CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE GREEN TREE FROG

The Green Tree Frog must
be well known. 1t bears so many
common names. Bell frog, fried
bacon frog, cowbell frog, marsh
tree frog are few of the more
descriptive of these common
names. Of course some of these
common names are applied to
some other kinds of frogs.
The Green Tree Frog is found
near the edges of fresh water
ways on water plants, bushes,
cver-hanging trees or vines.
Some of its relatives will stray
farther from water than will the
Green Tree Frog. Usually this
species is found close to the
water level rather than high
above it. Rats of water hya-
cinth or stands of pickerel weed
provide superior type of vege
tation to meet the needs of this
frog.
Mature Green Tree Frogs
reach a length of from 11a to
2h2 inches with the females be-
ing definitely larger than the
males. The male is dark olive
above with some orange spots
scattered over the back. 1t is
lighter on the side and there is
a cream-colored streak which
runs lengthwise of the side al
most to the hind legs. The
throat is green just under the
mouth and the chin is cream
colored. Lower on the throat is
a pinkish area that marks the
wrinkled throat proper. The fe-
male lacks the pinkish chin of
the male, the undersides from
the groin to the chin being
more Or less uniformly cream
colored.
All sorts of interpretations
have been made to represent
the call of the Green Tree Frog.
Some say that the frog says
fried bacon" repeatedly. Others
claim that the words grab,
grab, grabit, grabit' better re-
present the sound. Still others
claim that it is a simple repeat
ed "quonk" closing with a
''quank'. At a distance a chorus
of the frogs sounds much like
a cowbell.
The sounds are produced by
the males alone. They come to
the breeding grounds or show a
wish to reproduce before the fe-
males do. Breeding usually
takes place between mid-Aprii
and mid-August. The eggs float
in small films or clusters US
ually attached near the water
surface to some support.
The eggs are black or brown
and white or cream. The tad
pole that develops from the egg
is of no extraordinary size,
reaching a maximum of about
l Il inches in length. The tail is
long and drawn out in the tad
pole. The body is green with
yelloWish or ivory stripe down
the side of the head. After a

determination of the fate of war
prisoners refusing to return to Red

At today's 53-minute meeting, the
U.N. Command said an eight-point
Communist proposal for prisoner
exchange still left the threat of
indefinite captivity hanging over
48.500 North Korean and Chinese
Reds.
1t. Gen. William X. Harrison Jr.,
senior U.N. delegate, said there
was no guarantee that political
conference could settle the prisoner
question as the Communists urged.
After the meeting had adjourned
until IL am. Tuesday, Harrison
stood in a driving rain outside the
crude conference hut and told cor
respondents that of the barrage of

He recalled they had said a ma

among the five neutrals proposed
by the Communists as custodians
of prisoners refusing to return

The Communists have proposed
that a five-nation commission SUI
peryise such prisoners for four
months. After that period-and af-

He prefaced the statement with:
"Our side does not acknowledge at
all that there are prisoners who
illogically refuse repatriation"
Nam Il said that continued Allied
questioning Of the Communist pro-
posals was delaying the armistice
negotiations. He added that details
"can easily be decided upon
through consultation"

delegates with failure to explain
satisfactorily their eight-point plan.
