QUEST ON BEHALF OF BRONX ZOO
(Rec, 6.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 22, Mr John Teevan, a Bronx Zoo representative, is going to Australia, where he hopes to obtain the world’s largest collection of animal rarities, including Australia’s koala bear, platypus and ant-eater, also New Zealand’s Kiwi and China’s Panda. The zoo has arranged to fly daily quantities of special eucalyptus leaves from California if a koala is made available to the zoo. Mr Teevan is travelling 35000 miles by air. Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese Commander-in-Chief, has arranged for a panda to be handed over to the zoo in appreciation of America’s relief efforts on behalf of China.
