Southeast Group Hits
D. {. Funds Cut Action

The Randle Highlands Citizens
Association last night condemned
as grossly unfair" House action,
cutting the Federal contribution
to the District budget by 10 per
cent.
The proposed reduction would
pare the Federal ALLEGATION from
$12 million to s10.s00, 900. It has
been predicted the Senate will
reinstate the original figure.
In demanding that the action
be rescinded. the Randle High
lands group noted that the $l2
million figure was made perma-
nent law in 1947 by a Republican
Congress. Members also observed
that more property in the District
has been removed from the public
tax rolls since that time.
The group also:
Went on record against rein

Hoyt sent reporters to cover the
Bikini atom bomb test, the
guerrilla wars in Greece and the
Communist putsch in Prague.
Post men observed postwar con-
ditions in Europe. the Palestine
situation, Britain's Socialist pro-
gram and the war in China.
At home the Post helped elect
Denver a new Mayor, got bond
issues across for civic improve
ments. screamed for new high
ways and campaigned for starv-
ing Indians on the Navajo res
ervation. One editor flew to-
Oklahoma to liberate a cow from
a silo and another to Oklahoma
City to hunt a leopard that es-
capped from q ZOO.
When Mr.. Hoyt arrived there
still were a number of employees
who had worked for Bonfils and
Tammen. the most astonish-
ing team IN the history OF
journalism.
Tammen, o short. plump
Dutchman. got the idea of buy
ing the Post. Bonfils. a virile.

money. $12.500. They built it
into one of the most valuable
newspapers in the United States.
Neither knew q thing about
putting out a newspaper. But
Bonflls knew how to make
money and Tammen knew how
to give the public a show. Bon
fils hated criticism but Tam
men loved it. When The Post

had taken expense money from
Packer they refused to pay his
fee. Anderson stormed into the
''red ROOM" shot Bonfils twice
and Tammen once. One bullet
entered Bonf1l's shoulder, anoth-
er grazed his heart. He almost
died from his wounds.
When things seemed a little
dull. Bon or Tam would press
button and a siren on the roof
would shrek. Keeps people
thinking about the Post" they
explained. Sometimes bomb
flares were set off.
Houdini Helped
Houdini, a friend of Bonfils,
was hanged by his heels from
the balcony, and while swinging
in midair freed himself from a
straitjacket. Human flies
swarmed over the building.
Passersby were startled to see
a cage Of roaring lions in front
OF the door. But that didn't
shock them as much as the oc-
casional spectacle of Bonfils
standing on the balcony, hurting
new pennies to children in the
street and screaming: The Post
brings you luck"
Sex and crime got top play in
the Post. When Denver preach
ers complained the paper was
too sensational. Bon and Tam
sent their staff home and told
the preachers to move in and go
to 1t. They did. and the result
ing screams of complaint forced
them to retreat in disorder.
In 1909, Bon and Tam bought
the Kansas City Post and began
to startle local citizens used to
the restrained style of the Star.
In 1922. the partners sold the
Kansas City paper-for a mil
lion dollars profit.
Tammen died July 10, 1924,
and Bonfils February 2. 1898.
They had built the Post from
an eight-page operation with a
daily business of $35 and 5000

The Post took after a pri-
vately owned water company,
charging that its mains were
filled with sewage and its rates
extortionate. The city bought
out the company and built a
municipal water system.
Once Bonfils and Tammen
decided coal prices were too
high. leased some mines near
Denver and began selling coal
themselves at $3.50 q ton under
the market.
There was no situation, no
matter how trivial, in which the
journalistic upstairs didn't take
sides.
Blood Was Shed

it the bucket of blood" Beth
Bonfils and Tammen shed blood

One Of the Posts most sensa-
tional campaigns was the one
that freed Alfred Packer. the
''man-eater." from the State
Penitentiary. Packer had been
