 HIMSELF IN BAD

Hollywood, Feb. % = (UP)--TIal Roach, who received his early traiil- ing in paleontology by making cts- tard pie comedies, today received Q mail bag of scholarly insults from college professors to whom he had addressed this inquiry: What kind of 8 voice did the dinosaur have?"
 Those not insulting, were con- fusing, and Roach said he still had no idea whethef 6 dinosaur went "unk," "auk," "eek," or "wowie." The situation was serious. Roach had in production 8 movie about life on this planet 100000 years B. C., complete with dinosaur, ty- rannosaurls, dimetrodon, and tric- eratops. Its big moment was the battle to the death between 6 sav- age tyrannosaurus and Q giant dimetrodon. It was going fine until Elmer Raguse, the sound engineer, said:
 Hey, boss, what kind of noises do these pets maker"
 Roach, who didn't know, sent queries to paleontologists.
