Copitors Rats Reported Routed

time ago the rats infested the Capt.

rooms in such numbers that a
catch" of so or more in one night
was considered average.
The rats that moved into the
Capitol months ago are not of the
ordinary variety. Reputedly they
are Norwegian species, big, willy
and tough.
Mr.. Cook declared war after they
had become so bold as to chew up
the revolving door through which
the President passes when he ad-
dresses Congress.
The Capitol cats gave up when
Willoughby, who never was too
bright, blundered into an ambush
one night and was annihilated so
thoroughly that he lost all nine lives.
In desperation Mr.. Cook rounded
up 200 rat traps, laid in a supply
Of scientifically prepared bait and
appointed one of his laborers, Jim
Young, chief of the anti-rat squad.
Mr.. Young, who carries a special
iron club for self protection, is scien-
tific. Instead of setting just one
trap outside rat hole, he sets four
or five in a circle, and the rats ap-
parently bounce off one into an
other. Very effective, said Mr.
Young, whose high score for one

Moreno Resignation
Ends Argentine Revolt
Patron Costu Believed
Assured Of Presidency

BY the Associated Press.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, April
IA revolt within Argentina S
dominant Conservative party ended
yesterday when Rodolfo Moreno re-
signed as Governor of the province
of Buenos Aires, removing an OBJ
stacle to the presidential aspira-
tions of Robustiano Patron Costa,
supported by President Ramon
Castillo.
Informed quarters here said
Moreno's withdrawal from the in
tra-party conflict meant that
Patron Costa, Senate president, vir-
tually is assured of success in the
September election. Influence of
the government, under Castillo,
himself Conservative, is expected
to play an important part.
Vice. Gov. Edgardo Miguez re-
turned from Buenos Aires, where
he was believed to have conferred
with Castillo, and took Office imme-
diately as Acting Governor.
Censorship in Argentina pre-
vented the press there from cover
ing yesterdays climax of the Moreno
revolt, although they had covered
freely the feud which has developed
between the President and Moreno,
his erstWhile friend, since Castillo
indicated two months ago that
Patron Costa was his choice as a
successor.
