On the human level, it Is con-
cerned with two boys, 10 and 6,
who capture, conceal and tame
a mischievous otter with q yora-
cious appetite. But it is equally
"about" a family of foxes, a vii
famous lynx, a household Of
harrassed sandpipers, the mira
Gle of the changing seasons, and
the sum total of flora and fauna
that inject beauty and tragedy
into a country lads days.
AS a perceptive director must,
Mr.. Sucksdorff is acutely aware
that there is q wide swatch Of
comedy to be injected into any
recreation of childhood. He finds
1t here chiefly in the faun-like

Tigers Become
Part Of Trust;
Ford May Bid

DETROIT. Oct. az "a
family trust took over the owner
ship Of the Detroit Tigers today
but It appeared only q matter
of time before the famous Amer
lean League franchise would be
sold outright.
The list Of bidders for the
property now held in trust for
the I'VE children Of the late
Walter o. Briggs is growing
longer. High on the list is
another famous Detroit name.
Henry Ford II.
Still hopeful OF keeping the
Briggs name on the fine stadium
Is Spike Briggs, Walters only
son. But his efforts appear
wrapped In legal red tape.
The ownership change to the
trust fund was one Of many legal
technalities surrounding the
baseball franchise. The Briggs
Commercial and Development
Co., which held the baseball
stock, was dissolved effective
today under the terms Of the
Briggs will. And the stock went
into the trust fund.
One legal question is whether
Spike Briggs can be a proper
bidder for the club since he
not only is a beneficiary Of
the trust but is also one of three
executors Of it.
Briggs, now on the Pacific
Coast on a trip. says he hopes to
make another bid. He organized
q syndicate and offered the de-
velopment company So million
for the club six weeks ago but
was turned down.
II Briggs can't get control, the
field appears to be wide open. In
addition to Ford, the interested
parties are known to be Bill
Veeck. former owner at Cleye-
land and st. Louis: James %.
Norris. the boxing and hockey
operator whose son owns the De-
troit Red Wings hockey team:
and the National Brewing Co. Of
Detroit and Baltimore.

Anyone who has ever tried to
