Turkey PropresS

R. V. Anderson, Of the Haystacll
Rod and Gun Club, suggested that
the season be closed in all counties
until flocks have been built up.
Vaughn said the commission has
made great progress with its turkey
stocking program, but that over
hunting would do great harm.
Weber said the early squirrel sea-
son has caused so many illegal tur-
key kills that flocks have been badly
depleted in recent years.
Until we have a single season for
squirrels and other small game" said
II. o. Powers, Of Hancock, "we'n
never have good turkey hunting in
Maryland"
Chairman Longfellow pointed out
that the commission cannot act on
changes in the squirrel season until
a formal resolution is presented to
the board.
The commission decided to postpone
until next year discussion Of Il pro-
posal to reduce the minimum legal
trout length from seven to six inches.
1t also plans to clarity its dcsigna-
tion of trout streams.

miles north of Albright on route &c
near the junction of Muddy Creek and
Cheat River. Construction was eX-
pected to get underway within three
weeks with all cement and foundation
work expected to be completed before
extremely cold weather.
The coal tract to be worked in
cludes some $4,000 acres. Coal veins
in the acreage include the upper and
lower Freeport veins, the Bakerstown
vein and the Mahoney vein. Four
types of coal will be processed, in
GLIDING metallurgical, steam domestic

and possession limits for brook, brown
and rainbow trout reduced to five a
day, statewide.
Considering Garrett county prob
lens, the commission decided to make
fishing seasons in this county conform
to the statewide regulations except
for large and small-mouth bass. 1t re-
moved the size and crocl limits on
crappies, perch and catfish caught in
Garrett county waters.
The commission also said it would
set aside certain designated propaga-
ton areas in this county as fish sane
tuaries.
Open season on bass in this county
will start on June Is. Elsewhere in
the state the season opens on June
LIST.
Last Friday night delegations rep
resenting sportsmen groups attended
the public meeting and had their say.
Robert Michael, of the Upper Poto-
mae Rod and Gun Club, said he OBJ
iected to frightening the trout season
because anglers fishing in low water
during the fall would seriously de-
plete the trout population in the
streams.
Carroll L. Miller, Of Oakland,
stated only few anglers would still
be using the trout streams late in the

stranded by Low ater
p. o. Weber, of the Cumberland
Outdoor Club, declared low water in
the fall leaves trout stranded in
small pools in which their natural
turtles, water snakes and
eels-find it easy to destroy them.
IF they're going to be destroyed
anyway" he said, "the sportsman may
as well have them"
Miller also said the proposal to
open the Garrett county bass season
in June was of an experimental ma
ture.
Some sportsmen objected to the
early season because bass spawn be-
tween May / or May Is and June Is
or July /.
Michael was the only sportsman to
object to the reduction Of the trout
creel Limit from ten to five fish. He
said the cut would be too drastic. but
suggested that a compromise be con-
sidered
Commission Director Ernest A.
Vaughn outlined the proposal to close
the turkey season in all counties ex-
cept Allegany and Washington.
He declared there are practically
no turkeys in any Of the states q
other counties, and that birds stocked
by the commission should be given
chance to multiply.

SisSon Wins
Courtesy Award

Raymond sisson, 21O Irving
Ave. No, Minneapolis, an en-
ployee for eighteen years OF the
Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way, was awarded the Federation
for Railway Progress employees
courtesy award for the month Of
October.
Each month the Federation for
Railway Progress presents a $25
U. 8. Savings Bond and the Fed
eration's award emblem to an out
standing railroad employee for ex-
emplary service rendered to rail
travellers.
Sisson was selected winner by
the judges because, in their
opinion, he went beyond the call
of duty in aiding a passenger that
suddenly became sick in his car
while enroute to Minneapolis.
Sisson said that although he re-
members the incident very wildly,
he didn't think that he was doing
anything heroic, and hadn't
thought too much about IL until he
was notified that he had been
selected the winner.
But another passenger who wit
messed the episode wrote to the
president of the railroad and said
IF I am ever unfortunate enough
to take sick on a train, my hope
is that / will have Sisson or some
one equally as intelligent and as
resourceful as a porter"

Winchell SlurS
Boxer To Cover
SfoFk Club

New York City-Walter White,
executive secretary Of the Nation
al Assn. for the Advancement of
Colored People, today accused
Walter Winchell Of trying to des-
troy the reputation Of Josephine
Baker and Of stopping his battle
against bigotry when It reaches
the doorstep OF the Stork Club"
White, whose organization has
been protesting the rude treat
ment of the internationally IA
nous singer at the K. 5Srd st.
night club on Oct. 10, wired Win
chell in Miami Beach:
Americans who believe in free
dom and equality for all citizens
are increasingly shocked to learn
that a man who has enjoyed the
reputation of being one of demo-
cracy's staunchest defenders can
resort to the tactics Of reputation
destruction which you are using in
the Stork Club affair against
Miss Baker and Mr.. and Mrs.
Roger Rico (her hosts).
IF this continues, all OF your
previous expressions OF righteous
indignation involving civil rights
and human dignity will come to
naught. A great many Americans
Of both races have expressed their
shock that your battle against
bigotry stops when II reaches the
doorstep Of your beloved Stork
Club.
The result Is skepticism and
even downright disbelief in your
sincerity among Americans who
hitherto have applauded you. We
urge you, for your sake TO stop
the rapid descent your prestige Is
suffering by not sticking to the is
sue and trying to destroy in petty
anger those who exercise their
right to disagree with you"
Winchell was In the stork Club
the night the Ricos, Miss Baker
and Mrs. Bessie Buchanan were
rudely treated.
Meanwhile, the Mayors Com
mittee on Unity, which investig-
ated the incident. Is still waiting
for a direct answer 10 It's demand
for a clear statement Of Stork

people. regardless Of race, creed
or color"

sue by saying 1t is his policy to
eater to the peoples of the
world"

