The
Rambler
OF Mice and Men
And q Tender Trup
By JACK JONAS

Pentagon powers that be
take a dim view of mice
finding loopholeS in the Ma
TONS center of defense and
running through the corridors
frightening secretaries and
startling even more important
people.
General Services Admin
iStration combats this in
filtration as best it can by
sending a rodent expert
around every so often to GUST
any undesirables.
But one mouse-not much
bigger than a finger joint
found a champion, a female
champion, at that.
A few days ago a field
mouse forsook his natural
habitat and invaded the Pen
tagon. He picked a day when
the GSA man was there, pre-
pairing to do his duty.
But also present was this
young lady. She defied the
Defense Department and the
GSA and said, in effect, that,
no, sir, they weren't going to
kill that cute little mouse.
She scooped him up tender
~ and put him in a small
box. There he stayed, care
fully guarded on her desk,
until quitting time.
Then she got on the bus
and took him home.
The Pentagon was rid of the
mouse. so nobody made an
issue of the matter.

Golfers are thankful for
small favors, like finding a
lost ball now and then.
A man playing a round at
the Fairfax Country Club the
other day hit a gold mine. In
a small creek, made even
smaller by lack of recent
moisture, he spotted nest of
golf balls.
The water was only about
a foot deep, SO he took off his
shoes and socks, waded in, and
recovered q of the dimpled
nuggets.

A lady who lives across
Sixteenth street from the
Statler reports that the last
minute rush to be dressed
for Easter was evident at
the hotel early last Sunday.
In a fifth floor window
near Sixteenth and L
streets, she says, an array
Of feminine laundry was
draped over a venetian
blind. At the other end,
near X street, another blind
held male laundry.
And a window in the CEN
ter showed a pile of wet
wash on the window sill and
an ironing board leaning
against the pane.

Geography

1t would be the National
Geographic Society, natu-
rally, that has probably the
only library in the United
States with its books ar
ranged geographically for
easier reference.
On the east wall of a long
room in the building that
was the SOciety's original
small offices are books con-
corning the continents.
Books about the Arctic are
at the fartheSt point north.
From there they work along
the wall toward the south
end of the room, with books
about the Antarctic at the
far south end.
On the west wall are
tones corning the
United States. Books refer
ring to places like Maine
are at the north end, and
on down the line they go to
Florida and Texas at the
south end.

possible to have this sound gener-
ously democratic. For the imph-
cation can be presumed to be that
Indians, like any other citizens,
have a right to an equal oppor-
tunity for work, for education,
and for seeking the better values
of American life. There are, how
ever, few places in the nation in
which some form of cultural or
racial prejudice does not operate
to keep this opportunity unequal
at the very start.
States More Hostile
The reason why there seems so
often to be an inner contradiction
among the Indians about giving
up the reservations to live as full
citizens of the States in which
these reservations are located is
that whatever the treatment by
the remote Federal Government,
the states themselves are more
likely to be hostile. II would mean
control by the very persons with
whom they have been in COMPETE
ton and conflict.
The revolution in the American
economy has thrown into sharp
focus the position of these long
neglected minorities, some of
whom have varying cultural diff
ference from the Angio-Saxon
norms, and other minorities which
share the basic culture OF the ma
ton.
There is a common element of
discrimination and segregation
which defines these groups as
minorities and creates hardship
and disadvantage. Though the
lack and regional situations diff
fer in specific history and detail,
the lack of social acceptance, pre-
judicial personal attitudes and the
existence of institutional and adj
ministrative practices designed to
define these groups for special
treatment apply rather uniformly
TO members of these groups.
Cultural factors constitute the
unique and different elements in
the orientation of the groups
themselves, in the complexity of
problems facing them, in the
strategy designed by their organi-
cations and leaders in solving the
detailed problems, and they also
determine slight but clearly-ex-
istent differences in prognosis.
Sudden End To Reservations
Unsound
II appears quite clear that
most of the American public, and
even other minority leaders. have
