      Mr. Aldo Leopold 
      Forest Service 
      Albuquerque, N. M. 
 
 
      Dear Aldo: 
 
           I have just returned from a two weeks trip to Indiana and will

      endeavor to give you a resume of the new setup down there as far as

      I could gather it. 
           Things are still in the process of reorganization especially as
to 
      the warden force. Practically all of the old department members have

      been removed both in the office and in the field. Kunkel, the new 
      Director of Game and Fish, is a very fine fellow, sincere and anxious
to 
      do a good job. He admits that he knows nothing about the subject and
is 
      convinced that the only thing to do is for you to make a survey and
lay 
      out a program as was done in Iowa. Unfortunately Kunkel does not have

      a free hand to do as he pleases. He has no say as to wno may be hired

      as game wardens or other staff positions. These orders apparently are

      all coming from up stairs. !his situation I feel will be more or less

      straightened out in time when they get thru distributing patronages.

      Kunkel I feel can be depended on to play ball 100l . 
           Simmons, Chief of the Department of Public Works which includes

      the Conservation Department, seems interested in the idea and I believe-

      will play ball alright. He is a politician from the word gp but xunkel

      is very close to him and this should help. 
 
           Vandenbark, Kunkel's assistant in charge of hatcheries and refuges,

      is a strong politician but at the sane time anxious to do a good job.

           Naturally with a complete change as hasbeen made in the Department

      many of the sportsmen's organizations have not yet fallen in line.

      However, this situation I feel will right itself as soon as they see

      that the new outfit mean business. Several who started out antagonistic

      have already fallen in line. 
           There is too, I understand, considerable undercurrent of dissatis-

      faction within the McNutt organization which may eventually cause a
split. 
      Miuch of this propaganda, however, comes from the opposing party so
can 
      be discounted. here is some smoke tho and considerable indication that
