COLORADO MONDAY, MAY WIBKLY U.S. Fires Mid-Pacific Atomic Blast Sunday Dunbar Rules Game Officers Can Bear Arms 3 in This Car Hospitalized DENVER If) Atty. Gen Duke W.

Duntiar ruled Monday that under Colorado law state Game and Fish Dept. wardens may carry fire arms. Dunbar gave the opinion to Gov. McNichols. The department sought two weeks ago to buy approximately $12,000 worth of guns and other equipment for its game wardens, but McNichols refused to approve the purchase.

The governor said he did not feel game wardens were authorized to carry firearms and turned the matter over to Dunbar for an opinion. Dunbar's opinion was based on an Aug. 29, 1907, ruling from the attorney general's office. That ruling said that "in the performance 'of the duties, the commissioners and wardens shall have the right and powers throughout the state of sheriffs in their respective counties." 'Under present Dunbar said Monday, "it is not mandatory for game wardens to carry firearms, but they are considered in the same category as peace officers and are permitted to car- firearms and concealed weapons if it is necessary." Dunbar said whether or not the state's game wardens will actually carry firearms is a matter for Game and Fish Dept. officials to decide.
