She was at home last week when a reporter went by. "Here," said Mrs. Oswald genially, "have a press release...
Died. Gerald de Bary, 37, Swiss-born director (since 1955) of the Salt Lake City zoo; 30 hours after being bitten by an African puff adder, one of the world's deadliest snakes; in Salt Lake City.
