DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1967 Me I Yellow Ka We Put Bug in Mis Ear katydid munching lettuce in the glass jar before her. With obvious emotion, she said that "never before in my 30 years at the museum have I seen a yellow katydid. Isn't he a fine, big chap?" Discoverer Is Incognito in Greenhouse Efforts to reach Dolloff were unsuccessful. His mother said that he was somewhere in the greenhouse where he had found the yellow katydid. "My son does not want any publicity about his bug," she said.

In making public Dolloff's discovery, Miss Gray also revealed that Berard has brought in four more pink grasshoppers for the museum's collection. She noted with sadness that some of the Peek-skill bug hunter's original finds have hopped out of this mortal coil, bringing the museum's current total to five pinks and Dolloff's yellow. Berard also discovered a purple grasshopper, but it was already perched on that great eucalyptus leaf By JOSEPH CASSIDY "Inspired" by a story in THE NEWS that told of the discovery of four pink grasshoppers, a Yonkers nurseryman set out on an insect expedition of his own, bagging one of the rarest specimens all bugdom a green-eyed, maize-winged, lemon yellow katydid!

"Mr. Dolloff was inspired by that story in The News," Miss Gray said. She peered at the little yellow in the sky before Miss Gray had a chance to study it alive.

Katydid Wanted Object: Matrimony The bug lady" said she is looking for a maiden katydid to share the glass jar with Dolloff's lemon yellow male, but she doesn't think she'll be successful. Almost all lady grasshoppers get married in June. This is unfortunate, because the museum's collection is not expected to live much beyond the next couple of weeks. "Our pink females, though, have lard 96 eggs so far, with more expected every day," Miss Gray saidi with a governess' pride, "so we hope to learn more about these mutations." She said the eggs, which look "like cantaloupe seeds," will be planted "somewhere in Connecticut with a wire screen around them. When they hatch, well see what we will see," she said.

Katydid eggs take from two to three years to hatch. Together Again pirate By RICHARD MATHIEU Gov.

One on suf- frage freezes the 21-year-old voting age. The other, the legislative proposition, restores to the Legislature the right of impeach-! ment. The propositions were up for vote on today's calendar, but were forced aside because printed copies weren available.
