Cat - 180-lb Cheetah
BOSTON, —A chambermaid
at the Hotel Lenox opened the
door to room 915 yesterday, sur
veyed the interior to make cer
tain any possible occupant was in
decent garb—and fainted.
What she saw was a huge pet
cat. In fact, it was a 180-pound
African Cheetah.
Bill Green of Fairlee, Vt., owns
the cat and he’s been keeping it
in his room at the Lenox while
showing it at the Sportsman’s
Show.
The management said it had
received some complaints from
women guests that the animal
was much too big for a house cat.
After the maid fainted, a
spokesman for the hotel said, it
was decided the cat would have
to go.
The hotel called on Patrolman
DanieLJ. Lucey to supervise the
eviction. »
Green told the patrolman:
“Come in and see how tame he
is.” Replied the policeman: “I
wouldn’t go near him if he didn’t
have any teeth. I got four kids.”
Green said the animal has ail
its teeth and all its claws “but
j he’s been trained to be kind to
people.”
The cat’s owner agreed, how
ever, to seek other lodgings.

Proof of Russian Good Intentions
Sought by President as Condition
For Any East-West Summit Talks
WASHINGTON, UPi — Better,
proof of Russian good intentions
was sought by the White House
Tuesday as a condition for an
East-West summit conference.
A letter made public Monday
from Russian Premier Bulganin
I did not go far enough, a White
House statement indicated, to
ward meeting Eisenhower’s in
sistence that such a conference
would “hold good hope of ad
vancing the cause of peace and
| justice.”
Eisenhower used that phrase in
a Jan. 12 letter to Bulganin say
ing he would agree to the con
; ference if certain conditions were
met. Bulganin’s note, delivered
Sunday, was a reply to the Jan.
12 letter.
The White House statement
said the Bulganin note is being
considered further, but added it
is “already apparent that further
clarification of the Soviet, position
will be necessary.” It went on
that Bulganin’s note “consists of
a repetition of Soviet proposals
previously made and a negative
attitude toward President Eisen
hower’s proposals” in his letter.
Eisenhower called among other
things for advance preparations
through diplomatic channels and
through a meeting of foreign min
isters together wth some assur
ance that a summit meeting
would succeed
