Science Studies Two-Tailed Mouse
PEARL RIVER, N Y - Not
only political parties are split this
year. Evidence of a division in the
animal world is also apparent. But
unlike the election year phenom
enon, the split in this little mouse’s
tail is a very rare thing.
One of the world's largest breed
ers of mice for experimental work
said that in his 22 years of rais
ing 26,000 mice a week, he had
never seen such a specimen. The
double appendage saved this one’s
life, because she was to be used
as a test animal here at Lederle
Laboratories.
One scientist said that instead
of injecting this mouse they would
now attempt to mate her and get
a batch of little “fork-tailers”. He
theorized that maybe they would
be useful in research work that
requires tail injections. “If you
made a mistake on one,” he said,
“you could just try the other tail.”

“Every Cooperation” With
Eisenhower Government
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, (/P) —Senator
Richard Russell, Georgia Demo
crat, pledged today “every pos
sible” cooperation with President
elect Dwight D. Eisenhower in
efforts to achieve world peace.
Russell, who bid unsuccessfully
for the Democratic presidential
nomination and supported Gov.
Adlai Stevenson after the Chi
cago convention, told a reporter
he expects a minimum of politi
cal sniping at the new Republican
president.
“My disposition is to try to help
General Eisenhower in every pos
sible way,” Russell said. “Our
big objective now is world peace
and times are too perilous to in
dulge in partisanship tor the sake
of partisanship. I think that’s the
general disposition throughout the
country.”
Senator Earle C. Clements of
Kentucky, who headed the Demo
cratic senatorial campaign com
mittee, said in a statement^ Demo
crats “must give the people not
the petty, carping criticisms of the
Republicans during the last 20
years.”
“We need to present sensible,
realistic and constructive alter
natives when the party in power
fails in its duty to our country,”
he declared.
Russell spoke as the generally
acknowledged leader of the
Southern Democrat bloc in the
Senate.
Sen. Herman Welker, Idaho Re
publican, predicted in a separate
interview that Southern Demo
crats will help push Eisenhower’s
legislative program through Con
gress.
