The agency which controls the sportsman's trigger finger re duced the shooting of ducks and geese to 30 days in the East and 35 days in the Central and West ern slates. This is the shortest season since the duck-depression years of the mid-thirties. The new regulations also shor tened each hunting day by an hour, and clamped new limita tions on the number of waterfowl a hunter may kill in one day or accumulate in more than a day. Furthermore no hunter may keep his catch in storage for more than 90 days after the season's ending. The earliest seasons begin Sept. 1, in Alaska and some norih em states. President Truman signed a proclamation yesterday making the 1947 rules effective. 'Poor' Season Forecast Acting Secretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman said "reduc tions in the hunting season and bag limits are necessary this year to stem the noticeable decrease in waterfowl over the past three years. "If the sport of wlldfowling is to continue, we must regulate the take to less than the season's increase." Albert M.
