Damaged eyeglasses repaired or replaced for one year at no California condor in critical shape with shot wounds SAN DIEGO (AP) A captive California condor with seven shotgun pellet wounds was in critical condition yesterday at a San Diego animal park with lead poisoning, park officials said. "It's a sick bird.

There's no question about that It's critical," said Art Risser, general curator of birds for the Zoological Society of San Diego. The ailing bird was captured Friday at the beginning of a roundup of the last six California condois known to survive in the wild. The nearly extinct condor, with a wing-span of about 10 feet, is the largest of all North American birds. The lead level in the condor's, blood yesterday was 4.2 parts per million "considered a lethal level," said Tom Hanscom, a spokesman for San Diego Wild Animal Park. The lead level had been 1.5 parts per million when the bird's blood was tested last month after a sample was taken in the wild, Risser said.

The treatment would continue five more days, he said. "We're guardedly optimistic about it at this point," Risser said by telephone. "We've had birds that have higher lead levels than this one (and still survived), but it has even a higher lead level than when it was sampled Nov. 23." Twenty-one other condors are being held at the San Diego park and at the Los Angeles Zoo, where wildlife officials hope they will breed birds to release into the wild.

"A few people got stepped on by horses." At least 100 tactical officers from police districts around the city were at the rally, Martin said. One police officer was treated for a minor injury after being hit in the head by a brick, Cunningham said. The injured included five Tribune employees, said company spokesman Robert Dickey. The injuries were believed to be minor, according to police, union and company spokesmen.

Those injured sustained cuts and scrapes after being hit by rocks and were taken by private cars to hospitals, police said. Twenty-six of those arrested were charged with disorderly conduct after violence broke out about 5 a.m., said Deputy Police Chief Leroy Martin. Nine others were arrested by yesterday afternoon, most on charges of disorderly conduct, said pol'ce spokesman Tom Cunningham. One man was charged with destroying property, Cunningham said. Mounted police quickly brought yesterday morning's crowd outside the plant under control, said City Attorney Dan Welter, who was called to the scene by police.

Tony Palucci, a striking mailer who was hit above the right eye by a brick, said the violence began when strikers tried to block the trucks and police moved in.

Dickey said windows were broken on several delivery trucks, but he did not know how many trucks were damaged. He said the company, which had filed suit Thursday in an attempt to prevent the rally, had not decided whether to take further court action.

I The Tribune and attorneys for the three production unions, which have been on strike since July, signed an agreement before a Cook County Circuit Court judge Friday, promising they would not interfere with one another at the mass rally. The Chicago Typographical Union No. 16, Chicago Web Printing Pressman's Union No. 7 and Chicago Mailers Union No. 2 have been on strike since July 18.

The Tribune has continued to publish, using mostly workers brought in from outside the city. I I BZPUg TP PRICES EFFECTIVE TilHU JAM. 11, 1986. AT LEAST i i ALL MERCHANDISE!
