Giant Neotropical Toad.

Man is always on the outlook for
free labor. He has the honey bee
working for him and the silkworm
also the bumblebee whose activities
assure clover seed. There are part
nerships that are a great success
among the outdoor folk. But man
has found a giant toad whose ac-
tivities among certain insects pro-
tects the valuable sugar crop.
This toad (Bufo marinus) is the
worlds largest species. One adult
fills q mans hat. It's desire for in
sects that love sugar cane is un-
limited. BY the time the toad
reaches an age of II months he is
500 times heavier than his 3-day-
old offspring.
In 1883 this toad was given his
scientific name. Prior to this date,
ne and his fellow travellers inhabited
the warm subtropical and tropical
regions from Southern Texas to
Northern Argentina.
Sometime in early the 10th
century planters of the West Indies
became aware Of the giant toad.
The idea came that this toad would
be an asset to the island of Mar

|McCarran Defends
Passport Division,
Criticized by Morse
BY the Associated Press

Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada yesterday defended the
passport division of the State De-
partment and its chief, Mrs. Ruth
B. Shipley, against charges of
tyrannical action.
Mrs. Shipley should be COM
mended for efficiency, courtesy
and fair play" Senator McCarran
told the Senate.
Senator McCarran's defense was
in reply to a speech made last
week by Senator Morse, Repub-
lican. of Oregon. Senator Morse
said the passport division operates
so secretly that one one-includ-
ing a United States Senator-can
find out why an application for a
passport has been rejected.
Furthermore, Senator Morse
said, any one who has been turned
down has no way to ask for a
review. Senator Morse jumped
on what he called the passport
divisions "tyrannical, arbitrary
and capricious exercise of discre-
ltion."
More Vigilance Urged.
Senator McCarran said that in
his opinion vigilance over pass
ports should be increased, not
weakened. He said Communist
couriers, by using passports, can
carry information abroad.
AS for making information
public on why passports are re-
jected, Senator McCarran said:
mo greater service could be
rendered the Kremlin than to
publicly disclose the security in
formation of our intelligence
agencies respecting the identity
and operations of the Communist
conspiracy in the United States. u
Senator McCarran's conclusion
IF passports have been denied
lin certain cases in which the
|ljunior Senator from Oregon
(Morse) is interested, then the
embarrassment is his and not the
passport division of the Depart.
ment of State"

Living Cost Up

WASHINGTON, -(AP)-The
governments cost of living index
rose another o.6 per cent to a
new peak in November.
As a result, approximately a
million and a quarter railroad
workers will get a pay boost of
four cents an hour Their wage
scales are tied to the rise and
fall of the index.
The Association of American
Railroaders estimate that each
cent an hour increase means for
the carriers about an extra 30
million dollars a year,
The Bureau of Labor Statistics,
which keeps the tally, said its in
dex reached 1886 per cent Of
the 1858 base level It said
that increase for miscellaneous
goods and services and in prices
of fresh fruits and vegetables was
mainly responsible for the rise.
The Bureau said the Nov Is
index was 10.8 per cent higher
than the June, 1850, before the
outbreak of the Korean War, and
SO per cent above November,
1850.
