James Hagerty. : . "' - Strangeist of World's Strange Animals Live in Octopus Kidney Br DELOS SMITH ; United Press Science Editor . New York-ljflJ.R) Ohe of the strangest of all the world's, strange animals is the dicyemid. It lives in the kidney- of the actopus. And it gives birth to its own grandchildren. Dr. Mayard McConnaughey and his wife, Evelyn, who are among the foremost authorities, called the attention of science to the dicyemid today because they're stuck in their studies on a particular point. How does a dicyemid get from one octopus to another? You rarely if ever will find an acto pus without a nation of dlcye mids flourishing in its kidney, but how in the world do the tiny creatures -manage it? "' : - Largest Are Small The largest dicyemid won't be more than 10 millimeters long, which is a little less than four tenths of an inch. The smallest is less than one half of a mili meter. They have no organs, no nervous system, no stomach, no muscles. They're worms and Just about the most lowly. They squeeze their young Into the octopus kidney from any pore of their bodies. The pore closes Instantly. There is no sign any thing happened. Two Kinds of Young Their young are of two kinds. The first kind is like the par ent, only smaller. It rams one of its ends into the wall of the actopus' kidney and stays there. All that happens is that it grows and soon starts squeezing forth young of its own. Thus, the na tion grows. This kind you'll find in young octbpi. The other kind looks more like a single cell .creature than a multi-cell animal, which is the dicyemid. At birth they leave the kidney at once and swim freely In the ocean. This kind you'll t SIAVEl sMllES ISA. r-jSr5" During spring I fr l ' training a few sea f ja, B sons back, two big league baseball , teams scheduled , exhibition games .in a Mexican city, and arrived there ' In chartered Greyhound coaches. The people, gathered on the side walks, waved and threw flow ers at the buses. "Listen to them holler," said one of the managers. We'll have a sellout sure'" "Pardon, Senors," said their Mexican host, "but it is not the pelota players they are cheering. Thees is the forst time they have seen a Greyhound bos!' ' Travelers who take their first ride by Greyhound are enthusi astic, too, not only because of the low cost, but because they are so close to everything the people, towns, cities and coun tryside. It's really fun by Grey hound, and free trip planning service makes it even more pleasant. Your hotel rooms will be reserved and sightseeing ar ranged at stopover points, if de sired, at no extra charge. Or you can save time and ride straight thru by Greyhound Express, without change of bus or baggage.

These features make Grey hound travel ideal for fall va cation travel, too, and one can choose from hundreds of expense-paid tours to national parks, the historic East, Alaska, Can ada, Mexico, the Caribbean and countless other places.

This is Merry Miles saying, "I'll be seeing you. and you'll be seeing America- best by Greyhound! ' - . i u (paid adv.) find in old octopi Sometimes only this kind; other times, mixed with .the other kind. ' The McConnaugheys produced evidence that as an octopus gets older and older, the dicyemids in its kidney get wind that their world isn't going to last forever and they'll have to start moving on if dicyemids are to survive through eternity. They thought that the new hor mones which an octopus releases when it becomes mature sexually might be the kind that changes the dicyemid offspring from one kind to tne other, ur it might be something else. But the strangest thing was that they had observed baby dicyemids swim ming about in sea water with baby, octopi , within easy .reach. The baby dicyemid , didn't make for the octopi and it seemed clear that they must live inside some other animal in order to develop enough to estab lish themselves in the kidney of a new octopus. This is. the $64 question the missing link of the life cycle which the Mc Connaugheys set forth in the scientific monthly, a publication of the American Association for the Advancement of science. Nothing To Do With Sex Sex has nothing to do with the kind of offspring that looks like the parent. The production of the second kind is sexual but, the McConnaugheys said, it is "highly complicated"! and "In direct." When the dicyemid reaches the time of life to pro duce the second kind, the germ cells in its central cell' either mi grate to the -exterior cells or disintegrate. "A few lucky ones escape this fate," the McConnaugheys said Each of these gives rise to a pe culiar and very small individual which lives its, entire life in the central cell of its parent. Some of this child's, cells become egg cells?' some become sperm cells which fertilize the egg cells, Thus, the grandchild develops and is born, not by its parent but by its grandparent. Salem (U.R) John B. Woods Jr., assistant state forester, has submitted his resignation to Slate Forester George Spaur, ef fective Nov. 1.
