as an investigator for the Fed
eral district attorney. The police
chief, it was learned. reported he
did not want to push the investi-

of the Justice Department.
Full Cooperation Ordered.
When the matter was referred
to Attorney General Clark, it was
learned. word came back. to Maj.
Barrett to push the investigation
with full vigor. Instructions were
sent to the District Attorneys
Office to extend full cooperation,
it was said.
Names of socially prominent
Washingtonians and member of
Congress repeatedly were un-
covered by the Police Department
investigators as they pushed their
investigation.

very limited staff, in carrying
out the work of the Division of

."The work done by 1t. Shimon

to this Office was separate and
distinct from work done by spe-

Czechs Press Drive
To Stir YugosIavs'
Revolt Against Tito
By the Assoeiafsd Press

PRAGUE. Aug. 18. - Czecho-
slovakia's Communists today were
waging a big-scale propaganda
campaign urging the Yugoslav
people to revolt and destroy
Tito's criminal regime"
The campaign also had the ap-
parent kindred aim of stirring up
the Czech people against the for
mer Cominform ally.
The drive was featured by the
passing of resolutions among
workers in Czechoslovak factories
and by proclamations issued by
Yugoslav emigree groups resident
In this country.
1t was supported by the entire
Prague press, which made Tito its
No. l propaganda target.
Workers Resolution Passed.
The resolution of workers in the
Svoboda printing house, which
prints Rude Pravo, organ of the
Czech Communist Party, said:
"Yugoslav brothers and COM
rades, bravely ahead to destroy
Tito's and minister of Interior
Alexander) Rankovic's criminal
regime. Bravely ahead for the
victory of socialism in Yugosla-
via"
One of the factories in which
q similar anti-Tito resolution was
adopted was the Czech-Moravian
Kolben Danek plant, which for
merly was called the Tito en-
terprises" in the Yugoslav leaders
honor but was renamed after the
Cominform expelled him.
The resolution of Yugoslav
emigrees here thanked the Czech
Communist Party and trade un-
ions for their support and added:
1--WE pledge our utmost efforts
to lberate our nation as soon as
possible from the hangmen Tito
and Rankovic."

Insect Poisoning in Chickens

Chickens generally are able to
consume insects without much
danger of ill-effects. In fact, there
is only one species that is definitely
known to be poisonous. This is the
rose chafer. found in the eastern
United States, in Canada, and as
far west as Colorado. 1t thrives
from the latter part of May to early
July and seems to be palatable to
chickens. Week-old chicks die after
eating is or 20 of these insects, ac-
cording to veterinarians, but birds
become more resistant to the
poisonous effects as they grow
older. The rose chafer harbors a
toxic substance that affects the
chickens heart. Convulsions and
drawing of the head and neck over
the back are typical symptoms.
Death of poisoned birds usually oc-
ours within "a hours, although
some recover.
