Death of 'Brownie Marks Lesson for Park Visitors The unprecedented traffic which used the highways in Crater Lake national park on July 4 as well aa the large groups of people proved entirely too bewildering and confusing for "Brownie," one of this year'a bear cub triplets, and he met an untimely and sad death under the wheels of a car. Quite nslde from tho sadness naturally oc casioned by "Brownie's un fortunate demlae, there la a poignant lesson for all lovers of wildlife aa auch and for wild life managera concerning man's relationship with wild creatures. An unnatural, or In any event, an undesirable, relationship ex Isted between "Brownie," his brothers and mother and man which gradually set the scene for hla last and unfortunate cur tain call. The old mother bear emerged from hibernation this spring trailed by three lively and most attractive cubs not much larger than an ordinary house cat, two black and the third brown with black circles framing hla eager and searching eyes. There can be no doubt that "Brownie" had plenty "bear appeal," and his popularity grew by leaps and bounds. Thus It was quite natural that people In passing would stop to see and to take pictures of this most photogenic wildlife family, And, unfortunately, It was qulta S25 REWARD Will be paid by the manufaa lurer for any Cam or Callous GREAT CHRISTOPHER Corn air cannot remove- It never fallt. 9le and I0e at Evarbody'a Cut-Rate Drugs.

THOMAS JT.JOHN ST.CkOtxQ In I9IT natural that these self same people would, on occasion, tons food to the hear family in order to get a little closer picture of them. All of which waa all right, particularly the food ele ment, insofor as "Brownie" and hla brothers were concerned and the old mother offered no strenuous objections. So It was that tho family frequented the most traveled highway In the park, and a modern highway under even ordinary traffic con ditions is the last place to bring up a cub bear to maturity, Just as it is the last place to bring up a boy or girl. Thus all of the people who stopped to ad mire "Brownie," to take hla pic turn and, most Incriminating, to toss food to him, all innocent ly enough, contributed to hla un fortunate contact with a man made machine. For the safety of the visitors and In the best Interests of the wildlife itself, the National Park Service for the past several seasons has had a regulation which prohibit the feeding, teasing, or molesting in any way of .bears and all other forms of wildlife. The public Is urged to give support to this policy which has proven jound and wise ao that a reoccurrence of n Brownie's permanent disap pearance from the park scene mlKht be avoided and ao that Man and Women!

July 10 (At Administration farm officials declared Wedneaday they were unperturbed by reporta of an agrarian revolt against an AAA penalty of 40 cents a bushel on "over-quota" wheat because "an overwhelming majority of the producers are happy over the crop program." Just back from a tour of the mldwestern wheat belt, scene of meetings protesting against the penalty and soifrce of many complaining letters reaching congressmen, R. M. Evans, AAA administrator, said the agricul ture department waa prepared to "stand pat" on the wheat pro gram. Some congressmen, on the other hand, were pressing for a change In tha law which would put the penalty back to the rate originally established. The house agriculture committee planned to dlscuta the matter at a meeting today. Evan asserted that an "hon est examination of the facta" would disclose that wheat farm ers even most of those subject to the penalty were better oft than last year and "a whole sight better off than the wheat farmers of other surplus-producing countries." The penalty is imposed under a marketing quota system de signed to keep the surplus pro duction of this year'a crop off the market until present exces sive suppliet are reduced. Wheat produced on an acreage In ex cess of that allotted a farmer under the AAA program if sub ject to the penalty unless stored for tale or use after the quotas are lifted, or is turned over to the government for relief ute. Because of the soldiers and sailors civil relief act ot 1840, tutu to quiet title on city prop erty are oemg held up, pending one year following the close of the national emergency and when the men are released from service, it wat learned here this week. Police Judge Leigh Ackerman stated Wednesday the city, in an endeavor to, elear up titles on foreclosed properties, is offering S3 for quitclaim deeds from owners, borne 20 letters have been sent out so far, and out of this number five deeds have been returnod to the city, and the city now has complete own ership. These letters were issued where property Is owned by per sons and the title is not compli cated by mortgages and other legal barriers. In the event of mortgaged property on which the city hat foreclosed and the period Of re demption la expired, the Individ' ual may want a consideration for the release and hit case will be brought to tha attention of the police Judge's office and In turn will ba presented to the city council.

Flying Fortresses Reach British Receiving Station By EDWARD W. BEATTIE JR. United Press Correipondant AN AIR STATION SOME WHERE IN ENGLAND, July 10 (UP) Twenty flying fortresses, Britain's entire first order from the United States, have arrived in England. Most of them already have punned through here for testlAg, repainting and a few modifica tions. So have an even larger number of Liberators, some Martin Marylands, Douglas DB7's, and Vought Sikorski scout bombers. Practically all of them could be put In the air tomorrow, and will take their places on the aer ial front line soon. This I the cradle of Britain's future air attacks. Probably more than any other station in England it will be responsible for the striking power of raids which the royal air force prom lees will exceed anything the German air force yet has turned loose over England. This la a receiving station for American bombers. It is not operational. The Stirlings, Hall faxes and Manche.iters and all the older types which already have boosted the pace of the RAK offensive by 100 per cent or more fly off each night from Other alrdromea in other parta of the country. So will the American Fortres ses and the Liberators when the first are thrown into the attack. But they will all be products, one way or, another, of this sta tion. This is the place, too. where the Pratt and Whitney, the Wrinht, and the Allison motors which the United States ia send ing to England are inspected, as I I ? f.v V . YX ;. I I I I 6J ,.:- rt N-H. P.

Planea stored inside hangars or scat tered over the field probably have more bomb-carrying poten tial than anyone ever taw in one spot until the Germans put the textbook theorlea of mass bomb ing into practice. There has been a lot of criti cism of American planes by a lot of Englishmen in London, in cluding a lot of people who have been experting the air war with the aid of daily communiques. The men up hero who live with the planes never try to conceal their shortcomings. But they are the first to say "we never knew very much about combat conditions either until we got In to the war." They like these planes, like to think of the day when United States construction really hits Its high.
