Zurii Istened toargument in Ihc cas of the two hula dancing lions Monday with the air of a man who hat something else oa his mind. Finally, he sdresied Lonnic Kalanilehua, 31, owner of the lions: "Is this the kind of clothes you wear all the time?" Kalanilehua, i Hawaiian, glanced down at his red kimono, purple sash and sandals. He made no attempt to ace his mop of green-dyed hair. "Yes, judge." Liko Kalanilehua, 29, cousin of Lonnie, dressed in similar garb nodded in agreement. The Kalanilehuas art a night club entertainment team the cousins and the lions, Togar and Kila.that'is. The lions were not in court. Judge Zuris addressed the court clerk. "This case is contin ued until June 19. flsve them come back dressed like every body else. I'm not running a circus in my court," he said. Lonnie Ka 1 a n 1 1 e h u a was charged with displaying a chained wild animal in the pub lic streets. That would be Togar, a 280-pounder, or Kila, who weighs 80 pounds. Mrs. Sybil Vsnderpool, who signed the complaint last night, said she had seen the defendant lead one of the animals from a basement apartment to his auto mobile, all at the risk of life and limb for bypassers in the south side neighborhood. Mrs. Adelyn Smith, another rrighbor of the Kalanilehuas, testified that a window of the basement apartment where the lions have been kept i broken, posing a drngcr to children who like to stand outside the window and ogle the beasts. Before the case was postponed, Lonnie Kalanilehua managed to interpose thst the Hons wouldn't hurt a mouse. They love people, he said, especially night club audiences. "They dance the hula, and even-body knows that hula dancers don't hurt anybody," he said. U.S. Weapons In Korea Slowly Grow Obsolete By JOHN RANDOLPH TOKYO un American military leaders in the Far East fear they ase in effect being slowly dis armed in Korea. They say the weapons of the Allied forces froze, by type under the 19S3 ar mistice are growing obsolete as military science and production sweep ahead. This fear may force the United Nations command to ask for re vision of the armistice agreement. When the armistice was signed July IT. 1953. everyone believed a Korean peace conference would fol low in few months. No one expected the armistice agreement would have to last for three years IK alone indefinitely, as it has good chance of doing now. following the failure of every attempt to arrange a peace confer ence. ' Oaly Replacesneats The armistice provided only for replacing worn or broken weapons. The long-range problem of obsoles cence was not tackled. Today the problem is realized only too well on the U.N. side. Al lied officers cite 'unending reports of a red weapons buildup in North Korea, backed by the evidence of radar tracks, testimony ol regu- gees, and what is considered to be , , Communist sabotage of the inspec tion system. I ' To the best of belief, the Com . munists have actually reduced i their manpower in Korea to a rough equality with the Allied forces there. But intelligence evi dences indicates most of the with drawn troops are massed in Man churia. Intelligence estimates of ' new Communist weapons power in North Korea includes the follow ing: 1. A five-wing, balanced jet air force of from 559 to 500 planes, in cluding both Russian-built Migs and light bombers where there was none before the armistice. Military Airfields 2. Widescale military airfield con struction where none was operat ing before the armistice. t A complete reorganisation, re training and re-equipment of the North Korean Peoples Army little more than a shattered militia at war's end. The situation is ' aggravated by the fact that the U S. Army, and to some extent the Air Force, fought the Korean War with second-hand weapons from World War II. The Air Force's BX is as dated as the nearly forgotten P47. the "Black Widow," and the honorable retired B29. Need Nike The Far East command would like to use the Nike in Korea, where the Red Jets are only three or four minutes from Seoul, Inchon and the Allies' main airfields. But this antiaircraft weapon is forbid den to Korea and air defense is limited to what existed in the Ko rean war. in which hardly one man in a hundred ever heard, or saw, a serious antiaircraft defense. Gen. L. L. Lemnitzer, the Far East .and U.N. commander, says the Allies have shown "scrupulous regard" for the armistice terms. The only way out apparently is to ask the 16 United Nations powers to agree to an armistice revision.

By CONRAD FRANCE Staff Writer. The Staiesmaa If you think life is an uphill struggle, consider the poor lam prey eel. who literally fights his way upstream through jaw-power alone. The limpid lamprey, who mi grates to up-stream spawning grounds from May to July, is even now slithering up the Willamette and into its tributaries. Not a true eel the Pacific lam prey, with his suction like mouth, his slimy appearance and offensive odor, apparently has few friends anywhere. He used to be har vested commercially on the Wil lamette at OreRon City for oil and fertilizer many years ago, but not anymore. The lamprey oozes himself over stream obstructions like rocks and dams by use of his vocuum-cleanrr mouth. Squirming schools of them ran be seen these days in large slippery masses, like a bad dream, moving over the falls at Oregon City. They are on their way from the Ocean to fulfill the elongated des tiny of all lampreys to spawn in fresh water streams and then to die. On this migration they keep tn the muddy bottom in deep water and so are not nften sighted hy the casual observer. Sighted or not. they are known to inhabit the Willamette's tribu taries including the Santiams and the numerous creeks in this area. Salem city water department crews once found a nest of about 100 small lampreys in the Turner reservoir. Ne Takers Naw Adults wriggling up the Wil lamette now are about 18 to 24 inches long and about as big around as a silver dollar. They are listed in the who's who of fish life as "aquatic, vertebrates." which are parasitic in adult form and who reach most of their growth in the ocean. The Oregon Indians used to catch the lampreys and eat them, and use their oil for leather tan ning. Now apparently, not even the Indians, hankers for a mess of lampreys. FLAG SALES SOAR YOKOHAMA, Japan i Ameri can Southerners don't like Japan's textiles but they cater to Masaru Yamaura's goods. He makes (lags. Yamaura happened to turn out some Confederate flags. Bingo, lr.S. sales skyrocketed. Yamaura now makes 140,000 Confederate flags monthly. When the snake-like lamprey has slinked as far upsteam as he (or, in this case, she) wants to go, the small eggs are laid in nests in stream bottoms. The larvae form "ammocoetes" hatch out and live In the mud for several years, grow to the size and shape of a lead pencil and then drift downstream to the ocean. At this stage they become parasitic which means that in addition to providing a source of food for other fish life they in turn become attached, gustatorily speaking, to other watery creatures. Future Caviar , I Lampreys are an important , source of food for sturgeon. Fred I Locke of Portland, chief of lake I and stream management of the ' Oregon fish commission said it has : never been proved that the hipless gliders are seriously harmful to game fishes on the Pacific Coast. "Lampreys, however, are caus ! ing some trouble to trout and some I commercial fish in the Great Lakes," Locke said. What the proposed power dams on Northwest will do to the lam prey's slippery life cycle. Locke is not sure. And what effect a change in the lamprey's living : habits will have on other stream life, also is a slick questiori. So. if you spot a long, rape-like W J7 shadow In a neighboring stream these days, it could be a lamprey, grimly gumming his way up stream.
