Own Little Navy

The nauticallyminded Kennedys have inherited
two official cabin cruisers for their use These two

Eisenhower who ordered the 244-fOOt Williamsburg,
the pride of President Truman's private fleet put
into mothballs. Mr.. Eisenhower used the yacht now
called the Honey Fitz-then the Barbara Anne
principally as a floating locker room during golf
ing vacations at Newport r. l. Both Presidential
cruisers (the White House dislikes calling them
yachts were originally owned by private citizens
but were taken over for Navy duty during World
WarH.
For most occasions like short cruises for candid
chats with visiting digntary the currently Operat
ing boats may be adequate But for anything as
sumptuous as formal state parties or long cruises
the Navy may have to dig into its storage lockers to
find something more seawOrthy. But if worse comes
to worse the President always ask his father if
he can borrow his

There are many effective
anti = fouling paints on the
market, but none of them are
permanent. To get, the most
value from an anti-fouling
paint, the paint should be ap-

The type of fouling organisms

covering East and West coasts
have been compiled by a Gov

waters fouling is usually worse

Intensity of fouling may vary
from location to location in

HUNTING
Waterfowl
Hurt by
Drought
BY the Associated Press

Drought again has driven
large numbers Of ducks from
the most productive portion Of
their North American breeding
range - the prairie pothole
region-the Interior Depart
has reported.
AS a result, the threat Of
another duck crop failure in
that area looms for 1861, the
Fish and Wildlife Service said.
The 1859 duck crop in the
area was regarded as a failure
and production was below ex-
pectations last year.
The service added, however,
that the overall status of the
duck breeding population this
year and its distribution pat
tern are not yet entirely clear.
In Canada, the aerial survey
flights in the southern half
OF the provinces of Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba
have been completed. Only
preliminary reports have been
received from three survey
teams further north, however.
With the northern surveys
still in progress, the final re-
port on the 1861 duck breed
ing population cannot be COM
piled.
From information received
80 far, the service said, it ap-
pears that the breeding popu-
lation is about the same as
it was a year ago, and ap-
parently smaller than the
population at the start Of the
1859 nesting season.
Survey data this year re-
vealed the mallard population
in the southern portions of
the three prairie provinces is
SIS per cent below the peak Of
1885," the service said. "Pin-
tail ducks are down 79 per
cent from a peak in 1856. !
Reports from the surveys
In the Dakotas Minnesota,
duck nesting area reveal the
number Of birds there is not
much changed from last year
but is up considerably over
1859. However, the number of
water areas is less than two
years ago at this stage of the
breeding season. Many ducks
In this area were in groups
of mixed sexes and did not
appear to be nesting.
THE preliminary informa-
ton from the far north is as
follows:
1.-THE crew operating in
Alaska reports no change in
breeding ducks Of species inn
portant to hunters. The crew
in northern Alberta and
Northwest Territories says
ducks, which are normally
prairie nesters, are up con-
siderably. The crew flying
northern Saskatchewan. north
ern Manitoba, and in Ontario
voices the possibility that the
overall duck nesting popula-
ton will be down from 1860
levels"
The duck nesting areas will
be flown again in July by the
survey teams.
