The big old bird was fetched | there and turned loose by Rep. Homer D. Angell of Oregon, who is | author of a bill which would protect | eagles in Alaska as they are pro-| tected in the 48 states. The bill is currently buried some- where in the committee on Merch- ant Marine and Fisheries. Rep. Angell claims it has been pigeon- holed—an expression that hardly seems apt under the circumstances. The Oregon Congressman did a| little verbal soaring himself that| afternoon. “The slaughter of the| bald eagle in Alaska still continues,” | he announced, “while the commit- | tees sleep and permit this legisia- | tion for the protection of this na- tional symbol to be pigeon-holed. Where does the opposition to this | worthy legislation come from? You ay draw your own conclusions.” In Order To Assist his colleagues\ in drawing their own conclusions, Rep. Angell inserted in the Congres- | sional Record a lengthy article | from a little-known magazine, the! Atlantic Naturalist. This article, entitled “The BBId Eagle With a Price on Its Head,” by one Irston R. Barnes. The nuthur recites a good many facts about | eagles in Alaska and in other parts of the United States. He also in- | cludes a great deal of material that | may be factual but which he does | not support. Finally, he offers | whole lot of wordage that is pur opinion. | All in all, Author not make out much of a case either | bol. Barnes starts | the bald eagle out by setting up of greatness prom- ised and of greatness fufilled.” | Then, with considerable thorough- Iness, he knocks the eagle off that ilofty perch by proving that the |eagle, far from being charactered bird of prey, hmt a common scavenger. \ In any event, either as a predator jon the weak and helpless or as a scavenger, nbol of American ideals as the | forth. Moreover, and entirely aside {rom habits as a scavenger, the sym- ed the mighty bird driven to frenz- jed distraction by a flock of teas- ing crows or a handful of saucy | Steller jays. “Alaskan Opposition to protection for the eagle has been exaggerated . | questioned witnes | the eagle. All ‘ullitemcy and for protection of eagles in Alaska | or for the eagle as a national sym- 1 the eagle seems a poor tbolism of vhe eagle is held in low | regard by anyone who has watch- and accorded far too much weight,” | Barnes annouces categorically. Elsewhere in his article, however, | he cites the vote of the 1949 Alaska Legislature on the bill placing a $2 | bounty on eagles. The vote was 23 | to 1 in the House and 12 to 3 in| the Senate, which seems fairly | overwhelming. There was not, as I recall, very much public expression of opinion on either side of the eagle bounty | bill while it was before the Legislae | ture. A group of teen-agers did put | on a lively demonstration in the galleries at that time, but it turn- ed out that they were protesting a minimum wage bill that they felt discriminated against baby-sitters. | That Some Alaskans did oppose previous hills to extend protection of eagles to the Territory is ack- nowledged by Author Barnes, but he dismisses the opposition as illit- erate or self-interested, in the fol- lowing contemptuous words: “Delegate Bartlett, of Alas] ap- | peared in opposition to the bills, | , and introduced four letters opposing protection for revealed biolozical self-interest. H. Speer, who obviously | confused the bald eagle with the golden eagle, asserted in a letter to [the Ketchikan Daily News that the | bald eagle of Alaska is a ‘distinctive 'kind and different breed’ from the mnonal emblem. “Otis SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1951 —_— “Emery F. Tobin identified him- | self as editor of the Alaska Sports- man. But the pooh-bah in the op | position was Harry T. Cowan, own- | er of Cowan’s Spo:ts and Clothing | Center, president of the Alaska | Sports and Wildlife Club, and sec- retary-treasurer of the trappers unit. The final opponent identified was C. R. Snow, of Ketchikan. “Cbviously, these opinions *and judgments are entitled to little weight. It would be clearly unfair to the majority of Alaskans to judge them in terms of their self- appointed wildlife experts.” With Equal Truth, I suppose, it | could be said that it is unfair for | Alaskan’s to judge the majority of | | Easterners by the writings of Mr. | Barnes. 1 | As for the bald eagle, many Al-| | askans look down upon him as a | mighty inferior fellow. In mtelhgencp‘ | and native wit he is far below the raven. He has no more humor, than a jack-snipe, and his vocabulary is | inferior to that of the jay, the| :nurthern loon and the screech owl. | And as an article of food he ranks ! below the geese and ducks, the, |grouse and ptarmigan, and perhaps agreeable habits, is clearly super- jor. A white-headed eagle sitting on the snag of a dead tree near the shore is one of the finest and most irresistible rifle targets yet invented. And the big bird will no doubt con- In New York, several investiga- tions are starting into the wreck of the two New Haven and Hartford Raflroad trains Thursday. Twenty- seven passengers were injured when the two trains were switched onto even below the seagull. { In all Alaska’s long history and; | bulky folklore, in fact, I can recall |only one intsance of a man actually 1 eating an eagle, and he was a poor | unfortunate who had been maroon- ed on a tiny island without a mor- sel of food for a week. Even then,| when he was finally rescued, he| claimed he should have let his ap- petite whet itself up for another week before he tried geiting his teeth into the bird. Whether Rep. Angell’s ]nozecuon’ bill is enacted or not will probably not make a whole lot of difference along the Alaska coast. The talk of saving the taxpayers the cost of the eagle bounties is, of course,} nonsense. If the money is not spent | for bounties it will be spent for; something else. | But there is one place where the eagle, \uth all his faults und dis- Barnes does : “the symbol of | a strong- | s nothing | three | American people generally set them | WITHOUT ADJUSTMENT | !
