Evansville's Park Board faces

McGraw, an animal trainer,
was accepted for naval service.
The 10000 pounds Of trouble
is Kay, an elephant at the city

handle.
Park superintendent Crouch
said he believed Kay was bad
elephant and park attendants
have refused to enter her cage.
She has been responsible for the
death of one person and injury
to two others.
One veteran attendant is able
to feed the beast, but will not
enter the cage TO render special

and caring for the feet--which
elephants require.
Mayor Reichert, hastily called
on in the emergency, said he
believed the only solution would
be to lend Kay to another zoo
or a circus for the duration or
until McGraW is mustered out of
service.
