By Associated Press. Washington, D. -Unele Sam, in his official pamphlet, "Wid Animals of Glacier National Park," convicts the United. States' emblem, the bald eagle, of being a vulture that feasts on dead fish. In the same government publication the bushy-headed golden eagle is lauded 1 to the skies as a fair-fighting, brave bird, far more worthy of typifying the soul of the nation.

Two Guns. White Calf, noted Blackfoot chief, of the Glacier National reservation, says the Indians always have the golden eagle in higher esteem because of its surremacy in taking live animal prey for its food: As pure-bred Amenican, White Calf. whose own likeness appears upon the face of the Buffalo nickle, declares his pride of country suffers whenever he looks upon a silver coin of larger denomination and beholds there emblazoned the fac of a bald eagle. One the occasion of a recent visit to the Blackfoot agency, Congreasman Walsh of Montana was seriously impressed by the evidence the Indians presented for the dethronement of the bald eagle. If there are any champions of the bald eagle's cause they had better get their data together during the December session of congress, else the tousy-headed golden eagle may crowd him off his "pinnacle-perch" forevermore.

Civic Bodies Favor Golden Eagle. Montana civic bodies are said to be convinced that golden eagle is the more symbolic bird to represent the Tinited States. The bald eagle is 8 rarer bird, but Rocky Mountain guides say this is due to nature's law which results in the survival of the fittest. Judging from the fervor of the campaign. politics cannot save the present "emblematic occupant of the throne." The controversy will be threshed out on its merits.

In presenting the case to congress adherents of the golden eagle's cause are eager to lay bare the personal lives of both species. They say the contrast is so startling that nublic oninten will demand change in its feathered image."
