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."

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.

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. (Released by The Register and
