Powers, presi dent of the printers union, called the new offer by pub lishers totally Inadequate." The publishers offered an $8.50 wage and fringe benefit package over a two year pe- iod with an added fourth week of vacation after 10 years' ser vice on the same job.

The counter-offer Sat urday, night dropped the wage demand by $1 and also eliminated the fourth week of vacation. The two sides were still $10 per week apart in wages. "We made the only remain, ing step available to us and all we received (from the printers) is a reduction from $19 to $18 in wage demands and a slight change in other clauses," said Bradford.

Tuttle, a senior keeper and 10-year zoo employee, died en route to the Naval hospital.

"I kept hitting at his eyes," Campos said. "Finally the leopard backed into his own cage and I slammed the door." Dr. George Pournelle, cu rator of mammals at the zoo, theorized that Tuttle appar ently threw the wrong lever among the several regulating the movement of animals from cage to cage.
