~ NCH the gorilla hunt was

fauna which usually lure the ad-
venturous overseas. the elephant,
the buffalo and the lion.
We were not at all blood-thirsty,
and We hadn't the slightest desire
for indiscriminate slaushtering.
but we did feel the lure Of big game
hunting. and I was convinced that
I was offering any Of the animals

| Several perplexing questions with

important Is whether the tariff body IS
authorized to change rates in the
