WASHINGTON, Oct 27—(>P)
—Office of Price Administra-

hope today that the announced
coffee ration of one pound
every five weeks for adults could
be liberalized in the near fu-
ture.
Gene Howe, member of the Tex-
as Game Commission, who is now
on a hunting trip in Canada, writes:
"There has been a movement, both
here and in the United States, to
stop shooting game during the war
But this was quickly frowned upon
by the government officials them-
selves in the conservation depart-
ment.
"In the United States the Wild
Life Service extended the open
season on wild ducks an extra two
weeks, this year in Texas, for ex-
ample, the hunters have two
months in the place of the six
weeks they had last fall. The rea-
son Is that the government wants
more ducks shot; every extra duck
killed means that much less beef or
pork or mutton Is needed for our
civilian population Besides, they
say, they particularly want the
young boys to swing the shotguns
A young man who knows how to
shoot a shotgun, allowing for leads
and the wind and the like, is cer-
tainly deadly as a gunner on an
airplane, they say. The crying need
of this war is still better shooting.”
