SEATTLE — Marine biologists
trying to save an infant sperm whale
abandoned by its mother on an Ore
gon beach managed to feed the
800-pound baby a mixture of saline
and krill Wednesday night, hut the
mammal’s chance of survival was
still rated as “zero.”
Wearing chest waders and hold
ing onto a large towel looped be
neath its head, biologists at the
Seattle Aquarium worked in twos,
slowly “walking” the 12-foot infant
female around a SV^-foot-deep hold
ing pool while volunteers fed the
whale special formula through a
long tube and bilge pump.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Nearly
$1,000 has been collected to help an
elderly couple buy their home back
from the real estate broker who
gained title to the house because
they failed to pay $3.05 in back
taxes.
In addition, Pittsburgh real estate
agent J. Howard Mitchell offered to
pay $500 to buy back the home back
for Fedo and Hattie Mae Kenon.
A legislative hearing was called
for tonight at the courthouse in
nearby Quincy to consider reform of
the law that led to the Kenons losing
their home without knowing it.
The hearing was a response to
howls of citizen protests at learning
the Kenons, who live on Social Se
curity benefits, had lost their house
because they did not pay $3.05 in
1975 taxes.
“Nobody has done anything il
legal,” said state Sen. Pat Thomas of
Quincy. “But there is a weakness in
the law. The Legislature never in
tended that a person should lose his
home under these circumstances.
The home, valued at $5,200, was
bought by Callahan mortgage
broker John D. Barrow for $102,
which included the back taxes and
county costs in connection with the
sale.
“You did not realize you were tak
ing a home from an elderly couple
that had worked hard all their life in
the cotton field to pay for that little
house,” Mitchell wrote Barrow.
“You thought you were buying a
little piece of land nobody wanted,
and you bought it," he said. “It has
worried me ever since I read the ar
ticle in the Pittsburgh Press paper. I
will pay you $500, which is more
than you have in it, if you will deed
it back to Hattie Mae Kerion.
“You have had some adverse pub
licity,” Mitchell added, “hut people
will say, T knew he would treat the
old couple fairly in the end. Please
do this because I know in your heart
you are a good fellow. ”
People from throughout the coun
try have sent money to help the Ke-
nons. Close to $1,000 has been col
lected in an account established by
friends after Barrow said he’d sell
the property back to the Kenons tor
$10,000.
Barrow declined to talk to a UPI
reporter without a signed agree
ment in advance to run his full
statement verbatim. The wire serv
ice refused.
The baby whale’s head surfaced
periodically to gasp for air. It cried
beneath the water with intermittent
“clicking” and “popping” sounds.
“ We re seeing how long the whale
would hold it (the food) down,” said
C.J. Casson, a staff member at the
aquarium. He said the whale had
suffered from severe nausea before
it was soothed by the “walking” pro
cedure.
Despite the successful feeding,
Tag Gornall, a consulting marine
veterinarian for the aquarium, still
rated the animal’s chance of survival
at “zero.”
“I don’t like to be a pessimist,”
Gornall said, “but the whale s condi
tion is such an unknown quantity
that even if it is alive on Thursday,
the chances against it’s surviving
still will be 99 percent. On Friday it
will be 98 percent.
“It’ s as if you were a gorilla and
you found a human baby in the
forest. Would you know how to take
care of it fully?”
Gornall said the main problem
with caring for the whale was that no
one knew the full dietary needs of
the baby sperm whale. He said
biologists will later attempt to feed
the whale a different mixture of
whipping cream, blended squid,
protein meal and small shrimp.
Marily Dahlheim, a bioacousti
cian for the National Marine
Fisheries in Seattle, monitored a
“hydrophone” dropped into the
water to record sounds the whale
was making. They were the first
recordings of an isolated baby sperm
whale’s sounds, she said.
“She’s producing clicks,” Dah
lheim said. “She makes four to six
popping and clicking sounds in a se
ries.”
Quake
kills three
in Italy
United Press International
NORCIA, Italy — The most in
tense earthquake to strike Italy in
three years rumbled along the Ita
lian peninsula Wednesday from
north of Rome to Naples, killing at
least three people and sending
thousands fleeing into the streets.
A hundred aftershocks shook cen
tral Italy into the early morning
hours today and rescue crews
picked through the rubble of col
lapsed houses in search of other pos
sible victims.
Police said at least three members
of one family were killed Wednes
day when the quake knocked down
their stone house in the village of
San Marco just outside the Umbrian
hilltop town of Norcia.
Dozens of people throughout the
region suffered minor injuries, offi
cers said.
Scientists at the Monteporzio
Geophysical Observatory near
Rome said the earthquake measured
8.0 on the Mercalli scale of intensity
and was followed by a series of
smaller aftershocks that continued
into the early hours of today.
In Golden, Colo., the U.S.
Geological Survey measured the
tremor at 5.8 on the Richter scale.
