^Siam’s' Popular
But Still Lonely
*
(By LYNN HEINZERLINGT)
(/P) Newsfeatures
BERLIN—Siam, the 25-year-old
elephant bull who took up resi
dence in the Berlin Zoo the same
year Adolf Hitler moved into the
German Chancellory ,1933, is still
shuffling around in his compound
there, but his eight best friends
died in the war.
The eight friends, all elephants,
were killed during the heavy air
.aids on Berlin, which together
with the dwindling food supplies
very nearly depopulated the zoo,
once one of the best in the world.
There are now only about 200 an
imals left in the zoo and they are
living in the sorry ruins of a once
gay and popular establishment.
Cages are all askew in many
parts of the zoo. The heavy net
ting of the aviary was pierced in
many places by heavy bomb frag
ments. Walks are broken and the
grass is untended. Nevertehless
the zoo is open for business and
both Germans and Allied troops
are frequent visitors.
Peanuts are not forthcoming
and Siam shows it. His thick hide
hangs about him like a GI blan
ket. The elephant is now fed on a
diet of potato peels and weeds.
The good hay is saved for the ze
bras which have been losing
weight lately. The rhinoceros like
wise is on a diet of potato peelings
and a poor grade of hay.
The parrots came through the
rough days of the war in the best
shape and there is a large and
noisy selection of them. The mon
keys are having a bad time. They
are eating lettuce, cabbage, tur
nips and spoiled potatoes instead
of the bananas, figs, dates, fruit
and nuts they once got.
The management had to do |
away with the sea lions and pen
guins entirely because of their
rich diet. In the old days, the
keepers used to drop fresh her
ring into their big mouths at the
rate of several hundred pounds a
day.
Australia Provides
Victuals For Britain
CANBERRA, Australia, (/P) —
Australia during the war sent
Britain 9.8 billion pounds of food
worth more than half a billion
dollars. In the last two years about
360,000,000 pounds of food was
supplied the British Admiralty,
about two-third for the Pacific
Fleet. The fleet now has moved
its base from Sydney to Hong
kong but still depends largely on
Australia for food.

Money Nightmares
Plague Hungarians
(By A. I. GOLDBERG)
(aP) Newsfeatures
BUDAPEST—Hungary today is
broke and getting broker every
minute in a mad dream world of
printing press banknotes.
It is a nation with 1,000 years of
independence housing and feed
ing an occupation army variously
estimated at from 750,000 to 1,
000,000—po official figure is avail
able.
Reparations Headache
It knows that it must pay in six
years $300 million in reparations
to Russia, Yugoslavia and Czecho
slovakia, and try meantime to bol
ster an internal economy, restore
factories, build up agricultural
production, prove that it can be a
democracy, settle minority prob
lems, and try to live at peace with
neighbors who fought on the right
side of the United Nations ledger.
1 he Hungarians argue that Ger
man pressure put them into the
war where defeat found them and
that German economic domination
made their path a one-way,
wrong-way road.
There are many who fought
them who agree, and the spectacle
of Soviet Russia and the United
States in a mild race to restore
Hungary’s diplomatic status, with
the hope that industrial and eco
nomic revival might follow, is one
aspect of that attitude.
But the printing press bank
notes make for wonderment.
In the days when the English
pound sterling was worth $4.86,1
an American dollar bill bought
about five Hungarian pengos.
Going Up
shortly before the war the
pengo was worth about 10 cents.
By mid-August Americans in
Budapest on occupation missions,
paid in American currency, were
: buying 1.200 to 1,500 pengos to the
dollar. At October’s beginning.
Halibut Fishers
Refuse To Strike
SEATTLE, April 17, (yp)_The
halibut men of the deep sea fish
eries union voted 176 to 36 against
the strike proposed as a protest
against the Price Administration’s
refusal to raise halibut ceiling
prices. Canadian fishermen,
watching the Seattle returns were
expected to follow the local lead.
Strike votes are being taken by
the union branches in Ketchikan,
Petersburg, and Juneau, but the
total couldn’t effect the decision,
union officials said.

day 15,000, the third day 18,000.
And the end is not in sight as the
printing presses roll.
