Negative Awaits Parents Of Young Angler Who is the little boy in the photo? | Mrs. ‘Richard Hohlbein, of Lind- enhurst, N. Y., took the picture while vacationing here recently. She did not take the name of the buy. The negative was sent to The Citizen by Mrs. Hohlbein. She says the boy pictured or his father, a Navy man who was fishing with him, can have the negative. The Citizen will hold the nega- tive for them if they will call at The Citizen office. Mrs, Hohlbein’s letter follows: The Key West Citizen Key West, Fla. “Gentlemen: “I am enclosing a negative of a picture I snapped on one of your beaches several weeks ago, while my husband and I were spending our vacation there. f “We were on the beach and were | watching this little boy and his Dad, who incidentally is a Navy man, stationed down there in Key West, fishing from a small out- board boat right off the beach. We saw the boy struggle to pull in this fish while his little sisters and mother cheered him on from the beach, calling ‘Come on Ronnie, | you cdf do it.” “Getting such a bang out of all tuis, when he finally landed the fish and came ashore, we asked him to pose with the fish he had caught. The fish was still alive and wiggling on the line and the enild had all he cpuld to to hold it. “We thought if you would publish this picture the parents would see it and you could give them the negative. I’m sure they would love to have it and we forgot to get their name or address. “It is certainly true that Key} West is a fisherman’s paradise and we enjoyed our stay there very much, “We are looking forward to an- other vacation down there. “Wishing you all a Merry Christ-| mas and a Happy New Year, I| am “Sincerely “Alma Hohlbein.”” Farm Girl Is Good Will Envoy For Dairy Assn.

Radioactive Roaches Used In Experiment By RENNIE TAYLOR Associated Press Science Reporter BERKELEY, Calif. u—Radio- active cockroaches have demon- strated how the species can invade homes, even passing through water traps in the plumbing, two U. S. Public Health experts reported to- dey. Sewer cockroaches in Phoenix, Ariz., were used in the experiment. |The results showed that the in- sects, which are potential disease carriers, migrate as much as 200 | feet when they become overcrowd- Jed or when forced out of their | colonies by backed-up sewage. The experiment was reported to |the American Association for the Advancement of Science by Wil- liam B. Jackson and Paul P. Maier of the Public Health Service Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta, Ga. The roaches in one sewer man- kole were collected and sprayed | with radioactive phosphorus which | made them traceable with a geiger counter. Then they were put back jinto their hole and then another jcolony of 1,500 roaches was |trapped from a nearby manhole and dumped into the radioactive The second group of roaches was not made radioactive. The idea was to produce over- crowding and see how many of the radioactive insects would leave their own home under such condi- tions. In cold weather the migrating {roaches didn’t go far, but when it warmed up they went off in all directions. They were caught | | stream in the sewer.

Hum- phrey (D-Minn) says Congress should determine whether the fir- ing of a U. S. land reform expert in Japan “is a tip-off of a major change in United States policy” in this field. Humphrey said last night the ouster of Wolf Ladejinsky as U. S. agricultural attache in Tokyo raises a question ‘‘whether or not more is behind this than just a personnel action.” He urged a congressional inves- tgiation, suggesting the action might reflect a policy change “about which we haven’t been in- formed.” The firing of Ladejinsky, a na- tive of Russia closely identified with Gen. Douglas" MacArthur’s land reform program in Japan, was announced last week by Sec- retary of Agriculture Benson. Ladejinsky was removed on se- curity and technical grounds after his file was reviewed when con- trol of his post was shifted from the State to the Agriculture De- partment. ‘ Humphrey, in a statement, cited past United States, support for some land reform programs in the Far East and added: “There has been an apparent reluctance on the part of our gov- ernment to maintain its leader- ship in this field and to do any- thing to implement our announced Policies.” Humphrey said he had asked Benson and Secretary of State Dulles whether Ladejinsky’s fir- ing has policy significance, Ladejinsky, he said, “has been a symbol in Asia of America’s meetings of the Institute have| been held regularly each year from | sis then until the recently concluded Q.

Benson says he may have another post in the Ag- riculture Department if he meets security standards, Ladejinsky, 55, came to the pected when clogged mains pro- duce backed-up sewage, the helth experts said. The insects are cap- able of carrying a variety of dis- ease organisms, the experiment- ers said. ‘Did Our Duty,’ | Laboratory fisheries staff, but un- | fortunate! no definite answer {ean be given since the basic in-} | formation on the amount that can | be raised per acre or the cost of| | production is not available. It seems likely, however, that the low price received for many of | the fish would make raising them \unprofitable, and that one would | have to turn to shrimp, lobster, ete. in order to obtain a reward- ing price for the product. Perhap: shrimp could be raised suc fully, either starting with the young hrimp or from the larval stages, but th questionable. Past experience has indicated that these earlier stages in crustacea are extremely diffi-| cult to raise even under controlled laboratory conditions. If fasic in- if formation on growth rates, cost of per; |feeding, and pounds yield | acre become available, it is pos- sible that the farm of sea food can be profitable.

Are natural sponges plants or animals? Bernard Timpco, Rar- tan, New Jersey. ; A. Sponges are animals which live attached to the bottom of the The bath sponges used in day life are really the skel- s certain sponges taken from warm seas. These particular skeletons are composed of spongin, a fibrous material which retains its elastic properties long after the sponge is dead. Many other ges are useless as bath spon- ges se their skeletons are composed of hard silica or calci- um carbonate or combinations of silicious spicules and spongin, all of which would be rigid and cause | seratching when used. The spicules of some sponges cause painful irri- | tations of the skin when contacted. SPECIAL DEMONSTRATION WHISK -A-WAY A NEW. FASTER AND EASIER METHOD OF CLEANING WILL NOT HARM THE HANDS!
