 Margaret MaGee, c reporter, jumped back. So did everyone else.
 The froggy voice from Mix throat called the names of the other re. porters present.
 Mix claimed that a childhood at- tack of infantile paralysis at Mason City, ra., left him without the tise of his vocal chords. One day when he was seven, he put Q frog in his mouth. The little ainphibiafi be- gan to sing. Mix found that by moving his tongue, he could make sounds that resembled words.
 Frogs Last Year and Half Before long, he claimed. he could talk like anybody-with a frog in his throat.
 He said 1t took three months to train a frog, and the little fellow was only good for about a year and a half. That makes the turnover pretty rapid.

 He put his frog fin his pocket and grinned at reporters questions.
