Few people realize the tremendous waste from these purees alone. Rats and other rodents, for instance, eat or aste around 200 million bushels of grain annually. The waste in some irncribs is terrific, and in order to undertake an effective ratextermina-3- n campaign, it is almost necessary for every farmer in a community to terminate at the same time. Otherwise, the rats leave one farm for lother. Last year congress so drastically cut the funds of the bureau s of wildlife that its campaign against rats was knocked cold. I Weevils and other insects in grain bins and grain elevators destroy Mother 300 million bushels, a loss which could be eliminated by proper graying and fumigation. Plant diseases also take a tremendous toll, but can be partly con-olle- The wheat crop in Montana was increased 25 per cent by spraying eeds. What congress should do immediately is to pass the appropriation jquester1 Secretary of Agriculture Anderson for insecticide control and iil conservation. This should be voted hand in hand with foreign relief. In '.ct, one is essential to the other. VALTER WINCHELL Votes of a Bystander "Former Ambassador Joseph P. nnedy has more $$$ than the U. S. int.

As a matter of titular history it is interesting to note that Mme. Magda Lupescu outranks the Duchess of Wind sor, whom so many social-climbi- Americans are anxious to cultivate.

WALTER SHEAD Protection of Civil Rights .I 7ITH the electoral votes of nine key states probably hanging in the ' balance California, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jer-:- New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania leaders in both parties are seek-l- g a way to enact some of the provisions proposed by President Truman's vil rights committee before the next session of congress adjourns for le 1948 elections. These states account for 223 out of the 266 electoral votes needed to ame a president, and negroes and other minority "groups may hold the alance of voting power in all of them. I Hence, it is conceded that legislation for a Fair employment . practices commission, voting restrictions such as the poll tax and an law will be pushed In the next session pushed squarely up against a southern senate filibuster unless strength can be found to adopt a cloture rule by majority instead of the j present two-thi- vote necessary. J President Truman already has committed himself on these and other 'roposals of the civil rights committee and is expected to endorse more Jach legislation in his message on the state of the union. ., On the Republican side, Speaker Joe Martin has pointed out that the tjouse passed an anti-pol- l tax bill last July and it is now in the senate for ae-on.

Ouse Required To Trap 'Elite' On Unpaid BISSs Average Poor Man Termed More Realistic About Paying Off. NEW YORK. When the swells on Park avenue don't pay their bills it takes a mighty clever process server to trap them. "It's not like Third avenue at all," said Ernest M. Schuyler, who also works as a city marshal. Schuyler, a fat jolly man, said, "I guess on Third avenue, since peo-ple are poorer, they are more real-istic. They just sit and wait most of the time never seem too surprised when you find them." But Park avenue. "First you gotta find the correct apartment," he explained, "and that's not easy. Then, after finding it, maybe you call them on the tele-phone and they reply: 'Nothing doing.' " He's Never Daunted. Schuyler never allows a simple "nothing doing" even if spoken with an Oxford accent to daunt him. "This is the point where most of the boys fail," he said. "This is where you must use your head. "I dress up in my best Sunday suit. If it takes a top hat I'm willing to wear it. I breeze past the elevator man and he thinks I'm some mil-lionaire visitor. Then I slip up and ring the bell. "If the maid answers the door, I simply ask: 'Is Mme. in?' Before they realize it, I've got them." In all his years of process serving, Schuyler said, only one person a woman got sore and socked him. "This is why some process serv-ers get poked," he explained. "They ring a doorbell. The man answers. They say, 'Are you John Smith?' The man replies, T am.' Then, wham, they stick the papers out at him. They Talk It Over. "Now I never do that. Wouldn't think of it. I ring a man's bell and I say, 'How are you today?' Then I ask, 'May I come inside?' "I don't like conducting business with a door between me and some-body. Then he lets me in and we start talking." Schuyler said many times the man tells him why he can't afford to pay up his back debts and they talk it over. "One man has been paying me $15 a week for 10 weeks now," he recalled. "He's all paid up, so I went over to his house and said: " 'If you can pay me, you can put money in the bank. See how easy it is?' "Okay, I'm a process server, but he's one guy that doesn't hate me." One person in Brooklyn eluded Schuyler for an entire year. "You gotta be patient," he ex-plained. "Sooner or later they come back to town on a big weekend. That's when I catch them." The average poor man will pay his bills, Schuyler insists, if he finds a job. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT H , ) AUTOS, TRUCKS & ACCESS. . Hfflll ; USED CARS vj NOBODY BUYS MORE j ...
