Lonely Hearts Problems
Solved by Zoo Keepers

The Zoo took steps yesterday
to cure an elephants loneliness.
In September the park ac-
quired Nancy. a 700-pound AZ
rican elephant about two-and-a-
half years old. Keepers appro-
Ipriated a section of the hippos'
cage space, walled it of and
put Nancy in 1t.
She didn't go for the idea of
being in there by herself. Her
pacing got worse and her ner-
vousness grew daily. A plain case
Of too much solitude, Zoo men
decided.
Yesterday another baby ele-
phant was herded into the pen,
This one is Dixie, an Indian
pachyderm, weighing 100 pounds
less and about Is months old.
The two of them are getting
along famously.
Keepers explained That they
had toyed for a while with the
idea Of putting a goat in with
Nancy to give her company. But
they thought about the chance
of Nancy putting her foot down
and decided another elephant
was the best answer. Dixie is
the solution. She was obtained
from the Won Brothers circus
Over in the bird house the
situation is different.
A bit more than a month ago,
the zoo received about 80 para
keets from Mrs. 7. z. Wheeler

Channel Plan
Speeds Traffic
On Shirley

Morning rush-hour driving
time has been cut in half in g
traffic control experiment on q
congested section of Shirley
highway, the Bureau Of Public
Roads has reported.
o. K. Normann, bureau re-
search engineer, said the average
travel time for northbounc
traffic from Seminary road tt
Arlington Ridge road has beer
cut from 10 minutes at ar
average rush-hour speed of II
miles per hour to to 7.8 minutes
for an average speed Of rs miles
an hour.
The experiment began Thurs
day on the 3.3-mile stretch of
highway. TRAFFIC is being chan
nelized from access roads by
means of rubber traffic cones,
signs and policemen. This keeps
motorists from switching lanes
once they are on Shirley high
way. Safer traffic conditions and
less driver tension have re-
suited. and motorists are CO.
operating almost 100 per cent,
Mr.. Normann said.
Mr.. Normann said the move-
lment Of vehicles between Glebe
and Arlington Ridge roads in
creased from peak Of $500 x
$3.50 an hour. The time and
movement figures are based on
studies conducted on 10 days in
September and October and on
Thursday and yesterday.
Some Of the 800 vehicles COM
ing from Shirlington circle are
the only ones involved that have
experienced a slightly longer
delay in getting on Shirley

Mr.. Parran declared his route
would give riders an uninter-

posed D. C. Transit service
would force passengers on the

loss of $4,000 in 1855 but at

WASHINGTON, R-Fish and Wildlife Service officials are opti- mistic Alaskan salmon runs are headed back to previous peaks.
 The finny harvest bounced back strongly this last summer after several seasons of low catch.
 Seton Thompson, chief of the Alaska fisheries division of Fish and Wildlife, said it may be quite a while" before red salmon runs are back to par because of that fish's five-year life cycle.
 With any luck in natural condi- tions, however, he expects runs of pink salmon with its shorter two-year life cycle to be back to peak levels within two years.
 Thompson said the depart ment's No. l program to rebuild the depleted runs still is regula- tion of fishermen and seasons.
 It also has a program of stream improvement directed at remov- ing waterfalls or other barriers which block passage of fish.
 One of the principal parts of this program is removal of some 30 to 50 beaver dams year in the Cook Inlet area.
 Studies also are under way 10 determine the extent of the pred ator problem.
