WotM riiii Twrw"al i CARDINAL PRAISES TV Paris - (UPD - Maurice Car dinal Feltin, archbishop of Paris, praised television Sun day for its power to keep families home at night. In a special Mass in Norte Dame cathedral, the cardinal said "this little screen keeps many to the family hearth who would otherwise be tempted to look for distractions out side the home." idea that pops up occasionally involving the President and television. That is the sugges tion that Congress should pass some sort of law re quiring the networks to yield time to the President for live broadcasts whenever the White House makes such a request Hagerty recently told TV Guide Magazine, "Personally, I would hate to see such a law. We don't need one; I've : never been refused time by the networks yet. This is a free country and we ought to have free communications." Small Worlds fJ Around Us rt By Lynn M. Watkins Bock Stairs: Speaking While Standing By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter Washington (LTD Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower has a theory that talking while standing tends to make a speaker husky of voice more than the same amount of con versation sitting down. When he finished his State of the Union Message to Con gress last Friday, he told House Speaker Sam Rayburn: . "Talking while I'm on my feet a long time makes my voice husky." That is what he was saying to Rayburn as television view ers from coast to coast saw the President, at the conclu sion of his address, turn to Rayburn and gesture toward his own throat. Telerised Meetings Leo. A. Hoegh, the director of defense and civil mobiliza tion, says he thinks the Pres ident should arrange for tele vised Cabinet meetings to show his leadership in action. Hoegh may not remember, but this has been tried by the Eisenhower administra tion. A pre-arranged type of panel discussion between the President and some of his Cabinet has - attracted favor able response and may be tried again by the White House this spring. Televising a genuine Cab inet meeting simply would not work. Hoegh thinks it would be a wonderful idea, but what would others think if the cam eras showed the President wouldn't stand for this sort of camera exposure. He refuses to be photo graphed in church. Rather Dull Far Unless there was some stag ing and pre-planning, a Cab inet meeting might prove to be a rather dull TV fare. A simulated Cabinet meeting might be attempted; a real one, never. Too many secrets are disclosed in Cabinet; too many official family differ ences are aired. Press Secretary Jim Hag erty is dead set against an PLUS v silver mam stamps W to U Li THE "WATER TIGER" HAS A HIDEOUS WEAPON No more hideous brew was ever concocted in a witch's caldron, or in the laboratory of a maniac, than the fluid in jected into a living body by the larva of a common aquat ic insect. A fluid so insidious that it liquefies the organs and con tents of the victim's body in a manner of minutes, leaving the skin more than a sack containing a fluid that was, but a moment before, the functioning of a living body. This macabre accomplish ment is the usual order of food procurement by the lar va of the common predaceous water beetle, a creature of fresh water ponds and rivers, and distributed throughout a great part of the United States. The larva, known as dytiscus, is about an inch and a half in overall length, com monly called, and for very ob vious reasons, "water tiger." ' It's a cunning little mons ter, with six legs, some of which are fringed with hairs to make swimming easy, and wide, flat head equipped with powerful, pincer - like jaws, and a vicious and ghastly ap petite, demanding only liquid food. ... Lies in Ambush This little demond lies in ambush on the stem of a wa ter plant: besidea stone on the pond bottom or hidden in a dark, underwater crevice, waiting for some insect, small fish or tadpole. When the in tended victim is close enough the beetle-larva springs, like a jungle beast, attacking the prey from underneath. The powerful jaws close, penetrat ing the victim's skin. Immedi ately the forcep-like pinchers break through and a deadly digestive juice is injected through tiny channels in the jaws. This fluid dissolves the body contents. During this time the larva holds tight, waiting for the chemical to work. It doesn't take long; the victim's organs change rapid ly to a thick liquid. Then the liquid is pumped back, through the hollow, syringe like jaws and into the "water tiger's" stomach. Once the larva has sucked the body dry, it drops what has become a dry husk from the cruel jaws -the Dytiscus has completed its horrible meal. Becomes Beetle After many days of grue some feasting the larva changes into a flat, dark col ored shiny beetle, which will swim in the waters of the pond, head down, seeking insect-prey, which it will eat as a solid; only the larva form seems to demand liquid food. The beetle, now called the predaceous beetle can fly, and is often found around street lights. Probably nature in tended the wings to be used when pressure from an ex panding population made a move necessary from the home pond to some other less crowded location. The eggs are inserted in the tissues of a plant stem, under water. Later the eggs hatch out to become "water-tigers." If tadpoles, small fish or other insects are not in plen tiful supply, the larva will at tack one another, even eating their own brothers and sis ters.
