Prize of Science Missing Link Fish Intact
A South African ichthyologist announced the recovery of a Coelacanth, a fish long believed extinct, in waters between East Africa and Madagascar. The organism may illuminate evolution from sea to land animals, with a South Africa Air Force plane aiding retrieval to prevent decomposition and enable study of its organs. The specimen, caught by an African fisherman, is slightly different from the first complete specimen found off East London 14 years ago.

He said draftees should receive lower pay, serve two years, and that many discharged annually drain the draft pool. He suggested reexamining deferments for fathers and students.

Clark Boosts Rotation Points For Korean War Troops
Gen Mark Clark raised the rotation point total from 38 to 40 for frontline troops in Korea, citing insufficient replacements. The measure, opposed earlier by the Pentagon, reflects ongoing clashes over manpower and the pace of releasing 1.1 million personnel this year. Hershey notes many men are fathers and that most deferments will not be lifted immediately.
