VINEYARD HAVEN, April 8— 

 The federation of New England 

 bird clubs has withdrawn its private 

 warden from Martha's Vineyard, 

 where for the past two years he has 

 been aiding the state in its fight to 

 save the heath hen. 



This action, together with the an- 

 nouncement by Dr. Alfred O. Gross of 

 Bowdoin College, that he could only 

 account for 13 birds in his annual cen- 

 sus last week, brings the belief that 

 the federation has abandoned Its pro- 

 tection of the unique bird.
