Gerhardt, commandant at Fort Lincoln, has served his country—and hunted wildfowl—in many parts of the . globe. He is a sportsman with a sportsman’s code. Yet he would rather see a wild bird fly than see it fall. In this Col. Gerhardt is not alone. There are many like him who see beauty in the flash of a Teal’s wing in the sun- light, hear a symphony as the partridge thunders from cover, get wider vision from the steady beat of a wild goose’s wings as it sweeps by high overhead. On one occasion, when Col. Gerhardt was hunting in China, he failed to shoot at the ducks which flew nearby, content to watch them. He didn’t need the meat. His Chinese retriever, ‘(they used men instead of dogs in China) therafter refused to accompany him when he went hunting. The colonel had lost face by his refusal to kill for the sheer joy of killing. Both hunters and those who merely like to watch birds in flight will get pleasure from the fact that this year’s crop of ducks was the largest in seven years. J. N. Darling, cartoonist and sportsman, thinks so and so does Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey. New breeding grounds, improved natural conditions and more game refuges have combined to reverse the trend of recent years with regard to the wild fow! population. It will require $25,000,000 to complete the program out- Jined by the government for complete restoration of the duck population. Many will oppose this expenditure and duck hunters will fight for it. If the hunters win it will be largely because pf the support of those who, like Col. Gerhardt, would rather see them fly than see them fall. Man does not live by bread alone. Neither does the sports- man live by the meat he brings home to his table. The flash of a wing in the sunlight sometimes is more satisfying than the goose on the platter. The Women Want It American clubwomen have taken up the cause of calendar reform. : After careful examination, their national organization has espoused the proposal to divide the year into four periods cf three months each, as proposed by the World Calendar| bill association. Each quarter would begin on a Sunday and end on a Sat- i urday and the holidays of the year would always fall on the j same date, or at least within a limited period as in the case of { Easter, which might either be on April 8 or the second Sunday in that month. \ Business has long advocated such a system and many firms have adopted it in order to make accurate comparisons of one year with another. ie A change in the calendar would require’ an international agreement and the women have enlisted in the army working toward that end. The Gregorian calendar was a vast improvement over the Julian calendar which preceded it, but even now not all coun- tries adhere to it. The adoption of a standard calendar has taken centuries and it is possible that it will be years before the World calendar is accepted. smarck Tribune} Behind nt Scenes This is the fourth of six stories on congress and what lies ahead of it in special session. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 19—Reorganiza- tion of the federal government, for decades a diverting topic of conversa- tion, seems likely to become a reality as the 75th Congress assembles to act or not to act on the Roosevelt program. The best reason for thinking so is the fact that reorganization bills de- signed to effect a portion of the recommendations of Roosevelt and his Brownlow-Merriam-Gulick committee of experts, carries an obvious price tag. The price, payable to congress, would be the removal of a thousand or more government career men—bu- chiefs, division heads and so on & process which would lay their Jobs open to patronage raids. And the price may be raised before congress gives the president some of the pow- ers he wants for the purpose of “stream-lining” the executive set-up. Sixty Days for Veto The administration, with reserva- tions, backs the omnibus bill which. will be pushed by. Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina. The bill provides presidential authority to transfer, re-group or abolish bureaus, agencies, services and functions, ex- cept in the case of independent agencies such as the Interstate Com- merce, Securities Exchange and Fed- eral Trade Commissions, Congress would have 60 days to veto any change it didn’t like. A 15- year term civil service administrator would replace the present civil service commission and would be charged hae developing a federal career serv- The president would be authorized to bring about 300,000 now-exempt federal employes into the civil service and to establish a new department of welfare under a cabinet. secretary, who presumably would be Harry Hop- kins of WPA. The comptroller general's office would be abolished and a general auditing department—under executive direction—be placed with the budget bureau, with pre-audit functions plus & post-audit agency accountable to congress and reporting to it on gov- ernment expenditures. The president would be given six administrative assistants. The name of the Interior Department would be changed to Department of Conserva- tion and a National Resources Plan- ning Board would be set up to study “development and utilization” of the nation’s natural and human resources. Price Is Patronage ‘The house has passed bills with provision permitting the president to find that any office of the head of @ bureau, agency, division or service is “policy determining in character,” whereafter he could name new ap- pointees. They would require senate confirmation: - The net effect” would be to make hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs now held by experienced career men an item of senatorial patronage. Chief fight in the house, and prob- ably in the senate, is expected to cen- But that the change will some day be made seems certain. ‘And the efforts of American women in its behalf will constitute an important stimulus toward that end. Beaten by the People Washington commentators say the train-length-limit bill is dead and will not come up again this session. Which proyes that bad legislation can be killed if the right kind of fight is made against it. Railroads and others interested carried this f matter directly to the people in every way they could and the t public turned thumbs down on a bill intended to put more j railroad men to work, raise the cost of transporting freight. Meantime, shippers are co-operating with railroads to im- prove their efficiency, quiet at least a little their squalls for i higher freight rates. | In 1986 the average freight car carried 36.8 tons. The ' best previous mark was 35.7 tons in 1980. Freight trains are moving faster, too. This means a further reduction in operat- i ing costs. ee Maybe it isn’t such a bad idea to let the railroads sweat a little. Necessity still is the mother of invention—and more economical operation. Warning to Shoppers Every year the postoffice department conducts a “shop early—mail early” campaign. Its idea is to spread its work over a longer period of time, avoid the jams which too often develop just before the holiday. 4 + Merchants have joined the drive with the argument that B the early shopper gets a better selection. This, too, is sound. 4 But do not be surprised if a third and more cogent reason is announced by merchants in the near future. Already some manufacturers of novelty goods, particularly toys, have noti- fied the trade that they are oversold. Shipments of such items will be made on an allotment basis. This condition is general enough to cause merchants some fomers’ demands and it is important enough to warrant the a in beginning at once their chore of Christmas shop- Some bontenting in the over double Sn movie features are now calling each other two-faced. | _ foncern as to whether they will be able to fill all of their cus- i tell the talkative barber they have whiskers, they diese modern co-ordinator big miisebe fo ir colle ieee So cas cleaner. isnt Hen | will "visit | The position of any secretary of the treasury who publicly proclaimed views and advocated steps not in ac- cord with the desires of the president would become immediately untenable.