Capt. Carl Fountain, a Negro
air force officer stationed in Min
neapolis, had related his exper-
fences in trying to buy a house.
He said, in general, that for
months, real estate firms gave
him the run-around.
Not a Biased Person In Town
But I didn't find a prejudiced
person in Minneapolis" he said.
1T always was their boss, their
neighbor or someone else who OBJ
jected."
Hanson said the pressure from
the public is real. Governor
Youngdahl sold his home in an ex-
elusive area to a Jewish person" "
he related, land when the Young
dahls got ready to leave the people
in the area were so angry not one
would tell them good-by."

accommodations.

Property Depreciation q
Myth Spring Says

But another Minneapolis real
estate man, Charles E. Spring,
president of The Spring Co., called
this theory a myth. He showed
films OF Negro-owned housing in
so-called white neighborhoods to
illustrate his point.
People must realize that the
realtor doesn't create the pro-
blem," Hanson said. I'VE want to
satisfy the buyer and seller.
I'VE try not to break up a dis
trict by moving in a Negro or a
Jew. If we stir up the neighbors
they all will run us down. We are
trying to build business, not tear
our business down."
Commenting on property values,
Hanson said: You mention that
a house is at Fifth Ave. and 3Sth
st. and you can't sell it."
Spring said the housing situa-
ton, with regard to group prob
lens, involves two impacts. One
he called the fear of social asso-
citation between members, espe-
cially youngsters, of majority and
minority groups" The other he
called the economic fear of loss of
property value.
Both these impacts are purely
emotional and not based on fact"
Spring said.
He told of a Negro woman who
bought a house in a white area,
after a court fight, and sold it
year later at more than $1,000
profit.
This he said, along with the
pictures he showed of well-kept
Negro homes in white areas,
proves that the economic argu-
ment Is a fallacy."
Problem a Moral One
The Rev. George Study, pastor
Of First Congregational church.
called the problem "one of morals,
not economies"
The realtor may not create the
caste system" he said, but he
has no obligation to use his in
fluence to perpetuate it."
A realtor is obliged to tell
member of a minority group the
truth about housing, Mr.. Study
added, and "he is obligated to OPP
crate with a conscience as well as
a sense of economy"
He warned that minority
groups must recognize that pro-
gress is being made, must appre-
ciate the problems of realtors and
must attempt to educate other
races and peoples.

Irwin was wounded by Mccall
while enroute to Tavares. Fla. for
a hearing on retrial ordered by
the United States Supreme court.
In the telegram signed by Thur
good Marshall and Alex Aler-
man, special counsel for the MA
ACP, they said the "1dlling Of
Shepherd and the attempted muir
der Of Irwin has all the evidence
Of the type Of unlawful killings
by peace officers which have re-
placed old type iynchings.
This new pattern requires
the cooperation Of other state
officers TO escape justified pro-
secutIOn."
Last Saturday, Nov. 10, a cor
oner's jury ruled that Mccall was
Justified" in killing Shepherd
and wounding Irwin.
This case began in Groveland,
Fla, July, 1919 when a white
housewife reported that she had
been raped by four Negroes. This
caused a riot during which whites
terrorized the whole Negro COM
munity, ard the National Guard
had to be called to restore order.
Ernest Thomas, 20. one OF the
four Negroes accused Of the at
tack, was killed in a swamp by an
all-white posse.
Irwin, Shepherd and Charles
Greenlee, 10, were tried by an an
white jury and found guilty. Ir-
win and Shepherd were sentenced
to death and Greenlee, because Of
his youth, was given life.
The United States Supreme
court ruled that because Of the
inflammatory situation that exis-
ted in Lake County at the time Of
the trial, the four Negroes could
not possibly have received q fair
trial, and ordered a new trial. The
court also criticized the trial by
newspapers"
Warren Meets With Mccall
The NAACP charged that on
Thursday. Nov. 8, Warren met for
two hours with Mccall In a Jack
sonville hotel and that as q result
Of this meeting, Elliot, warren's
special investigator. testified In
McCall's defense at the coroner'a
inquest. They went on TO charge
that 1t was obvious from Elliot's
testimony that he spent all Of his
time preparing a defense for Nc
Call.
Irwin testified that ne and
Shepherd were shot in cold blood
without any warning and that
they were left for dead. Then q
deputy, J. L. Yates, came on the
scene and shot him in the neck.
The two prisoners were mana
cled together and the car they
were in stopped TO fix a flat tire
and according to Mccall they at
tempted TO escape.
The telegram also stated that
IAN Of this action fits directly
into the new pattern which has
replaced the old type Of lynch
ing"
U. s. Attorney General J. Ho-
ward McGrath has ordered the

partment of Justice TO investi-
