ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1941. FIVE Increasing Deer, Buffalo and Bear oPresent Problems By ALEXANDER GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer WASHINGTON Perhaps you've never seen a deer outside of a zoo, but there are 5,000,000 of them in the country one to every 26 people. In fact, the "too many deer" situation is causing worry by farmeis in some sectiuns right now. They fear a springtime blitz on their crops by animals that have bei on scant natural ra tions this winter. Buffalo, too, have the govern ment's Wild Life Service ponder ing. Keeping the herds reduced in numbers to avoid over-grazing the ranges within the big game preserves Is a constant concern. Naturalists say that any over abundance of deer, buffalo or other big game is sectional and circumstantial rather than gen eral. The rapid growth of deer herds, which are depleting their own browsing facilities and turn ing to crops for food presents a problem to game commissioners and farmers in Pennsylvania and Michigan. There were more iron deer in the front yards of solid Pennsyl vanians 30 years ago than there were wild deer in the state's for ests. Then whitetails were intro duced and the deer population soared to 825,000. That is believed to bo more than there were In the state before the while man came to America. Worry For Farmers Some farmers regard deer as the No. 1 predator. They deride the protection of them while there is a bounty on wildcats which they assert "never hurt anybody." The surplus buffalo problem of course It not critical. Bison in this country number only 4.800 as compared with 00,000,000 which formerly roamed the continent. Most buffaloes now are confined to game preserves in the. west and it is largely a question of keeping the herds small enough for the grazing areas. There recently was an "over supply" of them in some sections of New Mexico. Black bear are considered pub lic enemies in some farming lo calities where they have killed sheep and calves and pilfered gardens. There are 103,000 in the United States. The famed grizziy bear ursus horribilis to the scientists total 1,103, the major ity of them in national forests and parks. west ot the city, escaped the downpour which would probably have sent many overweighted poles and vines crashing to the ground. .

(AP) Looking back over eight years as secretary - of labor, Frances Perkins blames the split between the American Federation of La bor and the Congress of Indus trial Organizations for the failure of collective bargaining to settle more disputes without strikes. Wilting in the September issue of Fortune magazine, the nation's first woman cabinet officer de scribes the AFL-CIO schism as "largely an internal fight tor control," and declares that "a re union could be made tomorrow without ugly-scars of hatred and rancor between the wage earners in each group."-.. , "I have been called incompetent (and worse)- because I have not prevented strikes," Miss Perkins writes, "and I am aware that there is a theory Uiat if I were a two-fisted male I should be able to stop strikes. - - "The accusation that I am a woman is incontrovertible. As for being two-fisted, I'm sure that it is unrealistic and lacking In hu man knowledge to believe that getting tough or cracking down on working people would make tilings better. There have been two-fisted males in this office and strikes were never prevented, because no secretary of labor has ever had the authority or the power directly to stop strikes, and it is doubtful If any clear think ing citizen would be willing to give to any agency of government the absolute right and power to interfere with other citizens. "The only power I have," she doelares. "is to art as labor's spokesman in the government." "The AFL-CIO split was largely an Internal fight for control, in which the Idea of vertical unions was only a minor issue. At all times I have tried to bring the two factions together, always ap pointing representatives of both groups to committees and advi sory boards. "I have urged John Lewis (former head of the CIO) over and over again to make peace with the AFL and he has said over and over again that he ex- I pected to make peace 'when the I right time comes. ' "The president' wrote 'Mr. 'Lewis a letter asking him to - make peace. That Irked Mr. Lewis. It was after that that he called me "woozy In the head.' I received letters and telegrams from labor organizations (both AFL.. and CIO) asking me to keep trying to make peace."
