‘Bat Nets’ Make
Unusual Catches
“I’ve noticed that there is a variety of viewpoints on
National Affairs!”
Britain Proposes
Rhodesian Plans
Bat researcher Dr. W. B. Davis
of Texas A&M’s Wildlife Science
Department made some unusual
catches in his bat nets in Central
American caves during a just
completed two-month outing.
He caught several four-eyed
fish, cuatro ojos, in bat nets set
near the mouths of caves.
“These fish, about eight to ten
inches long, get excited some
times and jump over the surface
of the water,” Dr. Davis explain
ed. “Since I set nets very close
to the water to trap bats, the fish
became entangled in the net and
their weight pulled the net fur
ther down into the water. As a
result, I caught even more fish.”
To the professor’s dismay, the
fish were inedible.
Dr. Davis was accompanied on
the 6,700-mile jaunt by Mrs.
Davis, who made a hit with 4-H
participants i n Jutiapa. Mrs.
Davis spoke to the club, similar
to 4-H clubs in the United States,
about sewing. She once did 4-H
work in Washington.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A 5 )
— Britain proposed Thursday that
the U.N. Security Council invoke
mandatory economic penalties and
an arms embargo against Rho
desia to bring down the 13-months
old white minority regime.
In a speech to the 15-nation
council, British Foreign Secre
tary George Brown offered also
to accept a limited oil embargo
— one that would not involve
South Africa. He made clear that
as far as Britain was concerned,
Rhodesia should be the sole tar
get of council action.
As Brown spoke the House of
Commons in London supported
the Labor government’s appeal
to the United Nations. At a row
dy session, the House voted 353
to 244 against conservatives and
some Labor defectors to back the
appeal.

Goldberg quickly annquyj^ed sup-

port of a British resolution sub
mitted to the council by Brown.
Goldberg said it reflected the
U.S. stand for a peaceful solu
tion to the Rhodesian crisis.
The council adjourned after
hearing Brown and will resume
its debate at 11 a.m. Friday.
The resolution called for sel
ective mandatory penalties and
an arms embargo.
In response to demands from
African members of the British
Commonwealth for an oils em
bargo as well, he said: “We
have been consulting very wide
ly, both before and since I came
here, and I appreciate the strong
measure of support that exists
for the inclusion of oil in the
mandatory sanctions.
“If an amendment in this sense
was to be made in acceptable
terms my delegation would not
oppose it.”

At a reception following the
program, Dr. Davis met Jutiapa
Governor Antonio Barrutia, who
tried to give Davis his hat.
“I admired his hat and told
him so,” Davis chuckled. “But
it sat on the top of my head like
a beanie. I wear a size seven
and three-eighth. They just don’t
make hats big enough down
there.”
Dr. Davis collected 300 speci
mens of bats, among them sev
