Phone 1150 Wife Of Famed Explorer Still Yearns For Jungles By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK UP) Osa John son, the first lady of the jungle, lives on Park Avenue now and it makes her homesick for the serenity of Africa. "I like my jungles because I don't have any competition there," she laughed. "Here you get Invited to dinner and right away you start worry ing, 'what shall I wear and what will so-and-so wear?' "But there I can wear Khaki trousers and hunting boots and put my little gun on my shoulder and go out into the jungle and feel I am queen of all I survey. I can look up at the blue, blue sky and feel all Africa Is mine." She said she was going back, too, for one last trek to the land whose wild life was filmed by her explorer husband, Martin Johnson, as she stood guard with a gun. Johnson was killed In a plane l crash in California in 1937, and Osa was badly Injured. Stcret Valley "I have a secret valley," she said. "I can't iell you where it is. It has never been explored, but Martin and I always vowed we would go back. It's teeming with big game lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalo everything. There must be at least a million head of big game in that valley." She is planning an expedition consisting of two station wagons, six jeeps with trailers, and a helicopter. "I can flutter over In the hell copter and tickle the backs of elephants and ostriches.

They lose their color and become wishy washy. But a wild zebra he looks like black and white satin, sleek and fat and glossy. And the giraffe he's a gorgeous bronze. He glistens in the sun." Osa has kept busy since her husband's death. She has publish ed nine books and is now writing four more for children, based on the life stories of her own animal pets. She is also completing a cookbook of exotic recipes, pre paring for a lecture tour and negotiating a television contract. She has a library of 2.000.0C0 feet or film taken by her husband on their travels. Now 55, Osa Is still as vivacious and energetic as the day she mar ried Johnson at 16. "I thought we'd live In Chanute, Kan., and grow a couple of kids and a vegetable garden, she said. "But Martin had an itchy foot. So I went off to the Jungle with him, and I fell in love with it, too." She estimates she has traveled "roughly 1,500,000 miles" in her career. Osa's favorite hobbies are fish ing and cooking, and she spends a lot of time in her kitchen. "I'll bet you," she said, "I'm the only girl on Park Avenue who bakes her own bread."
