Evening star., 1942-07-21
By HARRY MACARTHUR.


Congo, the Zoos newest African
lioness, stayed in her new cage yes
terday afternoon just long enough
to figure out the best way to escape
from It.
Congo was placed behind the bars,
looked about, decided that was no
place for her and-zip, lion was
on the loose. Not a scream was
heard, however. DR.. William T.
Mann laughed. The spectators
laughed. And Congo was recap
tured-by the scruff OF the neck-by
9-year-old boy.
Alan Gilbert Henney OF 1905
Woodley road NV, knew what he
was doing when he stepped for
ward and grabbed Congo, of course.
For the past two months, almost
ever since the lion cub had been able
to see, he has been her master.
But, even though she was recap
tured and calmed. 1t was decided
not to place Congo on display i'm
mediately. Being a mere slip OF a
lioness, for whom iron bars do not
cage make when they are far
enough apart for her to squeeze her
head between, Congo had to repair
to the privacy OF the Zoos receiving
home, where animals not ready for
public display are placed.
Amazed by Roars.
This made some of the other resi-
dents notably several monkeys, bit
nervous, but it probably made Congo
happier. She wouldn't have been
happy right away in the lion house,
judging from her actions there be-
fore she was Gagged, when lion let
out q roar such as Congo hadn't
heard since she was even more Of an
infant. She made tracks, number
Of them and rapidly, throwing over
her shoulder an expression OF such
utter, amazement as you never saw
on q lions face, young or old.
Alan says he always has wanted tc
be an animal trainer. For q couple
OF years he had his heart set on
owning q cheetah, . notion hi,
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Henney, We
toed as often as it was mentioned. A
cheetah Just didn't seem to be the
thing to have around the house
But Alan figured out g. compro-
mise. And even his mother wa,
won over two months ago when Alar
came home with the Kitten" hi
named Congo, which he had bought
from Clyde Beatty. Congo turned
out to be a great pet around the
house, romping with Alan and hi
12-year- -old brother, Frederic, for al
the world as II she didn't know she
wasn't really kitten.
Tough Job In Trimming.
Congo even responded with some
good will toward Alan's uon-taminf
efforts.
This was the hardest Job I evea
had, though" Alan said yesterday
looking back on his career. Tive
trained dogs, guinea pigs, doves ane
lots Of birds and they were a lot
easier than Congo" He did have
some success. however. He trained
Congo, he said, not to use her claws
but he couldn't teach her not tx
bite.

old cub woke up In the Zoo thi.

She was growing up, too, beyond

If she did not get petted imme-

elected her.
Worked to Buy Her.
Alan is not completely giving up
Congo, however. He shoveled snow,
moved lawns, washed dishes, ran
errands and performed other chores,
to earn the money to buy her. So
he is just loaning her to the Zoo,
hoping he may be able to work q
deal with Mr.. Beatty some time
and turn Congo in on = new
younger model.
Right now he is hoping the part
ing may be eased by getting per-
mission from DR.. Mann to take his
pet out for walk now and then
DR.. Mann didn't say no yesterday
afternoon, but he didn't say yes. A
lion. he intimated. tends to become
more and more like q lion every
day.
Still. If it were permissible, Congo
on her leash ought to be quite an
attraction at the Zoo. She drew q
crowd when she arrived, bearing up
bravely as bystanders came up and
greeted her, that they might tel
later about the time they petted the
lion at the Zoo.
