alone § Miss Fannie our nosey neighbor doesn’t like cats either but she's not so smart She didn't have sense enough to Ignore him For years she has been running him out of her yard The other day ahe added her brother’s dog to her campaign I'm watching through the hedge as she brings out this big dog on a leash She sees the cat and sics the dog on him John Alden went up s tree When the dog got beneath him he leaped on the dog's back and "went to work The dog fled dragging Miss Fannie In a few minutes John Alden came strutting back He spies Miss Fannie picking herself up and rubknees John bing- her bruised arched his back and started stalking her Miss Fannie fled This time she went up the tree For ten minutes she hung on without a murmur while John Alden sat looking up at her Every time she started down he would ar$ bis back and howL Up she would go again Finally she let out a scream for help and I poked my head through the hedge ‘Take this beast away she screams "Now he starts attacking people" “What did you do to him?” says L "Nothing” says she says I and went into the house At supper time John Alden came home with a satisfied look on his face I fed him hamburger instead of canned dog food When he finished I got up and gave him my easy chair Tm beginning to like that animal I '"pHE biggest step toward econo my made by the Eisenhower administration to date was the recently announced decision to cut Truman's defense ' budget by $85 billion President Eisenhower said his proposed cut in appropriations would not reduce the effective military strength this country has planned for Itself and Its Allies in 1954 And it is important to note that he does not expect the cut to completely balance the budget for the year beginning July L But he declared that his administration is making progress in that direction —and thus toward cutting taxes— every day Everyone has heard the expression: "There’s more ways of skinning a cat than one” United Nations delegates at Panrounjon last week applied that thought to their talks with Communists for peace in Korea The Allies warned the Reds they might take a short cut through the snarled prisoner exchange problem by simply 32000 releasing North Koreans who don’t want to go home Allied negotiators said such action would follow a pattern created by the Reds themselves LL Gen William K Harrison told the Reds turning the prisoners free would only be following their policy of liberating prisoners at the front "Your side already has shown us the way" he said "It would seem quite appropriate that these Koreans whom we still are should be holding as prisoners released without further delay’! It was obvious observers at the scene reported that the Reds were not overjoyed with the prospect These 32000 North Koreans want to live in South Korea and would become material ’for the South Korean army At this writing the truce talks remain deadlocked over the selection of a neutral country to handle war prisoners The Allies suggest Switzerland as a neutral The Reds rejected the proposal but refuse to name their selection Unless some important break occurs within a few days it now appears that the truce talks msy come to an abrupt end with the Allies walking out The sessions have at the moment reached the g stage where they were broken off last October 9 Expenditure cuts In Washington are being extended these days beyond the federal government Congressional Quarterly reports that lobby spending last year dropped to the lowest point since passage of the Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act of 1946 According to the CQ report 257 groups reported spending $4823981 in 1952 compared with $3771096 that 295 organizations reported in 1951 Peak spending by lobby groups on record U $10303204 paid out by 340 organizations in 1950 while the lowest previously reported v was $5191856 in 1947 the first full year operation under the Act Topping all those reporting was the National Association of Electric Company which shot up from fourth place In 1951 The American Medical Association which led the pack in 1949 and again in 1950 was' second last year In third place with the Association of Americas' Railroads of |
