v.. PAGE FOUR (Second Section) Pigeon Moocher Eats $300 Worth Salted Peanuts TOPEKA, Kan. (UP) The most persistent moocher in town is a pigeon named Old Tom. Take Jake Gies' word for it. Jake runs a downtown rilling station, and for nearly nine full years now the fat little pigeon has peen panhandling salted peanuts trom him. It was on a wintry day early in - 1939 that Jake spied the pigeon picking his way around in the snow in search for something to eat. He put a couple of pennies in the station peanut machine and fed the nuts to the bird. That did il. Old Tom came back tor more, not only every day but several times a day. "For a couple of years he brought a girl friend with hib," Gies said. "She was a little white birJ and Old Tom made it clear he wanted enough nuts for her. too. "She disappeared finally, but he brings a few friends with him now and then. He eats first, then lets them take what's left. "I think he's only a show-off." The multi-colored bird is just plain pigeon. He apparently has no special talents, like homing or car rying messages, according to a Topeka bird expert, But the pigeon is particular! about his diet, nevertheless. Gies has tried to feed liim other food, with little success. Tom reluctant ly accepts wheat and corn and flat ly refuses popcorn. He likes those salted peanuts. "Figured up the other daj. Gies said, "that Old Tom has eaten .Wn near S30U worth of peanuts. .Vid I they tell me he'll live three or 1 lour jears more. I'm just a soft touch, and tint i bird knows it the bum."

When the General Assembly ad journed last Nov. 29 after adopting the partition plan, it left a blue print for a new Palestine. Imple mentation of the plan was left for 1948. The current strife in the Holy Land was foreseen by Arabs, Jews, British and by most of those who supported the plan to carve Pales tine into separate Arab and Jew ish countries. Problem Anticipated When the Assembly acted, it had before It a warning from the U. N. Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) that "enforcement meas ures on an extensive scale may be necessary for some time." The big questions to be an swered in 1948 are: How far will the strife go? Will Britain adhere to the transition timetable set bv he U. N.? Can the Arabs be fore- ed to cooperate? Will the U. N. take adequate enforcement meas ures? The two new countries are sched uled to become sovereign independ ent nations by Oct. 1. but much iiust be done before then. British vacuation must be completed, pro isional governments established, ecurity forces set up and an econ miic union formed to insure a table economy in the Holy Land. So far only a few steps have ecn taken. The five-nation U. N. commis sion which will help set up the new egimes was called together for its 'tannins session, starting Jan. 9 t Lake Success.

Many millions of words have been uttered and much blood has been shed over Interpreta tion of those 67 words. The words are credited to Arthur James Balfour, then British foreign secretary, and Dr. Chaim Weismann, Zionist pioneer and celebrated chem ist. The declaration was drafted in 1917. It said: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the estab lishment in Palestine of a Na tional Home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it brine clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Pales tine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other ocuntry." on a provisional statute for Jerusa lem to be administered by the coun cil as an international zone outside the new Jewish and Arab countries.

I better Answer: Extension dairy special st at State College say that by ollowing certain practices, a dairy armer can greatly increase his an lual income. Free access to water of medium ?mperature is essential to maxi num milk production. The milk ig cow of average size requires om 8 to 10 gallons of water per ay. Milking should be done uickly, completely and at regular titervals. Dairy cows should be :ept comfortable, by ample pas- ure shade during the hot months nd adequate housing and good edding during the winter. A dairy ow needs a rest period of from ix to ei?ht weeks during which Ime she should be given ample mounts of feed to put her in good ondltloa for freshening time. landle the cows gently: rough reatment and high production are Malaria carrying mosquitoes tand ' on their heads when they )ite.

N. enforce parti tion? The program approved by the Assembly made no provisions for enforcement, despite warnings that force would be needed to put par tion into effect. This is certain to be a major issue before the V. N. Top U. N. officials agree that as long as the Palestine mandate remains in effect Britain will be responsible for maintaining order. But once the British pull out there is nothing to prevent U. N. inter vention. Question of Force Under the U. N. charter the Se curity Council can use force if the Palestine situation threatens international peace. The Council's big problem will be to determine what forces should be used. At present, there is no U, N. military force. The council might set up a provisional force for Pal estine or it might call upon indi vidual nations to send troops to the Holy Land. If the council should fail to act, then the "Little Assembly" un doubtedly would take up the prob lem and recommend a special ses sion of the full Assembly. The U. N. already has taken steps to retain the temporary Assembly chamber at Flushing Meadow 1'ark, New York, for such an emergency meeting. Oil men have found that good oil sites often arc found in areas where there was an ocean and abundant marine life a million or more years ago.
