WASHINGTON SCENE
By George Dixon

EEITH HIMEBAUGH, direc-
IN tor of information of the
department of agriculture, is a
very helpful man.
He was of great assistance TO
this column IN confirming that
il is a scientific fact that mares
eat oats and does eat oats and
little lambsey divey.
He went TO great lengths even
getting me an exclusive inter-
view with the department OF ag-
riculture's head goat man.
CONSEQUENTLY, it was nat
~ ural that I should turn 10
Mr.. limbaugh on being told
that Secretary Stimson' squir-
rels are refusing to eat un-
roasted peanuts
This disturbing situation was
brought TO my attention by M.
McArdle, Washington attorney,
who lives across the street from
the Stinson home.
Mr.. McArdle began by in
forming me that his lS-year-
old daughter, Adrienne, had
come to him with a distressing
story; namely. that "Blackie, y
most venerable of the Stimson
squirrels, vas having dental
trouble.
Mr.. McArdle suggested sim
pie solution: TO pulverize the
nuts with a hammer before
feeding them 10 the rodent. AS
a result. "Blackie' gets this un-
usual service every day.
SDUT there is one point on
- which ] should like some
authoritative information" said
Mr.. McArdle. None of the
Stimson squirrels will eat un-
roasted peanuts.
What I would like to know
Is: IL this the case with all
squirrels or IL II Just because
Secretary stimson's squirrels
have pampered palates?
MR.. McARDLE said he did
A'l not think IL had any con-
nection. / told him l would try
TO find out.
put the question to Mr..
Himebaugh.
Would an independent or
noncabinet squirrel also eschew
unroasted peanuts?" I asked.
Mr.. Himebaugh said that the
fish and wild life division. which
takes squirrels, had- been
transferred recently from the
department of agriculture 10
the department of the interior.
/ told him that was unfortu-
nate because I was almost sure
that if l called up Secretary
Ickes 70 ask him about squirrel
diet he would suspect that l
was up 10 practically no good.
You don't have 10 call Sec
rotary Ickes," said Mr.. Hime-
baugh. Call John r. Gardner.

Frank Ashbrook, chief OF the
fur resources investigation.
81 know squirrels have fur"
said Mr.. Ashbrook, evidently a
keen sleuth, but / do not know
how they stand on the matter
of unroasted peanuts. The man
for you, In a serious situation
like this, Is DIR. Ira n. Gabriel
son. director OF the fish and
wild life division"
DR.. Gabrielson said he did not
wish TO cast any reflection upon
Secretary Stimson or his squir-
rels but added that, in his opin-
ion, the latter were too we'll fed.
Squirrels eat other types of
raw nuts" he said.
"If Secretary Stimson's SPUR
rels had to forage for their food
they wouldn't be so COMPOUNDED
finicky"

questions around the South
China Sea.
Mai Eliots belief is given
support by the recent announce
ment that Adm. Lord Mount
batten has transferre d his
headquarters TO the high, cool
city OF Handy, on the island OF
Ceylon.
Handy is the ancient capital
OF the former Singaiese king
dom.
It's salubrity and surround
ings make it an admirable
location for the laborious work
of a general staff. ,e.
But this is not the reason for
It's choice. which is that the
island of Ceylon, from the stand.

important strategic position.

And it protects British In

coasts of Persia, Irak and
Arabia.
It joins British naval power
stretching through the Mediter.
ranean to the Red Sea.
We hear almost nothing said
of Trincomalee, and there are
good reasons for this. But / am
convinced that its old inn
portance as a naval base has
been more than restored. .

overhangs Trincomalee, apA

In RECENT comments I have
Il discussed the question of
where the japanese battle fleet
is.
II refused 10 meet our own
naval strength at Palau and re-
tired II IL was there.
Wherever il is now, ii is at a
base adequate for its mainte-
nance and prompt emergence
for action.
My own guess is that the Jap
anese fleet has retired again to
the inland Sea Of Japan, where
il was built, where it can be
adequately "serviced."
The inland sea is the central
position for the japanese navy
because il has 10 cover, not only
the southeastern sector of their
defense, but also the Kurile
Islands to the north and the
Marianas and Wake Island.
There the enemy fleet is in a
position 10 meet American at
