Mail against treaty floods Washington United Press International WASHINGTON — Mail op posing the Panama Canal treaties is rolling into Senate offices “like somebody’s got a machine cranked up,” Senate aides say. But now, apparently as a result of last week’s presidential treaty signing gala in Washington, pro treaty mail is starting to trickle in. A UPI spot check of 25 Senate offices shows mail continuing overwhelmingly — 100 per cent in one case — against the treaties to cede control of the canal to Panama by the year 2000. But Senate aides who look at the mail say the few letters sup porting the President on the treaties have come in the past week and that much of the anti- treaty mail is the result of an or-, ganized campaign. Postcards with preprinted messages against the treaties have arrived by the hundreds and thousands in most Senate of fices. “They use the same catch words,” said an aide to Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore. “‘Give away’ is to be expected, but they also say ‘tinhorn dictator’ and ‘Castro’s agent”’ in reference to Panamanian leader Omar Tor- rijos, he said. Hatfield’s mail has been 80 pel cent against the treaties. Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., re ported getting 1,600 letters op posing the agreements and no letters in favor. Blacks wi in Detro Two babies born on same bridge in Mississippi Huge rat barbecue helps food problem United Press International NEW ORLEANS — The second baby in as many weeks was born on die Greater New Orleans Bridge spanning the Mississippi River, Sunday. Rosalee Gills and the infant girl were in good conditions Monday after the latest surprise birth. Mrs. Gills said she and her husband were on their way to a west bank hospital when the baby was born with the assistance of a bridge medical tech nician. A baby boy was born two weeks earlier when his mother, on her way to the hospital, was caught in a traf fic jam on an approach ramp to the bridge. United Press International BANGKOK, Thailand — Villagers north of Bangkok killed at least 20, (XX) rats this weekend to protect their fields. Then they cooked and ate the ro dents. “Rats eat our crops so we ll eat them,” said district officer Banasit Salabsaeng. In fact, he said, “Now that meat prices are going up, we should turn to rodents.” Of course, the rats in Pathum Thani, province capital, 18 miles north of Bangkok, are hardly the same as the garbage-eating sewer variety of the big American city. They feed from the bountiful paddy crops of the local peasants. And therein lies the rub. Banasit, an aggressive young civil servant, estimated farmers had lost more than $500,000 to the munch ing rats this year alone. So he or ganized a hunt Saturday and Sun day, with the Saturday night rat barbecue as a main attraction. The hunt began with nets and sticks, but most villagers quickly abandoned those relatively sophisti cated devices. Said one farmer, who claimed to have lost $5,000 in crops to the ro dents: “It’s much better to catch them with hare hands.” Men, women and children joined the hunt, grabbing the rats near their holes and, in most cases, hash ing them to death. The animals were stacked in a pile of about 20,000. One Bangkok newspaper said they were then pi e- pared “in several mouthwatering ways. ’ The most common was simply to lay out the dead rats on a bed of straw, set the straw on fire and allow the flames to bum off the skin and cook the flesh. But some village women served up more elaborate — and traditional — dishes of rat curries or chunks of roasted rat meat and rice. Banasit said he hoped to keep the rat hunts going. Pathum Thani alone has close to half a million rats com peting with farmers for the harvest. pnmarie United Press Intemalioml DETROIT — Mayor Cobs Young and Ernest C. .Brow® victors in the primary for main city whose electorate is evenl) iQ along racial lines, today starldi ing a new chapter in polilid tory.
