Zoo Visitors Will Need Patience, Keen Eyesight
To Glimpse New Born Gibbon in Mothers Arms
a Ins. Long and Pink, !,
Rare Hybrid Is Closely
Guarded by Parent

Zoo visitors today will have an
opportunity to view a rare sight
if they have patience and keen
eyesight.
Clutched tightly in its mothers
arms is baby gibbon, the third
such animal born here in the last
20 years. The 4-inch long, nearly
bald animal was born early yester-
day.
Since these apes inhabit the most
inaccessible jungles of Southeastern
Asia and the East Indies, infants
Of this species are seldom seen
even by naturalists. Only a few
births in captivity have occurred
anywhere in the world.
The animal is even more unusual
in that it is hybrid, the offspring
OF Black-Capped gibbon from
Siam and Sumatran gibbon. These
two are the parents of another
child, Barbara, years old last fall.
The mother of the new arrival, a
brown-haired show-off who has been
at the Zoo since 1888, deserted the
bars and swings of her cage yester-
day to sit huddled on a perch, the
child closely guarded in her arms.
Only the most vigilant watchers
could spot the pink skinned baby
on the few occasions when she swung
to a cage-top skylight to sun her
newborn child.
The father, however, who swung
madly about his cage, beating his
chest and screaming wildly. On one
occasion, he jumped to the perch,
closely examined his off spring, and
then scampered quickly away-sur-
prised, no doubt, by what he saw.
Frank Q. Lowe, Zoo head keeper,
said it may be necessary to take the
new baby from it's mother after two
or three weeks. This was done with
Barbara after the mother, tired of
inactivity, resumed her wild gyra-
tions about the cage.
Fearing the valuable animal would
fall and be killed, Barbara was put
in a separate cage and fed with a
medicine dropper.
If additional years of maturity
have made the mother more Sc
date parent, the infant will be left
in the cage until it Is able to scam
per about by itself. This would be
in about two months, Mr.. Lowe esti-
mated. @
Meanwhile, Mr.. Lowe was trying
to arrange a romance between Bar
bara and young Hoolock gibbon
But he Is baked by the housing
shortage. He said he thought the
acrobatic Barbara and the equally
active Hoolock would be "a fine
match" Both live in cages too
small for two.
IF I can find space for the young
sters, think they'd get along we'll"
said Mr.. Lowe. I'VE have a fine
gibbon collection here, one of the
best-but I'd like to see it in
creased" 3
The new baby, fher parents and
Barbara are all Residents OF the
smlall-mammal house,

Gas Men Cure
Big Headaches
In Filling Station
Nv tho Asxeeio,ed Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 21.-Charles
Benson was happy today to report
that his headaches have gone
George Funk had no headaches
either.
Louis G. Bowers also declared
himself free of pains in the head
but Mr.. Bowers almost died before
the cause was discovered.
ALI three work in Mr.. Benson's
filling station and all had COM
planned of headaches for weeks.
Then, Mr.. Bowers had an inspira-
ton and called the gas company to
inspect for leaks. The gas men
found Mr.. Bowers unconscious in
the station and it took an hour TO
revive him. .--
The experts figured this out;
There was a leak IN a main 300
feet away. The ground was frozen,
so escaping gas travelled under
groud until 1t reached a warm place
TO seep out. That warm place was
the floor Of Mr.. Benson's filling
station.

10 Seek Funds
From Assembly
Action Follows
Recent Denial Of
Aid to Foirfox
,uiIe
By Alex R. Preston
Stur Ssoff correspenden,

