PULLMAN. Wash., Jan. 38. (AP)
The Washington State college five,
downtrodden with five straight de
feats at the start of the northern
division race, were worthy foes for
any team today after taking their
second straight win from the Uni

The win, earned largely through the
snapshooting of Radph Rogers, vet
eran guard, who counted 15 points,
gave the Cougars an even split for
the season with the Web feet. On
this previous night, Rogers had count
ed 13 points.
The Cougars piled up to 30-to-11
lead at the half,

INCREASE IN FREIGHT
5ENGERS DUE
SAYS RAILROAD CHIEF
8T. LOUIS (UP) Increased car
loadings and advances In passenger
traffic on railroads during 1935 were
predicted by Frank E. Strouse, Penn
sylvania railroad official, at a meet
ing of St. Louis business men.
"The increased traffic will go a
long way toward Insuring prosperity
for the railroads," Strouse said.
"Since the public la finding out that
Main Street, and not Wall Street
owns the railroads, there has been a
much better understanding of what
rail service means to the nation.
"Nearly one-half of the taxes paid
by railroads In the country goes to
public schools. They educate between
1,000.000 and 3,000.000 pupils each
year, at an average cost of 990 a year
for each student.
"The railroad companies and their
workers are liberal spenders," accord
ing to Strouse. "Last year the rail
roads obtained millions of dollars
from the PWA. all of which will be
used to pay wages and buy materials
and supplies.
"At present, $2,000,000,000 worth
of securities are owned by 40.000.
00 people who compose the life In
surance companies of this country.
More than $1.00,000,000 of the sav
ing bank funds Is Invested In the
railroad securities."
Strouse added that the Increase In
revenue car-loadings In November
and December, 1934, was decidedly
greater than thnt of the same months
in 1933 and that last year wan the
first year since 1923 that passenger
traffic showed an increase.
NANKING (API The biggest con

The new channel. 258 miles long,

NEW YORQ. Jan. 23. ll?) The
question of whether hunters are to
be permitted to shoot ducks In 1933
a topic that has electrified the 21st
American game conference, which
closes today probably will be left
unsettled by the 600 delegates from
the United States and Canada.
From an authoritative source It wa
learned that the resolution. Intro
duced by John Baker, executive di
rector of the National Society of Au
dubon societies, recommending a
year's moratorium beginning next
September, has been withdrawn by
the Audubon societies.
Word of this development, which
considerably weakened the cause of
the proponents for a ban on duck
shooting, in an effort to give the
birds an opportunity to repopulate,
spread like wildfire through the con
ference halls after the meeting of the
resolutions committee, which weigh
ed the testimony submitted yesterday
In a four-hour migratory waterfowl
symposium.
The Audubon societies. It la under
stood, withdrew the resolution, which
also proposed federal enforcement of
duck shooting, in exchange for assur
ance that the committee would leave
the decision on a definite recom
mendation up to the United States
biological survey.
Under the supervision of J. N.
(Ding) Darling, the survey is making
a study of the duck population In this
country. It will be several weeks be
fore & report of Its findings can be
determined.
