Hunting & Fishing l ' ' Hh Vir98 Rupp Although alligators remain for midable creatures, they no longer are growing to their former mass jve proportions, according to rec ords maintained by the Fish and Wildlife Service. A century ago, 15-foot alligators were pretty much run-of-the-mill Fourteen-footcrs were still around as recently as 50 years ago. But to day a twelve-foot specimen is re garded as near the maximum. That is why an alligator measur ing 13" feet caused something of a stir when he was hauled out of the water at the Delta National Wild life Refuge in Louisiana. He was promptly dubbed "01' Gram'pa" and entered in the records as the biggest alligator ever taken on Del ta Refuge. Like the buffalo, the alligator has been subjected to heavy hunting in years gone by. Because of the inaccessibility of some of its habi tat, however, the alligator has been able to survive in large numbers despite greatly decreased living space and a century of extremely heavy harvesting. From 1800 until 1801. more than 2,500,000 of these animals were har vested in the State of Florida alone. As late as 1900, some 280,000 alli gator skins were being processed in the United States annually. The harvest varies from year to year, and from refuge to refuge. "01' Gram'pa" was one of 400 taken last year on Delta Refuge. But on the Sabine National Wildlife Ref uge, also in Louisiana, the harvest has been as great as 1,300 in a year. Several of the refuges in the South have natural habitat for alli gators. The Fish and Wildlife Ser- ice follows management practices which will assure all species of wildlife as much living room as possible. Alligators are protected until their numbers approach the carrying capacity of their habitat, and then harvesting is permitted. Among the natural enemies o( the alligator are the raccoon and the bear. The raccoon does not match his legendary shrewdness against the snapping jaws and the whipping tail of an alligator, and the bear does not engage the 'gator In direct conflict. But the alligator Is an egg-laying reptile, and the raccoon and the bear obtain those morsels with comparative safety. The young alligator is eight inch es long at hatching, and weighs about two ounces. It gains only a half-pound the first year and is prey of a number of denizens liv ing In or near the water. Even larger young 'gators are fair food for gar and other fish which reach large dimensions. But at three years, the alligator weighs about 15 pounds and meas ures three feet. He then is able to take care of himself against most adversaries. Drouth is a distinct enemy of -the filligator. It kills a lot of the things upon which the alligator feeds, and destroys his natural hab itat. As with many other examples of wildlife, individual alligators are "tagged" for purposes of biologic al study. Fish and Wildlife per sonnel do tlieir alligator tagging at night from small boats. They con fine their efforts to the juveniles, avoiding personal tussles with alli gators more than three feet long. When tagging operations are un derway, a dozen or two of the animals are caught during an eve ning, and the metal tags affixed. Alligator hides do not attract high prices on the market. Three or four decades ago, a seven-foot specimen would be worth from !)0 cents to $1.65, depending for the most part upon the location of the market and the quality of the hide. Pricing today is bared en a per-foot-of-alligator basis, with prices rancine from $1.25 to $2..Vt per foot.

In witnessing the 3-2 Portland victory, a crowd of 3495 saw a tight pitchers duel between Port land's Bob Alexander and the Star's Curt Raydon. Alexander, in winning his fourth mime of the year against seven defeats, al lowed eight hits in the nine inn ings he pitched and Raydon al lowed one less to the Beavers. Raydon's record is now even at 6-6. The winning run came when Solly Drake opened the eighth with a walk. He was sacrificed to second by Bobby Adams, Raydon gave Luis Marquez an intentional walk and after Frank Car-swell had struck out, Bob Borkowski drilled a sharp single to 6core the speedy Drake from second base. After Portland had opened the scoring with one run in the first inning on Marquez' single and C a r s w e Il's double, Hollywood came back to tie it up in the fiflh and then go one run ahead in the sixth. Portland tied it up in the sixth on an error by third baseman Jim Baumer, that allowed Mar quez to go all the way to second. He scored from there on Cars well's single.

Girard shall be tried by Japanese courts on a charge of manslaughter scarcely can be understood ex cept by persons on the scene here in Washington. As the matter stands today, Federal Judge Joseph C. McGar raghy's ruling of last Tuesday holds that to turn Girard over to the Japanese would be to deprive him of rights guaranteed to an American citizen by the United States Constitution. The Justice Department has appealed directly to the Supreme Court, contending that McGarra ghy's decision was "clearly wrong" and that it would be in the public interest to obtain speedy disposition of the Girard case. Agreements Seen Endangered Administration officials fear dis ruption throughout the world of the relationship of American troops overseas and the govern ments of the countries in which they are stationed. One official suggested that, if the Supreme Court forbids a Japanese trial for Girard, the whole structure of agreements under which U.S. troops are based overseas would collapse. "We well might have to with draw our soldiers from Japan and perhaps from other countries," this official suggested. He ex plained that the governments of the countries involved could and perhaps would insist that U.S. sol diers be subject in some degree to local arrest and local law. Immediate.

The court's position is wholly in defense of an individual's consti tutional rights against encroach ments by congressional investiga tors or federal prosecutors. This point of view was ex pressed in extending the protec tion of the Constitution to several individuals who were Communists or who had had close Communist associations in the past. Having so carefully protected the rights of persons with a record of asso ciation with the Communist con spiracy, it generally is assumed here that the Supreme Court would equally defend the consti tutional rights of a U.S. soldier.
