Los Angeles Soon For Flea Bites As Los Angeles U.R) Scratch ing citizens heard official warn ings today that Los Angeles rats were getting out of hand, but worried more about the fleas that are on them. The news that fleas are in creasing their families along with the rats was revealed by a recognized flea expert of the west coast, Dr. O. W. Pierce. The doctor, an entomologist at the Los Angeles museum, said complaints were pouring In from flea-bitten citizens. Soon, he reflected, Hollywood will be famous not only for bars, blondes, and bathing suits but for flea bites. Frisco Fleas 'Famous' "Of course Los Angeles isn't the only flea city In California," Pierce pointed out. "San Fran cisco fleas are famous. But fleas in the Golden Gate city are mostly "beach" fleas, the doctor explained, as the city is built on sand. Flea bites are discussed In the best circles In San Francisco, the flea expert added. "However, our fleas are rat fleas," he said, "so they're never mentioned in polite company." But they're mentioned to the city health department. Irate citizens have reported that the sharp-toothed bugs are hanging around theaters and streetcars for sustenance. Some even con tended the fleas patronize double features to insure a longer meal. This livelihood is short, how ever, for the theaters in the city HIGHLIGHTS OF THE l I for men now in the Army ' to retain their present ft grades by reenlisting ... 4" v " j f ' J-5 " (f ) t t ataauilAliiH.I Hi" fai ')Y ij t--- t.

His rescript contained a note of alarm over the "radical ten dencies" emerging in Japan since the end of the war, a hint that the still-powerful Imperial house believed the political swing away from the policies of the wartime governments might have gone too far to the left. He also called -attention to a letdown In Japanese morality since the surrender, as reflected In reports of Increasing lawless ness In various parts of the country.

Fleas are dis criminating, Pierce explained, and taste the flavor of a victim's skin before first taking a nip. Incidentally, some Los Angeles fleas, unlike those In other parts j of the nation, have teeth on the back of their heads. The expert indignantly denied that the increase of rats and their parasites has Jumped the; flea circus business here. It's just a trick done with threads, anyway, he said. j "Who'd pay to see a flea?
