Plan Lands Okeh City firemen with the rural pumper stood by about 1:45 p.m. yester day while a Seattle to Los Angeles-bound United Air Lines DC-4 landed at municipal air port. The plane with a pilot, co pilot and two mechanics aboard developed hydraulic trouble in dicating the brake on a landing wheel, would not operate. Fire men said that the airliner land ed without mishap although one wheel was locked and the tire flat. i A trusting nature and lack of alarm when men walked among its herds have brought the seal toperhaps over the brink of extinction. Few, if any, animals are left from herds that once lived on the islands of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. There are only hearsay reports from iishermen that some still sur vive. The International Union for Conservation includes the animal also known as the West Indian seal on its list of mam mals threatened with extinction. DiscoTered by Columbus Slaughter of these seals began when Columbus discovered them on his second voyage in 1494. Near the end of August, he wrote, he anchored off a small island south of Hispaniola. Seamen went ashore and killed "eight sea wolves, which were sleeping on the sand." Other explorers continued the practice. In 1513 Ponce de Leon's men took 14 seals on the Dry Tortugas, a group of islands off Key West, Fla. By the 18th century, demand for lamp oil had made the animals the source of a profit able industry. Caribbean seals, slain by the thousands, were rare by 1851, when the first speci mens came into the hands of scientists. Little is known about the habits of this sluggish seal. It measures about seven and a half feet. The tips of its brown hair are light, giving a gray tinge to the pelt. The brown fades into a pale yollew coat on the belly. Other Seali Hare Come Back Three of the monk seal's rela tives on the West Coast have escaped the threat of extinction. The fur seal, which numbered millions before ruthless hunting nearly exterminated it, is now protected by international treat-. These seals are making a strong comback. Although 60, 000 to 70,000 young males are taken each year under the su pervision of the Fish and Wild life Service, there are now about 1,500,000 seals in the herd. The sea otter, whose fur is even more highly prized, was almost completely killed off by 1900. In remote parts of the Aleutian Islands and along the Alaskan Peninsula, it is increas ing under strict protection. To possess a sea otter pelt without a permit is now 'a violation of Federal law. A third species almost oblit erated by hunters is the elephant seal, a blubbery beast with a snout faintly resembling an elephant's trunk. Larger than the other members of the family, the elephant seal may weigh several tons. It was slaughtered on breeding grounds along the Mexican and Southern Calif ornian coasts for its oil, which is much like whale oil. Believed extinct after the carnage of the late 1800 s the elephant seal now numbers about 6.000 in dividuals, protected by the Mex ican and United States Governments.

No additional charges will be filed against Holden, according to Deputy District Attorney Al lan Holmes, because he said Swi hart received no receipt for the S500 he said he gave the man.
