Strass' boardwalk emporium acts as a pawn shop for ardent ewains who spend too freely and are forced to hock the fraternity emblem for a ticket home. Strass has accepted four emblems a day for the past 20 years. He says girls are his best customers. Some of them turn up on Monday with a handful of the trinkets, which bring $3 and up. Strass keeps the rings or pins for 30 days to give the rightful owner a chance to buy them back.

Sometimes, he said, a girl will pick out a pin at random and wear it on her blouse to prove she has a boy friend, too. Best seller rating goes to the Delta Kappa Epsilon pin. One national fraternity has a standing order with Strass to buy at bargain prices all its pins which turn up at the shop. Phi Beta Kappa's are poor sellers and. because of their rarity, bring $6 when redeemed.

Youths and girls prefer the nifty pearl- studded pins and worry little about the Greek Strass never has been to school. but he reads the Greek letters and can explain the symbols and mythology represented by figures on the pins.

Scientific Search for Treasures of Captain Kidd Set NEW YORK (American Wire) it be possible that the fabulous treasure of Captain William Kidd, the goal of treasure hunters for 230 years, really exists? That is the theory of Harold T. Wilkins, noted authority on pirate lore, as he partially reveals plans for a new search for Kidil's cache in our own Pacific ocean. Wilkins tells his strange story in his latest book "Captain Kidd and His Skeleton Island (Liveright.) According to Wilkins, Kidd was a much maligned man, who was legally commissioned to seize booty on the high seas.

But when the Great Mogul of India protested to England. Kidd's papers were stolen from him and he was hanged as a pirate, to save the names and reputations of the noblemen who had backed his enterprises. Kidd had the last laugh on his betrayers, according to Wilkins, who claims that the captain left four secret maps of the Pacific island where he had hidden his treasure.
