.AAUCornmittee
Again Weighing
ISantee Status

NEW YORK, Dec. IA lP.-
The New York Herald Tribune
says in a copyrighted story that
a secret committee of seven had
reopened an investigation into
the amateur standing of Yves
Santee.
The Kansas miller was sus-
pended by the Missouri Valley
AAU Registration Committee Oc-
tober 30 for accepting excessive
expense" money for track meets
last May in California.
Santee. now a Marine lieu
tenant stationed at Quantico.
Va, was reinstated November 20
by the Missouri Valley AAU
Board of Governors.
The Herald Tribune said DAN
iel j. Ferris. national AAU Sec
rotary treasurer, admitted the
committee had been appointed
but would not disclose the names
OF the members. They were ap-
pointed by Carl Hansen of Oak
land, Calf, who was elected
president of the AAU at its
convention recently in Louis
Vile
Concerned About Telegram
The newspaper reported the
AAU was also concerned about
the possible improper influence
of a two-page telegram sent to
the Missouri Valley AAU Board
of Managers by Senator Frank
Carlson of Kansas"
Senator CarlSon's telegram al
legedly was sent to all members
of the Missouri AAU Board Of
Managers after the suspension
october 80. pointing out that if
the action stood Santee would
not be able to compete in the
Olympic games.
4 The Herald Tribune said the
Senator also declared Santee's
travel permits were flied ouv Cu. =
rectly and honestly, and that his
case was no different than thou
sands of other amateur athletes
Reached later. Ferris said the
committee had been appointed
at the December Ia AAU con-
vention in Louisville.
Admits Intervention
At his home in Concorida
KaIts.. Senator Carlson said he
had sent the telegram to all
members of The Missouri Valley
board after I had made lin
tied investigation into the case
Il certainly don't see anything
improper about it," Carlson said
"As a Senator from the State
of Kansas, interested in the citi-
zens of my State. it was certainly
/ in order for me to see that
Santee received fair treatment
My study indicated Santee's
tlavel permits were properly
filled out. He had received money
for three round trip appearances
in California and stayed Out
there for all three. He had the
right TO return 10 his home
between these appearances If he
so desired and receive expense
money for the trip"

predators. Yet. the cottontail
seems to thrive and his numbers
hold steady through the years.
II it were not for Br'er Rabbit
and his kin. hunting for upland
game in this country might even
cease altogether. The pressure
that would be put upon other
wild game, both birds and ami
mails. would soon kill them to-
the point where we would have
no more hunting as we know it
today.
Most wild birds will encounter
their toughest season from now
on. Last month. the Philadel-
phia Inquirer had a fine article
on the first page of a Sunday
edition entitled Handful Of
Bird Seed May Save Life, Help
Songster Carol Another Day.
The article went on to tell
what kinds of feed the different
species of birds like. 1t advo-
Gated those going afield to take
a handful of bird feed along
with them and place it where
it will do good. 1t also was sug-
geSted that a little fine grit
mixed with the seed was as
necessary for the birds as the
food itself. 1t sounded like a
fine idea to us and we shall prac-
tice it throughout the balance
of the winter. You can buy a
mixture of wild bird feed from
most hardware stores, drugstores
and any feed and seed store for
about Is cents a pound. A pound
goes a long way.
We've had several inquiries
about the whooping cranes,
which have received so much
publicity this fall in the effort
to keep them from becoming
extinct. Last year when they
finished their migration from
Canada to Texas, only 81 reached
their winter refuge. These were
all that were left in the world.
This year. % birds reached
their winter home. eight of which
were juveniles. a splendid in
crease. We hope the other adult
makes the grade safely and has
not met with foul play en- route.

Last Saturday we enjoyed our
first quail-hunting trip of the
season, in the company OF Herb
Wilkins and his fine setter dog
Jake. The territory we hunted
is typical Virginia quail coun-
try, but we found the ground
fairly well covered with snow.
which did not melt enough to
hunt until nearly noon. Then it
was patchy, with some areas COW
cred completely. Quail or "birds"
as most quail hunters call them,
do not like to sit tight for a
pointing dog when there is any
snow on the ground. Actually.
we cannot blame them for we
wouldn't like to either II we were
a bobwhite. All told, we found
seven coveys, two of which flushed
so wild we did not get shot.
Jake is an excellent bird dog,
a typical covey dog. He has been
trained for field trial work and
he hunts hard and fast with an
eye to business. 1t is a pleasure
to see him swing around the
edges of a field, seeking the scent
of the covey where they've en-
tered. Finding it, he swings
around and quarters upwind un-
til he's located the birds. and
he stays there until you arrive.
If the birds are running, he'll
drop the tip Of his tail and you
may be sure they're on the move
ahead of him. II he's on a real
point, he's like a rock.
Frankly, neither Herb nor
your scribe we're up to form
when it came to shooting, al
though we came home with a
satisfactory number of birds.
We saw one beautiful buck deer

ever seen in a Whitehall. He was

GIN and GIN Dealers

lHIS is picture of an automobile
mechanic going to school.
He's not an apprentice. Far from it.
He's a veteran of many years.
But he's going to school to catch up
with the engineers who designed and
built the cars he services.
Ibis mechanic might be from the
service department of any one of some
$4,000 dealers who sell General Motors
cars and trucks.
He is going to school in one of the 80
model new Training Centers, just COM
pleted by General Motors and spread
across America from coast to coast.
He's learning about long list of ad.
vanced engineering features of General
Motors cars what makes them tick
how they're built-how to take them
apart and put them together.
He's also learning how to use the new
tools, specifically developed by General
Motors engineers, to do these new jobs
with the greatest of ease.
Ibis, we believe, is good example of
what GIN and GIN car dealers are
accomplishing together.
We supply the training they supply
the mechanics and thousands of their
mechanics are doing more skillful, job
because of this combination.
Our responsibility is to the buyers of
our cars and the dealers who sell them.
GIN dealers responsibility is to service
the millions of cars they sell each year
so competently that their customers
and ours-will come back for more.
