AUER RE LANL i) BA Dreams Of Farming Under The Sea Capt. Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the world's greatest undersea ex- plorer, was high and dry one morning recently in a room on the sixth floor of a New York hotel. A glass on the breakfast. table held the nearest water, but as always the restlessly imagina- tive Gallic mind was swimming among a dozen aquatic ideas. His newest, grandest dream: Building an underwater animal farm. He got the idea from un- dersea work as a French naval officer, and the Monaco Oceano- graphic Museum, which Cous- teau serves as director, is back- ing it. "A ship might sink in the most deserted part of the ocean," Cousteau explained, "but one year later, the wreck is teeming with sea life." Cousteau's con- clusion: There is a tremendous amount of life in the sea that could be systematically farmed it only shelter were provided so that the sea animals could con- gregate and proliferate in cco- nomic numbers. Working on this theory, Cous- teau and his colleagues are building a "baitron" -- a con- crete slab "apartment house" 'whose different levels could lure varying forms of sea life. On one level, for example, there are convoluted pipes for eels; on an- Blouse Bonanza PRINTED PATTERN neo. 3%. 252 / RA Sew-Easy blouse wardrobe -- smart with skirts or slacks!

Thanks to Prince Rainier, a 3- mile sweep of sea front directly below the Monaco museum has been set aside exclusively for Cousteau's biatrons. His High- ness is a Cousteau friend as well as a Cousteau supporter -- one of the hundreds who help keep the multifarious Cousteau activi- ties afloat. For the last three weeks, for example, Cousteau has been speaking before U.S. underwate: sportsmen clubs in his capacity as president of the World Under- water Confederation -- a fitting honor for the man who gave millions freedom in the seas through the co-invention of the Aqua-lung, the wet-suit, and the underwater scooter. In New York, he planned to confer with American engineers on his "X-. boat," a radically new (and still secret) ship being built at the Cousteau-founded French Un- derseas Research Center in Mar- seilles. Then, he would report on the latest cruise of his re- search ship, the Calypso, to the annual meeting of the Woods Hole (Mass.) Oceanographic In- stitution, before flying to Paris to look in on Associated Sharks, his 'film company. From Paris, he would fly to his "land" home in Monaco. Had the underwater explorer turned land-locked entrepre- neur? Not at all. When the Calypso lowered Cousteau's caucerlike submarine, affection- ately dubbed Denise (in honor of Mrs. Cousteou), into the Mediter- ranean off Corsica for its first 1,000-foot dive last month, the captain was one of the two-man crew aboard. At the age of 50, he dives with the best and brashest of the younger men. But to be a great explorer these days requires more than cool grace under high pressure: The ex- plorer must also be an adept publicist, skilled at raising money to support his schemes. In Cousteau's case, support has come from a variety of sources. The National Geographic Society and the French Ministry of Na- tional Education have sponsored Calypso cruises. Sales of his best-selling "The Silent World" and revenues from the film of the same name have helped. So have the admission fees of 700,- 000 annual visitors to the Monaco museum, a massive granite pile cn a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean. Bu' these reve- nues are not adequate for the bold new biatron village which may cost as much as $250,000. "Our purpose is strictly ex- perimental," Cousteau explained. "We want" to see what materials and what conditions produce what results. Later, some of our houses will be made of plastic, others of metal. Some will be sunk at 100 feet, others up to 400 feet. Some 'avenues' between the houses will be illuminated; others will have pipes for dis- tributing chemicals, "If there is a short cut in the tedious chain of life in the sea we want to find it. On land, the pig and the cow are most effi- cient meat makers. Corn plus water equals a porker. Grass plus water equals a beefsteak. "We're looking for the pig of the sea." -- From NEWSWEEK. Q. When two girls are walk- ing together and meet a bay who is a friend of one of the girls and he stops to talk, does the other girl stand by while they converse or does she walk on slowly? A. She should walk on slowly until her friend rejoins. her -- unless, of course, her friend holds her and introduces her to the boy. o= i MENTAL BLOCK OVERCOME -- Alice Marie Combs, 4, (centre), the little girl with the big Intelligence Quotient (138 1.Q.) will be adopted by the only parents she has ever known, Mr. and Mrs, Richard Combs, following a change in a State Child Get Their Laughs All Ready-Made We were among those whose favorable reactions were spon- taneous and unrehearsed, live and direct, when the television networks announced, a while back, that henceforth they were swearing