Take Up Arms to
I Save “Mr. Magoo”
DULUTH, Minn. t.T — Duluth
citizens and officialdom marshal
led forces Saturday to save Mr.
Magoo, pet mongoose at the city
zoo, from the death sentence
passed on him by federal agents.
The animal, gift of a foreign
seaman who visited here last week,
has been ordered destroyed by the
Fish and Wildlife Service.
His presence in this country
is outlawed by a 1909 law, say the
government agents, because of the
mongoose’s reputed ability to re
produce rapidly, sometimes at the
rate of six litters a year.
Pooh-pooh, chorus the backers
of Mr. Magoo, citing that he is a
bachelor who has become a fea
ture attraction at the zoo. The
city even has offered to have him
| desexed.
No good, answer the federal
authorities, that’s the law. . .
Mayor George Johnson is seek
ing a reprieve for Mr. Magoo in
a personal wire to Secretary of
the Interior Stewart Udall. Mean
while he has ordered the city at
torney to seek a court restraining
order against the execution.
The keepers have padlocked Mr.
Magoo’s cage and report they have
thrown away the key. Citizens
are circulating petitions, wiring
and writing their congressmen.
Mr. Magoo continues to enjoy his
drink of tea now and then. And,
tamed by his former sailor owner,
he nestles contentedly against the
neck of any keeper who picks him
up, just as though there wasn’t
any such thing as a death sentence.

land: “Be late, Mr. Jones—not the
late Mr. Jones.” In Delaware:
‘Take your time, not your life.
Drive safely.”
