Sen. Morse (D-Ore) said Saturday. The department under McKay "has shown itself more than willing to endanger recreational and wild life 'values, whenever a piece of the people's resources is coveted by monopoly and big business," Morse said. "The charges of the Wildlife Management Institute. ..are very grave," the senator continued in a statement. "I have not heard that the I'nited States is suffering from a crisis in its oil supply. Quite the contrary, our position in this respect is excellent. Therefore there cannot be the slightest jus tification for this latest giveaway on any such grounds. McKay has said the charges are political. He said his department's new regulations give maximum protection to wildlife reservations in which oil and gas leases are granted. Morse said all but 12 of the 264 refuges have been thrown open to private oil development. ; Abducted Girl, Mother Joined NEW YORK Wl - A -year-old girl, abducted three weeks ago and then abandoned on a Chicago street, rejoined her mother Satur day night in a tearful scene at La Guardia Airport. - Anna Wolf Buckley dashed ahead of a group of policemen escorting her from a plane that brought her here and ran into her mother's arms.
