SAY EAGLES DO
EAT YOUNG FOX

The question of whether or not
eagles destroy fur bearing animals
IN Alaska seemed to be yes" ac-
cording to an affidavit submitted
in the House yesterday by Rep.
William A. Egan who lost a fight
to get an appropriation for bounty
on eagles included in the general
appropriations bill.
The report, by Mr.. and Mrs. Ira
MCLEAN, fox ranch operators on
Prince William Sound, and by Roy
Gender an employee, read as fol-
lows:
Three trees known to hold eagle
nests were felled, and in the nests
we're found seven fox tails, and
many pieces of puppy fox skin and
fur, as we'll as one half-eaten fox
pup, this latter being still warm
when found"
Another incident was reported by
the McCleans:
out of two families of fox pups
only two were found alive, indi-
eating that the balance of the pups
were probably destroyed by eagles
On the ground, and around the
foot of the tree, known to hold ar
eagle nest, was found a consider
able amount of fox hair and bits
of skin, and the nest in this tree
contained much purified fox skin
and some hair"
A law on the books provides fol
bounty on eagles, but the Sen
ate knocked out the appropriation

STRAND

Without being a war picture, one of the great pictures of the war is "Spitfire", starring Leslie Howard and David Niven. Here is the story of the first and in many ways the greatest hero of World War T., who died heroic death even before the war started. His name is R. J. Mit- chell, and he is the genius who in- vented the Spitfire, Britains deadly fighter plane which shot the Nazi planes out of the sky at the climax of the Battle of Britain.
 But Mitchell, portrayed by Leslie Howard, was more than a geniuS-- he was warm, loveable human being. Howard projects this quality admir- ably, especially in his relations with his beautiful wife, played by red- haired, blue-eyed Rosamund John. Davis Niven, on leave from active service for his role, plays test pilot who will fly anything born on Nit chell's drawing board, no matter how fantastic, and who has eye cooked always for anything in skirts that happen1 to be in the locality.
 On the same program is another smash hit. The Deerslayer" fea- turing Jean Parker and Bruce Kel- logg.
