Relax. rabbits. Congress isn't
cunning for you after all. Not
Just yet, anyway.
There's been some agitation in
sporting circles lately to do
something about the rabbit pop
ulation in the San Juan Islands,
located in Washington States
Puget Sound. Two of the most
popular suggestions:
/. Wipe out the varmints be-
fore they get out of hand, the
way they did In Australia.
2. Forbid the shipment Of San
Juan rabbits in interstate COM
merce. Some of them turned up
in Pennsylvania a while back,
for dog trials and such purposes,
and-well, you know about the
habits OF rabbits. There now are
at least enough rabbits in those
parts Of Pennsylvania.
IOwans Fear Invasion
All this became a matter OF
public concern when some Iowa
farm groups fearful of a SINH
lar inyasion of their State
passed resolutions against San
Juan rabbits and limited that one
of thecongressmen, Representa-
tive Cunningham. Republican OF
Iowa. ought to do something
about 1t.

week he would introduce q bill
both to eradicate the rabbits and
to prohibit their shipment in In
terstate commerce.
This in turn stirred up Rep
resentative Wesland. Republican
of Washington. Although better
known as a champion golfer than
as a rabbit fancier. Mr.. West
land came to the Dummies de-
tense.
"These rabbits" he declared
in the Congressional Record,
have provided pleasure both as
sport and food for the people
|of the islands"
Brought by British Troops
Mr.. Westland also went into
the history Of the rabbits, which
he said we're brought to the is
lands by the British troops which
occupied those parts prior to the
Oregon treaty of 1846.
The Washington a W m a k e r
also put into the Record a pro-
rabbit letter from X. F. Dough-
erty Of Friday Harbor, Wash,
who says the bad habits Of the
rabbits have been much exag-
Igerated--and that, in any case,
they make fine eating.
Mr.. Cunningham now says he
has no anti-rabbit bill in the
hopper and no present plans to
introduce one. His office said
there's no telling what the fu-
IRE may bring. however. A

said evidence was found that the
man fired four shots from a 49,
caliber revolver. The officer said
the intruder must have panicked
because "he was shooting aim
lessly."
Mr.. Gray said that after the
man got out Of the house, he
tGray) fired another shot out the
window ito attract the atten-
ton of neighbors."
The theory that the slain man
had an accomplice or ac-
completes was supported by
Gray's report that during the
excitement the dog, a beagle
hound, ran barking from win
dow to window as though she
had spotted someone lurking
outside.

Number of Problems
To be sure, the experts who

Der of problems. For one thing,
they point out that. unlike the
coal and steel industries. no one
can predict how the develop

the national economies and the
national interests of the diff

stage. development in any di-

Progress along one line might
favor one country economically

the burdens equally, how is it
possible to promise equal rewards
among all the nations of the

At best, certain rivalry seems
inevitable. France is at the

Ives Plan Urges

On I'd Term Asked
BY JACK BELL


Senator Ives. Republican Of
New York. suggested today that
President Eisenhower could end
second term speculation by an
nouncing that If his health con-
tinues to improve up to conven-
ton time he would accept the
Republican nomination.
Mr.. Eisenhower has said his
health will be a major factor
In his decision. But when he was
asked at his news conference
Wednesday whether his health
was the only problem, he called
that q question that no one can
answer
The Republican National Con-
vention viii open August 20 in
San Francisco Senator Ives said
in an interview he thinks the in
terval would give the President
sufficient time to test his en-
durance and decide whether he
feels able to take on four more
years of the presidency.
THE President could say that
il he is still on the upgrade ply
sically by convention time he
would accept the nomination, "
Senator Ives said. THE Ameri-
can people know they would get
an honest decision. In my opin-
ion the decision, whatever it is,
would be accepted without ques-

Expects Straight Answer
However. Senator Payne, Re-
publican Of Maine, one of the
original 1852 Eisenhower sup
'porters, said in a separate in

President will make any condi-
tional announcement.

no." Senator Payne said. And
when he makes his decision it
should be accepted without any
pressure on him to change it,"
Senator Payne said he expects
Democrats to continue to dis
cuss Mr.. Eisenhower's health in
the campaign If the President
runs again.
