Moonlight Affects Sex Ratio Of Rats, Scientist Reports
Although the effect of moonlight usually is thought of in connection with popular songs and poetry, it extends to a less romantic subject—rats.
The influence of moonlight on the sex ratio of rats trapped on the Old Spanish Trail in Arizona was the subject of one of the papers presented before the 37th annual meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists, meeting at KU this week.
150 Mammologists Meet Here A group of 150 mammalsists from all parts of the U. S. and several foreign countries heard 61 papers during the week on subjects ranging from the South American tree porcupine to the land mammals of Kodiak Island, Alaska.
Keith Justice, University of Arizona, Tucson, explained that the sex ratio of moonlight trapping denotes different activities than sex population. A higher ratio of male rats were trapped during the full moon than during a new moon. The full significance of findings are not yet understood, according to Justice, but, present facts indicate that data on other species follow the same direction.

A baby possum was taken after its mother had been killed by a car. It was fed by hand with a baby bottle until it could have its first solid food, an apple. Later it ate bread soaked in honey and by the time it was grown it would eat almost anything on the table. The mammalologists will conclude their five-day meeting today with trips to the KU Natural History Reservation or the KU Experimental Fish Ponds.

Hearings Stay On TV
SAN FRANCISCO-(UP)—Chairman Francis E. Walter today refused to halt the televising of House Un-American activities Subcommittee hearings as ordered by Speaker Sam 'Rayburn, declaring that there was no House rule requiring him to do so.
Rayburn told newsmen in Washington earlier today that he was ordering an immediate halt to the televising of the San Francisco hearings. He said he expected Walter to abide by his edict. He indicated that he had not known that Walter's group had been violating a ban he laid down in a ruling to the House in 1952 and again in 1955.
Walter at first told reporters "I can't do anything about it (televising). We are the guests at city hall."
Then a witness, Ellis Colton, San Francisco bookstore owner, cited Rayburn's ruling along with judicial and constitutional grounds for refusing to answer questions.
As television cameras rolled for
the third straight day, Colton said the hearings were being televised in violation of "Rules of the House of Representatives as publicly announced by Speaker Sam Rayburn yesterday."
Spectators laughed at Colton's next remark—that he did not want to get involved in a "conspiracy to violate the House rules."
But Walter told him "There is no such rule." The Pennsylvania Democrat ordered Colton to answer the questions, but he refused on grounds of possible self-incrimination.
"I can't do anything about tele vision, radio or the newspapers," he said.
Earlier Walter told newsmen after being informed of Rayburn's order that even if he received a direct telegram or telephone call from Rayburn ordering him to ban television of the hearings "it would still be the same answer."
