GOP Calls on JFK to Fix
Deadline Agreement for
Ban on Red Nuclear Tests
WASHINGTON UP> — The Re
publican Congressional leader
ship called on President Kennedy
yesterday to end the “monument
al stall” at Geneva by fixing a
deadline for Soviet agreement to
a ban on nuclear weapons test
ing.
Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illin
ois, Senate GOP Leader, told a
news conference: “You can’t
escape the conclusion that the
Russians must be going on” with
secret testing of nuclear weapons
while the United States waits for
- an agreement.
He said the GOP Senate and
House Leaders agreed unanimous
ly at a breakfast meetirig that
Kennedy, in the interest of con
cluding the negotiation within a
reasonable time, “should now fix
a time limit and so notify the Rus
sians.”
“It is perfectly apparent that
the Soviets are not negotiating—
they are conducting a monumental
stall,” Dirksen said in a state
ment summing up the GOP posi
tion.
Dirksen said Kennedy declared
during his Presidential campaign
last Oct. 9 that he intended, if
elected, to “prescribe a reason
able but definite time limit to de
termine whether significant pro
gress is being made” at Geneva.

The Bronx Zoo
Is a Sad and
Lonely Place
NEW YORK UFi — The monkeys
are morose. There’s nobody to
make faces at.
The elephants trumpet loudly
for peanuts. But no one hears.
The Bronx Zoo is a sad and
lonely place. The critters can’t
understand why they haven’t had
any visitors in more than a month
and why the chow is so monoton
I ous.
There is plenty of good, plain
food served by a skeleton staff
of keepers that a union left on
duty when a strike closed the
zoo and the aquarium at Coney
Island.
But it’s nothing like the pea
nuts, popcorn and other choice
tidbits that children used to toss
to the chimps, elephants, hippo
potamuses, ostriches, squirrels
and their cage mates.
Their chattering, bellowing and
squawking for attention these un
happy spring days is all in minor
key.
One keeper took his charges’
plight so much to heart that he
asked the curators and their aides
to “please walk through the mon
key house on your way to lunch.”
He said the monkeys were pining
to “see a human face.”
The squirrels — usually sur
feited with peanuts from visitors
—have taken to outright thievery.
Zoo Controller Herbert Schie
mann said one of them ran up
his arm outside the cafeteria and
stole a biscuit out of his fingers.
A squad of mendicant squirrels,
a couple domestic cats, a flock
of pigeons and a screaming pea
cock follow a woman zoo execu
tive who scatters crackers on her
walk from the cafeteria back to
her office.
Two wild Australian dogs have
been released from the kangaroo
house and allowed to run after
their keepers.
The strike at the zoo and aquar
ium was called by a union seeking
recognition as bargaining agent.
Both institutions are run for the
city by the New York Zoological
Society.

which she has just returned,
earning her way in this manner.

Tanganyika, Rhodesia, Thana,
Wales,, Ireland, Scotland and
other countries. She says she has
no address but commutes between

Miss MacNair holds a master’s
degree in vocational guidance from
Columbia University, according to
the St. Paul Dispatch.
