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

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

Mil REVOLT TALK
WASHINGTON. 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

Here are very big and com

planea everywhere enough of
an air force to make any small
power green with envy. 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. Two different persons
made a point of the spirit which
i produced an agreement for
Ford, Douglas and Boeing to co
operate in order to speed the
output.
