Quiz Queen Flubs Easy Question Bui .Wins $220,500 New York (UPI) queen Quiz Elfrida von Nardroff failed to answer an esy ques tion Monday night, ending a 21-week ign on the TV quiz show "Twenty-one" that gav her $220,500 in winnings. . Elfrida was dethroned by educator Robert Leicester, 48, but she went back to her Brooklyn apartment with ie most money ever won on a television show. Loses $33,000 Miss Von Nardroff, 33 last Thursday, had reached the total of $253,000 during her tenure on the NBC-TV quiz big $st $33,000 of this amount when she faltered on a question about a Nazi leader. The money she lost went into Leicester's kitty and he continued playing against au thor Stephen Becker of Bed ford Village, N.Y. As the pro gram ended, Leicester was leading Backer', 10-0. Wrong Guess Miss Von Nardroff's defeat came when she was asked to name the Ng:i leader who committed suicide after being sentenced to the gallows -by the Nuremberg war crimes court. She mentioned both Hermann Goering and Joseph Goebbels while tryinf to pick out the answer and finally took a stab at the latter. It was the wrong guess.

By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Amman One of the more common types of fish found in the Jordan is a form of barbel of which there are two kinds, each of them attaining a maximum length of nearly two feet. The chief difference be tween the two is that one has a slight hump just back of t. head. Otherwise, there is little to differentiate them. Though an extremely hardy fish it takes them longest, among the 40 or so different kinds of fish in the river, to die when they enter the Dead Sea, as the Jordan fish oc casionally do it does not put up quite as big a fight as one might expect from its. size. Nonetheless, whoever hooks into one will get sport enough. I cai"ht a 14-inch one the other evening, and it was good fun. We had been using spinners, and I had tried some other artificial lures without any luck, when we decided to try some grasshoppers which we caught in the brush a few feet back from the riv er's edge. The hopper drifted only once around an eddy before the fish took him off the sur face as quietly as one of the larger trout engulfs a fly. According to the Arabs here, whenever there is a horde of locusts that invades the river-bottom, the barbels have a field day. The locuts evidently pay no more atten tion to a river than to any other obstacle. They just pick a quiet place and set out across the water. Bottom Feeder The barbel is a bottom feed er, but it evidently doesn't take him long to discover the locusts when they start crowd ing over the surface. One Arab tells me he has seen them attack the locusts so greedily that their heads popped out of the water con tinually as they fed on the big insects. Most likely every iish of any kind, aware of the locust invasion, swarmed in to get his share of the food. The barbel, incidentally, is very good eating. Despite the warmth of the water and the air, its flesh is firm, solid, and in the one I ate, at least, there was no indication of a muddy taste as with so many bottom feeders.