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 2l-The
State Board of Education, unable to
grant substantial loans to locali-
ties for school construction because
the Literary Fund has been de-
pleted, is planning to sponsor legis-
lation in the General Assembly
which would make more money
available.
This was learned after a visit
here of Fairfax County School Supt.
w. T. Woodson, whose county re-
Gently was denied additional loans
from the fund.
G. Tyler Miller, State superin-
tendent Of public instruction, said
today he is not prepared to dis
close the method by which addi-
tional sources of money would be
made available through the Literary
Fund until after all legal questions
have been settled.
He confirmed however, the fact
that the fund, of approximately
$13,500,000 plus an additional S.
100000 available to it from the
Teachers Retirement Fund, has
been nearly exhausted because Of
loans made to localities.
Woodson in Richmond.
Mr.. Woodson came here this week
to confer with school officials and
his county's legislative delegation,
Senator Andrew w. Clarke and
Delegate Robert J. McCandlish, jr.,
concerning the possibility Of max
ing more money available to the
Literary Fund.
Fairfax County applied for loans
totalling $2,410.000, of which $685.
GOO has been obtained. The county
has been unable to get the addi-
tional S1,624,000, Mr.. Woodson said,
and will need an additional 1886 900
to carry out proposed construction
program.
Commenting on the Fairfax
County problem. Mr.. Miller had this
to say:
Fairfax County loans from the
fund now total more than $4,000 900,
or, nearly 10 per cent of the entire
Literary Fund. The law requires
that loans from the Literary Fund
be dispensed equitably throughout
the State and Fairfax has a major
share. :
"On the other hand we recognize
that Fairfax, more than any other
area-includiflg Arlington-has a
problem greater than any other
county. 1t is faced now with rapid
expansion and still has a large
area to cover In fact the people
of Arlington are 'spilling over into
Fairfax County"
The. literary fund is derived from
fpaH taxes and certain types Dfsfines.
1t increases about 81 ,500g00 an
nually, Mr.. Miller explained. Off,
setting this. however, it must place
$500,D00 year in the teachers re-
| ttxefheat fund. For dhis' reason, he
said no loans of any size can be
made until after July l so as to
insure the payment of $500,000 by
that date. The net gain of 81 ,000,-
600 during the next fiscal year is not
sufficient to meet demands from
throughout the State.
Mr. Woodson. in discussing future
expansion plans under the $986,000
loan sought by Fairfax County. said
the money would be used for the
following projects:
New elementary schools at Simms
Corner, near Franconia. $3.50 900,
and at Holm Hall, Belle Haven.
$3.50 900, and additions to elementary
schools at Annandale, 5000, 900:
Burke, $135,000, and Groveton,
$l3l 900.

Petition Requests
Changing of Area

The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission yes
terday recommended that the Mont
gomery County commissioners deny
a petition seeking apartment-house
zoning of approximately 81 acres at
Goldsboro and River roads, near
Bethesda.
Also recommended for ,disapprov-
al was a request by Floyd C. Camp
bell for the rezoning from residen-
tiaI A to commercial D of about 40
900 square feet of land on the west

ing petition will be held at pm.

The first petition was filed by
Colonial Village, Int, of which
Gustav Ring is president. The tract
in question Is now zoned residential
A and is part of the 300-acre Park
land subdivision, owned by the Ring
Engineering Co. The request has
been Endorsed by the Board of Di-
rectors of the Bethesda Chamber of
Commerce.
A strip of land $50 feet deep along
River.and Goldsboro roads would be
retained as residential A, according
to the petition.
Pointing out that a similar petit
ton was rejected by the county
commissioners last year, the plan
ming commission said the site is
"one of the most inappropriate 10
cations in suburban Montgomery
County for a large apartment prof.
ect:"
approximately 1000 families were
moved into 81 acres of land" the
commission declared, ''it would i'm
mediately be necessary to replan
other community facilities, making
considerable upward revisions in es-
timated school population of the
area, burdens on existing highway
systems, etc.
Area Held Not Changed.
The commission also said that
the applicant has failed to submit
to its planning division detailed
land-use study for the entire tract
showing locations of Fairgrounds
and other recreation areas and the
relationship of the proposed apart
ments to the surrounding area.
The area has not changed mate

sion asserted, being characterized
by low-density, singlesfamily resi-
Dental developments substantial
homes on large lots anu, in many
cases, on acreage
In recommending denial OF Mr.
Campbell's petition, the commission
termed the request { scnewhat pies
