She was chosen by Equity, it! Greenwich Village, New York, and wears some of the jewelry and leathereraft turned out by the members for their annual Spring Fair, WASHINGTON. June 4 Somewhere in the steaming thickness of the African jungles is a forlorn American bent on a mighty mission. This man is assigned to find a snail-eater, preferably an awful hungry one. And if he's lucky and succeeds, he's to take the critter to Guam bv the fastest route.

This unusual story has just come to light. It was told in the hearings before a House subcommittee on appropriations in connection with the Navy appropriation bill. The authority is one Capt. W. Jennings, assistant chief of naval operations for island governments.

He appeared before the secret hearings. Tt was like this; The Japs are a snail-eating elan. And when they took over Guam during the war they brought their lunch along. Those snails. Well, the Nips, as you may recollect, later deserted the island in kind of a hurry, leaving a lot of things, including their lunch basket, behind.

American Marines and GI's. with all those cans oi beans and delicious spam in their kits, had little appetite for snails. So what happened! The snails with nobody to eat 'em. started producing little snails by the millions. "They're about to over the island." cried Capt.

Jennings bis is he?" asked Rep A1 Thomas of Texas, referring, of course, to the snail. "About four to six inches replied the Navy man. "He weighs about a pound tt) a pound and a "And the Japanese eat him?" Mr. Thomas inquired. Yes, Sir.

That's what they carted 'em to Guam for." from the Congressman, who made a face. The captain said those doggone snails are about to eat the Navy out of business on the island. There are 11.000 arable acres on Guam: Good for raising corn, potatoes, peas, melons and any mischief-making from the snails. When the situation got out of hand, the Navy yelped for help. The National Research Council and the Department of Agriculture answered.

They lend-leased a crew of snail specialists to sit down and think hard about what to do. The crew included our man who went on a one-man search for snail- eaters in Africa. offending snail happens to be a giant African one which the Japs somehow imported.) Capt. Jennings woke the committee to attention when he dropped a remark that we may not be too safe from this snail in San Diego, Waterloo or Norfolk. "Let me tell you what happened just the other day." he said.

The committee sat up, cocking ears. The United States, it seems was fixing to ship some scrap metal from Saipan and the Marianas lo West Coast ports here. "On suspicion, we sent an entomologist from Guam to Saipan to examine the metal." He found the snails set for a boat ride. All bedded down, by the thousands, in the mud clinging to the metal. "What they would do to vegetation the United States." we can only guess," remarked the captain.

The C'omm'ttee shuddered. Rep. Noble J. Johnson of Indiana thought it was about time to change the subject, since it was near lunch time and he nave much of a yen for snail steak. "Does this African snail kick along as slow as our fine American snail?" lie wanted to know.

"The snails on Guam." the capt. answered, somewhat swifter. 1 he', lick our snails goinn; awav -on a fast track." Hospital Notes New Patients Shower Given For Bartlett Bride-Elect BARTLETT. June 4. Laverne Muelhause.
