Once

Friendly Miami Duck
Dangerous Visitor
MIAMI, Fla., (A 5 )—Somewhere in
this sprawling city some unsus
pecting family is harboring a
dangerous visitor.
He has a reputation for worming
his way into your affections, then
showing the true colors of a scoun
drel.
He is known as Weeper, and he
is a psycho.
He also is a duck.
The addled duck paddled out of
the University of Miami student
lake a few days ago and made
friends with four little boys visit
ing the campus with their father.
Pop, whoever he is, should have
known Weeper was a wacky
quacky when he waddled after
them, hopped into the car and
stuck his head out the window like
a dog on a joyride.
A university porter who wit
nessed the scene reported Weeper
appeared delighted with his new-

found victims. . . er, friends.
But Mrs. Peggy Brandt, Miami,
Weeper’s former owner, warns
“Pop” he’d better get rid of the
daffy duck quickly if he doesn’t
want to disnipt the neighborhood,
lose his friends, break up his fam
ily and maybe go wacky himself.
Mrs. Brandt said Weeper ripped
her husband’s best flannel pants,
sci’atched his legs and arms, ate
a neighbor’s tropical fish, chased
their best friends and pecked a
sunning visitor through the bottom
of a canvas camp chair.
“I was crazy about him,” Mrs.
Brandt said. “He was fine with
our 2-year-old daughter, Debbie,
but he didn’t go over so big with
my husband. Bob. We bought him
when he was just a baby duck last
July at a feed store.
“Finally it was either Bob or the
duck had to go so I took Weeper
out to the university lake. He
loved to ride in the car and he
was so happy on the way over,
but he was mad when I left him
with all those other ducks.”
She returned the next day to see
how Weeper was getting along and
the porter told her he had “adopt
ed” four boys and their father.
Trotter Receives
M.A. at Princeton
Ide P. Trotter Jr., son of Dr.
and Mrs. Ide P. Trotter, 4306 Old
College Road, Bryan, has received
his master of arts degree in chemi
cal engineering from Princeton
University.
He was one of 40 students receiv
ing advanced degrees at January
commencement exercises at the
university.
Trotter is a 1954 graduate of
A&M, where he was valedictorian
of the spring graduating class re
ceiving a bachelor of science degree
in chemical engineering.
He enrolled at Princeton Uni
versity after winning a National
Science Foundation Scholarship in
national competition. He plans
to continue work on a doctorate
degree at Princeton.
“I’m afraid they won’t keep him
long, either,” she said. “The trou
ble is, he takes a dislike to certain
people.”
You can tell when Weeper
doesn’t like you, she added, be
cause he flies at you with bill
bared and webbed claws flying.
“He wraps his claws around
your legs and they really cut. You
should see poor Bob’s legs,” Mrs.
Brandt said.
Weeper also dislikes cars. “He
chases them like a dog-only he
flies around them and zooms at
the driver like a dive bomber,”
she said.
Neighbors who like to work in
their gardens also should beware.
Weeper delights in catching some
one stooping over.

Court Inverts Decree
About Parr’s Status
SAN ANTONIO GP>—George B.
Parr, who Tuesday was convicted
of theft of Benavides School Dis
trict funds, won a decision in the
Fourth Court of Civil Appeals
here yesterday in his fight to be
declared sheriff of Duval County.
The courf reversed a decision
of the district court of Duval
County in dismissing an injunc
tion and mandamus suit in which
Parr sought to be installed as
sheriff, Amando Garcia Ji’. as
county clerk, and Felipe Valerio
Jr. as county commissioner of
Precinct 4.
The suit was brought against
County Judge Daniel Tobin and
other Duval County officials who
had refused to certify the three
as winners in an election.
In an opinion written by Chief
Justice W. O. Murray in which
the Duval district court order of
dismissal was reversed and the
case remanded for trial, it was
stated that from the records of
the case it was presumed that
citations were not duly served on
the defendants, and that the case
was not regularly set for hearing
on its merits when the district
judge rendered his decision.
The dismissal came only nine
days after the suit was filed, it
was noted, and it was recalled
that a previous appellant court
ruling had held that such time
would be insufficient to rule on
the merits of the case, and the
district judge erred in dismissing
the case so hastily, the opinion
said.
Parr was elected sheriff of
Duval County in the November
election.
