...that Marlin Perkins, 59, director of the St. Louis Zoo, gets into the act in each weekly episode of NBC's Wild King dom. Last Sunday's "Cattail Country" also had Perkins skimming around the lake in an airboat helping Government conservationists on a duck-banding roundup; on the same show Assistant Jim Fowler was in the Grand Tetons watching a beaver repair a broken dam and following a wet mink on a muskrat hunt...
...party flew to Austin's Driskill Hotel, waded into the bedlam of newsmen, TV cameras and well-wishers who attended Johnson's every movement. Solemn, scarcely smiling, he shook hands with several people, at length slipped into a suite, where again he checked the TV election roundup. But Lyndon couldn't sit still.

Missing from their homes last week were Ferhat Abbas, onetime F.L.N. chief and former president of the National Assembly, and Mohammed Boudiaf, a former Politburo member. Another former Ben Bella prison mate, ex-Vice Premier Rabah Bitat, was reported under house arrest...
...speeches. Washington's Fine Arts Commission, which took the anti-druidic view in 1962, has now finally approved the design after some changes were made, including the addition of an 18-foot-tall statue of the President. But the memorial still didn't pass the last roundup. At a Hyde Park meeting, Anna Roosevelt Halstead, 58, James, 56, Elliott, 53, John, 48, and Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., 49, unanimously voted firm opposition. "We don't like it," said James. "And I'm sure father wouldn't either...
