115,287.
From the time predator- control work
was started July l., 1915, through June
80, 1943, the catch has been: Coyotes,
1,461,575; bobcats, 2,029; wolves, 25, ,e37:
mountain lions, 5,722, stock killing bear,
1921.
Grand total predators killed, 1852, ,784.
Proof is submitted by the hunter or
trapper for each predator reported
killed. If the fur is salable, the pelt Is
turned in. Otherwise the scalp is sub
mitted as evidence that the kill Is bona
flde.
West Is Worried
Despite the 30-year battle against
them, it is estimated coyotes today may
total 100000. A pair of coyotes will
average litter of six puppies year. No
wonder the West is worried.
Roughly $2,650,00O was spent during
the last fiscal year in predator and rod
ent control work. OF that amount, the
Federal Government appropriated $780,
600 and the remainder came from
States, counties, local agencies and live
stock organizations.
FUNDS are provided through legisIa-

were moved in 1942. Mr.. Green, As
year-old graduate of Oregon State Col
lege, entered the Wildlife Service in
1920 after serving in the last war. He
climbed through various posts to preda-
tor-control chief five years ago.
We Don't Have Enough
Assisting in direction of the work are
IL district agents throughout the coun-
try. Districts are subdivided, depending
on size, with an assistant district agent
in charge of each subdivision. The big
State of Texas, for example, needs nine
assistant district agents to keep the
work moving forward Through this su-
pervisory staff, campaigns are mapped,
hunters shifted from place to place and
new tricks to wage the battle are con-
tinually being developed.
Right now. the Wildlife Service is
concentrating on sections where damage
is heaviest Trappers and hunters are

other predators. AS food needs mount,
can soaring livestock losses be checked?

closely guarded secret. So are details
of their operation, but there are many
of them and they operate in way that
must make Jerry pilots wonder how so
many can get to given point so fast.
Air-Borne Rockets.
Rockets are being used on German
twin-engined fighters against formations
of American heavy bombers. That also
has been revealed time and again But
the British are not behind in this de-
velopment in air warfare. Their use of
air-borne rockets also is something new
to warfare.
The rocket gun, fundamentally, is a
simple thing, fitted with aiming appara-
tus like the usual gun. But instead of
expensive powder, the charge which i'm
pels the projectile toward the target is
set off by simple little electric battery
similar to the batteries used in fash7
lights or torches, as they are called here
"It is possible for rockets to maintain
their initial velocity right up to the time
they reach their target" said British
antiaircraft command expert.
Therein lies much of the secret of the
rocket projectile and its hitting power.
The usual anti-aircraft shell loses veloc-
ity at an increasing rate The target
may be miles up, and the shell loses
considerable velocity at that height,
straight up But the rocket projectile,
by reason of its impelling apparatus,
maintains velocity, which is translated
into hitting power when it reaches the
mark. Its initial velocity may be less
than that of the usual projectile, but
the speed is maintained.
Rocket Batteries.
Projectors in rocket battery some
times are fired all at once, producing a
salvo effect, to cover tremendous area
in the sky. You see, when Jerry comes
over, great areas Of sky pin-pointed with
bright flashes of light. Those are shells,
whether from rocket guns or not, you
do not know. bursting in and around
German airplanes. Undoubtedly some of
them are rocket shells. s...a ze5
The secret of successful antiaircraft
gunnery," said an expert, 'lies in getting
the projectile up to the target in the
shortest possible time" The rocket pro-
jectile materially cuts the time as COM
pared with the usual antiaircraft shell,
and keeps It's hitting power when it gets
there.
You will hear more of rockets and it
isn't impossible they will be the weapons
OF the future. 1t is not going too far to
say they may supersede the conventional
powder-driven projectiles of today in all
types of weapons.

