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.

2-2 tie and down the Hollywood
Stars for the third straight time
in a Pacific Coast League base
ball game.
In witnessing the 3-2 Portland
victory, a crowd of 3495 saw a

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.

WASHINGTON (UP) - The ad-!!
ministration's urgent determina- j howf ver' ot a decisin favorable
tlon that GI William S. 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.

The court's position is wholly in

This point of view was ex

individuals who were Communists

associations in the past. Having
so carefully protected the rights
