WSTAS IN SCIENCE
By THOMAS R. HENRY
Hermit Crabs Overrun Pacific islands

Small. pale hermit crabs
are the most numerous and
conspicuous inhabitants of
some of the war-wrecked
Pacific islands.
They are described in a
report of the Pacific Science
Board Of the National Re-
search Council on Canton Is
land. one of the Phoenix
group. by DR.. Otto Degener
Of the New York Botanical
Gardens and Edwin Gillespy
Of the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
miniStration.
OF all the creatures which
start life in the sea, they
have become best adapted to
continual existence on land,
says the report. Like others
Of their race, they are she'll
less and soft-bodied. Thus.
for protection against en-
emies and against being dried
out by the glaring sun, they
live in houses-the aban-
doned shells of other sea
animals which have been
cast ashore. They carry
their houses on their backs.
When q crab outgrows one
it moves to a larger one.
changing its dwelling four
or i've times during a normal
lifetime.
No Housing Shortage
There never is any housing
shortage for those in the
smaller stages of growth.
Shells of all sorts of creatures
have been washed ashore for
millenniums. In the end, how
ever. lack Of suitable abodes
is catastrophe, according to
the report. The only refuge
for the . crab which has
reached full size is the cats
eye, the shell of a marine
snail as much as 3 inches in
diameter with an opalescent
pink inner lining which glis-
tens like the eye of a cat.
Only the hermits which
can flnd such shells survive.
Even so. says the report. 1.-THE
mature hermit crabs, now red
like boiled Holsters. are nu-
merouS enough to overrun
the island. They are useful
scavengers. cleaning up dead
bird f1edglings from the rock
cries, the shores of dead fish
and Holsters, and the land
in general of all dead animal
matter"
The usefulness of the crea-
lures as housekeepers may,
however, be quite Overhaul
anced by their destructive
ness when an artificial en-
vironment is provided for
them. Since the supply of
carrion certainly is INSULT
cient to keep the hordes of
crustaceans alive. says the
report. they obviously must
feed also on plants. In fact,
those living miles from the
rookeries must be mainly
vegetarians.
They seem to browse among
the vegetation and climb the
trunks and branches of kou
trees-the kou which grows

his horse for pig. With a horse. was broke
and hungry" he explained With pig instead
of horse, l was just broke"
But Utahs victory turned out to be one of
significance, too. The jockey who rode for Manley
also was broke, but not for long. He happened to
be Raymond Sonny Workman, who was winning
the first of many races that in 1857 or 1858 he
is almost certain to be elected to the Jockeys Hall
of Fame at Pmlico Certainly, Washington never
turned out a rider of his merit and probably
will

Sonny says but toward the end Of my IA
years as the contract rider for c. v. Whitney was
battling weight all the time. There a clause
in my contract that had to make lis pounds.
That really meant Ito Ill so to allow for
boots and other equipment
In those days, we didn't have steam rooms
and masseurs, as riders do now. I'd put on long
underwear and a rubber suit on top of 1t and hit
the road. l guess I'd run 10 or IL miles day.
Finally, had to ride at catch-weights True, l
could fit the good horses, but it wasn't very
steady work."
Some of Sonnys closest friends don't know that
he actually born in West Hoboken-the date
was May "A, 19O9-but Workman himself doesn't
remember his earliest days in New Jersey and
stoutly insists he is 100 per cent WaShingtonian.
He only when his father died and Mrs.
Workman and her three sons moved to the

of Engraving and Printing, Sonny and his brothers
were admitted to the ST. JoSeph's Orphan Home.

.Lauds Doctrine

Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther
former NATO commander, says
he believes the Eisenhower Mid
die East program has helped to
combat a dangerous threat to
peace that the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization could not
meet.
Gen Gruenther, now presi-
dent of the American Red Cross,
expressed that view in a TV-
radio interview on NBC--Meet
the Press yesterday.
He was asked whether he did
not consider as a peril to the
west the fact that NATO did not
extend into the Middle East.
Saying it was impractical to

|Nasser Is Cool
To World Court

CAIRO, Mar. II (R.-Presi-
dent NaSser says he is not sure
whether he will abide by any
World Court ruling which would
allow Israeli ships to pass through
the Suez Canal and the Gulf of
Aqaba.
Col. NasSer's views appeared in
a Cairo newspaper even as Israel
announced she would ignore any
World Court decisions on cases
brought up by the Arab states.
Israers official gazette carried
this statement over the sigma
ture of Foreign Minister Meir.
The NasSer interview, which
originally appeared in the Indian
weekly Blitz, conflicted with
earlier reports that Egypt would
be willing to let the international
tribunal decide whether the I'll
ran Strait and Gulf of Aqaba
are international or territorial
waters. Such a ruling would de-
eide Israels right to access to the
South Israeli port of Eilat.
Egyptian officials have said
fatty Israeli shipping will not
be allowed thro lgh the Suez
Canal because Egypt. techni-
cally is still at war with Israel.
The 1888 Suez Canal Conven-
ton permits the country con-
trolline the waterway to close it
to enemies.
Cairo's claim that the Tran
Strait is Egyptian territorial
water may be tested soon.
Reliable sources in Jerusalem
said three American tankers
loaded with crude oil would sail
through the gulf to Eilat in April
A showdown might come if
Egyptian forces have returned to
