The members Of this Association wish to bring the fol
loving conditions regarding Wildlife in the island SO as to
give an insight intothe reason Whytwe are making the re-
quest to be sited in another part Of this letter.
We feel that existing conditions of wild life in bur Is
land and the present stock cannot stand two seasons with
out seriously depicting the already small stock.
We also feel that the period October to December
31st is a much healthier time for hunting for the peroid
July/1st to September 3Oth is destructive as this is the
mating time for deer. This could be proved by the fact
that this past year each Of the deer shot had soft velvet
horns.
The season in July is not only confusing but it is also
endangering human lives as the bird season is also open at
the same time. AS a result, you have hunters of birds with
bird shots being exposed to hunters with high powered
rifles in the brushes.
For the above reasons we ask your cooperation IN hav-
ing an amendment to the laws made whereby there will
besone season per year as in the past, and that should be
from October LIST to December 3lst.
e sincerely thank you in the best interest Of sports.

after the sentence, he filed an

His entire life had been con-

Bagdasian was convicted on

collected about $500 from a
Norfolk bettor by posing as
manager of a bookmaking es-

Mr.. Culpepper said he had

gone as high as $4,000. But,
he stated, he collected nothing.

He carefully weighed the

Judge Rozel C. Thomson told
Bagdasian he could take the

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (AP)
Stock market prices were
mostly higher in lively trading
this afternoon.
Many early gains had been
trimmed, however, and an in
creasing number of losers were
sprinkled through the list.
Most advances or declines were
from a few cents to 81 a share.
Trading slackened somewhat
from the heavy volume which
caused the ticker tape to run
late for about half an hour,
an unusually long period.
Brokers said the razor thin
margin by which Senator John
F. Kennedy was elected Presi-

his administration could not
interpret his election as any
sort of mandate to push legis-

drastic changes for business.
Those who closely follow the

that the Dow Jones indus

through the 600 level on the

Already the Secret Service is

HYANNIS PORT. Mass, Nov.

day offered to meet with Presi-

confer on problems Of con-
tinuity Of government" during
the transition from the Eisen-
hover to the Kennedy admin
iStration.
Senator Kennedy still was
working on his reply when the
Presidents telegram proposing
a meeting "at any mutually
convenient time" was made
public simultaneously here and
at the Presidents vacation
White House at Augusta, Ga,
at 10 am.
Mr.. Eisenhower also said ne
would welcome meetings be-
tween designated representa-
tives Of Senator Kennedy and
those of the present admin
istration, particularly Secretary
of State Herter.
Pierre Salinger, the President
elects press secretary, said he
expected to make public the
Kennedy reply sometime today.
Mr.. Eisenhower's message was
received late yesterday.
Press Conference Set
The President-elect scheduled
his first formal press conference
since his election for mid
afternoon in the National
Guard Armory here, which has
been converted into a press
room.
1t appeared that he wanted
to announce himself his plans
for the transition period.
In Augusta. Mr.. Eisenhower's
press secretary, James c. Hag-
erty, made Mr.. Eisenhower's
telegram public after an ex-
pected Kennedy reply had not
arrived in time to be released
simultaneously with the Pres
ident's wire, the Associated
Press reported.
Mr.. Hagerty told newsmen
he understood Senator Ken
nedy's answer presumably would
be an acceptance of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's offer. He added he did
not know the reason for Sem
ator Kennedy's delay in an
swering. Some White House
aides said it might be due to
after-campaign WEAKNESS and
Senator Kennedy's desire to
consider carefully whom to
pick for the liaison job with
Mr.. EiSenhower's lieutenants.
The PreSident-elect met this
morning with members of his
staff at the home of his
brother and campaign man

To So Million
Prediction Story
Confirmed; Figure
Highest Since 1855
BY LEE M. COIN
star stan Writer

A Labor Department report
today indicated that unemploy-
ment may increase to 5.3 mil
lion next February unless
business improves.
That would be the highest
level Of unemployment since
mid-l958. during the recession.
and presumably would present
the Kennedy administration
with the task Of combating Q
serious economic downturn.
The department reported
that the number Of jobless
workers increased last month
to $4,000 from 3,388,000 in
September. and 3,272,000 in
October, 1859.
The unemployment rate in
creased last month to ga per
cent from 81 per cent in De-
cember and 6 per cent in De-
cember, 1859. At 6.4 per cent,
the rate was the highest since
December, 1858.
Early Reports Confirmed
The report confirmed figures
reported last week in The Star
and other newspapers.
AFL-CIO President George
Meany had charged that the
Eisenhower administration was
surpressing unemployment fig
ures for political purposes.
DR.. Seymour L. Wolfbein, the
Labor Departments manpower
statistics chief, told q news
conference that the overall
figures on employment and un-
employment were ready last
week, long before the election.
But, he pointed out, subsidiary
figures which give the totals
real meaning take longer to
calculate.
The Eisenhower administra-
tion released favorable figures
on employment and unemploy-
ment before election day in
1854, 1856 and 1858.
Total employment last month
declined to 81 100000 from
67.767,000 in September, the
department reported. This
drop of 277,000 contrasted to
the normal increase Of employ
ment by 100000 between Sep
tember and october.
Seasonal Trend
The 191 900 increases in un-
employment contrasted to the
normal seasonal expectation of
a 100000 decline in joblessness
between September and Octo-
ber.
