Utsler's kitten. Chickadee, has a very definite opinion that he's a chicken. He apparently is finding considerable confirmatior. from chickens themselves. Utsler began noticing a skinny kitten, about 3 months old.

in the chicken yard of his home, at nearby Rylie, Tex. The kitten would have nothing to do wilh people or other cats. Wondering what he ate, Utsler watched after pulling out chicken feed, consisting of table scraps, lettuce, bran pellets, nd bread. "The kitten could beat any chicken to I he draw on grabbing a scrap and my old rooster even fought off the hens to let the kitty eat," Utsler relates. It even ate lettuce and bran pellets, just like the chickens.

"One night after the chickens went to roost, I decided to find out where the kitty slept. I looked into the chicken house, and there he was asleep on the top roost between five big hens nd looking as comfortable as they did.

(Republic Photo, Ralph Camping) Hometown Boy Made Good Willcox Treats Rex Allen Like King 27-1 All Crew On Craft Americans BODOE, Norway (UP) A converted Liberty ship of World War II, with approx imately 50 men aboard broke in two and sank in a raging Arctic storm off Norway's rocky coast yesterday.

The ship was the ton freighter Pelagia of New York, bound from the Arc tic Circle port of Narvik to Balti-mora with 10,000 tons of iron ore. Watchers from shore said three lifeboats left the ship, but 12 hours later searchers said no trace of survivors had been found. Directors of the air-sea search said there was every indication, the ship and Its entire crew wera lost. In New York, a spokesman for the owners of the Pelagia, Eastern Seaways said the captain of the ship is John Mantandos, 50, of New Orleans. The spokesman said all of the crew are Americans, hired on at Norfolk, Va.

More than 20 ships searched the disaster area, just north of the Arctic Circle at the mouth of the treacherous Vestfjorden Fjord. A big U.S. Air Force Rescuemaster flew to the scene from Prestwick, Scotland. Tough fishermen from Vaeroey Island at the fjord's mouth braved frigid wind gusts of 40 knots in their 80-foot craft to attempt a rescue. NEVE large ships from four nations, including Norwegian naval units, joined the search.

Roervik Radio, co-ordinating the search, said there were no re ports after the American ship first sent out distress signals about noon. The freighter reported it had a leak and was putting over a life boat with four men to examine the damage. The Pelagia called for assistance as the heavy seas washed the lifeboat away. Roervik Radio said the British freighter Clngston Scepter trolled the area for four hours without observing any traces of the Pelagia or its crew. The Soepter then continued on its own voyage.

Ships from Naval Command North at Tromsoe headed for the Skomvaer liht house near the Pelagius position. They expected to arrive early today. Two unidentified Dutch and German freighters already were near the soene. The Norwegian coast liners Polarlys and Baroe also set out, expecting to arrive shortly after midnight Captain Harald Waagoenes, master of the Baroe and a vet eran of the dangerous Norway coast, said the sea was high and visibility poor. He said he was not optimistic about, chances of spotting the survivors.

"I have no reports on Pelagia and its Waagoenes Stiid, "but I will take part in the search as long as we have the slightest hope." A Prayer For Today By REV. HENRY G.

Hunsaker's rassini Turns Tide By ARNOTT DUNCAN ARIZONA'S Wildcats, fought almost to a standstill by a rugged Montana line, used the passing of Ralph Hunsaker to grind out a 27-12 victory over the Grizzlies here last night. A crowd of 12,000 saw a rough, penalty-filled game in which many plays were nullified by double personal foul assessments.

Montana threw the equivalent of an eight-man line at Arizona's ground game, but Hunsaker was able to thread his passes successfully to receivers for the biggest boosts on scoring drives. Art Luppino, national leader in rushing the past two years, picked up a meager 82 yards last night, but freshman Sal Gonzales picked up where the Cactus Comet left off and turned in some fine runs. He added 37 yards. Arizona poured over two of its touchdowns In the fourth quarter as heat handicapped both clubs but apparently wore the Silvfrtips down more than the Wildcats. Fullback Don Beasley capitalized on one Montana gamble for a 27-yard scoring run, his longest of the night through a defense shored by Sophomore Stan Kenning, a man who lived up to advance notices.

Beasley rushed for 59 yards. The Grizzlies tried a quarter back sneak on fourth down with inches to go on their own 27-yard line. Arizona's line smashed the play for no gain and on the very next play Brother Beas tore over his own right tackle and sprinted into the clear behind a block by wingback Gene Leek. ARIZONA whomped up four threatening gestures in the first half, but managed to push only one into the end zone and held a lead at the intermission. Luppino scored that one on a nice 6-yard run over his left tackle, cutting away from tacklers, and booted the extra point.

It was Gonzalei who shared honors as the big producer with Hunsaker on 'the next drive in the third period. But fullback Carl Hazlett scored it, on a shot of 1 foot over guard at the end of a 74-yard push. Hazlett also is a freshman. Montana, which fell a hare 2 yards short of a touchdown as the first half ended, started a strong, sustained shove in the third quarter and got back into the game on the first play of the fourth when Sophomore Halfback Pat Monno plunged 2 yards. The Grizzlies had advanced steadily for 82 yards, a penalty on Arizona providing a 19-yard windfall to the 1-yard line at the nd of it.

Most of the plays were aimed between tackles.

Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Oregon also converged here during the celebration to catch a glimpse of their boy. A round trip to tap a vicarious thrill.
