Wild Rabbit Trade In
creaSes As Farmers
Realize Dividends

Jefferson City - The live
rabbit trapping industry is
booming on Missouri farms, &C
cording to figures recently re-
leased by the Missouri Coop
erative Wildlife Research Unit.
Last winter about 1O2, 200 live
rabbits were trapped in four
counties and sold through eight
buying stations. This represents
an increase of IA per cent over
the 1939-40 take.
Some $4,000 live rabbits sold
by 512 trappers in Cooper, Mon
1teau, Morgan and Petite coun-
ties sold for an average of Is
cents each, or a total of approx
imate!y $4,000.
1.-The Importance of the live
rabbit trade to the farmer is
clearly shown" said Kenneth c.
Rowe, University of Missouri
graduate student who conducted
the investigation. 1.-The cost of
materials is low, and the buying
season comes at a time when
the farmer is less busy than at
other times of the year"
Most of the trappers are I'M
der II years of age, Rowe said.
In addition to the live trapped
rabbits, most of which were sent
to nine eastern States for re-
stocking purposes, over $4,000
dead or drawn rabbits were sold
for meat. Drawn rabbits brought
an average of 10 cents each.
Interest in wild rabbits as a
source of income is increasing.
Rowe said some of the trappers
now prohibit hunting on lands
used for trapping so as to con-
serve the wild rabbit supply and
provide food and cover for the
game animals.
The cooperative unit is fl
nancially sponsored by the Uni
versity of Missouri, the State
Conservation Commission, the
American Wildlife Institute, and
the Fish and Wildlife Service.

IN BRIEF. MONTANA

Great Falls, July y (UP) -
Because of protests from labor
unions, the Great Falls park
board today had banned the use
of WPA skilled labor in con-
struction of Black Eagle park
here.
Three unions notified the
board they had voted not to
patronize the new American Lee
gion baseball diamond at the
park because it was built with
WPA labor, and would assess
fines against members who did
patroniZe it. The park board
then voted not to use skilled
WPA Workmen in the remainder
of the work at the park.

During the battle to halt the flames, Il flremen were hospitalized and more than o score were treated for burns, smoke inhalation and other injuries. Thirty firemen lar- rowly escaped perhaps fatal injuries when huge brick wall of, one of the buildings collapsed, showering 0 wide area with tons of stone and burnin gembers.
 GuArdamen Help Out
 Thousands of spectators damned into the area from surrounding communities and l60 state guards men aided 260 state troopers in holding the curious behind fire lines.
 Roger s. FlreStone, president Of the company and son of the late Harvey Ftrestone, said that from 10000 to S,200 employees had been made idle by the blaze. However, he said he expected the manufacture of the vital defense supplies could be resumed within c few days.
 Firestone said more than 9SO00,- 900 worth of machinery was lost as well as a building described aS one of the nations largest rubber store houses. This building had been filled with cargoes of crude rubber from ships and freight cars which have been unloading there more than Q year.
 l2 Watchmen On Duty
 Twelve watchmen were on duty in the darkened buildings that cluster quarter-mlle along the Taunton river when the flames were discover ed near huge curing ovens.
 An alarm was sounded and gates were locked to prevent escape of possible sahoteurs. Due to crossed signals, 1t was more than 10 minutes before firemen were able to reach the building. Flames already had burst through walls and roofs and were licking acros So narrow court yard.
 A series of explosions followed as fire reached the vats of highly-in- fiamahle rubber compounds and the flaming liquid was splashed far across c nearby highway
 Before hoses could be coupled, the flames spread to adjoining buildings.
 Visible 63 miles distant, flames leaped % feet and (acrid, black smoke billowed forth, forcing gasp. ing firemen from the scene.
 General Alarm
 A general alarm brought all avail- able apparatus to the scene, and Acting Fire Chief William L. Car berry broadcast an appeal for help from outside communities. Despite the huge corps of hre-fighters as- sembled, the flames continued to lick through the buildings that ranged from three to six stories in height.
 Flames spread to the Evans Tex tile Machinery Shop Plant, Q junk yard and the United Wholesale Sup- ply co. Building and threatened to reach e tenement house section which was saved by water curtains
 At dawn, with the fire threaten lng to reach tle Tidewater ON Go gasoline storage tanks the wind shifted from north to west and blaze finally was controlled.
 Among buildings saved were large chemical laboratory, and Sev- eral buildings used for manufacture of adhesive tape, latex and covered rubber thread and some stock and machinery used in making barrage balloons.
 One buildnig which was destroyed manufactured self-sealing fuel tanks for airplanes. Onother that was lost made airplane cushions and hospital mattresses.

