Recommend Duck
Hunting Dates

HELENA-Tentative recommen-
dations of the Central Flyway
Waterfowl council for the 1854 mi
gratory bird season was submit
ted to the U. S. Fish & Wildlife
Service in Washington, p. c. this
week.
If adopted, regulations would
be relaxed somewhat and would
extend to Central Flyway states
the opportunity of selecting one
of the following options: A 75-day
season with bag and possession
of four and eight birds respectively
with an opening date of not earlier
than Oct. l or a 60-day season
with bag and possession of five
and ten birds respectively with
an opening date not earlier than
Oct. 1.
Under the framework of the
60-day season option, zoning pro-
visions would be allowed with ap-
plication of proper corrective fac
tors. A council spokesman report
ed that the group is prepared to
inaugurate a series of experiment.
al studies designed to evaluate the
effects of various options in the
hunting season proposed by states
and endorsed by the council.
The recommendations were
drawn up at the July 27 meeting
of the council in Pierre, S. OAK,
with representatives from nine
states attending. States in
cluded in the Central Flyway are:
North and South Dakota, NebraS-
ka, Kansas, Wyoming, Colorado,
Oklahoma, Texas and Montana.
New Mexico, also a member state,
was not represented at the South
Dakota meeting.
Recommendations were based on
studies conducted by state fish and

game departments, biologists of the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and Canadian agencies.
These studies show that although
the nesting season for early NAL
lardS and pintails was delayed up
to two weeks by late spring break
ups throughout much of the range,
heavy rains after mid-May Great
ed an abundance of water for late
nesters and those birds that had
to re-neSt.
Surveys are conducted in the
Flyway states on a uniform basis
to determine changes which have
occurred in breeding populations
and production. Reports from these
areas revealed that duck popula-
tions had shown no significant
change from 1858. However, data
compiled indicates that 1858 was
considerably above the average OF
recent years, putting the breeding
population of 1854 above normal
and considerably above the aver
age for the past five years.

enacted to postpone financing the
program.
Some members of the Legislature
are backing a move to postpone
action on the financing measure
until 1856.
Meanwhile, as the legislature
continued to delay action on financ-
ing the program the sentiment
among Negro citizens of the state
was deepening, even among its
most conservative Negro leaders,
that the only hope of getting bet
ter school for Negro children,
schools the legislature fail to fl
nance the program at this session,
if for Negro citizens to file as
many suits as possible in the
state.
New sentiments for the filing of
a suit is reported as already de-
veloping in Madison county where
in many school districts the Ne
gro citizens own most of the land
and pay by far the largest amount
of taxes yet, Negro children are
forced to attend vastly inferior,
schools.
Madison county is the home of
Senator Evans who is one of the
leading opponents of the adoption
of the equalization program and
its financing at this session of
the legislature.
The state NAACP letter to Gov
ernor White in support of it's con-
testion that program of equali-
cation can be adopted that would
find school attendance all largely
white or largely colored points to
the existing pattern of white and
Negro residential areas in support
of its proposition. The text of the
letter to Governor White follows:
Columbus, Miss.
March IS, 1854
The Honorable Hugh L. White
Governor of Mississippi
Jackson, Mississippi
My Dear Governor White:
The satisfactory solution of the
school problem is the keystone for
the solution Of many of the other
vital problems in the state of Mis-
sissippi. The only solution to the
school problem that Mississippi
can morally and financially afford
and at the same time will meet the
approval of the United States Su-
preme Court, is to consolidate and
integrate the present schools on
all levels and then equalize and
expand within the framework of
consolidation and indignation. At
ter these schools have become con.
solidated and integrated, equaliza-
ton can then take place rapidly
throughout the state and within the
ability of the state to pay. The

