Under the direction and leadership of District RangerH. I.* Snider at Truckee, a party consisting of Fire Control Assistant Nelson S. Stone and Dispatcher William F. Curran was: formed. ? The small party of searchers picked up the trail of the observer 4 short -distance from his home and continued to follow him up the steep terrain that bordered his home. With arduous climbing with skis and snowshoes, the observer was found. But as was his habit, he had taken to the air. and was sitting on a limb of a huge pine tree. The three séarchers after considerable cotsultatioa, decided a snowball in the right spdét Would bring him to the ground, where a blanket and rope coul¢ be used to return him home. He wae chased from tree to tree and worked down the hill to within a short distance of his cage, but finally Ht in the top of a very tall tree where his wings weakened by long confinement he decided to stay. A few ‘well aimed shots of snow connected, but ‘he made no attempt to return to the ed sitting on limbs in high trees and there he sat as the search ended at nightfall. 1 The smart old golden eagle that has been the storm prophet for the past five years at the Gateway Motel believes more in freedom ‘than a good ‘“thorse-meat” dinner. He never failed to scream about 12 hours before precipitation fell on his cage. Further attempts to recapture will be’ made.

Uniess this trend is halted and in fact reversed, he declared, a fundamental principle of the Constitution which provides that the governing interests of the étates shall be observed by the national government will be destroyed. “More and more we find the long arm of (Washington bureaucracy reaching into our state and local affairs. It is an insidious process which can lead only to ultimate destruction of local initiative and. re-} sponsibility, to, the sacrifice of individual freedom and sélf-reliance. “For at least the next generation the all pervading issue of American politics will be the degree of federal influence and control exercised over local governmental andi individual activities. It becomes increasingly apparent that if we continue the practice of turning to a .vast governmental machine in Washington for solution of our problems local responsibility and gelf-direction will be destroyed. “Federal agencies and bureaus have multiplied to a dangerous degree and they have encroached into practically every field of activity within the states. If this process coutinues, it is inevitable that the federal system of governmegt will disappear and that state and local government will have mo real function to perform: “There is scarcely a problem pres‘ented to local government . today ~ ‘ich is not directly or indirectly volved with implications and ‘cues related to federal regulations. {ft is squarely up to us to decide whether or not. all initiative and 'reedom of choice is to be centra}ized in Washington or whether we are to continue to rely upon local vovernment agencies as’ the active and dynamic forces in our system of “onstitutional democracy. “If we are to preserve our federal system of government we must insist upon restoring and preserving the fundamental principle of home rule. We must conscieitionsly analyze the proper scope and functions of our state and local governments. We must decide for ourselves what services they should render to the . people. We must define the sphere
‘authorize them to occupy that sphere and hold) them responsi le for 80 doing. “In plain speech this. means that we must quit passing the buck. It . meats that in our own states, in our own countiés, in our own cities, and in our Own school districts, we must meet the problems that preseat ‘themselves and work out our own jaolutions. If we are going to restore local government, we miist step runto Washington for hélp.
