More Facts Given
On Season For Does
To the Editor

To the Editor
In addition to adding our voice
to what has already been said
about doe season in Maryland, we
would also like to present some
facts that we have received from
Game Commissions in the states of
West Virginia, Michigan, Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland. In our infor-
nation, the Maryland Game Com
mission informed us that they
would like to work out a one on
two day doe season when possible
They also informed us that they
believed that since most of the
legal antlercd bucks are harvested
annually i'm Maryland, that does
bred frequently to immature bucks
result in smaller deer and smaller
antlers. The records showing the
December kill for 1858, show the
average dressed weight of deer to
be l12 pounds. They also stated
that it is their feeling that does
in several counties need to be
thinHed, not only to make sure that
bucks and does are kept within the
available natural food supply, but
to better balance the sexes, and to
alleviate the increasing amount OF
crop damage.
As you know, many does are
killed each year through illegal
hunting and by automobiles and
trains. 1t would be far better, of
course, if these deer were avail
able to the hunter who purchases
a license each year and who is sim
cere about observing the game

Il Runs Through
My Mind
BY POLLY J. HANST


While my sleepy head was still
Hurled in my pillow, someone was
calling with all his might, wake
up, get up and live"
My old friend is back; one |
dearly love- have no right to
his friendship, for never do give
him a bite to eat, never do | offer
him shelter. Could be that it's one
hcighbor's apple tree and another
ones sunflowers that bring him
here. For that, am grateful.
Clear was his song this morn
ing, "What-cheer, Watcher,
cheer, cheer cheer!"
The cardinals are back, at least
the papas are here (some of you
who treat them well have them
all winterJ But today he sings of
spring and mating. Soon we will
hear his lady respond to his "wolf
whistle"
wish we humans could work
out our own family life to such
degree Of harmony as do these
brilliantly colored birds.
In the first place the female
sings-one of the few female birds
that do. Then both parents work.
But don't we all >" you might be
thinking. But here's where I ad-
mirc the mama and here's where
/ couldn't keep a sweet disposition
if ! were she.
For instance SHE builds the nest
and spends II days Matching the
eggs while HE sings! Now wouldn't
the nagging start if that happened
in the homes of people? But Mrs.
Cardinal knows that his time is
coming Besides singing to make
her happy he protects her, leads
her to fayorite morscls and even
places food in her beak -uh huh
a sort Of breakfast in bed idea.
Now that would be nice,
Maybe he does have the hard
rev to hoe after all As head Of
the family he's a model. He brings

vishinsky Will Speak
In U. n. Today, May
|0ffer Atomic Plan
BY the Assoeicied Press


UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 30.-Reports spread today
that Andrei Vishinsky might
unveil new Soviet atomic pro-
posals to the United Nations
General Assembly this after
noon. Observers predicted that.
if forthcoming, they would boil
down to another demand for
a ban on nuclear weapons.
The chief Russian delegate
was scheduled to take the As
sembly floor shortly after the
opening of today's plenary ses-
sion to give a review of Soviet
policy as his contribution to
the 60-nation groups opening
general debate.
Mr.. Vishinsky's speech, on
which he had been working in
seclusion all week. was expected
to set forth the Soviet bloc's
line on the American atoms
for-peace proposals and other
vital East West issues.
Conciliatory Tone Predicted.
One Latin American delegate
said he had reliable word that
the usually fiery Soviet spokes-
man would couch his remarks
in conciliatory vein in an effort
to show Russia is treating the
atomic question with an open
mind.
Most members felt, however
that Mr.. Vishinsky would
reiterate his governments re-
fusal to go along with the Eisen-
hover Dulles atomic plan unless
1t tied in declaration outlaWing
nuclear weapons.
Some quarters-feelihg Mr.. vi
shinsky timed his speech to coin
eide with the nine-power London
conference on German rearma.
ment-predicted he might in.
dicate Russian willingness tx
accept reuniflcation of the for.
mer Reich. But any reunifica.
ton offer was expected to follow
closely the lines the Soviets have
laid down in the past, with de.
mands for such advantages tt
the Communist East German
regime that the West woulc
never agree.
May Ask Security System.
There was also speculation
that Mr.. Vishinsky might
reiterate Russia's call for an all.
European security system as ar
offset to NATO.
Mr.. Vishinsky also was ex-
pected to register a sharp protest
against what the Soviets call
interference with shipping in the
Formosan Straits. One in
formant predicted he might even
call for an Assembly resolution
against such alleged interfer-
ence. although it was given little
chance of adoption.

The time has come for the New
York Yankees to sit back and
watch Cleveland and Chicago
cnock each other around long
enough for the Yanks to slip into
the American League lead.
It may not happen that way, but
there never will be better op-
portunity.
Here's the situation in the league
| in the next 10 days.
sCleveland, now leading by three
games, has to play the second
place White Sox eight times be-
tween tonight and a week from
Sunday.
During the same spell the Yam
kess will be meeting Birthplace
Washington in seven games. And
right here may be the kicker. The
Yanks should win most or all of
those games, but there is no GER
tainty that they will. So far, the
Senator'S steadfastly have refused
to play dead for the New Workers.
In fact, they've won five of the
nine games played so far.
Cleveland and Chicago have met
eight times with the White Sox win
ming five. Even if they can keep
up this average the Sox will gain
only one full game on the Indians.
They'll still trail Cleveland by two.
But the path would be open for
the Yankees. If they could win
their seven with Washington they'd
shoot to the top, game in front
of Cleveland.
New York was the only one of
the American League contenders
that played yesterday. The Yam
KEGS jumped away to TO lead at
Boston but had to struggle for an
81 victory. This left the Yanks 3h
games out of first place.
In the National League, the New
York Giants swept into a four
game lead by whipping Brooklyn
for the third straight day So. St.
Louis crushed Milwaukee go with
rookie Stan Musial and Joe Cum
ningham hitting two home runs
each. No other games were SEIZED
uled in either league.
Johnny Sain, who has allowed
only eight runs in IS 2-3 innings
of relief pitching, came to the
Yankees rescue in Boston and shut
out the stubborn Red Sox through
the final three innings. Home runs
