points which
ring the bell with us. His article
is entitled, How the Duck Hunter
Can Help to Restore the Duck
Population. In 1t he cites the
main reasons for the decline of
the duck population such as the
continent-W wide encroachment of
agriculture, deforestation. recla-
nation of marshes with the con-
sequent drying up of streams and
ponds, manmade droughts and
pollution and losses from preda-
tors. He also points out that
game managers and other con-
servation authorities calculate
that for every duck brought to
bag there is at least one other
: that has been crippled and es-
capped Qater to die), or has been
killed and lost through falling
into places inaccessible to the
gunner.
This loss amounts to mini
mum of Is million ducks annually
probably more nearly 20 million
The tragic waste is the direct re-
sponsibility of the wildfowler.
Time and again we have seer
this estimate borne out. On our

Senate Bill Would Add

Withholding Taxes

The withholding tax on salaries
would increase from IS to 10 per
cent, after personal exemptions,
under income tax proposals ap-
proved by the Senate Banking
Committee
Here are tables, prepared I'M
officially, to show the effect of
such an income tax increase on
the amount which would be with
held from an individuals weekly
pay envelope to apply against his
annual tax bill:
(These figures are not exact
but an expert said they should
be accurate to within a dime or
so in each case. For one thing.
there are two ways of comput-
ing the withholding tax with
some variation. For another,
in making the deductions the
law rounds off the odd cents
into even amounts for simplic-
ity. Also the official withhold
ing table under the Senate
committees proposed bill has
not been announced)

Senate Group 10 Hear
Johnson on Status Of
Whole Arms Program
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee yesterday called on De-
Tense Secretary Johnson to re-
view before it this week the status
of military preparedness at home
and abroad.
Chairman Connally said MI
johnson will be questioned about
how the Defense Department in
tends to use 81 billion President
Truman has asked Congress TO
provide to step up arming OF
Western Europe and other anti
Communist countries.
Congress previously had voteo
81 1922, 100000 for this purpose.
The Administration proposed to
shortcut congressional hearings
by making the increase in a money
bill without first going through
the formal procedure of having
Congress authorize it.
Senator Connally said the COM
mittee conference with Mr.. John
son, expected to be arranged early
in the week, will be an informal
inquiry into the whole arms pro-
gram.
I'VE want to know about mill
tary preparedness at home to
meet any other outbreaks that
might come" the committee
chairman said. I'VE want to
know what the situation is in
Korea and what the plans are
for stepping up the arming OF
Europe"
Senator Connally said he anc
his colleagues would like to get
from Mr.. johnson an estimate of
the total amount of money likely
to be asked of Congress for arms
needs. Mr.. Truman already has
requested $16.5 billion in addition
to the $14.5 billion in regular ap-
preparations voted the military by
Congress.
| Senator Connally said that
under present world conditions,
the committee feels it ought to
know what is contemplated in the
way of military preparedness.
After ALL" he told reporters,
"the military picture has a direct
/ bearing on foreign relations now. y

Morse Sees Controls
lover All Pension Plans
BY the Associated Press


Senator Morse. Republican, of
Oregon. predicted yesterday that
all industrial pension plans
eventually will come under public
supervision. He said unions and
employers soon will be unable to
sit down and do what they want
with these pension and welfare
funds"
Senator Morse said some public
supervision is necessary because
so many recent pension plans ne
gotiated in steel. coal, automobile
and other industries ARE dove
tailed into the social security
program"
Some Of these plans are guaran-
teed to provide a fiat pension
500 month in many cases-with
the employer making up the diff
ference between social security
benefits and that figure.
Unless industrial pension funds
are subject to public supervision,
Senator Morse said, there is a
danger that they may break down
and employees must then fall
back on the public and social
security benefits"
He made the comments as
Joseph A. Beirne. president of the
CLIO Communications Workers of
America, testified that the Bell
Telephone System had refused to
consult or bargain with it's $780,
900 employees about it's present
pension plan. His union says it
represents more than 100000 Bell
employees.
Mr.. Beirne testified before q
Senate Labor Subcommittee
studying labor-management rela-
lions in the telephone and related
industries. Bell company officials
will testify later.

Enlisted Reserves
To Be Called by Navy
To Fill District Quotas

Naval district commandments have
been authorized to call enlisted
men of either the Nays organ
lied, volunteer or fleet reserves
involuntarily to active duty to fl
quotas given them. Vice Admira,
John w. Roper, Chief of NavaI
Personnel, said yesterday.
! Although such quotas have been
sent the commandments, including
the Potomac River Naval Com
mand, no public announcement
of any Involuntary calls of Navy
reservists has been made at the
Pentagon. 1t may be made tomor-
row.
Admiral Roper also said that a
number of officers of the Organ
ganized Reserve had been called
involuntarily, but that the num-
Der had not been large because
Of the applications for active duty.
(The source for a report in The
Star yesterday that the Navy had
no plans at present for calling
reServiStS to duty without their
consent was incorrectly informed.)
Although Admiral Roper did not
disclose any figures on the num-
Der of personnel being summoned,
it was learned from other sources
that the total Gallup was likely
to reach some $4,000 over a period
of several months as additional
fleet units are taken out of moth
balls. The organized reserve to-
tailed $4,000 enlisted men. and
about $4,000 officers, in the last
announced count.
Organized reservistS are those
who are members of organized
units. Volunteer reserviSts are not
members Of such drill-paid organ
iZations. Fleet reserviStS are those
who have had 20 years service,
but have not yet attained the 80
years necessary for retirement.
The organized reservists of the
Navy sign a certificate at the time
they join their units stating that
they are available for active duty
if needed within 80 days. 1t Is
from these reServists that officers
are being taken. In the case Of
enlisted men, the commandants
are authorized also to delve into
the ranks of the volunteer re-
ServiStS if necessary. The latter
group do not sign the certificates
nor are they on a drill pay status
Admiral Roper said that the
Bureau had had so many requests
for active duty for non-aviation
officers that I'VE just haven't had
time to see what we may have to
do later in the way of calling
some of them involuntarily."
However, some physicians and
technical specialists in the officer
ranks are being given orders in
voluntarily, though the number Is
not yet large. The orders for the
on-aviation officers go out from
the Bureau while the aviation Of
ficers receive their orders from
the Chief of Naval Air Training.
An undisclosed number of re-
serve air squadrons also have beer
called.