For long weeks the work of dropping
propaganda leaflets has been highly Sc
cret. The owl men have done good
job. So have the crews of aircraft who
dropped them. It is out in the open
now, and the full story can be told
Nazi prisoners brought to New York,
for instance, had been told New York
was partially destroyed by bombs and
Washington had been heavily bombed.
They were amazed when they saw not
single bomb-mark on Gotham. If
the people of occupied Europe learn the
truth, and the further truth of Allied
successes ON war fronts, something may
happen.
The propaganda war from the air can
do a big job Of convincing Europeans
of the truth.
Rocket Guns Now Widely Used
Though not designed to fire propa-
ganda leaflets over enemy territory it
is now no secret that the rocket gun, of
any caliber, is playing considerable
part in the weapons arsenal of this war,
It's future is problematical, but SO
bright is the promise of the rocket
throwing weapon and its projectile it
is not beyond possibility the type of
weapon made famous in America by
a comic strip may become the dominant
weapon of warfare.
Lately rocket guns have been revealed
as In extensive use in the defenses of
London. The uses to which they are put,
specifically, cannot be mentioned now,
but they are incorporated in the defense
system against airplanes in such way
Evening star., 1944-05-28

The effects are incalculable, but to
understand the true situation 1t must be
realized that Germany and the occupied
countries are so firmly in the grip of the
Gestapo an uprising is difficult. But
the truth helps, no matter how 1t gets
there.
Minimum penalty for reading the
leaflets, according to Himmler decree, is
20 years imprisonment. Long before that
time, if all goes well, the Germans and
others who have read the newspaper
will have been released from Jail.
Widely Distributed
Sternenbanner goes out printed in
German, French, Dutch and Flemish, to
insure the widest possible distribution
among the peoples of all Western Europe.
The truth happens to be the best weapon
of the Allies. Behind the story of propa-
ganda leaflets, of course, also is the story
of American bomber crews who fly them
across enemy territory to deliver the
papers.
These papers are published by the
American Office of War Information, and
are official, in every sense. There isn't
much doubt they have been sowing dis
content and dissatisfaction in occupied
Europe, but their effect hardly can be
exactly calculated. Stockholm has seen
them, too. This neutral capital has had
them for several weeks, from leaflets
dropped from American airplanes over
Berlin.
1t is estimated the leaflets, printed on
strong, light paper, will last about three
weeks OF passing from hand to hand.

Beasts of prey are taking mammoth
bite out of the Nations meat supply.
More and more calves and sheep are
falling victims to the mounting menace
of predatory animals. Turkey and
chicken losses are soaring. The war on
the Japs and Germans has diverted am
munition, traps and men. AS a result,
coyotes, red wolves, bobcats, mountain
lions and ock-killing bear have multi
piled and their annual toll has leaped
by tens of thousands of pounds.
Demands for more cartridges, shells
and steel traps have been bombarding
the War Production Board. Ranchers,
farmers, sheepherders have been COM
planning loudly. Many a worried voice
mas been raised at meetings of livestock
associations throughout the IL Western
Plains States and Texas. The Govern
ment is being told insistently there's an
invasion in its own backyard-and that
livestock's rapacious enemies hold the
initiative
Greatest peril to livestock and fowl in
the West is from the wolf like coyote.
The coyote is a 30-pound dynamo of
cunning. He kills for the fun of it as
well as for food. Lean, swift and rapa-
cious, he is remorseless enemy of the
lamb and the eve, the turkey in large
flocks on the plains and the defenseless
calf.
Startling Losses.
10 h. T,t
Wildlife Service show some startling in
dividual losses. Dan Canavaugh, Twin
Falls, Idaho, complained this spring that
26 lambs were killed by coyotes in a
single night. In Randolph County, Mo,
lone female coyote killed $4,000 worth
of livestock Near Carlsbad N Mex, a
sheep raiser recently was forced out of
business after losing 500 lambs to
coyotes.
In Okfusgee County, Okla, 50 turkeys
and 25 chickens were killed by a single
coyote On a Wyoming ranch 36 sheep
of a flock Of so were destroyed by
coyotes within week. Toll on farm In
Casa Grande Valley, Ariz., in a single
night: 1872 chickens!
Other predators have chalked up some
heavy kills. At Georgetown, La, 1872
pigs and 46 calves were slaughtered by
wolves. In Owen County, Ind, a single
wolf killed 224 lambs On an Arkansas
ranch wolves slew 49 head of fine Here
ford calves. In Custer, County, Idaho,
bear left Is sheep to die in recent
night An Idaho rancher lost $50 head
of sheep to coyotes, bear and bobcats.

Service predator battle control division,

on Used Cars

Washington, July 10-(AP)-
Used passenger automobiles come

The Office OF Price Administra-

day the largest industry that had
not been subject TO ceiling prices.
Requiring both the seller and the
buyer to sign certificate OF

individual buyer from being over
charged and to guard dealers from
unfair competition.
The buyer files the certificate
