Members of the Senate are
so pleased with initial beauti-
fication Of their side of the
Capitol grounds that they have
ordered removal of a second
parking lot.
This was learned today as the
work of eliminating a first
graveled lot east of the Senate

The second lot now has a
blac&-topped surface. This will
be torn up and removed. Each
lot is about one acre in size.
New topsoil is now being
spread on the first lot, and the
same treatment will be given
the second, in advance of sod

Majority Leader Mansfield

KEEPERS STAGE RESCUE
Hungry Zoo Babies Safe
By JERRY O'LEARY, Jr.
Star Staff Writer

Two newborn Zoo babies can
look forward to long and happy
lives as a result of twin rescues
carried out at the Washington
Zoo today.
In an operation that is not
as callous as it sounds, keepers
successfully separated Maggie
the black-faced chimpanzee
from her 4-day-old infant.
And a baby Barbary ape was
successfully taken away from a
female ape kidnaper and re-
turned to her mother.
Maggie is a good and willing
mother, as some animals are
not, but Keeper Bernie Gala
CHER says she simply was un-
able to feed her infant.
The chimpanzee baby is a
tiny thing but she needs IL
ounces of milk a day to survive
and Zoo authorities didn't be-
lieve she was getting enough
to eat.
That has happened to Mag
gle twice before. The first Off
spring of Maggie'S mating to
Jiggs, the burly male, was a
winsome female named Vicki
Jean. Mr.. and Mrs. Gallagher
raised Vicki Jean in their own
home when Maggie's milk sup
ply failed. The same thing
happened when Donnie. a male,
was born to the chimpanZee
pair. Once again the Gsllagh-
ers stepped in, managed to sep
arate Maggie from her infant
and successfully raised Donnie
in a home environment with
human baby bottles and for
mula.
Both Vicki Jean an Donnie
have long since departed to star
in the Detroit Zoo aquatic
show. Vicki Jean made the big
time but Donnie proved too
spoiled to be an actor.
The problem facing Mr.. Gal
lagher and Acting Headkeeper
Bert Barker was to separate
Maggie from the newborn
chimp so she can be bottle fed.
Mr.. Gallagher managed it
simply enough. He just dis
tracted Maggie with some fruit
and got into the cage long
enough to remove the baby
when Maggie put her offspring
down. J. Lear Grimmer, asso-
ciate director of the Zoo, said
the little chimp is now being
raised in an incubator and is
assured Of a constant food
supply.
The kidnapping case involved
an aging female Barbary Ape
who occupied a cage with the
mother Of q baby ape born just
yesterday. The young mother
is well able to feed her offspring
but the old ape snatched the
tiny one away from the true
mother soon after the birth and
had not since relinquished her
hold on the infant.
Naturally, the zoo keepers
point out. the old ape is unable
to feed the infant and the
mother apparently had forgot
ten all about her baby.
1t is no easy matter to sepa-
rate baby animal from an
adult, whether it be the true
mother or just an animal SUI
fering from a frustrated mother
complex.
Barbary apes, in particular,
are vicious and sharp-toothed
creatures. g.
However, Mr.. Grimmer said.
the keepers got the baby away
from the ape with the frus-
trated mother complex by ply

ing the kidnaper with food.
This caused a furore in the
cage. When the interloper put
the baby ape down to go after
the food, the true mother
grabbed her baby and held on
tightly.

Keepers then separated the

and there is every expectation
that the mother will carry on
