AFllI.D
By Ted kGs5a1R

There was time when the en-
tire future of America hinged on
whether there were to be buffalo
and no white people west of the
Mississippi, or whether there
were to be no buffalo and plenty
of whites.
So, if some misguided but kind
hearted humanitarian buttonholes
you and tells you that wiping
out the buffalo was a crime
against humanitarian instincts,
smile and say nothing. You know
that it was either the buffalo or
our necks.
AS long as the buffalo abound
ed, it was simply impossible to
vanquish the Indians from the
plains, They made monkeys of
the U. S. Army as long as they
had their food supply - plenty of
/ buffalo.
The story of these buffalo days
is one of the great sagas of Amer
lea, and yet, according to historic
al writer Charles Booth, it is
doubtful if any other subject so
close to home is so much under
| stood.
Most of us have mental pic
ture of a man riding along side a
shaggy beast firing his rifle
directly into the huge body. This
running method was merely a
show-off's way, and only amateur
exhibitionists with horseflesh to
spare used it.
The professional hunter used
much more prosaic system which
made up for its lack of drama by
being about 500 times more effec-
tive. 1t was known as hunting
from stand" and was develop
ell because some smart bird dis
covered an interesting quirk in
buffalo psychology.
First was that far from roaming
, the plains in herds numbering
millions, the buffalo normally was
an animal that ran in small
groups of 10 to 20 individuals in
charge not of a believing bull,
but of an old cow.
Second was that if you isolated
/ one of these groups and shot the
leader through the lungs, so as to
make her bleed, the others would
not take flight, but just hang
around until you could shoot
down every member of the gang.
It was as exciting as shooting a
dairy herd in somebody's barn
yard.
The buffalo's disposition didn't
help him preserve himself for pos
terity either He was about the
most stupid animal that crowded
into the ark. He had almost no
protective equipment. His eye
sight was poor, his hearing even
poorer, and he couldn't smell. He
wasn't pugnacious; his only in
stinct was to run. And he had
such low animal 10. that he
didn't even think of running when
| his mama was shot. So he was
doomed.

The Man Price Fixers Fear

Ever since President Truman nominated John Carson, research d.
rector of the Cooperative League of the USA, a a member of the
Federal Trade Commission. the National Association of Manufacturers
has been Tuning and freuing. SO have the steel manufacturers and
the cement manufacturer. So have some of their spokesman in the
United States Senate. And, SO has Fulton Lewis Uunior).
In an effort to block Carsons confirmation by the Senate, the NAM
has charged Carson with being a fiery New Dealer" Fulton Lewis
Uunior) has devoted several radio broadcasts in a attempt to tie
the Connie label on the Cooperative League.
This week, LAM. President Harvey W. Brown announced his whole
hearted endorsement of John Carson whom he described a " a con-
structive liberal and a friend of the plain people of this country"
MI. Brown told the MachiniN:
1.-THE President has picked for the Federal Trade Commission a man
who is interested in the prices that consumers have to pay. We in
the Machinists Union know John Carson as a n enemy of price fixing
and a stalwart fighter against monopoly. We know that he will cham
pin free competition, fair trade practices and honest advertising which
the Federal Trade Commission is supposed to assure IS.
I'VE know that those industries which realize o much in swollen
profits from Illegal price fixing agreements are opposing John Carsons
nomination with all the strength they can muster.
THE question before the Senate will be this: Shall the United States
Senate permit the President to appoint, as member of the Federal
Trade Commission, a man who honestly believes in free, competitive
pricing? If the Senate refuses to confirm John Carsons appointment
it will have said that friends of the consumer, of labor, of co-ops and
the farmers are ineligible for an agency of Government established for
their protection"
