San Franciscan Contributes $7,600 to Zoo San Francisco -(IJPD- Most generous benefactor of the San Francisco Zoo is a slight, wispy-haired Chinese Ameri can gentleman who enjoys playing ring - around-the-rosy with two gorillas in their cage. . He is Carroll Soo-Hoo, 50. an automation trouble-shooter at Mare Island Naval Ship yard, Vallejo. A bachelor, his hobby is buying animals and supplies for Fleishhacker Zoo, In the past two years boo Hoo has contributed more than $7,600 to the San Fran Cisco Zoological Society. The money bought, among other things, a pair of bat-eared, spotted Cape hunting dogs from South Africa, a Demar- aland zebra, a species rapidly becoming extinct, a pair of cheetahs, slide projectors ana a complete set of locks for the zoo's cages because someone stole a skeleton key to the old ones.. Next, Soo-Hoo wants to get a gnu for the zoo. Also, a pair of African elephants. Soo-Hoo visits the zoo vir tually every Saturday and ; Sunday and because of his generosity is given special privileges. One of these is go ing into the gorilla cage to feed and romp with Bwana 2V4, and Missus, 4, his favor ites among all the animals. "I guess I won't be able to go In with them very mucn longer," he said. "They're getting pretty big, I wear a heavy coat ad safety glasses and got a bloody nose once, but they never hurt me on purpose. . A native of San Rafael Calif., Soo-Hoo was the young est of 10 children of Presby terian missionaries. There weren't many toys, so young Carroll- adopted backyard fauna such as ants, spiders, snails, slugs and spiders. , He always had goldfish, frogs, . salamanders, guinea pigs, white mice and avidly read all of the Tarzan books, Every once In a while he went to the zoo "but never often enough." When he grew up he came across San Francisco Bay to visit the zoo more often. One day two years ago he noticed a plaque telling how a woman donated a rhino to the zoo. That's what got him started donating animals. Soo-Hoo supplements his In come with astute dealing in the stock market. He has set up a trust fund to continue the buying of animals long after he is gone. "I figure I'm executing my own will," Soo-Hoo said. "I don't enjoy hoarding money.' I can't eat it. I have a small stomach, I could buy a new car every year, but there's no depreciation on an animal for the zoo. And others enjoy the gift as much as I do." ' A man as fond of animals as Soo-Hoo might be expected to have pets at home, But the only wildlife at his Berkeley home are a few gold fish and a neighbor's Pekingese that he "shares" when the owners are away. Waff Street Chatter New York -0IPD- The stock market still shows consider able forward momentum, but has reached a point where purchases should be made more cautiously, according to Standard & . Poor's Corp. S&P's weekly publication "Outlook," says that at the moment, optimism is so ramp ant that the market rise could carry to even greater heights. However, it warns that shifts in sentiment are difficult to predict, and notes that the risk element has mounted as the advance has progressed. Outlook's general advice is "maintain holdings, except for profit taking in situations that have greatly outdistanced their prospects." MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD.

SSRS says the venture seems "most promising" and sparks the hope for important sales and earnings gains, Bache & Co. says Harsco Corp. could be an interesting speculative holding for an up turn in business. It also notes that the short term potential of Marquardt Aircraft was en hanced on Monday when the stock broke out of a signifi cant base formation with good volume.
