DEATH TO RATS

Secretary of the Interior Ickes may be death on Ed Pauley, but he is also death on rats. Most people don't realize it, but he is supposed to be chief rat killer to the Nation--or rather the Rodent Division cf his Wild Life Bureau is.
 It was Ickes men who developed the deadly new rat poison, 1080, which however, will not be distri- buted to the public. A Polish chemist discovered 1080 while work ing on poison gas. With the inva- sion of Poland, he escaped to Lon don and turned his invention over to the Allies, It is not patented.
 Ickes has farmed out l080 to the Monsanto Chemical works in St. Louis, the only company now mak- ing it. It will not be sold to the public for fear of killing cats and dogs. The poison is so strong that if a cat or dog gnaws at a rat killed by l080. it in turn dies.
 Farmers who have had their grain crops seriously depleted by rat inyasions are rather critical of Ickes' policy Of withholding l080. Grain losses from rats every year runs into several millions of dol- lars. And while Secretary of Agri- culture Anderson is urging cOnSer- vation of grain, rat poison which would save thousands of bushels of grain is being withheld from the public.

casion to lecture another Republi- can, freshman Senator Revercomb of West Virginia, at a recent clos ed-door session of the Senate Mill tary Affairs Committee. The lec- ture was on retaining fathers in the Army-not popular subject. Senator Revercomb had intro duced Bill demanding the dis charge of fathers. But when the Bill failed to receive action in the Military Affairs Committee, of which both Austin and ReVer- comb are members, the West Vir- ginian made a speech demanding that the Military Affairs Commit tee be discharged from it's consid- eration of the Bill, and that it be taken up by the whole Senate at once.
 Senator Austin didn't like these tactics.
 This is dignified Committee of the United States Senate" he said, and was astounded that a mem Der of this Committee should pro- pose that we be discharged from consideration of a Bill assigned to us Does this mean that if this Committee does not agree with all the demobilization recommenda- tions of its Sub- Committee, mem bers of the Subcommittee will move to discharge us in order to win Senate vote on their pro- posalS?"
 Since Revercomb was not present, the question went answered. Mean while, the War Department has in- formed the Military Affairs Com mittee that demobilization can be carried out except the discharge of fathers. Fathers, Secretary of War Patterson said, cannot all be dis charged from the Army by July | Note-This columnist has reason to believe that out of 100000 fa- thers in the Army, about 50G,0OO will be discharged by July l.
