Asian Trip
Kuala Lumpur
Feb. 15 This was the biggest collection of VIPs since Washington. Professor Kennedy G. Tregonning was the speaker. He talked on "The Problems of Malaysia". Kendrickson was in disagreement with him on a number of points. After the talk we saw an Indonesian shadow show.
John said there were some 14 species of Draco in the jungles near Kuala Lumpur. The largest is Draco maximus, about 12" long. Baby draco can't fly. They must be about 2"+ long before they can do so. The females can easily be caught when they come to the ground to lay. They lay in the soil at the base of trees and deposit 2 eggs (as I recall). Draco occurs in the southern Philippines.
Feb. 16 Left for San Francisco on PAA flight #844 at 10:00 a.m. Arrived at 4:50 p.m. Scattered clouds, recent rain, everything green. Met Mr. Larry Canning, U.C. Berkeley Assistant Business Manager on the plane.
