Females Outnumber Men in United States Washington (U.R) Women now outnumber men in the j United States by 1.4 million. Ever since 1950, the nation's female population has been on the rise. That year, the num ber of women topped the num ber of men by only 600,000. But as of last July 1, the Census Bureau reported Sunday, there were 84,736,000 women to 83,355,000: men a lead of 1.4 million. " The gap has more than doubled primarily because of a higher average death rate among men and a decline in the number of males among immigrants.

A weasel breaks into a coop and overnight kills ten to 60 chickens; a wolf pulls down a dozen prized sheep; a bear slaps down six beeves; in fact, a gray fox broke into a Redding. Conn., game farm and made a stupend ous kill of 824 pheasants, partly eating only one bird. And so, weasel, wolf, bear and fox are labeled wanton, unprin cipled killers. But are they? Does this lust for killing occur in the wild? Seldom. In the open a wolf may take two or three rabbits from an area but then he moves on; in the African veldt, Walt Disney's cameramen have told me. lions walk alongside ante lope without molesting them un less hunger strikes: a bear throws out of the river only those salmon it can eat. After killing one animal, eat ing it and hunger assuaged, the desire for further killing is gone. More realistically, perhaps, the heavy stomach would impede catching fast game even if the desire were there. But when confronted with man's domesticated animals made witless by man's pamper ing, these one-at-a-time killers frequently go berserk. Instead of scattering as would their wild predecessors these domesticated animals often crowd in close to gether. A man with a gun or rod when excited by a superabundance of easy game often loses his head, too . An excited hunter will sometimes shoot down ducks as long as the storm-driven flocks come to his decoys. Or an excit ed angles may keep on catching fish as long as they take his of fering. Kept Scooping Smelt I remember smelt runs on the Sandy in Oregon when the river actually rose several inches by reason of the tremendous almost solid silvery hordes of fish swim ming upstream.

(Need I add. those fantastic runs are no more.) Now, why do wild animals sometimes go on such killing rampages among game that is over-simple to kill? Possibly, these three sugges tions made by William J. Long in The Spirit of The Wild may contain most of the answers: 1. The fox, weasel, bear in fact all predators, play as natur ally as they eat or sleep a com mon form of that play being to chase anything that runs away. And this playing cubs playing with wounded mice, for exam ple is most important: it devel ops quickness of decision, alert ness, muscular co - ordination, and gives bodily training which will be invaluable for later sur vival. Bui among witless animals, this play can get out of hand and run to hysterical extremes, just as it does with boisterous, romp ing children. So play may sud denly become senseless, hysteri cal killing. 2. Or is there a measure of hoarding in this "lust for kill ing?" One way or another all mammals display a hoarding im pulse. To survive the winter, a chipmunk will lay Mp a store of seeds, a pika a pile of sun-cured hay, an Arctic fox will bury extra lemmings, a woodchuck will change his feeding habits to accumulate a heavy layer of fat on which to live for five months of winter sleep. Others carry this hoarding to senseless limits: the crow will hide everything which glitters; a pack rat will carry away anything it can carry. (Not unlike some human ac titivies: a boy may accumulate useless marbles, his elders post age stamps, china cups, first edi tions). Remembrance Lingers Among a helpless flock, a re membrance of things past lingers on a hoarding impulse which is now uncurbed, and leads to " " A X MM MgLmm v oo UN Police Troops Due in Cairo Today Naples, Italy (U.R) The first contingent of United Nations troops was expected to fly to Cairo sometime today to begin policing the Suez Canal Zone. Some 152 troops from Den mark, Norway and Colombia awaited a go-ahead signal from Egypt and the United Nations. Five other nations will also con tribute to the 6,000-man U.N. force. Canadian troops were expect ed to arrive sometime today. ruthless killing without eating. 3. Or, as with hunters and anglers faced with a super abundance of easy game, do they simply go off their nut, loco, crazy? At any rate, suddenly a preda tor finds himself in a flock of senseless sheep and he kills a dozen before he stops to eat his first mouthful. Maybe the crowd ing, bleating mass throw him off his natural balance, making him kill wildly. A fox, who is used to hunting assiduously for one hard-to-come-by bird, is suddenly confronted with a coopful of crowding easy game.