off even the little bitty kinds of deceit. We got a clearer, if not neces- sarily impressive, picture of what that meant when, after certain shows, we began to hear announcements telling us that the programs had been pre-re- corded and that applause and laughter had been dubbed in. Although we admired the can- dor, we wondered if the honesty drive wouldn't have been better served if the laughter and ap- plause had been left out instead of branded as fake. Now the campaign has gone a step farther. The other night, after an alleged comedy show, it was announced that the show had been "taped before a live audience with reaction techni- cally augmented." What device or devices were used to augment the reactions of the live, but taped, audience, we do not know. But our unaugmented re- action is that even the dubbed- in enthusiasm of a non-existent audience is to be preferred to the somehow hypoed enjoyment of live people who evidently didn't like the comedy enough to do what ought to come natu- rally.--Denver Post.

Yet recently as Rose ar- rived in Jerusalem to superin- tend preparations for the 5-acre outdoor museum he is giving to Israel, he was confronted by black-bearded Beniamin Mintz, the Rodinesque deputy speaker of the Knesset (Parliament), who insisted that outdoor statu- ary would be utterly sacri- legious. Undaunted, Billy cited a learn- ed interpretation of Leviticus 26:1. "On the floor of your tem- ple, you may place graven im- ages and statues so long as you do not bow down to them." Taken aback by Billy's scholarship (courtesy of a bevy of Talmudic scholars who sup- port the Rbse museum), the dep- uty speaker retreated. It turned cut that the Deputy Director of Israel's Religious Affairs har "graven images" in his own home. But in accordance with Hebrew custom, he had avoided sacrilege by breaking bits off their faces. "Nobody's gonna bust up my Rodins or Maillols," re- torted Billy, "without busting my face first." 1. Israel's rabbinate finally came up with a -Solomon-like com- promise: Its members would not visit Billy's collection -- so what they did not see, they would not officially condemn, Billy also reached. his own compromise with Mintz: The objective works will be placed indoors, and the abstracts in the new garden.

TGiNGER FARM endoline P. Clarke Well, at least I am in good company. Or am I -- that's a de- batable point? Anyway Mr. Khrushchev and I have one thing in common . . . we are both re- covering from "!lu", And if com- plications for you, Mr. Khrush- chev, were the same as they were for me you would not be doing too much talking for a change. How was your tongue, Mr. K.? After the fever had left me my tongue was so red, swol- len, dry and cracked I was in absolute misery. You may re- member, Mr. K. that if you touch frozen metal with wet fin- gers they stick together. In just that way after falling asleep I would wake up to find my tongue sticking to the roof of my mouth. So, like you, Mr. K., I had to cancel several engagements. There was a pot-luck luncheon at one Institute meeting and a grandmother's meeting at an- other, both of which I had prom- ised to attend. But how could I address a meeting with a swol- len tongue? Or do justice to a pot-luck luncheon when every morsel of food I took, instead of being chewed, would have to be rolled around id my mouth ana then swallowed. Such a con- dition, to say the least, would make it impossible for remarks to fall with their usual fluency from the tip of onc's tongue. However, one would have more time to think and perhaps be a little more cautious in saying what one might otherwise have said without too much consider- ation. And that, I think, applies to you, Mr, Khrushchev, more than it does to me. Well, so much for that. And now, barring unforeseen compli- cations, Mr. K., it looks as if you and I might both be around for a little while yet to use our influence, good or bad, on a long-suffering public, But I have a problem -- and it might well be that Mr. K. and 1 again have something in com- mon. My doctor says -- "Take off some weight -- you must be eating too much!" Well, now before you get the idea I have the proportions of a porpoise let me say that I am 5 ft. 7 and weigh 150 Ibs, I don't like cakes or pastries, hardly ever eat dessert at dinner, don't go in for snacks between meals or at bedtime. Always drink skim milk and have lots of cot- tage cheese; have very little fried food, so where can I cut down? SALLY'S SALLIES At home, and away from home, people laugh because I eat so little. "What do you live on?" they ask. And yet I must admis the bulge amidships is definitely there. I am not allowed strenu- ous exercise so I can't help my- self that way. Incidentally I don't drink -- other than tea and coffee. So where do I be- gin? Anybody any suggestions? Can someone tell me how to take off ten pounds? I am not really very interested in food so it should be easy -- and yet it isn't. Oh well . .. What comes next, I wonder?

