Brave Black Panther Dies In Attempt To Save Mate CHICAGO (UP A gallant black panther, aging but still full of jungle courage, fought to the death with five lions to save his mate at tile Biookfield Zoo. Visitors watched in horror on Wednesday as Snowball, a 12-year old panther from Sumatra, sprang at five lions who had been let Into his cage by mistake. Snowball never had a chance. A single blow from a huge lion's paw broke his back and he was dpid within moments. But his mate, spitting fury from a ledge in the cage, was unharmed. The lions were in the panthers' cage for only eight minutes before Mo attendants, using bars, poles, and streams of water, forced them irom Snowball's mangled body. Zoo Director Robert Bean aaid Snowball apparently sprang into battle to save the life of his mate and himself. A fluke of chance led to Snow ball's death. He and bis mate had been moved from their regular cage while ft was being cleaned. Ten minutes before feeding time, keeper Cecil Aldridge. 37. let the five hungry lions into the cage. Snowball and his mate were ly ing on a ledge when the big cats vtnllreH In The panther tensed, his muscles standing out under his sleek brack coat. His long tail twitched. Then in a single, graceful lunge of split - second fury. Snowball leaped at the advancing lions. Snowball went down under two of the lions. Then the others sprang on him with vengeful claws. The panther was probably dead within seconds, witnesses said. Snowball was past his prime. Raised In the Sumatra Jungle, he was brought to the suburban Brookficld zoo with his .mate In 1946 at the age of three. Now, at the moment of his last battle, he was 12 years old the equivalent of a 60-year old man. The lions were young and husky. Each one weighed about 300 pounds to Snowball's 175. Their average age was four or five years equivalent to a 30-year old man in the prime of life. Snowball was a beautiful beast, despite his age. His species is known as a black leopard, al though it Is commonly referred to as a black panther. His body was practically coal black.

Government officials said the chancellor would flatly reject any such proposals and would tell the Kremlin leaders there waa no hope of seducing West Germany out of her alliance with the free West. Adenauer met with his cabinet and with the Bundestag (lower house) -Foreign Affairs Committee Wednesday and warned them not' to expect too much that the main significance of the trip was that It waa the lirst direct contact with Soviet leaders.

AIRLINE RELEASED TOKYO I The Soviet Union will soon turn over Us share of the Sovlet-Koreafi Air Transport Co. to the North Korean govern ment, Pelplng radio said today. vided sutce the war he issued this pledge: 'I am going to Moscow with the firm determination to do all that is in our power to serve the cause of world peace." The unprecedented trip by the 79-year old statesman was in reply to a Soviet invitation of June 7 to oome to Moscow and ''establish diplomatic, economic and cultural relations." The talks last five days.. Government sources in Bonn said he would warn the Soviets bluntly that "normal" relations are impos sible on the basis of the status c,uo and the continued division of Germany. His price for diplomatic relations will be a public statement by the Soviets accepting the principle of German reunification and firm guarantees of a timetable by which this can be achieved. In addition, he will warn that normal relations also are impos sible as long as some 200.000 Ger mans, Including about 9.000 prison ers of war. continue' to be held in slave labor camps behind the Iron Curtain. Another important matter for Adenauer was Germany's eastern frontier. For the time being it is on the Oder-Neisse line, with Ger man territory east of that annexed by the Soviet Union and Poland. Moscow gave strong indication German unification would not even be considered now. An editorial in the Communist newspaper Pravda strongly indicated this was not con sidered a major topic of the talks. NOW RAMBLER TOPS "ALL 3" IN RESALE VALUE!
