Information to this effect was re- ceived in Bismarck Tuesday from Congressman Usher L. Burdick, who enclosed & copy of a letter received by him from J. Clark Salyer, II, of- ficer in charge of the migratory wa- terfowl division of the bureau of biological survey at Washington. Commenting on a letter from the Bismarck committee, appointed to promote government interest in the Burleigh county project, and upon the program to provide waterfowl re- fuges, said: Salyer said: “As you know, the national migra- tory waterfowl program is now en- tering upon the final stages of com- pletion and we feel that, despite the restrictions under which we have had to work and the numerous setbacks which we have experienced, we have done a creditable job.

It was apparent that if we were to check the alarming de- crease in our waterfowl population, speedy action toward the restoration of the natural breeding grounds, which were almost ruined by the (Continued on Page Two) NAVY MASSES SHIPS FOR BIG ‘OFFENSIVE’ ‘Black Fleet’ and ‘White Fleet’ Prepare for Most Spectac- ular Phase of Games Aboard Battleship Pennsylvania, Pearl harbor, Hawaii, May 14.—(>)— Somewhere in the South Bering Sea, “factory” for periodic gales sweep down on the north Pacific, the fastest striking naval battle force ever assembled there was preparing Tues- day under Vice Admiral Arthur J.

This force, the “Black Fleet” di- vision of the United States navy, awaited the beginning of the most spectacular phase of the fleet man- euvers which will include 153 fight- ing ships and hosts of coast guard and patrol craft.

Langer in connection with a radio address. The former governor overran his allotted time and was shut off the air before he got to that part of his speech but it was contained in the typewritten copy released to the press. This also was true of passages 're- ferring to Governor Walter Welford and opposing efforts to recall him. They were contained in the prepared address but were not given over the air as Langer tried to get within his 15-minute time limit. PROCEDURE IN LANGER CASE STILL UNDECIDED Washington, May 14.—(?)—After two days of conferences with P. W. Lanier, United States district at- torney for North Dakota, the partment of justice Tuesday an- nounced that no decision had been reached as to the future of the government's case against former Governor William Langer. Lanier conferred with Joseph Keenan, assistant U, 8. attorney general, and received a number of suggestions which the department said would require study. A deci- sion is not expected for several weeks, it was said. vee! Lanier, who prosseuted Benger and obtained a conviction on a charge of misuse of federal funds, is faced with two alternatives as a result of the circuit court decision reversing the conviction. The government may either re- try the case or appeal to the Unit- ed States supreme court. Under the proposed constitutional amendment to abolish the supreme court, five district judges would con- stitute the state’s highest tribunal, each serving on the court in turn, It advanced as an economy measure. The absent voters ballot was de- clared to have been “shamefully mis- used and abused .... chiefly in our larger cities.” Petitions to place the measures on the ballot were declared to have been already initiated. Otherwise there was little that was new in Langer’s address, his first speech since the federal court of a} peals reversed the decision by which he was convicted in federal district court on charges of conspitacy against the government. Raps Recall Movement Langer's discussion of this case was Practically the same as that contain- ed in statements previously released to the press. He asserted that the government had spent $125, to prove that he was an honest governor.

Twenty-nine Manila precincts voted 5,408 for ratification of the - wealth charter, to 106 against it. The vote, cast without a show of a rumor- ed violence from Sakdalista, extrem- ists, represented about half the elec- torate in the precincts ‘The spread in votes was far greater appeared at polls heavily guarded by constabulary forces who were deter- mined to prevent outbreaks by the Sakdalistas, main group opposing the ‘commonwealth government. A bloody uprising by these extrem- ists May 2, resulted in more than 60 deaths as constabulary forces moved quickly to suppress the uprising. The Sakdalistas demand immediate inde- pendence, rather than going through the 10-year transitional period pro- vided by the Tydings-McDuffie act. Rumors that these followers would tise in revolt Tuesday prompted gov- ernment authorities to take stringent preventive measures. Nearly 600 per- sons, including some leaders of he Sakdal movement, have been jailed since the May 2 outbreak in precau- tionary moves by the government, Step Toward I: ’s plebiscite represented another step involving the 14,000,000 Filipinos on the road to independence as pointed out by congress in the 1934 Tdyings-McDuffie act. The charter on which the vote was held was completed in February by a convention which worked on it for more than six months. President Roosevelt formally certified on March 28 that it conformed with terms of the independence act.
