MAIL The Arizona Republic 35 Rod and Gun I Phoenix, Jan. 22, 1964 0 Protests Planned To Anti-Gun Bill By BEN AVERY Republic Outdoors Director Jaguar Taken In Lion Trap FORT APACHE-Russell Culbreath, trapper for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and James Sparks, manager of the White Mountain Recreation Enterprise, were surprised last week to find a big male jaguar in one of Culbreath's lion traps. The big animal is believed to be the mate of a female jaguar oy ARIZONA WILL MAKE a strong pitch against the proposed anti-gun bill now being considered rhv thp II SnnatP Committee. Statements in opposition to the bill are being prepared by Governor Fannin and Senate President Clarence L.

Carpenter to be presented to the committee by Sen. Carl Ilayden, who is appearing in opposition to the bill himself. All three are suggesting changes that would eliminate interference in the states' regulation of firearms use, restraints of trade, infringement of constitutional rights of citizens, and the provision that would require furnishing of chief law enforcement agencies a registration of called up by varmint callers i Hitter Wins Trapshoot south of Big Lake and killed last summer.

I am appearing on behalf of the State Rifle and Pistol Association to refute the claim that the bill is endorsed by the National Rifle Association, which Senator Dodd has made on a TV show, and also present arguments against the bill's provisions. But the most important Arizona appearances will be those of a number of citizens who have asked for time, and are traveling all the way to Washington, some by car, at their own expense. I do not know how many are going. However, I have heard of some. Fouf are making the trip from Bagdad, and three of them are driving.

W. G. (Bill) Gibson, assistant pit boss, and his son, Thurman, are driving, and they will be accompanied by Burr Marley, garage boss at the Bagdad mine. 1 think that committee should listen to these men, particularly Thurman Gibson, who is using money he has been saving to complete his college education for his pari of the trip. "Living in a free country is more important to me than a college education," Thurman declared.

"It has to come first, because in a free country I can get my education." Also going from Bagdad is Dr. W. E. Gorder, who will fly.
