Game Mess ,
Calls for US
Aid Charge

Special crews of game manage
ment agents from the Boston and
Atlanta regional offices of the
U. S. Fish and Wildhfe Service
have been sent into Maryland to
handle a critical situation Great
ed by the hanstringing of the
local game wardens of the State
Department of Game and Inland
Fish in the enforcement of the
waterfowl hunting regulations,
according to the Wildlife Man.
agement Institute.
The state law enforcement Of
ficers apparently have been ad
vised not to cooperate with their
federal counterparts in appre.
bending violators of the migra.
tory waterfowl regulations. 1t is
obvious, says the Institute, that
the Department of Game and In.
land Fish has been forced to yield
to pressure groups who have con
troll over that agency's purse
strings.
1t is well known that the Mary
land game WardenS were instruct
ed to surrender their special com.
missions as deputy us. game
management agents as a result
of political pressure on the state
department last year, the group
said.
While the individual Legislators
and groups who are hampering
the Department of Game and In
land Fish remains unnamed, the
pressure is coming from the
southern part of the state. This
area is said to have a past his
tory of almost continuous. at
tempts to get the Federal mi
gratory waterfowl regulation lib
eralized, particularly those pro
visions pertaining to the use Of
bait and live decoys.
State Senator Frederick C. Nal
lSus, Dorchester County, acknowl
edged that There has been some
objection by some people to Ger
tain aspects of state cooperation
with federal authorities in the
past" He indicated that he is
aware of the identity of those
who were associated with the
present action, but declined to re
veal their names. The Senator
said that the pressure was moi
coming from his county, and that
he knew no reason why state and
federal law enforcement officers
should not work together, al
though he has heard they are moi
cooperating.
The special federal agents
made SO arrest this past week
end of shooters who were violat
ing both the federal and state
waterfowl regulations.

For Contempt

John T. Watkins, an interna-

today was fined $500 and placed
on probation for one year on
charges of contempt of Congress
The sentence was imposed by
Federal Judge Joseph C. Nc
Garraghy in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia. The judge suspended a
one-year prison term and decreed
probation for that time.
Mr.. Watkins was found guilty
last month of seven counts Of
contempt of the House Un-
American Activities subcommit-
tee. Although he had told the
subcommittee he had been very
close to the Communist Party
he said he had never held a
membership card. He expressed
willingness to testify regarding
his own relations with the party
and concerning any present
party members he knew.
In suspending the prison sem
tence, Judge McGarraghy
pointed out that the defendant
had shown mo disrespect" Of the
subcommittee and mo disorderly

OLner ADMINISTRATOR OIIlclalS OF
a Presidential veto should the
amount approved by Congress
turn out to be 8 per cent.
| In other words. nearly all par
tiles concerned are agreed that
President Eisenhower would sign
an 8 per cent classified pay raise
bill into law. even though he
might not be too enthusiastic
about it.
| Whether the classified pay
raise will be 7 or 5 per cent
will be decided next Tuesday
when the House Civil Service
Committee meets to vote on the
amount.
The committee is nearly evenly
split between the Z and 8 per
cent amount, with the issue likely
to be settled by the margin of
one vote. Most of the Repub-
lican members are siding with
the administration on the 7 per
cent figure. A notable exception
is Representative Broyhill OF
Virginia, who is siding with most
Democrats on backing an per
cent raise. To complicate the
issue. Chairman Murray of Ten
nessee-a Democrat-goes along
with most of the Republicans in
favoring a per cent measure,
/ Mr.. Broyhill and Representa-
tive Moss. Democrat, of Cali
Ifornia, who are leading the
per cent pay fight. declare that
classified employees deserve the
same treatment as postal work
ers.
I To the argument that an 8 pei
cent classified pay raise would
be unfair" to postal workers
they point out that most postal
workers have received an 8 per
cent raise or even higher. Chair
man Johnston of the Senate
Civil Service Committee is also
insisting on an per cent clas-
Isified pay raise.
/ Al yesterdays closed meeting
of the committee, Chairman
Murray relayed message from
the White House that a classi-
fed pay raise of 8 per cent
would be "unwarranted and un-
fair" to postal workers. But
nearly all the major postal en-
Iploye unions have sent wires to
Mr. Murray urging the commit
tee to approve an 8 per cent
raise for their classified COL
leagues in Government.

RETIREMENT FUND - The
Senate has voted $2l6 million
in funds to the Government S

compared to the $3.50 million
voted by the House.
| The. Senate based it's action
lon the fact that the administra-
tion is due to send Congress a
proposal soon on the annual
Government appropriation to the
fund it wishes Congress to make
Senator. Holland, Democrat, OF
Florida. said the administration
would recommend an annual
Government contribution of $21t
million.
/ The Government for the last
few years has contributed notn.
ling to the retirement fund. The
Kaplan Committee has warned
that the fund would be ex-
hausted by 1878 if this no.
