Latin Revolt Foils Zoologist
Revolution can pose more dangers to scientists than the perils of the jungle.
William E. Duellman, assistant professor of zoology, and John Wellman, Detroit, Mich., graduate student, are in Guatemala where a small revolution has produced a nationwide state of siege.
Writing to E. Raymond Hall, director of the KU Museum of Natural History, Prof. Duellman reported.
"We bought some stamps at the Guatemala City post office, walked one-half block to a barbership. No sooner had we sat down than "Boom!" A bomb had wrecked the post office."

Prof. Duellman, who has a National Science Foundation grant for investigating the biological relationships of frogs, reached an impasse in his collecting when the government imposed a nationwide 9 p.m. curfew. No use trying to collect tree frogs in daylight.
The KU zoologists had to do a lot of talking to keep outpost guards from confiscating their small bore collecting guns and other scientific equipment while en route back to Guatemala City.
Prof. Duellman and Wellman were glad they had been no closer than a block to a riot in which one person was killed.
son was killed. Attempts will be made to get to two more field areas before the pair head northward into Mexico for additional field collecting. The National Science Foundation made a 3-year grant of $10,800 to Prof. Duellman for the research.

Insurance Limits Lowered at Airport
WASHINGTON — (UPI) The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) has cut the flight insurance limit at Washington National Airport in a frank effort to reduce the temptation for potential airline saboteurs
FAA chief Elwood R. Quesada said passengers henceforth will be able to buy only $165,000 instead of $425,000 in flight insurance at the government-operated airport. Other terminals are not affected.
He said "the casual ease with which insurance of great magnitude can be acquired at airports can be associated either directly or indirectly with tragic aircraft incidents." Of the 12 known airliner sabotage cases since 1946, five involved an insurance motive.
