Suicide-Bound
Lemmings March
To Death in Sea
Washington IP The call ol the
deep has lured the lemming into
his periodical and latal migra
tion to the sea again this year.
Tho Hrtlp Arctic rodent doesn't
know it, but the trek from the
polar regions to the open sea is
his death march. But even if the
lemming were aware of the wa-
1 tery grave at the end of the mi
gration, it is doubtful that the
: urge for self-destruction woujd
be deterred.
This freak obsession for death
has run in the lemming-family
for centuries, to the point where
the little rodent has become a
symbol of the suicide urge.
Ignore Obstacles
Every two to four years, ac
cording to the National Geograph
ic society, the lemmings succumb
to their fears and peculiar an
cestrial drives and seek relief In
mass flight. In hordes, tne ro
Hontc swnrm down the moun
tains, swim rivers, drive through
forests, and advance slowly to
ward the sea regardless ol oo
Stciclcs. Thousands die during the mi'
gration, which may last from one
to three years. But the march of
the survivors never ceases until
they reach the sea, into which
they plunge and drown.
The lemmings are kin to the
familiar house and iteia mice.
They are four or five; inches
long and tawny-yellowish In col
or. They have a short tall, furry
feet and small ears. )

Yanks Find Australia Good
Place to Live, But Pace Slow
Bv Phil Curran
(United ilre Sufi Corrmpondmt)
Sydney, Australia, Feb. 9 IP
Ex-G.I.'s are doing all right
"down under" in Australia, but
they have had to shift mental
gears.
Of more than 2,000,000 Ameri
can troops who surged through
Australia during world war II,
an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 have
returned to make their homes
here.
Sydnpy P. Pollack of Irving
ton, N.J., president of the Ameri
can Australasian Ex-Servicemen's
club, estimated another 20,000
ex-G.I.'s v.-snt to return here, but
are held up by a lack of shipping.
Pollack said about three-fourths
of the former American service
men in Australia either took their
discharges here or returned un
der the Australian government's
assisted immigration scheme.
Under this, the government pays
40 per cent of tourist-class pas
sage and guarantees a job.
Housing Scarce
The biggest beef among the re
turned former soldiers 13 the
shortage of housing and' high
rents in relation to income.
Eddie Olson, 28. of Mlnneanolis
pays $13.44 wpekly for a three
room furnished apartment. He is
its dating back to the days when studying accounting In a Sydnev
one about the same time, he
said. "It cost the same amount
and Isn't any better than mine."
Pace Blower
Kesseler's pet gripe is the Aus
tralian attitude toward work. He
operates a refrigeration business.
"Aussies aoni worn line we
work back home," he said. "You
can't get any production out of
your staff. They don't get any
kick out of working. They want
to get as much dough as possible
for as little work as possible.
They're much more interested in
a bottle of beer or going to the,
beach or to the races. The quality
of work Is good, but it comes
slow." ;
He said high import duties
made it touch to. produce refrig
erators to sell cheaply in a mass
marKei.
- George Brezwick, 29, of Buck
Mountain, Pa., who has just ar
rived to work for Kesseler, also
complained of the Import duties.
"I've got a 1948 DeSoto that I
want to bring in, so I can have
a car, but the Aussies want more
for duty than I paid for the car,
so I guess I'm going to keep
walking," he said.
Luxuries Missed
The ex-G.I.'s generally com
plained that their Australian in
comes do not permit them to buy
many things they took for grant.

cars, refrigerators, extra radios,
electric kitchen appliances and
the like. i
None, however, wanted to be la
belled a "big noter" or "squawk-
er. "
Bill Reltner, 28, of Catskill,
N.Y., a researcher for J. Walter
Thompson - Advertising agency,
said most of the chronic "squawk
ers" already have returned to the
States. ,
"You'll find a chronic kicker
in any crowd," he said. "I think
Australia is a soft touch. There
are great opportunities out here.
"Competition is easy because
the Australian doesn't like to
work as hard as we do. I think
ii's easier to make a good stake
than it is in the States and . to
so bad despite what youve
heard."
Arjen Jager, 32, of Salt Lake
City, who used to be a carpenter
DacK in tne Mates, is now a salesman-
for Australia's second larg
est real estate firm.
Country Still Young
"I switched because rear estate
is a wide-open field here," he
said. "This is a young country,
growing all the time, with more
demand for housing and office
space; Besides, the competition is
not wo tougn., .
C. G. Castor, 37, of Spokane,
Wash., who is working for an
advertising agency, commented
that he was "on a good wicket"

Pollack said there are still
150,000 Jobs open In Australia.
"Any GJ. who wants can eet
work," he said. "But he'll have
to change some of his State-side

if he wants to be happy.
