Jackrabbit Shortage
There apparently is developing n world shnrtngp of
believe it or not juckrabbit.s.
This comes as sort of a shock.
For many years the Western United States was liter
ally covered with jackrabbits. Big; rabbit drives were held
in many sections of the country in an attempt to cut down
the rabbit population. Some of these such as the fam
ous rabbit drives in the Colorado plains area north and
east of Denver used to result in the deaths of hundreds
of thousands of rabbits.
Hut the rabbits, with the facility with which they re
produce their kind, recovered quite well from many of
the drives.
Finally a disease, tularemia, accomplished what the
drives could not do, and reduced the rabbit population
drastically, to the point where with a relatively few ex
eeplions rabbits urc not the scourge to gardens and
"rowing crops which they were at one time.
In the meantime, however, the jackrabbit had been
introduced into the bit? Australian continent, where they
multiplied as only rabbits can and soon took over vast
areas of Australian ranifeland, eating it off so thoroughly
that it was rendered uninhabitable for sheep and cattle.
The Australians didn't like the rabbits, either, und
begun to look for ways to cut down their huge number.
About the only ones who were happy about (he num
ber of rabbits in Australia were hat manufacturers,
Hat makers use rabbit hides, lots of them, in making
the felt which is the base for more than four out of five
of the hats sold in this country. One large manufacturer
alone uses some 12 million pelts a year.
Now there seems to be developing a diversity of in
terests between Australian ranchers and America's hat in
dustry. The Australians have introduced a disease myx
omatosis into the rabbit population, and the bunnies art
dying off in droves.
The Australians are happy. Their ranges are coming
back from the barren stage they had reached when the
rabbit hordes were hardest at work eating and reproduc
ing. But the hat manufacturers are griping because the
smaller number of rabbits has caused the price of rabbit
pelts to triple in the past two years, from two dollars a
pound to six dollars a pound.
Remembering back a few years, who would ever have
suspected that u world shortage of jackrabbits would de
velop? j

More Relief Needed
Red China has announced that to "relieve interna
tional tension" she will release four American flyers held
by the Reds since they were captured during the Korean
war.
International tension would have been relieved much
more if the Chinese had said they would release all the 51!
persons she is now holding instead of just four of them.

By Another Name
The name Universal Military Service has a pretty
poor connotation to many Americans, many of whose
ancestors left Kurope in decades past because of objec-1
tions to such service in European armies.
With the changing world military .situation there
Hems to bo a need for such n program now, a need which
did not exist prior to World War 11.
So, for the past three or four sessions of congress
attempts have been made to put such a plan in effect
here, but under another name.
This session of congress is dealing with n "military ;
reserve bill," which amounts to much the same thing, but
so far the hill has had rough going. 1
Under the bill, men could volunteer for six months of
service in tfie armed forces, to be followed by seven and
one-half years of reserve training activity. Truly, it's a
rose by another name.
So far the bill 1ms been blocked by a group of south
ern representatives in the house who object to an amend-'
ment lo the bill which prohibits racial segregation in
the service units to which reservists might be assigned.
They seem to be in no hurry to bring it out, and it might
die in committee in spite of administration efforts to
shove it through.
