per, has gone to the hills to conduct his continuous onslaught on

Hunt to File
Suit for Libel
Washington. Aug. 8 flJ.R)
James V. Hunt, central figure in
a congressional investigation of
"five per centers, said today
he is filing suit against the New
York Herald Tribune because
"irresponsible half truths" in its
articles about him are ruining
his business.
A senate investigations sub
committee began looking into
Hunt's dealings after the New
York newspaper first reported
on his activities.
Hunt said in a statement that
the subcommittee has had "two
attorneys and 16 investigators
going over my affairs for more
than six weeks. They have not
even suggested that anything
has been found which would
warrant any charge against me."
"Five per centers" are those
agents who help businessmen to
get government contracts, usual

he had ordered the matches tor
his own use to impress prospec
tive clients.
"That is a lie," he said. "Their
Washington staff knows it is a
lie."
Hunt said the first order of the
matches was delivered to. the
presidential campaign train in
June, 1948, and in November the
office of Ma. Gen. Harry H.
Vaughan, President Truman's
controversial military aide, re
quested more. They were or
dered and delivered to the
White House, Hunt said.

bear, three bobcats and six
coyotes, all near the headwaters
of Little Boulder, Big Boulder
and Rogers creeks.
When farmers are being har
rassed with the depredations of
the foxes and other animals in
the lowlands, Morrison is ready,
willing and able to come and
help put an end to their troubles.
With no recent outbreaks of
trouble he has moved higher up
to catch the animals in their
breeding grounds.
Morison found plenty of evi
dence that the coyotes were
playing havoc with young deer.
He found the carcasses of five
fawns which were obviously
victims of coyotes. He reported,
however, that no signs of even
more destructive cougars were
found in the area.
The trapper operates on a
salary and receives no bounty
for the animals killed. County
funds are supposed to be match
ed by the state. Some federal
assistance is given and under
certain conditions, the state
game commission "chips in" to
help with the salary.
Farmers have praised Morison'
for his work, especially with
foxes. In the Buell. Perrydale,
Bethel and Smilhfield areas he
has done an exceptionally good
Job of clearing them out.
"There are still plenty more
in the country," he states.
During the year July 1, 1048,
to July 1, 1949, Morison has kill
ed 213 predatory animals.
At one time during the year
1942-43 he could get as high
as $18.50 for a choice red fox
pelt. This source of revenue is
now gone since the same fur
brings only about 75c, he states.
Morison is available to help
any farmer rid his place of pre
datory animals and may be
reached through the office of
Jack Hayes, county judge.
