Fleay is still trying, without much hope, to catch a replacement for Paddy. Most of this year's crop of young platypuses are already too mature. Last week, building a platypusary for Pamela's and Paul's trip to the U.S., Fleay was hoping that they would be reconciled to traveling by air. But even air travel will not be carefree.

According to C.A.B. regulations, such flights must be non-profit. Besso, however, claimed yesterday that he had sent out refunds last month, too recently to have been discovered in Bloomberg's investigations...
Both Bloomberg and Stephen R. Salomon '58, director of this summer's flight, pointed out last night that the charge concerned Besso only, and, even if acted upon, would have no direct effect on the 1958 plane trip, for which Salomon has made a separate application to the C.A.B...
