ITS PROFITABLE TO Ex-Turncoat Is AtHome With Family KERMIT, Tex. —A soldier and the home town and family he once forsook for quietly getting reacquainted today. Cpl. Claude Batchelor, _ self- described former leader of 21, other American prisoners who chose to stay with the Reds in North Korea, got home yesterday.| He was welcomed by his family at El Paso, where he arrived by) commercial airliner. | How the approximately 6,912) citizens of Kermit will ultimately receive him couldn't be determined right off. The town was quiet Sunday when he drove the family car up to his parents’ frame house that stands alone in its block. This oil and cattle town on the west Texas plains is where Claude, ‘now 23, grew up, where he played cornet in the high school band. Kermit saw him leave as a youth! of 16 to join the Army. Later it) heard he’d turned “Pro.” He set) the town to talking again when, | last New Year’s Eve, he returned to the Allied side, He seemed unworried after his homecoming, He said he was hap-| py, hoped to get out of the Army soon, wanted his Japanese wife in the United States and planned to continue his education. Lounging in white shirt and slacks, he told reporters: \ “Everyone is just as friendly as} they can be.” Then he added, “But I guess I should admit I haven’t| had much chance yet to talk to the folks here in Kermit. Some of my old friends have come around to say ‘hello’ ‘already though.” He said he is not due to report) at Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, for a checkup until Wednesday. } “Right now I want to relax,/ maybe go fishing. And, after} Brooke, I’ll have a 30-day furlough. I hope to spend it here in Kermit.” He said his enlistment has ex- pired and -he expects to be dis- charged quickly and “without a hitch.” He has said he’d been tcld he probably would not be court- martialed for his activities in Communist prison camps. Of his former relationship to communism, he said, “I’ve com- Helly changed my mind about Holiday Skiers Die In Crash Of Cog Train TOULOUSE, France —A cog railway train streaking down a mountain in the French Pyrenees with holiday skiers jumped the tracks and plunged into a 1,500-, foot ravine yesterday. Nine per- sons were killed and 14 injured. The train was 3,700 feet up the mountain on its way from a ski| run to Luchon when it derailed. It was believed the brakes failed. As the train shot off the track and skiddei over rocks to the ravine’s brink, some passengers jumped. They were flung under! the wheels or crushed between the rocks and the sides of the train. The train was the three-rail type for steep grades. The rail’s center track is notched to mesh with a cog wheel on the engine. Reds Comment On McCarthy LONDON (#—The Soviet govern-| ™ment newspaper Izvestia said to-. day developments so far in the row between U.S. Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens and Sen. Mc- Carthy prove the Wisconsin sena- tor “has the full backing of his country’s rulers.” “The latter have need of Mc- Carthy and McCarthy knows this,” said the article, which was quoted by Moscow radio. “That's why he! continues to indulge his wild amusement with their blessing,” He Was Loaded DENTON, Tex. —Lone Star Gas Co. had open house at a new @ffice here. A small boy came in| A host asked, “Won't you have some more punch?” “No,” said the boy, “I'm full.” “Will you have some more cookies?” “No, I’m full of cookies.” “Then, won't you put some cookies in your pocket to take home?” “No,” said the lad, heading out the door, “‘they’re fuil nee | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN communism were} SEA SECRET Q. How does the grunt make a sound? A. Fishes of the grunt family \(Haemulidae) are noted for the ijrasping or grunting sounds they make in their throat when cap- |tured on a hook or otherwise dis- turbed. This is accomplished by means of a pair of movable mus- cles in the throat covered with \small recurved teeth. By rubbing together these pharyngeal teeth, a clearly audible sound is produced. Other sound-making fishes, for ‘in- stance, the croakers (Scianidae) make a muffled booming noise by vibrating the internal airfilled swim |bladder. The reasons for noise-mak- ing in fish is not known. y Q. Is the Portuguese man-of-war, a species of jellyfish? A. No. The Portuguese man-of-war| (Physalia pelagica), is not a true jellyfish, but instead is a large floating colony of many separate) individuals related to the corals. At the top is a large air-filled float {which rests on the sea surface, while the long blue stinging tenta- cles trail downward for many feet. A sting from the Physalia may be quite dangerous since prostra-| tion and difficulty in breathing may accompany the severe pain pro- duced by the microscopic stinging cells, Q. What is the fox shark? (Alopias vulpes) is remarkable in having a tail fully as long as its! body. It is believed that the tail is' used to herd or mass a school of smaller fish so that the fox shark| ten - repeated sailors’ yarn, which appears to have no basis in fact, is that the fox shark and the swordfish will team up for the pur-| Pose of killing a whale, the shark striking the whale with mighty blows of the tail, while the sword- fish delivers the death thrust. Act-| ually, both these fishes normally feed on fishes smaller than them- selves. Q. Which is the correct plural: “Octopuses’”’ or octopi?” A. Actually, both are correct, al-' though modern usage favors “‘oc- topuses” to “‘octopi.”” When speak- ing of the various species of octo-| puses collectively, the scientist terms them ‘“‘octopodes,” which does not overly clarify the issue so far as the layman is concerned. Octopuses vary greatly in size, shape, and habits. Most species live on the sea floor, although a few are free-swimming, and one iagealh Vincaniee argo), builds xquisite white papery shell as a cradle for its eggs, _ French officials that Ee ae Place-Augustin in the pass city makes more noise Niagara Fails, sae LEGAL NOTICES IN THE CIRCUIT SIXTEENTH JUDICIAL or FLORIDA, IN MONROE CounTY.
