Generally (jmong swift-moving

But animals living on soft
ground such as sand (gazelle),

and develop a wide. long, snow-shoe-type
foot. Those on rocky
terrain evolve skidnroof feet.
Sand dwellers have developed
comparatively wide feet, usually
extended even farther by stiff
hair, so that they can move

Miller, Marilyn
Have Ho Comment
On His Conviction
Washington 1P Playwright
Arthur Miller and his actress
wife, Marilyn Monroe, celebrat
ed her 31st birthday Saturday
in seclusion with "no comment"
on his contempt of Congress
conviction.
The Pultizer Prize winner, free
on $1,000 bail, and his blonde
wife left their New York home
Friday by car. A few hours
earlier Federal Judge Charles
F. McLaughlin here found Mill
er guilty on two counts of con
tempt for refusing to identify
persons at a 1947 Communist
writers meeting.
"I will have no comment at
this time and neither will my
wife," Miller said after hearing
the judge's verdict.
Sentence Delayed
Miller may not be sentenced
for two or three weeks or longer
while McLaughlin awaits recepit
of the usual pre-sentencing re
port from the probation office.
In that time, the case might be
complicated by a Supreme Court
ruling on a similar case involv
ing Illinois Labor Leader John
T. Watkins. The high courst is
expected to hand down a de
cision on the Watkins case be
fore the close of its current
term expected in mid-June.
McLaughlin cited an appeals
court ruling in the Watkins case
in his 15-page decision. It said
the fact that an inquiry "may
reval "something or 'expose'
something (one's friends) is in
cidental and without effect upon
the validity of the inquiry."
"However commendable" Mill
er's motives were in refusing to
inform on his associates, that
had no bearing on the legal
points of the case, McLaughlin
said.
Americans Feared
Held by Hungary
Vienna Austrian authori
ties report two American stu
dents who disappeared while
taking a tourists' peek at the
heavily-fortified Austro-Hungari-an
border were feared kidnaped
by Hungary's Communist police.
Austrian police identified them
as Myron A. Gilbert, 20, and
Warren William Hair, 20. Their
home towns were not known im
mediately and the U.S. Embassy
had not yet been officially noti
fied of their disappearance.
An official attached to the
state police in Burgenland Prov
ince bordering Hungary said the
two Americans had been miss
ing since Sunday.0He said police
were notified of the disappear
ance by an Austrian girl tenta
tively identified as Buy de
Peron.
They quoted her as saying Gil
bert told her to go to the police
and to the U.S. Embassy if they
failed to return from their visit
to the border.
