Hew Offers Fail
In New York City
Newspaper Strike
Dispute Wide In
Area of Salaries
New York (UPD Publishers
and the striking printers un
ion Saturday night made new
contract proposals but failed
to reach any area of agree
ment that would end the 36
day newspaper strike.
After five hours of talks
the first concrete bargaining
since the strike began the
two sides remained far apart,
especially in the area of
wages.
Joint negotiations were con
cluded Saturday with both
parties subject to call by fed-
era I mediators. Mediators
planned to meet separately
with publishers and printers
today.
"I don't think we have made
any progress today," said
Amory H. Bradford, chief ne
gotiator for the Publishers As
sociation of New York City,
after the talks broke up.
Totally Inadequate
Bertram A. 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
previous offer was an $8 pack
age with an additional fourth
week vacation after a 15-year
period.
The printers then made a
counter-offer of an $18 wage
increase over two years and
five days per year sick leave;
they also insisted on keeping
proposals for reduction of
hours and other clauses. The
previous demand was $19 in
wage increases over two
years, a fourth week of vaca
tion, and an increase in sick
leave from one to five days a
year. 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.

San Diego
In Attack
San Diego, Calif. -(UPD- A
black leopard escaped Into a
safety enclosure behind its
cage at the San Diego zoo
Saturday and fatally mauled
a veteran zoo keeper as sev
eral horrified spectators
watched.
Witness said the 125-pound
cat named Jet took one swipe
at James Tuttle, 35, Enclnitas,
Calif., ripping off his left ear
and opening arteries In his
neck. Tuttle, a senior keeper
and 10-year zoo employee,
died en route to the Naval
hospital.
After the lightning attack,
the big cat started down a
path in Cat canyon toward
the public area of the zoo
but Augle Campos, a zoo em
ployee, grabbed a bamboo
pole and forced the animal

By Black Leopard
back into his cage.
"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. He said Jet
would not be destroyed.
Frank Bonnet, a chief zoo
security officer, said Tuttle
was feeding animals when the
attack occurred.
"I don't think he saw it
coming," Bonnet said.
A coroner's deputy said Tut
tle suffered a severed carotid
artery and a possible broken
neck.
Other zoo official carrying
k
drawn revolvers ran to the
aid of Campos. A few of the
thousands of vijitors at the
zoo heard the leopard's sav
age growls, but only a few
were aware of the fatal at
tack. The attack was witnessed by
Rick Adams, 14, Arcadia, Cal
if., and his adult companions,
Mrs. James Bonaparte and
Jean B. Bonaparte, both of
Monrovia, Calif.
Jet Is a nine-year-old leop
ard born in Griffith Park zoo
In Los Angeles. It was
brought here in 1954. Offi
cials said it was the second
fatal attack in zoo history.
Some 20 years ago a keeper
was mauled and killed by a
bear as he attempted to go
to the aid of another zoo
worker.
