ied-Eyed Walrus
Causes Consternation
\t N. Y.’s Aquarium
By RAY KOHN
NEW YORK, UPI — You’d be
ed-eyed, too, if you were a wal
us, the New York Aquarium has
iiscovered after two years of
puzzlement. .
Olaf is the only walrus in cap
;ivity in the Western Hemis
phere. He’s fat, 1,200 pounds,
md sassy and in apparently good
lealth, but his eyes always have
hat monumental hangover look.
They’re crimson and bleary-look
ng.
“We knew he’d not been on a
singe,” said aquarium director
Christopher Coates last Friday,
‘and we knew he was getting
plenty of sleep. But we couldn’t
igure out what was wrong with
ris eyes.”
While they dangled a bucket of
lead fish over Olaf, the doctor
nspected the eyes and prescribed
i salve. An infection in one eye,
which had been swollen half shut,
was cleared up. But both orbs re
named bloodshot.
When they called in a veter
narian, the latter threw up his
lands and said, “What do I know
ibout walrus eyes?”
Coates brought his own opthal
nologist to the Coney Island site.
Someone got the bright idea of
asking up Alaska way, where
Dlaf came from.
The answer came back from
he Alaskan Fish and Game
service:
Bleary red eyes are par for the
course in walruses.
But we’re probably not through
with Olaf. Coates is worried about
something else. Olaf, he says,
ceeps sucking the paint off the
walls of his tank, and is trying to
;ake the caulking out of the win
lows.”
Okay, Alaska Fish and Game
service: What about that?”

Search For Pair
Linked By Gory
Clues In Calif.
SACRAMENTO, Calif., UR —
Police continued their search
Saturday for a writer of hate
filled poems anpl a TV announcer
whose blood-spattered car was
found here Wednesday.
Officers said they have linked
Roy Victor Olson, 23, formerly
of Fairbanks, Alaska, to the dis
appearance of Ogden Miles, 36,
former New York radio actor, and
fear it may be a murder case —
although killer, victim and mo
tive are missing.
Sacramento police said Olson
was arrested in Fairbanks for
robbery on October 28, 1954.
Television announcer Miles
hasn’t been home since Tuesday
night, when he visited several
bars after attending his weekly
gym class at a health studio. His
wife said he usually came home
early and didn’t drink much. They
have two children.
His blood-spattered red convert
ible was found parked in the
heart of town on Wednesday.
A North Sacramento police
man says he thnks he saw Olson
in Miles’ car at 4 a.m. Wednes
day. •
A bloody butcher knife and a
blood-stained white cook’s uni
form were found in the weeds
near Olson’s home, along with
identification cards from Miles’
wallet.
Olson, who recently lost a job
as cook, came here last June to
live with his mother, Mrs. Dor
othy Ehly. She hadn’t seen him
in 15 years, but said she learned
he had been in trouble with the
police for the past six years —
burglary, robbery and car theft.
She showed reporters a shoe
box full of poems her son had
written on religion, life in prison
and love.
She said he had written others
lately.
“They are so full of hate that
I was frightened,” she declared.
Sec. Of Fisheries
Matters Asked
By Wash. Sen.
SEATTLE, U?> — Appointment
of a deputy Secretary of State for
Fisheries Matters was urged Fri
day by Senator Henry M. Jackson
(D-tfrash).
Jackson charged that the United
States is without a fishery policy
because no one in the department
has the knowledge or authority to
deal with such problems. Until a
secretary is appointed, Jackson
said, President Eisenhower should
direct the State Department to
delegate one person to be respon
sible for fishery affairs.
The senator, campaigning for
his second term, told a group of
fishermen’s wives, the United
States is “going off in all direc
tions” in their fishery .policy.
“At one conference we support
the historic three-mile limit,” he
said. “In the Icelandic crisis we
supported Iceland on the 12-mile
limit.”
Jackson said this lack of a co
ordinated policy leaves the United
States in a poor position when
dealing with the Canadians who
have announced their intention
of extending territorial waters to
the 12-mile limit.
