Gorilla Doesn't
Want New Cage

COLUMBUS, Ohio R-Columbus
Zoo attendants figured the Baron,
a 2o0-pound gorilla, was none toe
secure in his cage because he
could bend its bars. Trying to
move him, they used heavy tools
to separate the bars but the Baron
bent them back into place.
Then they tried to lure him into
a trap box using bananas as bait
The Baron calmly reached into the
box, stuck a foot on the spring to
prevent it from catching and pulled
out the bananas.
In desperation, the attendants de.
cided to lure the Baron out by
using Christina, female gorilla,
as bait and bringing her to the
Baron's cage.

mister makes sense.
The plain, undisputed fact is that
number OF American track stars
at least one of them a winner in
the last Olympics-have shown
their smiling faces on various
commercial programs in recent
years.
Why, then, did everyone con-
nected with the "secret" trip swoon
dead away upon receipt of word
from the AAU that this country,
unlike Britain, had commercial
television? It is 4 real puzzler, but
an executive of the company which
was to have transmitted the Ban
mister show thinks he has 4 clue.
"Since Bannister ran his 1884
mile" he said, 'he has been ex-
tended official invitations to COM
pete in at least three track meets
in this country. He turned them
all down, saying that his medical
studies made it impossible. Then
all Of a sudden he turns up here,
not to run, but to appear on a TV
show. I don't imagine that pleased
our officials very much"
The mans dark suspicious pos
sibly are not justified, but at least
no one has yet come up with a
better explanation. In justice to
the AAU, that body insists it
merely was being helpful.

Maryland High Court
Will Hear Mahoney
Vote Plea tuesday
BY the Asseeiefsd Press

Judge Stephen Collins said to-
day the Byrd-Mahoney election
contest will be heard by the
Maryland Court of Appeals in
Annapolis at 10 am. Tuesday.
Judge Collins is senior judge
on the States high court in the
absence of Chief Judge Freder-
ick Bruno. He informed Hyman
Pressman, Baltimore attorney
for George P. Mahoney, Of the
hearing date this morning.
Mr.. Mahoney will ask the court
to reverse Circuit Court deci-
sion which left H. c. Byrd the
apparent Democratic Party can
didate for Governor.
That decision, handed down
Tuesday by Chief Judge William
r. Horney of the Second Judi
cial Circuit, failed to throw Tai
bot County's four nominating
unit votes to Mr.. Mahoney. The
Baltimore County paving con-
tractor had asked the court to
order election supervisors to in
validate 255 ballots on grounds
they were illegally marked.
Court Gets Ballots.
These disputed ballots were
ordered yesterday to be sent to
Annapolis for review by the ap-
pellate court.
If Mr.. Mahoney's appeal fails.
it will be unnecessary to con-
tinue a similar Circuit Court case
in Queen Annes County, where
attorneys for both candidates
challenged 1882 of the 4,017 bal
lots counted in the official can
vass after the June % primary.
The three unit votes at stake
in Queen Annes would be useless
to Mr.. Mahoney unless he grab-
bed Talbot's four. DR.. Byrd
came out of the primary with 80
unit votes to 72 for Mr.. Mahoney
and held a popular vote margin
of nearly 1000. Popular vote
totals determine the winner Of
a Statewide primary only If the
unit votes are tied.
Dorsey Request Granted.
In a sideshow to the Byrd
Mahoney main event, Philip H.
Dorsey, jr., had a legal cue today
to begin his requested examina-
ton of polling place records in
Baltimore's 4th Legislative Dis
trict. Judge James K. Cullen OF
the Baltimore Supreme Bench
granted the request.
Mr.. Dorsey, who ran on the
Mahoney ticket, hoped the in
spection would enable him to
displace State Senator c. Ferdi-
nand Sybert of Howard County
as the party's candidate for at
torney general.
Mr.. Sybert, DR.. Byrd's run
ming partner, trailed Mr.. Dorsey
by nearly 5000 popular votes
but captured a 74-66 margin in
the decisive unit vote column.
Mr.. Dorsey, seeking evidence
Of fraudulent voting in the 4th
district. could take the districts
seven unit votes away from Mr..
Sybert If he succeeded in having
the results in a key precinct
nullifled.
