Feb. 11 (NEA) Man slaughter annually of between 2,000,000 and 4,000,000 wild ducks by smoothly-geared Mexican market gunners skillfully using batteries has prompted sportsmen oi two coun tries to organise against such sweep ing destruction of game birds. The system far transcends com mercial shooting practices rampant In the United States 100 years ago. Market gunning within the United States, while still prevalent to some extent In certain areas, has been checked substantially by federal laws. Bales of game birds are made through black market channels to some restaurants and night clubs, where they are served at fancy prices. The raising of wild ducks com mercially within the United States Is permitted under federal license or permit The Identification of commercially-raised fowl Is easily made by aluminum leg bands placed under state law provisions.

The Eugene civil air patrol Is sup posed to keep In some sort of con tact with Meissner irom tne air, follow his red coat as much as pos sible. But there are stretches of many miles where a man In a plane would not be able to spot a man on the ground. In tho trees, regardless of how clear the weather was. Meissner's plans call for a 30-day trip and he would carry auK.-n tested and dehydrated foods In a pack for his meals. Most nights he believes he can reach a forest shel ter, but some would have .to be pent In a sleeping bag and cut down army tent he will carry on his back also.

MEDFORD Thoroughly Modern Mr. an Mn. 1. t.. drier and Jot l:rlcf Fr.prl.l.ri Jail penalty are provided for viola lions In America. Abandoned butchery on such a wholesale scale below the Rio Grande cannot but nullify conser vation programs. To fight against the massacre, sportsmen have united under the banner of Ducks Unlimited, inter national restoration agency.

With that accomplished, more waterfowl will be returned In the fall for sport and recreational hunt ing. Most of the birds are bred in western Canada, and to a degree In the north central states. The program now starting was suggested to federal authorities some years ago, but for some Inexplicable reason was never developed. WSC One Full Game Cage Lead MOSCOW, Ida..
