Bushnaster
IsDangerous
Jungle Peril
By THOMAS r. HENRY
Contributing Writer

FORT SHERMAN, Canal
zone.-Even the fiercest of
jungle animals are as afraid
Of men as men are Of them.
This is o significant lesson
taught all soldiers in jungle
warfare training here. Most will
fight only when cornered. If
they see a man coming they
will try to crawl quietly away
before he spots them.
There Is, however, one no.
table exception, it has been
found. This is the deadly BUSH
master snake. It's venom Is not
among the most deadly Of
snake poisonS, but it injects
an enormous amount with one
bite. About q third of this
amount is fatal to o man. II
bitten, the soldier is taught,
you've had 1t unless there is
medical attention Immediately
available.
Snake Il Curious
Like the other jungle crea-
lures, the buShmaster will not
fight unless cornered. But the
reptile. 6 to 8 feet long, seems
to be obSeSsed by an Unsuitable
curiosiy. When 1t sees O strange
object, like q man approaching,
Its instinct Is to remain where
1t is until 1t can identify the
object.
Consequently there always is
the danger Of stepping on it.
Then 1t viii bite pronto.
Soldiers in jungle training
must watch every step. No
American soldier, however, has
been bitten by . bushmaSter
yet. Other jungle snakes, the
more venomous fer-de-lance
and the rattleSnakeS, will get
out Of q mans way, If possible,
and there Is relatively little
danger from them. Even the
bushmaster may be learning its
lesson as more and more SOL
diers come into its habitat. The
other day two Of these grotes-
que creatures wepe observed,
apparently at play. The cap
tain who made the observation
was surprised to see them slide
away as soon as he approached.
Good Food Source
Otherwise the Jungle snakes
seem to be an asset, rather than
@ danger. Squads have lived q
week or more on boa meat,
which looks and tastes like
chicken. Students are fed on
snake meat to familarize them
with 1t. Any snake, 1t has been
demonstrated, il fairly good
eating. Venom never penetrates
the chicken-like flesh.
Other animal sources of food
in the jungle are monkeys and
coatimundis. The long shouted
coatimundi looks like Q cat.
Its flesh tastes like pork. It
is a favorite with troops in
training.
Monkey meat, the troops
have found. by and large is
tough and has O wild TASTE"
1t must be cut up in very fine
pieces before it Is edible-except,
OF course, in an extreme elaer.

gency. Besides. there is a sug-
gestion Of cannibalism about
it which revolts the troops.
By and large, it has been
found here, any animal that
digestS its food is edible. There
Evening star., 1961-02-23

are some that swallow their
food whole and it does not 60
through the normal digestive
processes. The meat is tainted
and is likely to make q soldier
violently i'll.

The conference, which

The conference. which

Senhower regime. has been

on Capitol Hill.
Congressional Democrats
had been equally lukewarm

congressional leaders as the
spokesman for a party which
does not control the White

Senator Heating told re-

and has much more sup

proposed it.
Some Of the men he sug-

The New York Senator

Mrs. Bolton explained to

finds the Peace Corps terrify-

at it too fast.
Training Needed

cidentally mixed parts Of
two letters. and invited
Senator Gordon Allott of
Colorado to be head table
guest with Mrs. Miller"
The latter apparently was
a reference to the wife of
another honor guest. the
new Senator from Iowa,
Jack Miller.
! Back came a letter to
Mrs. Williams from Sena-
J tor Allott, as follows:
Il do not know how SEN
ator Miller would feel if I
were to attempt to bring
: his wife to the dinner as
you request!

her and Of course would be
honored to bring her -
