Strange Animal

LOS ANGELES iff—Space scien-
tists are weighing the idea of try-1
ing to breed a special type of inati I
01 animal who could breathe wa-
ter or fas instead ot air.
In the jilate of luiitfs he might |
have rills like a tish. Or he might
have lunf* which could be tilled
temporarily with water and be con-
verted back to air breathing later.

These tar-reaching possibilities
were brought out today by Di Ba
line Levendahl. zoologist trom the
I 'niversify of California at Los An-
geles He talked to an associated
press newsman after addressing the
institute ot aeronautical sciences.
To produce a creature like this
scientists would have to speed up
t ncrmously the process of evolu-
tion Or Levendahl inade no specif-
ic siit!?estions as to how it should
be undertaken. He expressed the
belief, however, that researchers
already have the means to make a
start in that direction
Evolutionary theory holds that
all lite started in the water, that
the forerunners ot all air-breathers
man would be equivalent to turning j
the evolutionary timeciock for-1
ward until it completed a full cir- i
cle. j
A man with gills and with the ab-
ility to tolerate a lull load ot water
111 all his body cavities would be
ptotected against the crushing ef-
fects of being shot into space. He
could better withstand the shock
of hitting the atmosphere at high
speed on his return to earth.
Dr. Levendahl said even without
gills, but with lun?s and other
space that eouid be tilled with wa-
ter tor a while he could ?o through
these ciitical phases of space trav-
I el easily.

Sitka scurrying into the streets.
In Juneau, tile first rolling
shock was followed by sharp after-
shocks at 10:22 and 10:23. Minor ac-
