NEW YORK, Jan. 23-(R-
The city's $500 surplus white
mice have become white ele-
plants.
The department of purchase
put the rodents on the auction
block today because the Health
Department said sulfa drugs
had made unnecessary pneu-
mOnia tests in which the mice
formerly were used.
Moreover, says the depart
ment of purchase, the mice
"have started to increase" and
every six weeks their food bill

are worth.

ARMIES TO MERGE
General Marshall Agrees
To Act As Adviser To
Military Committee

CHUNGKING, Jan. %. - Up -
Chlna's military committee was
reported to have taken the first
step today toward welding gov
ernment and Communist forces into
one national army shortly after
it was announced that General
Marshall had become the commit.
tees adviser.
A spokesman for the Democratic
League said the committee reach
ed an agreement whereby the
Communists would cut their army
to 20 divisions within three months
while the government would re-
duce it's forces to 80 divisions with
in six months.
He emphasized, however, that
the committee still was engaged
in other issues revolving about this
rocky problem. He did not say
whether General Marshall, fresh
from his success in arranging
China's truce, attended.
Gen. Chou En-lai, the Commu-
mist member of the committee, as
serted earlier this week that the
two government members - Gen.
Chang Chun and Gen. Chang Chin
chung-were insisting the CommY-
nists cut their representation in the
new national army to nine divi-
sions.
The only previous agreement on
this question was reported yester-
day by subcommittee of the poll
teal consultation (unity) confer.
ence considering the political as
poets of nationalizing the army.
1t agreed on plans to abolish the
one-party National Military Coun-
ell in favor of a Ministry of De-
tense representing all factions and
to divorce all members of the
armed forces from politics.
The conference appointed a COM
mittee of 10, consisting of two
members from each of the five
political groups attending, to work
on questions which the five SUBJ
committees had been unable to
solve.
One of the hardest problems is
the reorganization of the govern
ment. The Kuomintang CNationaD
party was reported holding out
for at least half the seats on the
new and powerful State Council,
with the Communists wanting to
limit them to one-third.

He denounced particularly re-

Old Landmark Will

One of Rockville's old landmarks,
Hicks Store, located in the two
story, red brick building on East
Montgomery Avenue known as the
Hicks building, will go out of
business on February LIST. Washing
ton Hicks founded the store in
1891, and his son, w. Guy Hicks
became associated with him in 1905.
The building which has been sold
as part of the Washington Hicks
estate, was purchased by John R.
Henderson of Chevy Chase. Wash
ington Hicks who died in June
1914 came to Rockville from
Charles County in 1890 and at first
ran store on the lot adjoining
the Hicks Building. During his
many years as a merchant he was
respected for his honesty and the
quality of his merchandise.