I was wandering around the house in the small hours and knew it must be taking place by the queer light but the moon was riding too high in the sky for me to see it from any of our windows, mainly because of the metal awnings, At zero I certainly wasn't going outside to do any moon-gazing. I thought the moon could go into cclipse and out of it without any assist- ance from me -- which it did. But Taffy didn't like it at all Several times he started barking and I noticed rabbits scuttering across the snow as if wondering what it was all about. And now the weather! Of course everyone is talking about the weather . . . such a long, cold winter and no let-up in sight. Apparently the last month has established some kind of a record -- never once rising above 32 degrees. 1 have just looked up last year's columns, written in March and at that time we were battling floods, following a sudden thaw, That is something that may be in store for us again before too long -- and then we may wish for the snow back again. Once we get a change in the weather there will sure be plenty of water around here, maybe some flood- ed basements. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. This time last year we had Ross staying here while his baby brother - was getting himself born. Now Ross is three years old and Cedric has just celebrat- ed his first birthday. So many milestones come along each year in a growing family, Dee is fed up with the winter -- says all she does is put on and take off snowsuits and overshoes. Oh well, the winter can't last for ever. More birds around every day; sun warm and bright. Some- time a wind will blow from the south and father will be ditches . instead of shovelling snow. If you feel downhearted think what's happening in other arts of the world, We are cky -- if we'd only stop to realize it. " alternoon Strange Voyages Scrubbed and polished until every brass rail shone, the US. heavy cruiser Northamptom steamed through the Baltic ons recently, its prow cleaving a passage through the thickening ice. Aboard were 1,200 officers and men togged out ia their best: blue winter uniforms in preparation for the civic re- ception that awaited them at Stockholm. Alas, 25 miles from the Swed- ish capital, the Northampton got stuck in the ice. And instead of the Americans going ashore te meet their hosts, the Swedes -- by the hundreds -- donned ice skates and skis and sped across the ice to greet the embarrassed cruiser. "HII, WELCOME TO SWEDEN," the Swedes sprawl- ed on the ice. Capt." Harold G. Bowen Jr, the Northampton's skipper, promptly offered them coffee and cakes. Across the Bal- tic, another ship, the German freighter August Peters, was get- ting a very different reception. The North German city of Kiel had forced it to move to the most remote anchorage available, and as it finally steamed away, flying the red flag of danger, Germans sighed with relief. The reason: The August Peters car- ried a load of 28,000 shells of the deadly gas called "tabun," devel- oped by the Nazis and capable of wiping out whole cities in a mat- ter of minutes. A stockpile of ta- bun: shells fell into the hands of the British at the end of World War II, .and was dumped into the Baltic. Recently, it occurred to Kiel authorities that the rust- ing of shell cases might releasa some of the gas, and even set off a chain-reaction explosion of the whole lot. Hastily, they hauled up the shells, then encased them in heavy cement-coated contain- ers, and loaded them onto the August Peters. Their next des- tination: The bottom of the South Atlantic.
