MONKEYS BIG BUSINESS Monkey business is big busi
ness in India. During 1959 a total of 153,614 monkeys were
exported, most of them to the United States and Great
Britain. The small rhesus monkeys are used for medical
research, in the production of vaccines and in space tests.

Exporting Rhesus

Big Business Item
Fleet To Combat
Russ Missile Subs
Washington. -fljPlt-The Navy
has been reported to be seri
ously considering construction
of a fleet of swift new des
troyers to combat the threat
of Soviet missile submarines.
Missiles and Rockets maga
zine said the destroyers would
carry antimissile missiles that
could knock down an enemy
missile as it broke from the
surface of the sea.
The swift ships also would
have tile capability of dashing
close to an enemy shore and
launching missiles of several
hundred miles range against
land targets.
The magazine said the main
argument for proceeding as
rapidly as possible with the
development of a hydrofoil
destroyer is the expected fu
ture threat from Russian nuclear-powered
subs.
The Russians are expected
to begin deploying missile
launching submarines off
U.S. coasts by about 1969. The
magazine said they would be
able to outrace any conven
tional warship now afloat.
The hydrofoil craft would
be able to speed over the sea
at between 60 to 100 knots -
nearly two or three times fast-;
er than any present U.S. sur
face ship. .
New Delhi (UPK If this
sounds like a lot of monkey
business, it is!
During 1959, a total of 155,
614 monkeys were exported
from India, most of them to
the United States and Britain.
Sales amounted to SI. 200, 000.
The monkeys - small rhesus
varieties weighing four to six
pounds - are used for medical
research and in the produc
tion of polio and yellow fever
serums.
Center ef Storm
Although monkey exports
seldom raise Indian eyebrows
these days, in 1955 the simi
ans were the center of a na
tionwide storm. The trouble
started when indignant Hin
dus claimed a number of In
dian monkeys died in London
as the result of inhumane
treatment.
Orthodox Hindus regard
monkeys in much the same
manner as they do sacred
cows. No Hindu dares hurt the
monkeys and Moslems wisely
leave them alone.
The London incident creat
ed a furor in India. Orthodox
Hindus demanded that mon
key exports be banned. The
matter was debated in parlia
ment and Prime Minister Neh
ru ordered an investigation
American and British re
search organizations were able
to convince the Indian govern
ment that exports should con
tinue. Diplomats personally
assured Nehru the monkeys
would be treated well and that
the Indian religious senti
ments would be respected.
The result was that monkey
exports continued but a num
ber of restrictions were im
posed. They included the pro
vision that the monkeys were
to be used only for medical
research and in making serums.
The government also moved
in on the monkey trapper.
Trappers were told to obtain
licenses and were ordered to
bag their monkeys in a hu
mane way.
Although the captured simi
an is doomed in the interest of
science, he leads a good life
until the end. One monkey
exporter, H. S. Ray, of the
Vita Company Ltd., keeps his
monkeys happy and relaxed
with music from a cage-side
radio.
Must Be Flown
Under law, the monkey
must be flown to his final
destination. Proper feeding is
required at the airport. At
his destination the monkey is
met by an Indian representa
tive who must be satisfied

Lest there be any doubt of
the Indian's concern for his
monkeys, an official of the In
dian embassy in Washington
sought clarification on the ori
gin of monkeys used in space
research. The national health
institute assured the diplomat
Indian monkeys would not be
space pioneers.
