Uncle Roy's Corner

In the area known as Guiana
sometimes called "the GuianaS'1
we find almost countless form Of
wild life.
The rivers. ponds and lakes swarm
with fish. Besides the fierce little
! piranhas Of which I spoke yester-
day. there are large food fish. Ma
/ tives Of Guiana go hunting for fish
Standing IN boat. with bow and
arrow. native will wait until he
sees a fish, and then will shoot at
it. If he is to hit the mark, he
must allow for the bending Of light
rays. Probably he never has heard
Of such things as light rays" but he
knows that when a fish is seen in
the water Except from directly
above) it is in different place than
1t seems to be.
Ocean fish swim up certain rivers.
and a river fisherman may capture
Sawfish and sharks. The waters of
Guiana also contain a rich supply OF
crabs and other shellfish.
Anigators male their homes in
and around many streams. Far
from the coast are rivers which con-
tain the famous "caymans." The
caymans are alligators Of a special
kind; sometimes they reach a length
of 20 feet.
Many kinds of snakes crawl about
Guiana. Among them are the ven
omous buShmasters. The largest are
anacondas, which grow to a length
OF at least 80 feet. Longer ones
have been reported, ranging, up to
IS feet. These huge snakes kin
their victims by crushing them.
Among the Guiana reptiles are
iguanas. Many natives cook and
eat these big lizards, and say that
the flesh is "as good as chicken"
In the forests are bowling mon
keys. along with opossums, rae
coonS. pumas, jaguars and deer.
Other forms of animal life are ar
madillos, anteaters, sloths and
tapirs.
Furry animals are in special
danger from anacondas when they
go to a river to drink. An anaconda
spends most Of its time under water,
with only the tip Of its head in the
air. At times it attacks such a
fierce animal as the jaguar.
There are times when anacondas
climb into trees to watch for vic.
tins. but more often they wait in
water. Another kind Of crushing
snake. the boa constructor, is the
chief danger to animals which pass
under the branches Of trees.

France Is Shocked
AtU. 5. on Troop Stand
By the Assecioied Press

PARIS, Aug. 18.-The CHIEF
Official spokesman of the French
Foreign ONCE declared today
France is shocked and sorry
over the attitude of top United
States military officials on boil
stering Western Europe with more
troops.
The spokesman was commenting
on a Washington dispatch which
described Defense Department
officialdom as feeling that spe-
cific pledges of more troops for
Europe now would encourage
Communist propaganda" and
tend to spread feeling that Eu-
ropeans can sit back and wait
for the Americans to do the job.
"It is inaccurate, stupid and
most unfortunate" to believe that
either French leaders or French
public opinion would subscribe to
any such feeling, the spokesman
said.
The spokesman then referred to
a Washington statement that
French officials appeared at the
Defense Department to protest an
"affront" in not being included in
q move to standardize British, Ca
madam and United States navies.
This is simply an untruth, -
the spokesman said. mo protests
were made at ALL"

North Korean Losses
In Battles Thus Far
Estimated at $4,000

The Army estimated today that
the North Korean Communists
had suffered $4,000 casualties so
far in the invasion while South
Korean Army losses up to three
weeks ago numbered $1,000.
The spokesman said the figures
were the --latest best estimate"
by intelligence sources. The fig
ures included killed. wounded and
missing in action.
Ten days ago. the Army esti-
mated North Korean casualties
at $500. The estimate today was
the first for South Korean losses.
RoundupS of American losses in
Korea will not be released in the
future until they have no value
to the enemy" the spokesman said.
The last compilation for American
forces showed losses of 2,616 on
August 7. The Defense Depart
ment has continued since then to
issue a daily list of individuals
killed, wounded or missing in
action.
The North Koreans were believed
initially to have had an Army of
between $4,000 and 100000 men
but, like the army's original esti-
mate of the tanks possessed by the
Reds, that official estimate was
soon open to question.
A recent story from Tokyo esti-
mated that there may be 100000
in the North Korean army Of Is
divisions in the battle area. The
spokesman said the Army does
not know what the Reds have in
reserve. He said they were con-
scripting both men and women
on a wholesale basis.
The bulk of the South Korean
casualties occurred in the first two
or three weeks of fighting, the
spokesman said. The Republic of
Korea started with an Army of
10000 officers and men.
The spokesman commented that
the extent of the South Korean
casualties Ought to relieve any
doubts as to whether they have
been fighting hard"
