Rabbits Habits
Bring Trouble
For Professor

PARIS RHProf. Paul Armand
Delille forgot about the habits of
rabbits when he started his expert
ment. The result was a success
on such scale that he's been in
trouble ever since.
Armand-Delille was annoyed by
rabbits munching on the flowers
and vegetables in his garden. A
man of science, he imported some
myxomatosis virus from Australia,
where it had been used to reduce
the rabbit population. Myxomato-
sis kills rabbits with up to 80 per
cent certainty in 10 to IL days.
The professors garden prompt
ly was freed of rabbits. But once
started, there was no way to limit
the spread of the disease among
the sociable rodents. 1t spread and
spread until rabbits were dying
ali over France. They died in It.
ally, Switzerland, Belgium, Ger
many and finally in Britain.
Hunters and manufacturers Of
hunting equipment cried murder.
People who make at least part of
their living from wild rabbits
hunters, hunting clubs, shotgun
and shell manufacturers, furriers,
gamekeepers, etc.-claimed that
the professor had done 60 billion
francs ($171 ,42s, 5000 worth of DAM
age.
1t has been two years since the
professor set out to purge his gar
den of rabbits, but the end is not
in sight.
The Superior Council for Hunt
ing, which has a special man to
study the myxomatosis situation,
says France is spotted with islands
where wild rabbit life is extinct.
There's not much that can be
done to save wild rabbits. Tame
rabbits can be inoculated.
Inc huntlng people seem ABOUT
tie only ones who are worried.
The Ministry Of Agriculture scarce
ly conceals its pleasure. It says
wild rabbits are harmful animals
because they eat young plants, de-
stroy the boundary marks between
fields, and chew up tree sprouts
in the forests.
Armand.Delille has been sued by
a woman who claims her domes-
tic rabbits were wiped out by the
disease. An association of hunters
has joined in the suit. The profess
sor was ordered to pay damages
to the woman, but he has ap-
pealed the case.

Moscow's New Belligerence
Policy Shows Abrupt Change
BY WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign News Analyst

The new belligerence of Mos
cows policy, turning abruptly
away from the peaceful coexist-
ence theme, is accompanied by an
internal campaign seemingly
aimed at tanning war hysteria
among the peoples of the Soviet
Union.
The campaign has an ugly look,
but it does not mean the U.S.S.R.
is now ready to risk world war.
II does suggest the beginnings of
an all-out mobilization on the home
front, a process which can occupy
long period.
Trud, the trade union newspaper,
has been telling workers that dan
ger threatens all Europe and a
new arms race is in the making
because of activities of the "ene-
mics of peace" Implicit in this
was the message that guns must
come before butter. The campaign
is keyed to the idea of more work
to insure the country's security.
This drive is tied in with an
attempt in Europe to stop ratifi-
cation of the Paris agreements to
rearm West Germany, and with
the flood of Soviet threats and
protests to Western governments.
The massive peace offensive which
began when Stain died in March
1853 appears near its end in the
usual Stalinist pattern of political
retreat and attack. Threats now
take the place of soft words.
While Moscow threatens to scrap
her treaties with Britain and
France, the people on the home
front are getting a liberal dose of
patriotic catchwords.
Highly publicized meetings were
arranged in Soviet cities and VIII
lagos, all in the same pattern, to
provide platforms for this line. The
meetings were covered in detail
by the Soviet press.
Speakers echoed the sentiments
expressed by Foreign Minister v.
nj. Molotov Dec. 10 at a Moscow
meeting ostensibly dedicated to
celebrating the anniversary of the
French-Soviet Mutual Aid Treaty.
Molotov revived Stalin's words OF
a few years ago. Stain said then,
at a time when East-West re-
lations were desperately bad, that
peace could be secured only if
peoples of the world took matters
into their own hands, but war
would be inevitable if 'the war
mongers are permitted to foist lies
on the masses, deceive them and
draw them toward a new world
war"
Molotov said that "if necessary
the Soviet Union can demonstrate
its might, show the righteousness
and justice of its cause" He said
ratification of the Paris agree
ments would make it necessary for
"peace-loving countries to under
take necessary measures to coun-
terpose a no less miy force. :"

Mike Awaits
Word On His
Christmas Joy

CLEARFIELD, Utah R- Mike
Katsanevas is expecting word from
Greece today that will tell him
whether he will spend Christmas
with his nine children.
Mike can spend the holiday with
the children if he wants-Uncle
Sam took care of that yesterday.
The State Department said in
Washington that passports would
be ready tomorrow for six of his
children who are in Athens, Greece
but it also denied a passport to
his wife because she has an in.
fectious disc ~e.
Now Mike says it's up to the
kids whether they want to leave
their mother behind and come to
the United States. If they decide
to come, they can fly here by
Christmas.
Mike, 66, is a janitor at the
naval supply depot here. He lives
with two Of his children in Salt
Lake City. A son is expected home
today after serving with the Army
in Korea.
For seven years he has been
dreaming of having his family with
him in America. Several times in
recent weeks he has thought his
dreams would come true. But
there has always been interference.
First there was not enough mon.
ey. Then workers at the naval
depot Clipped in more than 81, 500.
Next there was red tape to be
cut. Two sailing dates were can.
celed. Sen. Arthur v. Watkins (R-
Utah) was asked to help. Trans
World Airlines offered its assist
ance. Watkins said in Washington
yester that the State Department
would have passports for the six
children ready in Athens tomor-
row. But there would be none for
Mrs. Katsanevas. She has acute
amoebiasis, a disease that is in
fectious, but durable.
When asked if he wanted the
children to come on even if their
mother had to remain behind,
Mike said:
"Yes, l do," he said, but then
he added: "But I'm a little blue
without my wife. l guess I'd rather
have them all come together. It's
hard for me to take care of the
kids without their mother.
"It's up to the kids now"
Their answer is expected today.

that the state lacks evidence to
convict Roberts ''on any degree Of
homicide" He said the prosecu-
ton cannot rely upon the very
material testimony of the witness
C. Clarke Wood"
Wood is private detective who
claimed he had seen Roberts on
the morning of July I near the
bay-front thicket where the child's
body was found. Brautigam said
he would ask the grand jury at
its next meeting whether Wood
should be indicted for perjury.
