Baby Crying At

By PATRICIA CI.AKY
HOLLYWOOD (II p.)-Like ev

yells come high. A studio eslimateu
that every time a baoy cries on
cue it costs $750
An unscheduled howl rums a
scene and wastes time- so precious
Il runs into hundreds of dollars a

NKW ORI.KANS tU. P. i Flying
game wardens are making life
tough for illegal fishermen and
hunters in Louisiana's swamps and
bayous, once a poachers' paradise.
v...- veiii-s. uoachers hunted ana
Ashed at will in the watery wilder
ness, taking wh ile boatloads oi
.-lii'lmn nvsters and game to
sell. As soon as they heard the
mnr nf a came warden's boat, they
slipped into the next bayou until
was gone.
But flying wardens, armed with .
heaw-caliber rilles, have stopped
most poaching in the marshlands.
according to Mel Washburn, inrec-
of education lor the Louisiana
department ol wildlife and fish
cries.
The department bought four
light planes, all amphibious, in
lliulit wnv. Nal Pedro, the
senior flying warden, had to shoot
il out with a poacher, Washburn
said.
Battle It Out
Pedro caught a shrimp poacher
near the (iulf of Mexico. He eased
his plane down near the boat ann
signaled it to head for open water.
But when Pedro was about mast
high, a man on the trawler opened
up on him with a shotgun. Pedro
hurried out of range of the shot
Kiin and opened up on the trawler
with his rllle.
The poacher came out on deck
and made frantic motions that he
was surrendering. As soon as he
reached open water, Pedro landed
liis plane and slapped on the handcuffs.
Washburn said they nii.de an
example ol the poacher. He said
that if Pedro hadn't shot back,
there would still be a gun halite
every time a flying warden tries
to take a poacher.
The planes are equipped with
two-way radio. If the water is deep
eriough, the wardens land and ar
rest the p o a e h e r on the spot.
Otherwise, they direct wardens in
boats to the poacher, who is shad
owed by plane mil il be is arrested.
Rift Industry Involved
Pedro and he- assistant, John
F. Kllinglon. Ily any time ol day
or nighl they suspeel that punchers
may he ..penning. Their pi incipal
job is enforcing laws thai protect
the mill.on-.lolla. a-year shrimp
and oyster industry.
Shrimp season closes June 21
and until Aug II. when il opens
again, almost any trawler away
from its home base is an object
Of suspicion. If sin imp are seined
now, millions oi y is ones
caut'hl Since thev caul be old
by poachers, they simply would be
destroyed
Washburn said I hat as part ot
the state's oyster . .-plaining lo
gram, 80,000 barrels, of y o u " 8
oysters have been replanted on
depleted reefs. The reels have been
closed for two years now and a
poacher could make a fortune li
he could dieili!.' Hit m
nut ii Is not lileh that any
poacher will, Wauhbuin said, be
cause the flyim; wiiiilen, inspect
the reefs from the air almo-l every
day.

although losing all three tilts, the
games have been close and hard
