In the next war- you will find that any town within reach of an aerodrome can. be' bombed within the first five minutes of war, to an extent INCONCEIVABLE IN THE LAST WAR and the question is: whose morale will be shattered quickest by that preliminary bomb-tog?" bomb-tog?"

Reorganization of the state fish and game administra tion to place the control under un-der a non-political, appointive commission of seven mem bers with all employes on a civil service basis, was urged before the Utah county Democratic central committee, Friday night, by a group of Provo sportsmen, headed by Mara An derson of Provo. The other members of the group were J. William Knight, Dr. Vasco M. Tanner and Charles Madsen, all of Provo. Named By Governor The set-up advocated is now op erating on a somewhat similar plan in 30 states, it was pointed out by the speakers for the change. Utah is one of four states to still adhere to the old plan of administering adminis-tering fish and game affairs. The commission, under the pro posed plan, would be appointed by the governor, with all parts of the state represented. The commissioners commis-sioners would not be paid. The ap pointment of the state fish and game commissioner and the other employes of the department, as well as the determining of the policies of the wild, life conserva tion,' would constitute, the chier duties of the commission. We- needtraine&men -ta-tbefc fish and game department,' said Mr. Anderson, who made the prin cipal argument in behalf of the plan. "I am not interested in kicking one politician out and put-tint? put-tint? another in his lace. Fish and game administration is a highly high-ly technical profession, requiring men who have had special training, train-ing, as in the forest service." The county executive committee which was asked to place the recommendations rec-ommendations of the group before the state committee and the incoming in-coming administration, was not prepared to take any action on the matter at Friday's meeting.

The second touchdown climaxed a 6-yard drive with Griffith fin ally going over his own right tackle from the one-yard line for the score. The try for the extra point missed fire.
