GIBRALTAR, Jan. 28.-The ar
rogant apes of Gibraltar, most
pampered wild animals on earth,
are on the loose again trying to
push the British around.
Hundreds of American sailors
of the latest United States Medi-
terranean replacement fleet are
climbing daily 900 feet to Monkey
Heaven, halfway up the sheer
grey side of the rock of Gibraltar
Their dream is to capture one
of the famous rock apes" that
have been bossing the Gibraltar
administration for 20 years, or
at least to see one.
It's simple enough to do the
latter. The bearded brown apes
perch on precipices. sneering at
visitors. hunting f1eas on each
other, and occasionally tossing a
contemptuous banana peel on the
laboring town of humans far be-
low.
For the bluejackets to capture
the apes is impossible, however.

dom. The adults are mostly fe-
males, but the new little black
babies are almost all males.
A law has been passed that no.
body can feed the apes below the
"unclimbable fence" a barbed
wire necklace halfway up the big
rock. The idea is that if the apes
can be forced to climb up twice
daily to eat. they will be too tired
to descend to rob.
Yet the animals continue 30
raid. One resentful Officer In
charge rock apes accused them
of biting his children, eating his
fruit, digging up his potatoes,
sleeping in his bed and running
off with his trousers.
When they plunder too much,
there is sometimes a public CAM
paign to poison them. The Sec
retary of State for War had to
intervene to save them, last time.
Like other gangsters, the rock apes
have friends in high quarters,
