Beasts Prove Less Wild
Than Humans They Meet

Garden but wandered into a
basement. fell asleep and was
Gagged. Recently in Baltimore,
a kangaroo was less docile. Fresh
from a TV show, it escaped,
wrecked traffic, leaped an auto,
bit a pursuer and kicked the
wind out of another before being
retaken.
Monkeys are the worst escapes
Once a baboon ripped the seat
from the pants of a policeman
chasing another simian fugitive.
A New York pet store lost rs
Rhesus monkeys. and New York
lost its corporate sanity as the
animals raced pell nell, fiinging
fruit. invading Offices and dis
rupting a boys choir practice.
Lion That Got Away
Three hundred monkeys broke
loose on an airplane headed for
La Guardia Field. The ship
landed with the white-faced
crew barricaded forward and
Ichattering faces at all window
ports.
About 30 years ago, a lion
broke loose at the Zoo here. A

The recent case of the escaped
ocelot here was just one more ex-
ample of an animal at large
being less wild than the human
beings it arouseS, the National
Geographic Society says.
Wild animals that break out
of circus. pet shop or zoo
usually. don't prove as wild-at
f1rst-as the human beings they
excite by their chance meetings
in the open," the society said in
a press release yesterday.
Diet Killed It
The ocelet limped back to its
pet store home after nine
haunted days of freedom.
Big cats have always worried
police" the society says. A
leopard vacationing from the
Oklahoma City Zoo was hunted
by thousands of volunteers, po-
lice, Marines. helicopters, air.
planes and especially trained
dogs. Zoo men finally captured
1t with doped horse meat. The
diet killed it.

C0-OrQlnaLlOn does NOT
service retirement system with
social security. Neither does it
mean confiscation."
Mr.. Macy declared that the
supplemental social security
proposal that will be presented
to Congress next month pre-
serves in every respect the iden-
itity of civil service retirement
as a separate and distinct sys-
ITEM while extending to Federal
employees the added protection
of social security"
The administrations proposal
for co-ordinated coverage 'fol-
lows the general pattern of pro-
gressive private industry" Mr..
Macy declared
Mr.. Macy expressed the view
that Federal employees who fear
their civil service retirement
system will be swallowed up
by social security may have
Imisinterpreted some of the Kap-
Ian Committee recommended
lions on which the proposed
Legislation Is based.
The commission official added
that the administrations plan
will be fully discussed with Fed
'eral employee union leaders before
it is submitted to Congress next
month.
However. there isn't much
chance that Federal employe
leaders will change their minds
regarding their outright opposi-
ton to any tieup between civil
service retirement and social Sc
curity. The employee leaders want
retirement liberalization achieved
within the framework of the
civil service retirement system
AS a result. a hot fight on the is
sue is virtually certain to enSue
in Congress next year.
SENIOR CIVIL SERVICE
Mr.. Macy also limited broadly in
his speech that the Civil Serv-
ice Commission doesn't look
with much enthusiasm on the
Hoover Commissions proposal
for a senior civil service. The
Hoover group proposed a corps
of selected top-level career ad-
ministfators whose rank would
be fixed in them as individuals
trather than by the positions
they occupied. and who would
be subject to assignment where
ever their services were needed
at any given time.
Mr.. Macy said the csc "de-
finitely agrees with the objec-
tiyes of the proposal"
However, Mr.. Macy added,
1T is necessary to determine
whether or not the proposed
Senior Civil Service should be
adopted as the method Of i'm
plementing these objectives. It
would be a radical departure
from established practices un-
der the Classification Act and
the civil service regulation and
raises many questions and prob
lens"
Mr.. Macy said the csc will
make an intensive study of the
possible, means Of achieving the
detectives Of q senior civil sery-
ice" But he gave the impression
that the Commission is in no
hurry to indorse the Hoover pro-
posal and in fact will probably
come up with an alternative plan
designed to achieve the same OBJ
jectives.
