Realm of Headless Horseman Opened for Hunting of Deer Tarrytown, N.Y.-flJPD-Here in the Sleepy Hollow hills, allegedly haunted once by a headless horseman who scared one Ichabod Crane in to permanent A.W.O.L., hunt ers are beginning to invade the vast John D. Rockefeller estate to quell a population! explosion They'll use single-slug shot guns, as per law. The over population is of deer. Hunt ers are being admitted for the first time to the hilly field and woods of the Pocan tico Hills estate, started by John D. Sr. in 1893. His son and grandsons have expand ed it to 5,000 or more acres. Rip Van Winkle slept across the Hudson in the Catskills. Washington Irving slept here. So, on occasion, do all the Rockefellers, including Nel son A., the governor of New York, who is not running for anything but who might have to duck an issue-of round ball lead-if he visits here. But all precaution is being taken against accidents. For Hunters Only A spokesman for the estate said not even the Governor himself-if he were to enter tain such a foolhary notion could get into any of the four areas, totaling 2,600 acres, where hunters will blaze away. The only persons allowed in will be 420 hunters-spe-cially assigned by days and areas so that only 75 to 115 will be hunting each day. Each has had a special ap plication approved by the State Conservation depart ment, the estate, and the town clerk. Each has been screened for color blindness, physical fitness, hunting record, and age (over 21). John D. Rockefeller Jr. has control of the estate and lives in Kijkuit. the big home built by John D. Sr., and four of the five Rockefeller boys have homes there, including the governor. The public has been barred from the home area since an unpleasantness in 1914 between grandpa and the International Workers of the World, who marched on the estate with weapons. Some sections of the estate have been open to hikers and riders: But no hunting has been allowed until the pres ent 10-day special season for deer of either sex and any age was authorized by the State Legislature for West chester, the first county north of New York City. Shotguns Specified Westchester, mindful of the populace, permits only bow-and-arrow deerslaying in the regular season, which ended Dec. 31. The bill for the spe cial season specified shotguns. The archers haven't elimi nated enough deer, which have been eating up shrub bery, crops, orchards. The guns will fire single j ball slugs of not smaller than .20 gauge-rather than buck- The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist. three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.

Marilyn K. I'm not going to take his gaff. Douglas K. I am 25 and I have a sister of 21 who is causing my mother and me a lot of grief. My father died four years ago so I am the only one my mother can turn to. Marilyn keeps going out with the most awfui creeps beatnik types with the sloppy outfits and long hair. Some of them don't even come to the house to call for her. She meets them downtown. They usually bring her home, but so late that my mother sits up looking out of the window for her. When I criticize her, she just screams, "You have no right. You're not my father." She listens to my mother sometimes, but at other times she has gotten so fresh I've had to crack her across the mouth. Marilyn K. I'm not going to take any of my brother's gaff. Where does he come off telling me what to do? Mr. Smarty Pants thinks he's God's gift to women but not to this woman, and not to my mother either. The truth is that he works my mother up over my dates and how late I stay out. I always tell Mother who I'm going with and when I'll be back and I'm rarely more than a half-hour or so off schedule. My friends may be beatniks to my brother, but they happen to be interesting people to me. I don't like bringing my dates home because my broth er looks them over as if they were dirt. How would he like it if I criticized his girl friends. Believe me, he would not take it. The Council: There is a mis sing voice in this case that of Mrs. K. We think she has turned over entirely too much au- a beautiful "new room in just one day with thority to her son. It was na tural for her to turn to him as the male of the household after the death of her hus band, but she has given him more responsibility that he is capable of handling. Douglas should recognize that a person who disciplines others should first be capable of disciplining himself. We get the impression that Doug las likes being Big Boss in his home a little too much for everyone's good. Marilyn's bitterness is proof that he has not been doing a good job of winning her confidence and guiding her in a truly help ful way. It is up to Mrs. K. to step into this picture and put an end to his tyranny. We don't think an older brother should be permitted to hit an adult sister. We admit the provoca tion may have merited such treatment, but it is still one of the signs that things are not as they should be in this home. I A 25-year-old brother can De very neiptui to a young woman, but not if she fears and dislikes him. Marilyn may need more guidance in her social activities, but it should come mainly from her moth er. If Mrs. K. feels she can not cope with the problem and needs some male assist ance, she should look for someone Marilyn likes and repsects. The man might be a relative, a clergyman or family friend. It should be someone who is capable of be ing sympathetic and objec tive and who has known Marilyn for a long time. We think that when Doug las assumes a more modest and restrained role in the household he might find that his sister would actually turn to him for advice. He should remember that he is only Big Brother not Daddy. (Copyright 1960, General Features Inc.)

THE DE LUXE LATEX WALL PAINT $HCIIISTS IN HOMIWAIIH 245 S. Central at 10th Phn SP 3-4393 DAILY'S U-DRIV; Medford Airport shot-by Conservation Depart ment order. In a recent five- day special season in four counties north of Westches ter, such guns killed around 4,400 deer-not enough, the department says. Herbert Doig, department assistant district game man ager at Poughkeepsie, N.Y., said a population of about 10 deer per square mile is best for optimum growth, nu trition, and antler develop ment. The Rockefeller estate has an estimated 300 to 400 deer. Their browsing can clean small homes of shrub bery and gardens overnight. The Rockefeller deer popu lation ideally should be about 100 for the total acreage, the state game protector for the region, Harry Saglibene, said. He said last year many were killed by automobiles and dogs. Turning io Yellow Deer hunters wear red but are now increasingly turning to irridescent yellow, which is more easily spotted, the department says. The Rocke fellers will provide four spe cial parking areas, each out side a hunting area, and the hunters will be fitted with yellow armbands lettered in I black "P.H."-for Pocantico Hills. The bands are part of the protection against interlopers. No hunter is allowed more than one deer per season. If he takes a deer, he tags it, drags it to his auto, and takes it to a warden, who removes the deer tag from his license. But the Rockefeller estate is not allowing cars inside. Leslie Sleinkofer, the super intendent, has made helpful arrangements: "If the hunter is a big guy, he may want to put the deer on his back and take it to his car. But if not, he can pull it out of the woods to one of our many cinder roads and leave it, and at 5 p.m. every day we 11 pick 'em up in our own trucks and deliver them outside.
