The hadrosaurus walked on its hind legs and in habited the seashore areas. The name. In Greek, means "stout lliard." . Dr. Horace G. Richards, who headed the academy staff 'which dug up the bones on a-tip from a private contracting firm, said the discovery was made during an excavation project in a green sand pit at Sewell, about 15 miles south of Phlladelnhia. At the. time when the Sewejl hadrosaurus lived, the Atlantic ocean covered much ' of - New Jersey. The coastal area was lo cated .near, the Delaware river, Richards said. The find included two femora, or upper leg bones, -each about two and one-naif xeet long and resembling huge "dog bones." Parts of the pelvis, various verte brae, ribs- and other miscellane ous bones alo were unearthed. Richards said they were dug up from 15 feet below the surface, indicating in-dicating the receding ocean had carried the skeleton -a short dis tance from where it died and piled sand on it for millions of years. ' . "Altogether; we; have recovered so far about 275 bones or frag ments," he said, "about half the number discovered- at Haddon-field Haddon-field in 1858." He said the Sewell dinosaur was an adult apparently cut on in the prime of its long life, per haps by getting ' caught . in the swamps which covered the area in those days." Richards said the partial-skeletons of the. two New Jersey dinosaurs dino-saurs were "the best finds of hadrosaurus bones ever reported in this country." Other dinosaur remains have been, found extensively in the c f d rr TTnttust Ktata nntaHlv in 4 1T.,.I Cn.!lk TIoUa. Montana. Many dinosaur tracks, preserved in rock, have been found in the east, but only a few fragments of skeletons have been unearthed. Richards said the hadrosaurus, as reconstructed by scientists from bones found in various part3 of the world, had a strong, narrow nar-row tail and webbed feet, broad snouts and a battery of several hundred grinding teeth in each jaw. Its feet were1 webbed, indi-cating-that it was an accomplished accomplish-ed swimmer. They measured 5 feet or more in length. ' The age of reptiles during which the dinosaurs lived and flourished, lasted about 140,000,-000 140,000,-000 years before the dawn of the age of mammals. There were both flesh-eating and plant-eating types. The largest measured 80 feet from tip to tail and weighed about 50 tons. ' Like many other reptiles, they continued to grow during their lifetime. The name dinosaur in Greek means "terrible reptile."

"Otherwise it won't be published. I'll devote my leave to the job because it's the only time I'll have that is my own. "This Is the one chance in my lifetime to build security for my family. The soldier leaves the army as poor as he enters it." Eisenhower left these parting recommendations: 1. More pay for soldiers on duty in Korea and remote islands of the Pacific to bolster the dangerous drop in recruiting, the army is 100,000 below authorized strength and dropping steadily. 2. That congress pass legisla tion to continue the women s army corps which will go out of existence by June 30.
