PARIS (by InaiD D.-One Of the
most pronounced successes Of the
Communist Party in France has
been the extent to which the police

40 Per Cent of Partisan Police
Declared Loyal to Communists
BY Constantine Brown
S4er Foreign AHoirs Analyst

Much emphasis was placed, how
ever, on communication Of the Paris
police because the history Of revolu-

The army. on which the Third
Republic relied to put down subver-
sive movements, has been reduced to
q nominal force, and what remains
of it is heavily inflltrated with Reds.
Such cohesive forces as still exist
do not exceed 300, 900 men. They are
being used for most part as occupa-

been sent to Indo- China, Madagas-

Park Elk Herd
Is TOOLarQe

Glacier National Park-Belton,
Mont, Nov. 25-Supt J. w. En-
inert, Chief Ranger E. N. Flad-
mark, Assistant Chief Ranger A. ID.
Cannavina, and Park Service Biolo-
gist Victor H. Cahaiane of the
Branch of Natural History, Wash
inton, D. c., have recently COM
pleted an examination of the big
game winter range conditions in
Glacier National Park. Examlna-
ton of fenced-in sample plot ex-
closures and winter ranges indicated
that the range is being oVerused
by elk and white-tailed deer. Park
officials are quite concerned and
are endeaVoring to work out
solution for the reduction of the
1898 elk and 1868 white-tailed deer.
Park Service policies do not per-
NIT the opening of these natural
recreational areas to hunting and
the reduction of overpopulated game
animals must be taken care of in
some other manner.
The Park Service has received
the cooperation of the Forest Ser
vice and State Fish and Game Com
mission in obtaining an extended
elk season along the south bound
airy of the park from Moccasin
creek to Java. This area will be
open from October Is December
81, and it is expected that a num-
Der of elk drifting out of the park
will be reduced along this area.
Elk on the east side of the park
which drift out on to the Blackfeet
Indian Reservation are legitimate
game for the Blackfeet Indians who
are permitted to hunt all year
round Usually surplus game on
the east side are kept to more or
less normal numbers by the take
on the reservation.
The Belly River elk herd number
ing from 10000 head drift into
Canada during the winter. This
winter, 200'head of the elk will be
killed in the vicinity of Water
ton and the meat will be given to
the Canadian Indians.
The problem on the North Fork
of the Flathead is somewhat diff
in this area. With no open elk sea
son in the North Fork area, the elk
are becoming too numerous in the
park and are rapidly depicting the
range and driving the white tailed
deer out by depicting their food
supply One solution offered would
be to open the forest side of the
North Fork to the hunting of elk
the season to be a late season as
the elk do not leave the park until
heavy SHOWS drive them down. The
idea of sailing areas outside the
park so as to move the surplus
game outside where hunters can
have access to them has been con-
sidered and may be attempted The
thought of trying to drive out herds
of elk to hunters outside the park
has also been considered. What the
park wants to avoid is slaughtering
inside the park This is both ex-
pensive and unsatisfactory, espec-
tally in rugged country as found
IN the park
If anyone has a good feasible
solution for the reduction of some
of the surplus elk and deer, park
officials would be glad to receive
them
