Czechs Rise In Revolution days there have been reports of disturbances, demonstrations and even bloodshed in Czech cities. Un- til now, these were lacking any i authoritative confirmation. VIENNA (AP)--Reports of first- class reliability said Thursday that rioting Czechoslovak workers stormed and pillaged the town hall at Pilsen last week and hoisted the American flag. The reports reached Vienna from Prague and were in part confirmed by the Pilsen newspaper Pravda. The newspaper said rioting work- ers tore down pictures of Stalin and former Czech President Kle- + ment Gottwald and trampled them underfoot. It also said demonstrations had taken place "with the intention of overthrowing the Communist re- gime." The riots, halted only by police action, took place in Pilsen in the days following a drastic currency reform that stripped millions of Czechs of their savings.

As catches decreased they va- cated their fishing shacks on the verdant island, never to return. There was talk of errie happen- ings on the island and the more superstitious blamed the wraith- like vultures of the sea. Left to the cormorants, Duck Island became a rookery and the birds, which Milton once likened to Satan, transforméd a virtual gar- den of Eden to a desolate isle ruled by nearly 3,500 glossy black fish-eaters. LARGE ROOKERY The island, about four acres in area, is two miles offshore about 40 miles from here on the eastern shore. Ornithologists say the rook- ery is probably one of the largest on Canada's Atlantic coast. In propagating theif species, the | cormorants killed everything. As nests were added and vegetation absorbed tons of excrement, lush undergrowth died and was blown into the sea. Coniferous trees shed their needles and bark and now protrude, grey and grotesque, above rapidly vanishing topsail. There is no fresh water. Only visitors "are gulls, seals and the occasional hunter seeking some off- only when starving. | The nests, seven and eight to | a tree, consist of a large mass | of seaweed and sticks. The eggs, usually four to six in number, are laid in spring. They are bluish- white but discolor quickly. Cormor- ants are hatched blind with an inky | | black skin and their first plumage {is blackish - brown above and creamish below. |LIVE ON FISH | In three years they become | | adults, with bodies two feet long, | {jet black plumage glossed above {with bronze, a vicious yellow-| hooked bill and orange-black web- | bed feet. They live entirely on fish. | There are two types of cormor- {ant, commonly known as "shags" in the Atlantic provinces.

There was a time when fish- {ing with "cormorants was popular. The birds, taken from nests and tamed, were kept from swallowing | the fish by a strap fastened about | their necks. | | In old England it was so much {in vogue that one of 'the officers | of the royal household was "master lof cormorants."
