Migrating Birds
Can't Be Baited
If you feed 'em, you can't
shoot 'em. -, v
That's the gist of Federal
regulations prohibiting the
taking of migratory water
fowl with the aid of feed
or bait as explained today
by a Department of the Interi
or official at Portland.
iLeo L. Laythe, regional di
rector of the Bureau of Sport
Fisheries and Wildlife of the
U.S. Fish and wildlife serv
ice, said there ' is nothing in
the Federal anti-baiting regu
lations that prohibits the feed
ing of migratory waterfowl.
"The regulation deals with
shooting in conjunction with
feeding; if such feed is put
out, regardless of where or
when placed and it becomes
a means by which the hunter
attracts migratory waterfowl
. to the gun, such shooting
would be 'unlawful,'.' Laythe
said. -
The regional director warn
ed that the responsibility for
violation of the Federal regu
lations is placed directly on
the hunter regardless of
whether he is the one to place
the bait.

them.

Against Vargas
By JAMES DOYLE
Portland, Ore.- (UPD -Eddie
Machen, who said he would
do his talking in the ring,
hoped today that he was elo
quent enough against Rueben
Vargas to earn a shot at the
heavyweight championship.
Im ready to take on In-
gemar Johansson in his own
back yard," Machen said after
blasting Vargas in 1:55 of the
sixth round for a technical
knockout at the Oregon Cen
tennial Exposition grounds
Wednesday night.
Vargas, 195, was sent to
his knees for an eight count
in that round, but he arose
and was plastered against the
ropes at Machen's mercy. The
referee, Ralph Gruman, stop

"These guys ain't just dull.
They seem to enjoy bein' dull.

Floyd Patterson, ' the form
er heavyweight champion
who becomes the invisible
man between bouts and did
his most recent training in
the secluded wilds of New
Jersey, gets a straight tip
from the Rock. One thing
about Graziano, between
fights he met more people
than a widow at a seashore
resort.
"Patterson should oughtta
remember," says the Rock,
"that you don't excite people
by hiding away in New

When I go to Joisey, I go there
t'play golf."

Steve Allen agreed to go
along with Rocky on this

Just act natural," Allen
told him.. "Say what you feej

Rocky enjoys comedians
and feels a close kinship with
them.
Half the comedians in the

He was stunned by a series
of left and right hooks by
Machen.
"But I don't want to blame
it on any one thing because I
got beat," Vargas said. He
said he was "shook up real
hard" in the sixth before he
went to the canvas.
The two heavyweights
fought a close battle through
five rounds with Machen, 197,
Portland, Ore., scoring more
blows but with the Mexican
on the aggressive. Vargas
plodded forward through
most of the bout, stopped only
by Machen's occasional out
bursts of fury.
It was the 28th pro bout
for the fifth-ranked Machen
and his 26th win. He had a
draw with Zora Folley in
1958 and was knocked out in
the first round by Johansson
