Loose Lion Disappoints; Never Lets Out One Growl Nikita Seeks To Ban China From Summit Conference NEW YORK 'AP' - Peanuts, pink popcorn and a lion on the loose. The latter was inadvertent ly served up to about 2,000 per sons attending a dress rehearsal Thursday night of the Ringling Bros.-Barnum and Bailey Circus at Madison Square Garden. I Putting on an impromptu, and terrifying, act for about 10 min utes was Ponto, heavily maned. B00-pnund lion, said to be one of the largest of his species in cap tivity. He was finally recaptured in the lobby. No one was injured. Ponto broke through a door of his cage and started roaming around the big arena while a tiger and lion act was in progress. Temporarily king of all he sur veyed, he leaped over the arena rail into a section of seats whicn luckily happened to be sparsely populated. Some spectators slood their around, not knowing what else to do. Others scattered. Hans N'aumann. the lion's trainer, dashed after Ponto with I whip, chair and pistol. Ponto j headed for the lobby. It immedi jately emptied. Apparently the huge beast was following the scent to other ani mals in the basement menagerie He vainly tried to tear down the locked door to the baseir-ent. Frustrated, he tried to climb on to a telephone booth in the lobby. Men with an aerialisfs net cor nered him there. With N'aumann directing, a cage on rubber tires was wheeled in. and Ponto was safely stored away. The perspiring trainer said Pon to had neer given him trouble before. One thing was missing. Ponto never let go with even one roar. LAD DIES PORTLAND 'AP' - Calvin Thomas Kelley, S, collapsed and died at his home here Thursday.