Kenya Life.
\ But members of Kenya's legis-
.lative council denounced the Brit
ish for dealing with China and
have demanded that the colony's
heads resign. Expressing the gen
eral sentiments of council men,
bers, Humphrey Slade declared:
IF this unholy plan succeeds and
some terrorists do surrender, the
price we shall have paid will have
been too high" ~.
Another European, Michael
Blundell, said it would have been
proper to deal with an enemy, but
that it was different matter with
criminals. Gen. China's record, he
said, was one of murder, butchery
and arson, and the ordinary citi-
zen would conclude that the gov
eminent had become a party to
this brutality.
China had agreed to attempt ia
persuade Mau Mau leaders to sur
render in exchange for his life

Gen. George Erskine, East African
commander, said. To date six have
replied, five of them favorably.
Under guard, China posted the
letters in secret jungle mail boxes
in branches of trees and under
large stones.
British negotiations with China
were the latest moves designed to
end the bloody warfare which re-
portedly is costing the British gov
eminent about $1,0O0,0O0 monthly.
The situation has so alarmed
British officialdom that Oliver
Lyttelton, colonial secretary, was
forced to make a quick trip to
Kenya for first-hand view of the
situation.
All other efforts by the British
to end the conflict have failed.
These have included the use OF
bombs to force the Mau Mau from
hideouts in forests and mountains.
The bombs repeatedly have driven
the nationalistic fighters into the
open, but they have merely taken
refuge among natives on reserves,
which has made it more difficult
! for security forces to spot them.

investigation neared Senator James
o. Eastland of Mississippi came
under attack from officials of the
fund in his nnounced role of chief
interrogation during the investiga-
ton.
Charging that Senator Eastland
had prejudged the case officials of
the fund pointed to the senator's
wild charges against Negro SOL
diers during the second world war,
all of which were subsequently
disproved, during which in attack
ing the Negro soldier the senator
said: "The Negro soldier was dis
NAL and utter failure. He was a
disgrace to the flag of his country
He will not fight. He will not
work"
In answer to the charges Senator
Eastland in a statement to the
press said that he didn't want to
try anything in the press and de-
MED that he had prejudged the
case.
An admitted former Communist,
0-year-old Paul Crouch will be a
key witness at the hearings. Crouch
said Sunday night there are some
100 Communists in Louisiana who
further the party cause as circum-
stances permit but do not disclose
their party affiliations.
Crouch, an active Communist for
more than Is years, confined most
of his work to the South.
State Police superintendent
Francis Grevemberg warned that
charges would be filed against
LOuisianians definitely identified
as Communists or members of
Communications organizations.
Grevembert said a 1862 state
law requires registration of all
communists or members of COM
munist-front organizations. He
said no one had registered.

signed, the action Of your SUBJ
committee against the Southern
Conference Educational Fund, Inc.
Is an attack upon the Negro COM
munity Of this nation.
This organization has spear
headed the fight against segrega-
ton in the South. When your
statements and those of your fellow
committee members smear the
Funds leadership, you are also
disparaging the hopes and ambi-
lions of the Negro people.
1t is ridiculous to impute dis
loyalty of the Southern Conference
Educational Fund. It's board Of d.
rectors, composed equally of whites
and Negroes, includes many dis
tinguished civic leaders in the
Southern states. Its sole concern
throughout the years has been
with the evil effects of racial seq
regation in education, hospital SER
vices, transportation, and other
public facilities. Its goal of har-
moniously ending all racial barriers
is our goal.
How can you presume to sit in
judgment on the patriotism of an
organization which shares with
Vice President Nixon the convic-
ton that every act of racial dis
elimination or prejudice in the
United States hurts America as
much as an espionage agent who
turns over a weapon to a foreign

consolidated and integrated pro-
gram is that each child much at
tend the school nearest his or her
home. In a state where the popu-
lation of the two principal racial
groups is approximately equal, it
is not commendable but neverthe-
less true, that even under con-
solidated and integrated program
in Mississippi, the attendance IN
these schools will be largely white
or largely colored, for the present
at least, inasmuch as the residen-
tial areas are largely segregated.
The end results of equalization
