him for playing with a 2-foot
copperhead.
He obtained his specimens by
purchases from the natives in
many instances, but often did his
own hunting. He captured his
first python-a 28-foot reptile
by dropping Texas lasso over its
head and using tree for snub.
While he sometimes had to kill
animals in self defense, killing
was not his purpose. Whatever the
danger involved he always sought
to bring 'em back alive" a much
more difficult feat.
Had Own Exhibits.
Besides selling specimens to
ZOOS and circuses, Mr.. Buck had
his own exhibits at the Chicago
and New York fairs and for sew
eral years operated an exhibit on
Long Island.
Under contract for a movie
company to make a series of
short subjects in the jungles, he
returned with such vivid pictures
that the film, Bring En- Back
Alive" resulted. 1t crossed al
most $2.0O0.0oO.
He made two other successful
wild animal pictures-"Wild Carr
go" and Fang and Claw" With
those he made personal appear
ances all over the United States.
All the jungle pictures were
authentic. The animals were
snapped in their native habitats.
And, Mr.. Buck said, making
animal pictures that way was not
easy.
They Were Bad Actors.
'The animals themselves are
your actors-bad actors, most of
them. dangerous, and as tempera-
mental as any Hollywood star"
he explained. "They make their
bwn plot and story as they go
along, and they are likely to
change any scenario you had
hoped for, suddenly and without
warning" '''1N Va
Besides his autobiography, Mr..
Buck has several. other books. to
his credit. Zone Of. these, "Of,
Jungle Trails" also written with
Ferrin Fraser, was widely used in
schools as a story-textbook.
On one of his many ocean voy-
ages Mr.. Buck was accidentally
locked for six hours in a ships re-
frigerator room. To keep from
freezing, he worked constantly at
moving crates of vegetables back
and forth and UP and down.
That experience caused him to
have claustrophobia. For years
Mr.. Buck did not fly because he
could not "bear the thought of a
planes small cabin. with a locked
door," He preferred walking up
many flights of steps to riding in
elevators. He didn't lock bath
room doors behind him and
avoided SubWayS.

Increasing Vacancies
In Top Jobs Make !.
Truman Headache
By Joseph A. Fox
Sfor SfoH Correspondent

KEY WEST, Fla, Mar. 25-
President Truman is gradually
accommodating a lot Of vacancies
in top executive jobs and he is not
having much luck in doing any
thing about it, despite salary
! raises handed out a few months
ago in an effort to attract high
class personnel.
Latest departure in prospect is
that of Tracy S. Voorhees,, Un-
dersecretary of the Army, whose
resignation to be effective some
time before June 80 was an
nounced yesterday.
Army Secretary Gordon Gray
also is getting out to accept the
presidency of University of North
Carolina; there have been reports
that Deputy Defense Secretary
Stephen T. Early is preparing to
return to private life in the next
month or so, and Air Secretary
Stuart Symington may easily be
shifted to the Craftsmanship of
the National Security Resources
Board, which would give the
President four key jobs in Defense
to fill.
Lilienthal Spot Waiting.
Lewis L. Strauss is getting out
of the Atomic Energy Commission
April IS, and there still is chair
man to be designated there to
succeed David E. Lilienthal, and
that also is causing headaches
for Mr.. Truman.
What he is going to do about
these and some other spots that
must. be cared for is a question
that unquestionably is giving the
President thought on his vaca-
ton here, but there are no in
dications that any help is in
prospect in the near future.
Mr.. Truman in the past has
blamed two principal factors for
the difficulty in getting top-hight
aides-money and the fact that
many business and professional
men are unwilling to take the
raw-hiding from Congress that
so often is their lot. An effort
was made to deal with the
financial problem, but no solution
has yet been found for the con-
gressional angle.
Often the President has met a
job problem by simply shifting
some official already in the Gov
ernment, but in the long run that
solves nothing.
President Kept Busy.
Despite the fact that the Presi-
dent said when he came down
here that he didn't intend to do
any work, he has been rather
busily occupied with tasks of one
sort or another. Often they
amounted to nothing more than
routine, but they still required do
ing.
Yesterday he was at his desk in
the Little White House" around
6 o'clock and put in a couple OF
hours.
He also keeps in touch with the

PUSAN is SAVED

us. 9th ARMY HEADQUART-
ERS IN KOREZ, Aug 10-tR-Lt.
Gen. Walton H. Walker, 9th Army
Commander, said tonight "a history
making maneuver" saved Pusan,
Allied supply port on the east coast.
1T was miracle" he said. IF
the Reds had taken Pusan we would
have been destroyed. 1t would have
been the finish"
The Reds had advanced within 35
miles of Pusan at a point east of
Chinju in deep South Korea. There,
an American offensive turned the
tide.
After day in which the us.
drive toward Chinju rolled as much
as Is miles in pushing the Reds
back, Walker said he felt free to-
night to tell how dangerous was the
gamble.
1t looked today as though the
gamble had paid off.
1t was making PuSan, American
supply port, secure.
If the North Koreans had reached
Pusan, main objective of their
southern drive, the American de-
tense box would have collapsed.
THE war would have been over"
staff officer said.
The gamble was in thinning the
American defense line along 40 air.
line miles of the winding Naktong
river on the west and spreading five
South Korean Divisions across the
northern front.
The defense lines had to be
stretched to concentrate power for
the attack that drove the North
Koreans retreating toward Chinju.

some Government information

oysters at Center Market City
because strict Government Su-

Once you get these delicious
