Expert Says Skua Best Of Birds in Antarctic By RENNIE TAYLOR AP Scicnc eRcporter WILKES STATION, Antarctica least one expert doesn't think the penguin is the cutest, most lovable bird in the antarctic. The penguin is dumb, primitive, noisy and at times unspeakably dirty, says Carl Eklund of the U.S. Fish and Wild Life Service station at Atlanta, who has just compleged a term as leader of the Wilkes International Geophysical Year station. For Eklund, the real glamor bird of the frozen continent is the south polar skua, a gull-like creature that lives on the ice, preys on the penguin, and is related to the jaeger, an eagle-like fighting bird. Old explorers denounced the skua in strong terms, mainly because it preys on the penguins and discharges its droppings from the air at intruders, with great accuracy.

Various antarctic pioneers called the bird callous, greedy, vulturous, disgusting and a pirate of the air. Eklund contends the skua is a noble bird, the eagle of the antarctic who fears nothing." "In eating penguin eggs and baby penguins," Eklund continues, the skua helps to keep the penguin population within bounds. It takes only the weak young penguins, leaving the stronger ones to perpetuate the breed. This is the old law of natural selection and survival of the fittest. The skua is without doubt the cleanest bird on the Antarctic Continent.

It bathes more than any other. The penguin spends a lot of time in the water but it is fishing, not bathing. The skua has no parasites, no characteristic disease. It does a better job of defending its nest than any other antarctic bird. Skuas are smart too.

To get penguin eggs they work in pairs. One will divert the attention of the penguin while the other dives in and carries off an egg. And the skua can soar like no other bird except the albatross." DEATHS AND FUNERALS Mrs. Sam W. Bramlett Funeral service for Mrs.

Sudan Seeks UN Council Action KHARTOUM, Sudan Egypt's dispute with Sudan over two border areas was headed for the U.N Security Council today after top- level talks in Cairo broke down. Foreign Minister Mohamed Mahgoub reported from Cairo that negotiations with Egyptian President Nasser had been fruitless The Sudanese Cabinet decided to appeal to the Council. Egypt claims all territory north of the 22nd Parallel and would yield a small area south of the line.

One portion of the disputed territory sought by Nasser is a square-mile desert triangle along the Red Sea. It has been run by Sudan to unify administration over the 10,000 wandering tribesmen in the area who move back and forth across the parallel. The other is a finger extending north from the parallel along tha Nile Valley or about 25 miles. The Egyptians claim that the people in the disputed have a right to vote in tomorrow's plebiscite to approve the new United Arab Republic of Egypt and Syria and to, elect Nasser as its president. Sudan holds parliamentary elections a week later.

For either nation to permit the territories to vote in the other's election might affect its claim to them. Radioactive Particle Discovered Near Ennis ALBUQUERQUE (tfV-An Atomic Energy Commission inspector reports information from three Dallas men has turned up a bean- sized radioactive substance from a lonely Texas roadside. Inspector T. J. Haycock said this week the material appeared to be cobalt-60.

He described the particle as about one-eighth inch long and about as thick as a pin. Richard Heinen, C. J. Heinen and Clarence Heinen, all of Dallas, told the Dallas Health Department of picking up radiation signs on an instrument while driving through Central Texas several years ago. Haycock said.

Last week federal and local authorities announced in Dallas they were searching for a cobalt isotope which had been missing about two years. They said they believed the object harmless unless a person came in contact with it for a coasiderable period. said the Dallas men led him to a roadside spot between Ennis and Caldweil. The substance was found about three feel off the pavement. The brothers are in the oil exploration business.

Haycock said that at the time they noticed the radiation readings on their truck- mounted instrument, they thought they might have located a uranium deposit. He said the men later went over the ground with a portable detection instrument and located a very small area from which the signals were being emitted. Haycock said they left the source undisturbed after realizing they had found a radioactive source, not a uranium deposit. The minute particle is being examined at a laboratory at Sandia Special Weapons Bse here, another spokesman said. "It is assumed it came from a hospital somewhere, but how, why and when, we haven't the lightest idea," he said.

Haycock said the cobalt-60 form appears to be that ordinarily used in destroying cancerous growth. BPWC Is Told Of Guatemala Guatemala, a land of violent contrasts and infinite variety, was described by Miss Mary Louise McCoin, first vice-president of the Business and Professional Women's Club at its dinner meeting this week at The Nicholson House.

from the ancient Mayan race, Miss McCoin said, remains largely unchanged and aloof, following the ancient crafts and arts while the ladino chiefly of Spanish-English and German origin follows Western ways for the most part. High mountains, steaming coastal plains, lush jungle growth volcanoes and earthquakes have retarded development in many fields, but with American aid in the form of heavy machinery which Guatemala is not yet equip ped to produce, roads are being built and other construction made possible for aiding the eco nomic conditions.

THE PARIS NEWS, THURSDAY, FEB. 20, Dodger Still Has Paralysis GLEN COVE, N.Y. MV-The future of Roy Campanella remained clouded today. Time may determine whether the 37-year-old Los Angeles Dodgers' catcher will recover from the broken neck he got in an auto accident Jan. 28.

He is in Glen Cove Community Hospital, still paralyzed from the hips down and his muscle strength has not improved. Harry C. F. Gifford, administrator of the hospital, said yesterday, "The longer the paralysis remains unchanged, the less one can expect for the future." There was no mention whether he'll ever play baseball again. Gifford's report said, "The consensus remains that specific predictions can not be made at this time as to the degree of neurological improvement," It added on ominous note' that the slight improvement shown in the first week has tapered off.

'Campanella's general medical condition was termed "satisfactory." The likeable, roly-poly baseball player with the squeaky, high-pitched was showing a great deal of interest in his surroundings. He has been listening to the radio and soon will be able to watch television. Roy's wife says she's not think it's just going to take time. Anything to do with nerves takes limp." Tiger Spoils Gavilan Plan MIAMI BEACH, Fla. UPl-Ralph (Tiger) Jones, a tough-sk i boxer from Brooklyn, sidetracked Kid Gavilan's comeback attempt with a split decision last night and the Cuban admitted afterward, "He good fighter better than I expect." Jones claimed Gavilan butted him over the eye in the ninth, inflicting a cut.

The Kid denied this, saying, "I feel right hand land real good bang on the eye." There were no knockdowns in the 10-round bout. Gavilan weighed 154'A and Jones Gavilan said he thought he won, but had no alibi. Jones admitted the 32-year-old Kid from Camaguey, veteran of 140 ring battles and holder of the welterweight title from 1951 to 1954, "hit me with one bolo that I can remember." Gavilan showed occasional flashes of his old speed but Jones, 29, took everything Gavilan had. He kopt boring in, bothering the kid with a sharp left to the head and mixing it with a good right that frequently found its mark. Some 200,000 acres of virgin timber are in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina.
