Wildlife
Situation
Critical
' WASHINGTON. April 22 (
Wildlife In the United States Is
i facing one of Its most critical periods
I In history, in the opinion of Albert
I M. Dav. chief of the federal fish
' and wildlife service.
! In testimony before the house ap
propriations committee, made public
today, he said there were about
17 ,000.000 people, exclusive of com
mercial fishermen, who purchased
hunting and fishing licenses.
"Recent returns of hunting and
fishing licenses, which ended June
30, 1946. shows a 20 per cent Increase
over the previous year," Day added.
.; "It reached the highest figure In
all history of over 9.850.000 as com
pared with approximately 8500.000
in 1945. The sale of duck stamps
increased from less than 1300.000 in
1942 to almost 1300.000 in 1946. Pish
ing license sales jumped from around
8.000.000 in 1943 to more than 6.250.
000 in 1945.
"It looks now like peace can be
harder on wild game and fish than
war."
If congress approves recom
mendation made yesterday by the
house appropriations committee,
state conservation commissions
can pick up their wildlife restora
tion projects where they halted
during the war.
The committee recommended a
provision in the interior department
appropriation bill that federal aid
for wildlife restoration projects in
clude all ammunition license fees
and similar funds received during
the year ending next June 30 and
credited to the wildlife restoration
fund.
This amount Is expected by some
state conservation commissioners to
amount to (5.000,000. The com
mittee said an additional tl5,000,dbo
accumulated in the wildlife fund
during the war.

Judging from early returns, the
attendance at the major league
baseball parks this season should
come pretty close to matching last
year's record.
Despite poor weather which has
caused the postponement of 16
games during the lirsl week ot ac
tion and cut into the crowds In
others, the 16 big league clubs drew
a combined total of 786.991 cash
customers, an average of 18.309 per
game.
During Uie first week a year ago,
the majors, taking advantage of
perfect oaseball weather, got In 50
of their 63 scheduled games which
attracted an average ot 30.038 per
game.
With the Increase in the number
of night games and added interest
in such cities as Pittsburgh and
Cleveland, where new owners have
taken over. It is not Inconceivable
that the 1947 attendance will ap
proach, if not top, last year's amus
ing figures.
