The result was a complete anti
climax. We left the fields at noon
without having fired shot. After
taking time out for lunch, we
went out in the afternoon to hunt
dove.
About 20 men gathered in the
largest cornfleld we've seen in
many a day. The corn had been
harvested with a picker so there
was plenty of bait on the ground.
Scattered blinds had been built
out Of scrub pine.
Before we deployed to our sta
tions our host, Walter Forbes, told
us there were 525 acres in the
field and the wide expanse GER
tainly gave us no reason to doubt
his word. The doves soon came
in to feed and the fun began.

space to alight and feed and two
of the field hands on horseback
stirred them up occasionally.
There were so many doves over
head that we almost twisted our
necks trying to see in four di-ec-
tions at once. Occasionally a
flock would fly over our blind and
we would bang away at it. Our
record was not too impressive.
We missed the easy shots and
made the hard ones.
We continued at our station un-
til about 4 o'clock when our host
drove up in the station wagon
with refreshments. 1t was a fine
shoot. No one got his limit, but
when the pickup wagon came
for us we had enough for one day.
Tomorrow we hunt quail again
in the morning and wind up with
dove shoot in the afternoon.

NATIONAL GUARD
 ENLISTMENT E NOT
 DRAFT INSURANCE

Young men without previous mili- tary service who now join the Ma tional Guard are still subject to be- ing drafted into the armed forces John Mccormick, Territorial direc- tor of selective service, warned to- day.
 Any youth between the ages of 19 and 25 who joined the Guard since June "A, 1948, may be called up the same as any civilian, he said The Selective Service, if it is found the draftee is eligible in other re- spects will draw up papers to have the wanted man discharged from the Guard so he may enter the army
 Recent talk has gotten abroad, Mccormick said, which gives the er- roneous impression that member of the National Guard is safe from induction.
 Only young men not subject to call are those with previous mili- tary service or those who joined the Guard previously, he said, and are still enlisted.

TRAN5pLANTING MIGHT
 IMPROVE PINK SALMON
 RUNS, SAYS ANDERSON

Transplanting young fish from streams which now have good early pink salmon runs to those from which the early runs have disap- peared might improve the fishing picture in Southeast Alaska, c. l.. Anderson, director of the Alaska Department of Fisheries, said today. He said a small hatchery on a stream which now has an early run would provide eyed eggs" or small fish for planting in the streams from which the early runs have dis appeared.
 There are indications that such planting would restore the early runs to Southeast Alaska" he said, but in my opinion the success of such an experiment would depend on whether or not the early runs dis appeared because of everlasting" The planting could be successful if the disappearance of the early runs was due to over fishing, he declared.
 | Opinion on the reason for the dis appearance of the fish is divided he said In some quarters it is be- lieved the early run became depleted because of some natural condition such as low streams or too-cold winters; in others, that it was due to everlasting.
 Anderson said he believes it was due to combination of the two fac- i tors.
 Depletion of early runs caused the opening of the fishing season to be set back from June to Au- gust in 1945.
 The Alaska Department of Fish cries has no funds available for establishing hatchery for the ven- ture which would be. highly ex- perimental. but relatively inexpen- sive," according to Anderson.

CLIMBERS COMB MT WHITNEY SEARCHING FOR REYNOLDS HEIR

LONE PINE, Calif., Aug. 14-R- Four veteran mountain climbers lowered themselves over the east face of Mt. Whitney today in a last-hope search for Christopher Smith Reynolds, tobacco-heir son of singer Libby Holman.
 The climbers plan to search re- mote lodges and crevasses and, if unsuc cessful, will remain on the na- tion's highest peak overnight and start anew tomorrow.
 The frozen body of Stephen Rice WasSerman, was found in snowy crevasse at the II ,50O-foot level yes terday, week after the two 17-year old Eastern scions had set out to conquer Whitney's toughest side.
 Scant hope was held by veteran searchers that young Reynolds is still alive. unless he wandered off for aid for Wasserman. Todays search will be concentrated on higher crevasses of the 14,496-foot peak.
 Young Reynolds mother, former torchsinger Libby Holman. was ready to fly from Paris. The boy, heir to $7,000,000 fortune, was born to Miss Holman shortly after her husband, Zachary Reynolds, was mysteriously slain.

0'Mahoney Answers COP Charges of Votes Being
 Sought Despite War

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA - R = Senator Bricker (R-Ohio) contended in the Senate today that Congress ought to keep for itself the right to decide when and if wage and price controls are needed.
 He argued against granting that power to President Truman as pro- posed in pending economic controls legislation.
 To give wage-price powers to the President, he said, would create two dangers:
 First, piecemeal approach would create inequities faster than they could be corrected.
 Second, the President would be subject to the tremendous pressure to control certain commodities and having started piecemeal system, he would be "powerless to stop gen. eral price and wage controls even if he should feel they were prema- ture."
 Over the weekend two Republican lawmakers assailed the Truman ad- ministration's handling of the pro- gram. Sen. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) talking with reporters, called in reply for "a truce on partisan pol itics."
 T think this is very poor time for anyone-Democrats or Republi- cans-to challenge the motives of those who are called upon to make +the extremely difficult decisions re- quired," O'Mahoney declared.
 This of all times is a time for a truce on partisan politics"
 O'Mahoney was replying to week end attacks on the administration by Senators Aiken (R-VD and Mar tin (R-Pa).
 Aiken predicted easy Senate pas sage late this week of a House. approved bill which would set up authority for wage-price-rationing curbs, but he said President Truman declined flor political reasons to ask Congress for these controls.
 MT. Truman did ask for immedl- ate power to allocate materials, set up priorities and curb credit. The bill which the House passed and which appears to face smooth sail ing in the Senate would also give him authority, for use when he saw fit, to control prices and wages ana impose rationing.
 Aiken contended that MT. Tru- man has his eye on the November elections and has been negligent in leaving the American people in the dark about the gravity" of the world situation.
 Martin accused the administra- tion of tendency to play politics with the nations security, and asked:
 Can we wait until after the Mo- vember elections to tell the people of America the real truth? Can we place votes first?"
