With BILL LEETcH

Those Of us who have sat in
stake or point blind or goose pit
and listened to the sound of bab-
bling, feeding geese emitted
from the loudspeaker Of a rec
ord player. and seen the big
gray birds turn to come in over
US. may never have the privilege
Of using this device again.
The use Of all electronic wa
terfowl-calling devices is being
studied by the Fish and Wild
life Service. A complete ban or
strict control probably will be
recommended. Ross L. LETTER,
Assistant Secretary of the In
terror. believes the effectiveness
Of this type of call is so great
that extended use could threat
en- existence Of the species. This
and similar devices have been
used mainly on the East Coast
so far
On one farm where there were
four shooting pits, the Wildlife
Service reports that 1926 geese
were killed during the season.
In another incident on a blue
bird day-windless beautiful
weather which usually means
very poor hunting-an cleo
tronic recording pulled Canada
geese out Of a Federal migratory
bird refuge to a blind 500 yards
away where five hunters killed
their limit. A survey In one East
Coast goose hunting State in
dicates a kill and Gripping loss
OF 100000 geese last fall, a SUBJ
stantial increase over former
years. Much Of this increased
kill is attributed to the use of
electronic calling devices.
We predict a loud howl win 20
up from professional and COM
guides If this canned"
calling is banned. The cost of
such an outfit is considerable
and 1t win put q big dent in last
seasons net earnings II it can
not be used again. Our per-
sonal experience has been that
this sort Of loud speaker was
more effective over goose pits
dug in what were former corn
fields, where mechanical corn
pickers managed to spread many
nubbins. loose grains and whole
ears Of corn on the relatively
bare ground. and in which geese
were used to feeding through

candidates, Clement Jamelle and

President Fignole announced at q
press conference this afternoon
that Brig. Gen. Leon Cantave had
submitted his resignation as Army
Chief Of Staff.
Guarantees Offered
The provisional head Of govern
ment did not confirm or deny that
he would seek to become permanent
President. He said he would guar
antee all parties the right to or
ganize freely and; that free and
honest elections would be guaran-
teed, but added that he still recog-
nized his own rights.
M. Fignole said he would organ
ize a provisional Cabinet during
the next two days. The Cabinet
will draw up provisions for the ell
ection and set the date for voting,
he declared.
Both General Cavante and Lieut..
Col. Pierre Armand, Chief of Po-
lice, were present at the swearing
in of M. Fignole at the Presidential
Palace this morning. The three
Presidential candidates who formed
the coalition visited the Port-au-

Dejoie Calls For Calm
Speculation concerning a posi-
BILE new chief of staff centered OF
Col. Antonio Kabreau, former COM
mander Of the Southern Military
District.
Senator Dejoie broadcast over
Radio Commerce here this after
noon message asking his fol-
lowers remain calm. He referred
to himself as "a presidential can
didate."
About 10000 persons, most of
them obviously Fignole supporters,
witnessed the swearing-in cere-
mony, which was followed by a
salute.
There was wild rejoicing
throughout the capital after the
ceremony ended. Thousands of per-
sons danced in the streets, shout
ing Fignole slogans and firing pis-
tolls into the air. Supporters of
the new President began roaming
the city, apparently in search of
Dejoie followers.
Legal and diplomatic questions
raised by todays developments
were being studied this morning.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1957-06-08

The United States Government, a.
well as most of the others repre-
sented automatically here, had rec
ognized the Executive Council, com
posed of representatives Of M. Fig
mole and Senator Dejoie, as the de-
facto Government.
The council was ousted Tuesday
when General Cantave took over
the direction Of national affairs b,
proclamation. The status of thu
generals military dictatorship wa!
in doubt, and the legality Of the
new Government headed by M. Fig.
mole also is uncertain.
The new situation brings Jumelle
back into the confused political pic.

weeks. He was excluded from par.
ticipation in the original Executive
Council because there was an orde,
