Mice? In the Pentagon?"
The General Services Admin
istration spokesman, startled by
visions of the elephantine Pen
tagon being bothered by any,
thing so minute as a mouse,
recovered quickly.
II don't know about the Pen
tagon," he said. "but there are
a couple running across my
floor right now. Cute little
things. Got a home in the wall
somewhere.
He referred the question to
George Ross, the Pied Piper of
Government buildings in Wash
ington.
I'VE catch one, maybe two
week at the Pentagon." Mr..
Ross said. But the problem
of rodents is a minor one now.
Used to catch 400, perhaps 500
rats and mice every week. But
now our average is down to ST."
But to accomplish this task
keeps some one busy all the
time in each of the 345 build
ings handled by GSA here.

But the mouse disappeared
without the help of Mr.. Ross
and his crew of exterminators.
Rat control in other sections
of the District has been a
headache for the Department
of Sanitation. The department
doesn't have enough men to
spread around among the rats,
but they try to handle special
complaints, spreading bait when
the rats get too numerous in
one spot, and then moving on
to another spot when the first
appears to be cleared up.
The United States Public
Health Service, recognizing the
Importance of controlling such
spreaders of disease as rats and
insects, holds classes for restau-
rant men and other food ham
dlerS twice a year to demon

BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Sept. THE number
of Communist Party members in
Japan has increased from about
1000 Immediately after World
War II to about 10000, according
to Attorney General Takeo
Ohashi.
Mr.. Ohashi told the House Of
Councillors yesterday that in addi-

bers. there are an estimated
250,000 Red Sympathizers and
$4,000 fellow travellers in Japan,
Since top Communist leaders
were purged by the government in
June, 1850, Mr.. Ohashi said. the
Reds have gone underground and
are operating on well-planned
basis.

Accord Hinfed Near
In British Rail Dispute
BY the Associotsd Press

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Renewed
wage talks to head off a paralyz-
ing strike on Britain's state-owned
railroads began today amid signs
an agreement is near.
J. B. Higgins, head of the big
gest of the three unions involved.
told reporters as he arrived for
a conference with union officials:
II am going to say nothing
about hopes. I am going to wait
until the agreement is signed"
The wage talks were resumed
after Labor Minister Aneurin
Bevan yesterday talked with both
sides in the dispute. He told the
House Of Commons he was not
in a position to report on the re-
suits, but his remarks were inter-
preted as an expression of hope
a general walkout would be
avoided.
There were reports the Railway
Executive, which operates the
nationalized lines. would make a
new offer which will go a long
way toward meeting the unions
demands for annual wage in
creases totaling f12 million ($33. 6
million).
The unions earlier had rejected
the executives offer of increases
totaling f9.250.o00 ($25.9 million)
annually. Until prodded by the
government the railway adminis-
tration was unwilling to go higher
because the railroads already are
in the red to the tune of ESQ mil
lion ($140 million).

U. n. Plan 10 Settle
Pakistan Dispute
Is Opposed by India
By ihe Assoeiatsd Press

NEW DELHI, India. Feb. 3D.
The Foreign Ministry said today
that India's government is not
''very happy or pleased" with the
new American-British plan be-
fore the United Nations for end
ing the three-year dispute be-
tween this country and Pakistan
over Kashmir.
A ministry spokesman would
not give details of India's objec-
tions to the new proposals. but
said instructions had been sent
to Indian Delegate Sir Bengal
Rau at Lake Success on the stand
to be taken when the Security
Council takes up discussion Of the
issue again March /.
The proposal, introduced last
Wednesday in the form of reso-
luton before the Security Coun-
Gil. called for India and Pakistan
to withdraw their troops from the
disputed northern state. followed
by U. N.-supervised popular vote
on the future of Kashmir.
Quick Agreement Urged.
Britain and the United States
urged quick agreement by India
and Pakistan in the light of the
unsettled international situation
They suggested an armed force OF
U. N. members might be called on
to keep the peace when the troops
of the two nations withdraw.
India is understood to stand
firm on her original objections to
the posting of foreign troops on
Kashmir soil.
India's troops occupy most OF
the area. Pakistan has troops in
the remainder. Fighting between
the two ended January /. 1949. by
a u. N.cease- fire order. But India
charges Pakistan with the orig
inal aggression.
Pakistan Doubts Free Elections.
India is likely to continue to
press for permitting the Kashmir
people to elect a constituent as
sembly under the present occupa-
tional setup to decide their future
affiliation.
Pakistan maintains that, with
Indian troops holding most of the
country, the elections would not
be free. .Pakistan charges that
India refuses to agree to an open
plebiscite because most of Kash-
Mrs people are Moslem and prob
ably would vote to join with Mos

India Begins Drive
On Communist Bands
Near Assam Refinery
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW DELHI, India, Feb. 23.-
The Indian government has be-
gun a determined drive against
internal Communist forces in AS
sam, where this nations only i'm
portant oil field and refinery are
operating.
Government spokesmen insist
that Communist bands which
have been stirring up violence IN
Assam have not yet attempted to
attack the Assam Oil Co.'S Dig
boi refinery, but admitted that
the activity Of revolutionary
bands threatened the vital in
stallation. The refinery, so miles
west of the Burma border in the
tip of Assam Province, Is the only
one in India.
The refinery, with its adjoining
field, is producing 10000 tons Of
petroleum products annually and
supplying Assam with gasoline
and diesel fuel as well as export
ing to other parts Of India.
Home Minister Chakravarthi
Rajagopalachari told Parliament
Wednesday the situation in 13
Assam villages was disturbed and
dangerous as a result of Com
munist terrorism. Government
forces were conducting an active
roundup of Communists and their
ammunition.
Reports of the seizure of large
quantities of arms indicated that
the Assam Communists had been
capable of raids which could
threaten even such a we'll
protected installation as the Digboi
refinery.
The refinery was threatened by
invading Japanese during World
War II. The Japanese finally
halted only 25 miles away. Later
in the war petroleum from Digboi
supplied Allied conveys along the
Ledo road and was pumped into
China over the wartime pipeline.
Strategically the refinery would
be of top Importance to any in
vading force from the north or
east, since it provides the only
source of tank fuel between Burma
and Calcutta.
