Waterfowl Hunting Outlook Bright For This Fall, Survey Indicates By JANE EADS WASHINGTON It looks like good hunting this fall. Slight In creases In the population of wild ducks, geese, swan, coot and oth er waterfowl are being recorded by the U. S. Fun and Wildlife Service, which has surveyed the birds' wintering and breeding ar eas. The Service's winter Inventory showed that, while the overall increase in all waterfowl was only one percent, the tncr in ducks was about 12 percent over last year. Current surveys of breeding grounds in the north in dicate an .improved flight south." Just how many birds hunters may shoot each season is deter mined on the basis of an esti mated waterfowl population, the number of prospective hunters, weather conditions and other things. Waterfowl population is determined by studies of fly ways In four sections of the coun try over which the birds migrate back and forth. Eight airplanes carrying two biologists, one of whom is a pilot, fly about 40 miles over the same areas each year. At a height of 75 to 100 feet above ground the men are able to count the birds in the wintering areas and make their estimates on the basis of com parisons with counts of other years.

The men go out, first count ducks In pairs, find the birds' nests, note how many eggs are laid, how many hatched, what the av erage brood size of each bird is at hatching time and at the time they are able to fly. This way they get a pretty good Idea how many birds will be flying south come fall. Canadian wildlife groups work with the United States biologists. Conditions in breeding grounds vary each year, says Cecil Wil liams, in charge of this govern ment's waterfowl management investigations. For instance this year, he told me, Alberta and Saskatchewan areas suffered a severe drought. Birds which for merly sought nesting places there settled elsewhere, mostly in the parkland regions of Mani toba. A new mission was sent out this year to study the Ungava peninsula, in the Labrador re gions to determine its importance as a producing area for water fowl. Mr. Williams said not many ducks were found, but Fish and Wildlife biologists Carl Ecklund and Leon Cool found quite a num ber of geese.

What makes it news Is that Flora is an elephant aboard the American President lines freighter President Taft, five days out of Yokohama. The vessel's skipper, Capt. W. S. Tyrrell, retreated into silence after messaging laconically that Flora's monumental labor was not far off. The Taft Is due here next Tues day with a load of animals for the Los Angeles loo. There was every indication Flora would be a mama before then. Carey Baldwin, director of the San Francisco zoo, expressed fear Flora and her offspring might be "killed with kindness." He explained: "It's tricky business, but all they have to do is to leave Flora alone and give her plenty of pri vacy and she'll have her baby all right." Once born, the baby should be taken from the mother. Baldwin said, because sometimes mother elephants "exhibit matricidal tendencies." The calf should be; bottle-fed, he said. New Council Of Europe Splits On Proposed Admittance Of Germans Tnyr.. Aug. 11. 1949 The Newt-Review, koteburg, Or. 3 By FRANK. O'BRIEN. STRASBOURG, France. Aug. 11. LP Former French Premier Edouard Herroit declares a di vision of minds exists on the question of admitting Germans to the new Council of Europe. In a prepared address to the opening session of the Council's consultative assembly Herrlot in dicated Western Germany would have to work her wav into the organization with proofs that she no longer harbors aggressive in tentions. He told the 101 delegates from 12 nations that the assembly would deal with "problems of life and death" for Europe. "A closer association of Eu rope presents itself as a matter of urgency." he said. Many political leaders of west ern Europe hope that the discus sions here will mark a long ad vance toward the goal at full uni ty of that portion of Europe out side the Soviet orbit There have been proposals to Include Western Germany in the organization as soon as the new West German government li functioning. It was thought that Herriot's statement on the ques lon perhaps reflected the point of view of the French delegation. France has a deep-seated fear of German aggression based on ex periences of history. Herrlot, a leader in the move ment for European unity, paid special tribute Jo V.'!n.;on Churchill, declaring: "From his mind sprang Ihe movement which has brought us together here."
