(Associated Preaa Photo) PUIS STRAIN ON 'LOMATIC TIE SYDNEY (UP) By hastily chang ing tho name of a polar beer In the local zoological gardens from "Kosci usko" to "Polar", zoo officials are convinced they have averted an Inter national Incident. The too, which Is operated by the Taronga. Park Trust, had decided, to call the polar bear, "Kosciusko," be cause there seemed to be some affin ity between the snow-capped moun tains In Mew South Wales and the Icy regions which are the natural Daunts of the polar bear. The name - appeared innocent enough and the bear appeared quite hsppy. Unfortunately, a copy of "Walk- About" published by the Australian National Travel association, contain lng a photograph of the bear with his baptismal name fell Into the bands of the historic Polish family, Boleulaw Slrzeleckl, chairman of the fltrze Ifckl family committee, who Immedi ately sent the following ultimatum to the editor of "Walkabout"; "It Is really unbelievable that civilized Australian magazine could use great foreign heroes names for their zoological exhibits. I would highly appreciate your apology be fore I would be compelled to file my protest to the department of state and the Polish embassy In Washing ton. For your Information, the Gen eral Kosciusko was a great Polish patriot, and It is very unethical to use hts name In such a manner." To prevent a possible international Incident the "Walkabout" appealed Immediately to the Taronga Park Trust, the latter to the Australian government and authorization waa granted to change the bear's birth certificate from "Kosciusko" to Polar."
