Honeybees Don't
Need Dictator
Riverside, Calif. (U.R When
it comes to-regimented societies,
no hard-working dictator has yet
touched the honeybee.
Dr. Stanlev E. Flanders, nro-
fessor of biological control at the
university of California s citrus
experiment station here, said the
bees' - society is so comrjletelv
regimented it doesn't even need
dictator. -Everything
is automatic.
The social organization nf
bees, Dr. Flanders said, is built
on a complex system of reflexes,.
and year after year each brood
of bees regulates ihe sex of the
following brood.
Even the aueen bee. desnite
her vaunted reputation, is noth
ing more than an egg-laying ma
chine.
Whether her eees will become
male or female, bees is a matter
of Hydrostatic pressure within
the queen, Dr. Flanders said.
She moves along over the wax
cells built by the worker bee
colony, depositing eggs as she
goes, a function she can perform
off and on for about four years.
If the wax cell in which sh
lays an egg is worker bee size,
sne lays a fertilized egg. If it is
one of the larger, drone size,
sne lays on unfertilized egg,
which becomes a male, or drone.
She also drops fertilized eggs
into the small number of extra
large, queen-size cells and they
hatch into aueens simnlv hprmw
they are fed more and grow big

Puerto Rico Resting Place
Of Famed Spanish Explorer
By Matthew T. Kenny
United Press Staff Correspond.
San Juan, P.R. U.P.) The
remains of Juan Ponce de Leon,
famed Spanish explorer who
died in Havana, Cuba, 431 years
ago this month, rests here in the
Cathedral of St. John the Bap
tist. .
Although he perhaps is best
remembered to the world for
the discovery of Florida and his
efforts to find a "fountain of
youth" there, Ponce de Leon's
name is linked intimately with
this island.
He was with Columbus when
the admiral of Spain discovered
Puerto Rico on Nov. 19, 1493.
After some ten years in nearby
Santo Domingo, Ponce de Leon
was sent to conquer Puerto Rico
and look for gold.
In 1508 he established the
first Christian settlement here
named Caparra at a point
across from what is now San
Juan. In 1519 he became the is
land's first governor.
Buried in San Juan
Some history students find
considerable . irony in the fact
that Ponce de Leon's final rest
ing place is in San Juan where
he refused to live rather
than in Caparra. '
During his residence in
Puerto Rico, Ponce de Leon was
involved in several stormy is
sues, including his right to be
governor. The most persistent
conflict and one on which
Ponce de Leon was ultimately
outvoted concerned the loca
tion of the capital.
His selection of the Caparra
site apparently was unpopular
from the beginning. Ponce de
Leon was adamant and built a
strong and imposing stone house
for his family as evidence that
he intended to stay in Caparra.
Despite their leader's example
other settlers constructed less
permanent dwellings of wood
and mud, presumably in the be
lief they eventually would be
moving.
Referendum Wins
As the controversy continued
over the years, Ponce de LeonJ
1 A. -1. A - -
royal order forbidding transfer
of the settlement. In 1519 Span
ish authorities approved the
move to San Juan after a ref
erendum possibly the first
in the New World was held
among the settlers.
According to recent discover
ies by historians of the U.S. Na
tional Park Service, Ponce de
Leon cast the only vote in favor
of Caparra. Despite his over
whelming defeat on the issue,
he never lived in San Juan

a lengendary land called "Bim
ini," he had discovered Florida
but the marvelous fountain with
the youth-giving waters could
not be found.
.Nevertheless, Ponce de Leon
was named governor of Florida
by King Ferdinand, who also
conferred other titles and hon
ors on him during Ponce's visit
to Spain in 1514.
Back to Florida
Back in Puerto Rico in 1515,
he found himself in the middle
of various controversies includ
ing growing opposition to the
Caparra site.
The final ruling in favor of a
move to San Juan possibly play
ed an important part in Ponce
de Leon's decision to undertake
a new expedition to Florida in
1521. He was badly wounded in
a battle with - Florida Indians
and was taken to Havana, where
he died in June of that year.
He was buried in Havana but
in 1559 his grandson brought
his remains to San Juan. They
were transferred to the cathe
dral in 1909. ' .
The ruins of Ponce de Leon's
house can still be seen in Cap
arra. Authorities have considered
transferring his remains - to the
Caparra he loved so well the
conquistador's five-century - old
bones might rest more peaceful
ly there. But so far nothing has
been done about it.
