WASHINGTON Senator
George Smathers notes a trend in
public opinion which he said in
Ieyitably will force abandonment OF
q national political system which
offers the appearances Of Rigging,

mail, and vote-trading."
The Florida senator is author OF
pending resolution before the
, Congress for q national primary
system and adjustment Of the
Electoral College to return to the
people the authority to nominate
and elect their Presidents"
His most recent views on the
subject were addressed to DR.. Paul
David, Of the Brookings Institute,
which has just announced endow.
ment Of a new study Of political
conventions as a means of clean
ing up nominating and election
practices In this nation. Smathers
Offered DR.. David his cooperation
In the study. pointing out that he
has been working for election re.
forms since entering Congress In
ls47. He said in his letter:
while during the six years no
legislation has been enacted as a
result, ! do feel that the education
OF the people of the United States,
and their representatives In Con.
gress, has been proceeding at q
not unsatisfactory pace. l am con-
fident that reforms in our methods
of electing our national leaders are
inevitable and that in a few years
we will have substantial revisions
similar to those which ! have pro.
posed.
Il know of no greater need in
this particular field than that of
eliminating from the American
Scene the suspicion of rigging, 81
borderline bribery, political black.
mail and vote trading such as ap.
pears at the present time to mark
the political conventions and the
election system setup. The essence
OF the security of our democratic
system is the pride and confidence
OF the people, and I do not think
that anyone can claim that the Am.
erican people are proud of our pre-.
sent system and the way In which
we manage 1t nor do they have
confidence in the systems results.

U.N. Begins Work

The big question on revising the
charter, whether to hold q special
conference on the topic viii not

But to be prepared for that, The
Netherlands, Argentina and Egypt
all have suggested that this years
Assembly start preparatory work
to get all the documents In order
and to find out whether most coun.
tries incline toward favoring . con.

The Soviet bloc already has loud.
ly denounced even this preliminary
move. Attacked for Its heavy use
Of the veto In keeping out nom Com
munist membership applicants,
the Russians have charged that
charter revision Is only a plot to
weaken Soviet veto power In the

Changed Timb ger Practices, Changing
Habits of Quail, Commission Says

there is no reason why birds
should do otherwise than stay in
the woods
Always Tree Birds
Older bird hunters. if they will
Jog their memories, will recall that
there have always been certain
coveys of birds in the State
which had a tendency to light in
trees when flushed. Some of these
birds would almost invariably fly
straight into trees on the convey
rise They had apparently devel-
oped instructive traits. The bob
white is no fool. and the birds
have simply adapted themselves
to changed conditions
Scientific Investigations of
quail in Virginia and in other
States indicate very strongly that
past importations of Mexican
quail have had no effect whatever
on the present instructive traits of
the birds.

Many Virginia bird hunters are
under the impression that the
tendency Of quail to light in trees
and stay in the woods is due to
the influence Of Mexican quail
blood in their veins Indications
are that this is a complete mis-
conception. There have been no
Mexican quail brought into Vir-
ginia for % years, unless in very
small lots by individual hunters.
In the spring of 1880, the Game
Commission did import 10,04O
birds from Mexico and released
them In more recent studies 1t
has been found that the survival
Of native stock raised in captivity
and released in Virginia is very
small, less than two per cent: less
than one per cent in Missouri
and 1926 per cent in Oklahoma.
These results were shown in
banded bird recoveries.
If any Of the Mexican birds
survived, in a climate entirely diff
ferent from what they were ac-
.customed to, the survival was ex-
ceedingly small. Even if all OF
them had survived, 10040 birds
would have constituted a very
small percentage Of the overall
population Of native birds in the
state. The intermingling OF such
small amount of foreign blood
could have had little effect.
Instinct Bred Out
Furthermore, after at least q
generations, any instructive traits
Of Mexican quail in our Virginia
birds would have been bred Out
long ago. 1t is hardly probably
that any introduction of Mexican
quail have had even the slightes'
effect on the present habits Of
our birds Their behavior must be
traced to other causes.
