I'm Defense of q Duck Hunter

stimulate the economy"
Many a State already has
reduced the length Of the
hunting season to about 20
days and has drastically
limited the number of ducks
that can be killed. The limit
has gradually gone from IS
q day to is TO 8 and finally
to two or three q day. There
is a total ban on killing
certain species Of ducks.
But maybe there is a soln-
ton to all this which will, on
the one hand, conserve wild
life while, on the other, 1t will
do no harm to the shotgun
and ammunition industries
or to rivalries in the field Of
sports. This writer, who once
covered sports for q news
paper, saw Fred Gilbert, ma
tional champion, shoot down
496 flying discs out of 500,
and 1t was more exciting than
some sportsmen find their
shooting TO be in their long
vigils In duck blinds. Besides,
thousands Of people have q
chance to witness trap-shoot-
ing tournaments.
Senator Fulbright, as chair
man Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, may
not have realized 1t, but 1t is
important not to create any
new problems in international
relations that might be of
fensive" or embarrassing" to
heads Of governments abroad.
For, after all, Prime Minister
Macmillan is a dedicated
hunter of grouse and is said
to be very expert with a shot
gun. Then there's Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev, who
likes to hunt wild boar and
occasionally crosses the Polish
border to do so. This is only
hearsay but maybe, in an
era Of "on-site inspections"
all these earth-shaking re-
ports will be duly verified,
including the exact number

DAVID LAWRENCE

Someone in Congress Is
always taking the Joy out of
life. Now it's the duck hunt
ing Of former President
Eisenhower that is being
frowned upon by Senator j.
William Fulbright, Democrat
OF Arkansas. He told the
Senate on Monday that Gen.
Eisenhower set a bad example
by shooting 40 ducks and IS
other birds in about a three
hour period of hunting in
Northern Mexico.
But the Central Intelligence
Agency hasn't yet verified
the figures. and it is reliably
reported that there were no
U-2s in the vicinity to deter
mine how many ducks we're
actually shot down and how
many still remain.
, But, according to a handy
IBM computer, rs birds Of
any kind downed in three
hours means one every two
minutes. 1t would take q
pretty good shot to average
that number, even II birds
were plentiful and there were
few misses. 1t is quite pos
sible that there were four or
five other members in the
Eisenhower party, but this is
only rumor and probably it
would be a violation Of the
Bipartisan" spirit Of the
times even to mention 1t.
Senator Fulbright said in
his speech that Arkansas has
placed a limit Of one mallard
a day on the duck hunters
because the decline in the
Nations duck population has
become serious. What Mr..
Fulbright doesn't know per-
haps Is that the ducks which
fly back and forth from
Mexico to the United States
and Canada aren't diminished
in any appreciable quantity
by visiting hunters from the
United States.

Sentiments of rebellion
against the Kennedy admin

been steadily rising in recent
months. At the same time,
however, practical Republic
can prospects for usefully ex-
plotting this situation must
be described as very iffy.
Democratic politicians Of

USlA's Program of World Opinion Polls
Thought to Contain Several Weaknesses

Edward r. Murrow, though
no longer q regular guest in
our living rooms, is remem-
bered, and ! think favorably,
by q vast audience Of TV
viewers and radio listeners.
A good many Of them may
wonder what has become OF
him. though 1t is more often
the fate Of those who flash
across the electronic screen
that they are quickly and
often gratefully forgotten.
Ed Murrow, having had his
fill Of the fleeting fame and
high tax rates Of big time
television, accepted President
Kennedy's appointment as
chief Of the United States In

into this operation Donald
Wilson, Of Life Magazine,

To measure what they are
doing right. what they are
doing wrong and how better
TO influence opinion In the
los countries where US1A
operates, the market analysis
technique is used. Polls Of
national attitudes and opin-
ions are taken. There are
several outstanding weak
nesses in these polls.
First, they cannot be
considered to be an accurate
or safe guide to policy. Many
Of the countries where polls
are taken are at q sub-level
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-03-06

Of national consciousness.
This Is particularly true in
Africa and Asia. where some
nations are merely tribal ass
sociations or loose ethnic
groupings without lasting
form.
In other countries-dozens
could be named-public opin-
ion exists only as O reflec-
ton Of the carefully con-
trolled radio and press. Meas
uring opinion in such areas
is no more than taking the
temperature Of the local gov
eminent officials without
whose consent USrA could
not even exist. 1t can be no
more than q pretense that
USIA has somehow managed
to reach In and around these
governments to assay and
exploit the true temper of
the people.
Secondly, such prestige
polls seem more especially
adapted to domestic political
purposes, or to Justify in
creasing expenditures by
USIA. This, 80 far as can
be seen, has been the real
impact of the polls. They
were used for political pur-
poses in the Kennedy cam
paign for the Presidency. and
only the very naive would
suppose that they would not
be used in this way again BY
either Republicans or Demo-
Gratis.
Another weakness Of the
polls. however, is the most
important. They tend TO be
O substitute for mature judg-
ment and experience. an easy
way to justify any happy
thought project emerging
from Q brain-storming ses-
sion.
But more than this. the
polls figure in the determine

Of the grave problem that

From a former official Of

refused to take the Fifth
Amendment, although he has
been an enthusiastic duck
hunter for many years
comes the testimony that in
Mexico the so-called mar
ket hunters" operate In
groups and, with dozens Of
guns firing simultaneously,
shoot down several hundred
ducks every hour, day after
day. By comparison. he said,
all the visiting hunters from
the United States account for
q negligible number.
But Congress and the
Treasury Department, by
putting q crimp in expense

aged to reduce the demand
from restaurants In this
country anyhow, so there
isn't any real need to kill so
many ducks, after all. It's

life in this hemisphere,

Robert F. Kennedy, himself
has presidential ambitions
for 1868. But the politicos
down this way don't buy
such an idea for an instant,
nor did they even before the

They think it is the Presi-
