SETH GORDON TO HEAD
REORGANIZED STATE
& GAME BODY
Recognition of the increasing
mportance of angling, hunting,
-and commercial fishing in Calif-
ornia welfare and economy has
rome with the promotion of the
SETHGORDON
Division of Fish and Game to de-
partmental status and creation of
a State wildlife adninistration
post with "cabinet rank."
The double-barrelled action be-
came effective September 22 under
terms of the Charles Brown Re-
organigation Act of 1951.
Seth Gordon, consultant to the
Wildlife Conservation Board since
1948, was named by Governor Earl
Warren as director of the new De-
partment of Fish and Game. His
appointmenwas urge! bY many
sportsmen and civic groups.
With an annual salary of $13,-
000. the Director 'ill be guided
by the policies set by thc Fish
and .Game Commission, and will
be responsible to the CommissUre
for administration of the Depart-
ment."
In the wording of the new law,
"the powers delegated to the Com-
mission by the Fish and Game
Code shall continue. Whenever a
power to make rules and regu-
lations is vested in the Commis-
sion, said power shall continue.
General policies for the Depart-
ment shall be formulated by the
Commission."
The Director will hold hiring
and firing power over all civil
service employees of the Depart-
ment. Heads of bureaus and
other Fish and Game personnel
will be responsible to the Direc-
tor.
"The Commission may employ a
secFetary," the law reads, "but
neither the Commission nor such
secretary shall have any powers
in relation to the administratn
of the Department."
As an automatic provision of the
reorganizational act, headquarters
and residence of the new Director
will be in Sacramento. T h e
law also divorces the Department
of Fish and Game from its for-
mer position as a division of the
Department of Natural Resources.

knocking over a 12-pointer with
his bow and arrow.
Lee Taylor brought in a fins

ntyre were among those to be

week of the huntin season behind
us, we had no thought of shooting

personal selections after other
hunters have cleared away the
readily accessible small animals."
