"You have 30 and 1 days to
make your peace with God,"
Judge Rossellini told him.'

manded a congressional investiga

to the resignation jot Navy secre

At the same time, some high
navy officers joined Sullivan in
expressing fear that most naval

Senate GOP leader Kenneth S.
,Wherry said the armed services
committee should hear what Sul

issue, wherry said the problem
Is a "major policy question which
should be decided by congi-ess."
May Be Called
Sen. Styles Bridges, N.H., rank
ing republican on the armed serv

the issue. will be brought up at
tomorrow's committee meeting.
He said members had an under
standing that Sullivan would be
called "in view of the conflicting
stories and opinions."
However, Sen. Millard E. Tyd

Sullivan resigned in a huff yes

side at Defense secretary Louis
Johnson for stopping construction
of the navy's widely publicized

Rare Birds, Animals Brought

march he had conducted as head
of a U. S. zoological expedition in
the Himalayan jungle terrain of
Nepal, Dr. Dillon Ripley described
the mission as "very successful."
The tall, youthful-looking Yale
university lecturer in zoology said
the expedition had collected 1,200
bird specimens, 120 specimens of
mammals and several specimens
of mountain fish.
The expedition also shot 12.000
feet of colored movie film deulct-
ing wildlife in these great moun
tain forest reserves and showing
an entirely new view of the
world's tallest mountain, 29,002
feet Mount Everest. Ripley said
he felt this view of Mount Evei-est
would afford mountaineers valu
able information which could be
put to use in the future.
lhe expedition was sponsored
by the-United States National Geo
graphic society, Yale university
and the Smithsonian institution.
and had the official sanction of
the Nepal government.
Natives Employed
Other members of the expedi
tion were Edward Migdalski, How
ard Weaver and Richard Mack.
all of Tale, and Volknar Wentzel
and Francis Leeson, staff photog
raphers of the National Geograph
ic magazine.
The group set out for Calcutta
on the road to Khatmandu (little-
known capital of Nepal) and be
yond, in mid-November. Natives
who were employed on the expedi
tion numbered some 80 persons,
Including 70 coolies, four domestic
servants and two expert Indian
bird skinners.
Working through the lowlands
and sometimes traveling for days
and weeks in bullock carts or on
the backs of elephants, the expe
dition reached points as high as
lu.uoo leet.
Other members or'the expedi
tion had since left for the United
States, but Ripley visited this city
to talk with Sallm All, curator of
the natural history section of the
Prince of Wales museum, Bom
bay. Ripley said he was working
on a book on the birds of India
in collaboration with Ali.
Ripley said he was not able at
this stage to evaluate the "finds"
until he had completed a research
Into the different species.
He told of how they had come
upon the splney (warbler) bird.
He said this was "exciting" from
a scientific point of view. '
The bird had been last found
by an English ornithologist in In
dia some 60 years ago. But that
was the beginning of the end, at
any rate, for 60 years, for the
bird was never seen. again. Simi
larly, they hati searched for speci
mens of birds and small mam
mals believed to be extinct for al
most a century now. .
"Monster" Traced
" deferred to reports from Cal
cutta a year ago which told of
a dinosaur or dodo a monstrous,
scaly-backed creature which was
reported to be causing great dis
tinction and frieghtening tribal
people in the Himalayan foothills
of the Balipara frontier tract,
North Assam -- Dr. Ripley, sur
prisingly, did not pooh-pooh the
story.
He said he had been told all
about it. But he had an explana
tion. He said the tribal people in
that area at that time, in the
course of their seasonal move
from one place to another, were
merely re-telllng a legend of a
thousand years.
Ripley said the strange creature
that had once haunted these Him,
alayan foothills could not be re
garded as a dinosaur for the rea
son that the dinosaur had become
extinct 50,000,000 years ago and
the Himalayan range, geologically
speaking, was only some 2,000.000
years old. But, he added, he
thought it could have been a giant
lizard like the type found on the
island of Komodo, Indonesia.