 oH temporarily at least, despite
 1&klw enemy advances at some Ncints with the aid of parachute
 troops.
 Nirious fighting continued as toth sides threw fresh forces into the battles, with the Russians us- Inn cavalry as well as strong reserve units Of well-equipped regular army troops to bolster the most threat ened defense areas.
 (cerman dispatches said the GSa1is were less than 90 miles from &ho Russian capital and that ad- vance tank units might be much eluBeg. Moscow dispatches did not indicate where fresh Russian army reserves came from but there had been reports from the Far East that some Red army units were sent from Siberia to the Moscow area.)
 War front dispatches told of ex- tensive use of paratroops by Ger mans on front where the Nazi war machine had been stalled by fierce Russian resistance. Paratroops were dropped behind the lines in an ef- fort to disrupt communications and 60 the enemy's efforts to break create chaos in the rear as an aid through.
 Russian Parachutists
 Russian troops, originators Of the parachute units, wiped out the Ger man paratroops, with the aid of Woll-orEanized civilian units, the &ispAtches said, reporting that snow on much of the war front had greatly handicapped the Germans and forced them to try to speed up aheir drive before real winter wea- eaer sets in.
 The threat to Moscow, 1t was ad- xaatted, continued extremely grave @xsA boys and older men were drill ang In the streets and parks as a result of the German thrusts from the west, through the Vya2ba sector, and the southwest, past Orel and Hxynnsk, both of which have been evacuated by the Russians.
 Russian guerrilla troops were re. ported intensifying their activities behind these fronts and succeeding in killing many Germans as well MW dlsrupting communication lines,
 on the Leningrad front, the Red army was reported still counter-at- lacking at many points. One ad- vance on october 8 to 10 killed i,- 500 Germans and wounded many others. On Friday, 1t was added, Russian airplanes from Leningrad destroyed 100 enemy trucks and fuel wagons.
 But the main war front was be- fore Moscow, especially near Vy- aKEna.
 The afternoon war communique said fierce fighting continued all along the front and was especially savnge in the Vyazba direction. But ik added that Russian forces were not only continuing their stubborn resistance but were counter-attack- 1ng strongly at every opportunity.
 Surprise Attack
 n one small surprise counter attack. one of many, a Russian unit captured l2o German trucks and 60 motorcycles, 1t was reported.
 10 was indicated that this attack was made between the central and Ukrain4an fronts, and 1t was said that in another sector of the same area, q Russian unit killed 500 Ger mans in . flank attack.

Active air force cooperation with the ground forces was reported m all areas and 1t was said officially that one formation destroyed sev- eral German tanks and more than 100 trucks while others attacked German reserves and airdromes.
 Near Leningrad, Russian tank units destroyed i3 German anti tank guns, 14 heavy machine guns and four artillery observation posts and killed more than 400 German troops, it was said.
 Late-and more encouraging news from the central front came as Moscow's populace was warned that the Germans were threatening the city and men and boys started drilling.
 The high command in the days first communicate had admitted the loss of Bryansk, 220 miles southwest of Moscow, and said the Germans were pressing ahead despite resist~ ance and their great losses.
 "Snow and bitter cold caught the Germans unprepared," one dispatch said. "They are suffering intensely and therefore they are depriving the civilian population, who are doomed to freeze"
 "The Germans are beginning to groan under the harsh Russian cll- bate on the Orel front" at1othE dispatch said. Fields, streets, roof. tops and trees already are snow covered"
 Red Star suggested that the cold was one reason for the intenSiflca- ton of the German drive.
 There was an optimistic tone in all dispatches concerning the Lem ingrad front.
 A special dispatch to Red Star from Col. Sergei Borisov from the Leningrad front said that the Ger | mans had resumed @ general offen- | sive Sept. g but that 1t had failed | and that the threat to Leningrad apparently had been removed for | the present.

 Whether discovery of the radio station was the result of that search or of Q longer campaign was not known. But 1t was understood that during the favorable summer weather naval patrol forces around Greenland have been constantly on the look out for German outposts.
 The Navy Department said 1t had nothing to add to its announcement that the radio station has been disposed of" and that an American warship is bringing the prisoners, including an agent of the German GeStapo and Q group of Norwegian sympathizers, to Q United States port.
 The State Department declined comment as did the German eIn- bassy where c spokesman said: All we know is what we read in the newspapers" The German spokes- man doubted that diplomatic rep resentations would be made.
 C0ngressmen Approve
 Members of congres generally ape proved the navy's action. Opponents of the Presidents policies were di- vided some thinking 1t was another step toward war; others saying 1t was "the only thing to do."
 The action was announced by the Navy Department Saturday after noon some time after 1t had taken place. The station and accompany- ing ship were seized in September. The announcement was believed to have been held up until the vessel bringing the prisoners here had reached safe waters.
 The navy merely announced that @ naval vessel, while on it's regular patrol in Greenland waters, had found small Norwegian vessel of about 60 tons; that the inspection revealed that 1t and her company of about 20 men had bene dispatched to Greenland by Germany to set up a radio station for dispatch of weather reports and other mili- tary information, and that Q search of the Greenland coast uncovered a radio station illanerld by & member of the German Gestapo and two Nor wegians who had disembarked from the vessel.
 Ali Equipment Seized
 "All the radio equipment and sup plies established ashore by this German-sponsored expedition have been disposed of and the personnel evacuated from Greenland by the U 8. naval vessel" the navy said. "The (Norw N:ian) vessel and her personnel are now being brought to a United States port for examina- tion."
