A professor and a few thousand
Rooney birds have collaborated
on a long-play record that has
become the hottest seller ever
to hit Midway Island.
Dr. Hubert Frings, professor of
zoology, became famous for his
work with starlings when he de

them away from towns by record

Last year, continuing his work!

to sees what could be done about
keeping the thousands of raie al-‘
batt osses, nicknamed gooney
buds, from hampering military 1
planes as they made their land- 1

The Capitol Recording Company!
has made a 25-nunute record ofi

ing their mating call, their dis-l
tress cues, and other sounds of!
communication. The record also 1
