Would Be Considered"

Washington, Mar. 22.

The Chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs-of-Staff, Admiral Arthur Radford, said today if France asked for more B-26 bombers for Indo-China their request would certainly be con- sidered.

Admiral Radford and French General· Paul Ely were talking to the Press after a 30-minute session they had with President Dwight Eisen- hower at the White House.

General Ely said he had not come to Washington to discuss in detail the programme of American aid to Indo-China but to have an exchange of views on the Indo-Chinese question with Admiral Radford. He

Crops Destroyed By Rats

Natives Forced To Live On Poisonous Plants

Manila, Mar. 22.

Yams, narcotic betel nuts and bleached poison roots was the starvation diet today for the primi- tive mountain people in Cotabato Province whose meagre crops have been destroyed by rats.

Of all the people to be hit by the rat scourge in the largest province of Mindanao Island the "Belaans" have suffered the most. The simple hill people, original Malayan occupants of Min- danao Island and later slaves of the Moro (Moslem) invaders, lead a semi-nomadic agricul- tural existence in the mountains. Their small plots of rice and corn in the lower slopes of the mountains were ravaged last Autumn by waves of rats rose from the Liguasan marshes.
