Bakersfield, Calif.. Jan. 20 R,- The cats of Kern countys rowland area are having experiences which rarely or never come into the feline existence. They are retreating in fear and confusion before the tum- bling herds of mice which have in- tested an area of 96 square miles around Taft, Maricopa, Fellows and Ford City.
 Merced has thrown a small army of cats from it's city pound into the area to reinforce the local felines. The invading hordes were reported diminishing today, but not from the efforts of the cats. Poisoned grain sprinkled in newly-plowed furrows acres the path of the rodent migra- tion is killing them by the tens Of thousands.

 Poison barrages of grain are maintained constantly by Whitmore. His home is in the direct line of the migration and one of the big jobs has been to bury the rodents, killed by the tens of thousands with the poisoned grain.
 Each morning the first job is to clear the house and out buildings of dead mice, and then the yard and surroundings, and the task is tre- mendous, he said. He declared the mice become "playful' after eating one or two poisoned grains and then as each gain following is taken they stagger as if intoxicated. After eat ing the sixth kernel they die.

CHAPLIN HAS MILLION
 DOLLARS IN COLD CASH
Therefore His Wife Looks Forward Anxiously to Her "Pay Day.
 For Her First $4,000.

Los Angeles, Jan. 20 H-Lita Grey Chaplin looked forward to a pay day today as her attorneys pre- pared to go into court to collect from Charlie Chaplin temporary ali mony awarded in divorce suit against the wealthy comedian, who, it was disclosed, has almost 1,o0,- 900 in cold cash.
 Receivers of the Chaplin fortune appointed at the wife's instance yes- terday reported an examination of bank books found in the studio safes showed cash balances for Chaplin and his corporations total ing almost s1,000,000 scattered through banks in Hollywood. Los Angeles, New York, England, and France.
 Of this amount s74,547 is in the actors personal accounts. approxi- mately $17,000 of which is in Cali fornia banks and in the jurisdiction of thecourts This is sufficient to cover the present sums due Mrs. Chaplin. Her attorneys, however, desire that payment of future ali money instalments be assured and it is upon this issue that corporation funds may be attacked.
 Tn addition to s913,372 in bank deposits of Chaplin and his corpor- ations, the receivers reported assets of s533,065. all readily convertible and exclusive real estate. The Char lie Chaplin Film Company showed bank balance of s540,2T2; the Re- gent Film Company, Inc. s292, ,665, and the Chaplin Studios, Inc, s5,- 5S7.
 New York, Jan. 20 (UP)--In the library of his attorney, Nathan Burkan, Charles Chaplin today inl- mersed himself in philosophical works in an effort to maintain that composure of mind which made t possible for him to recover from a mental collapse in less than a week. It was Charles Chaplin's first day out of bed since last Friday night, although twice previously he had been up for an hour and an hour and half at time. He was taking small quantities of hard food and gradually recovering his strength, which he will need for his return trip across the continent to face his legal battles.
 Burkan thought that an interview with the press might be arranged for later in the day.
 The attorney was amazed at re- ports from Los Angeles that Judge Guerin had taken him to task for remarks which he said he had never made. Burkan said he had not criticized the courts action in fixing alimony. What I said was that I.ita Grey Chaplin doesn't want ali mony; she wants a million dollars, v he commented.
