...Merchants' Association told the press. The press told the story. Last week the Merchants' Association received a letter from one Frederick Paul, farmer, of Stemmers, Md. Wrote he: "We saw a piece in the Baltimore News saying the Turkish Government is asking your association to help them get rid of wild hogs infesting the country. So my father and I have proposed to undertake such a task. Get in touch with us. . . . P.S. We are individual, just father and son. We also will clean up the hogs in six weeks.

Redington, who spends his time traveling through the wild gamelands of the U. S. and Alaska. Last week at the 16th annual American Game Conference in Manhattan, Chief Redington told some 200 game commissioners and sportsmen about an experiment the Bureau had made to determine how far migratory wild birds fly each season. First, 100,000 birds were captured and numerically leg-banded. During the subsequent seasons...
Chief Redington's administration has been widely assailed by U. S. sport journals for opposing the reduction of the bag limit. In October, Outdoor Life said: "We place the blame for the situation squarely where it belongs-on Paul G. Redington . . . who in failing to recommend a reduction has . . . laid himself open to the serious charge that he is under the influence of a clique of influential duck hogs who do their shooting in states where ducks concentrate, and . . . want the highest possible bag limit. . . .* We condemned the survey's widely publicized duck census because . . .
