Man Foodless
For Seven Davs
Juneau, Alaska, Dec. 14 (P)
Both feet frozen, D. B. Mercado,
'ifl, said today he had lived for
seven days without food after
a trolling boat turned over in
St. James bay, drowning his
partner.
Reported lost was Andy Haff
ner, 59.
Mercado, known to fishermen
as "Filipino Mack," was brought
to Juneau today by the coast
guard after a searching party
found him in a small cabin at
Boat Harbor.
He said he and his partner
were anchored in St. James bay
when a storm came up and over
turned their boat. As it sank,
he said, Haffner forced open a
door and swam to the surface.
Mercado smashed the pilot
house door to escape. He heard
cries for a moment, then silence.
Reaching shore barefooted,
Mercado remained in the woods
for a day and then made his way
to the unoccupied cabin and
awaited rescue. He could find
j no matches with which to start
a fire. The boots he made of
i cotton ripped from a matress in
the cabin were not enough to
keep his feet from freezing.

I Needed on CVA
Washington, Dec. 14 (IF) Sen-
j ator Cain (D., Wash.) said today
:- he agrees with Chairman Chavez
i (D., N.M.) of the senate public
works committee that a hearing
J in the Pacific northwest on the
I Columbia valley administration
: bill would require at least a
it.
,ij And, Cain said, the hearing
i should be held by the full public
S works committee or at least a
'f majority of it, not by a subcom-
mittee. Eight democrats and
.i five republicans make up the
,t committee, with Cain tne ranK
J ing republican,
j "I think in fairness to the
country and the people of the
i Pacific northwest," Cain told a
I reporter, "that a majority, at
( least, of the committee should
5 be present. At tne minimum
tne neanng snouia oe auoueu
a full month. Less than that
would be unfair to the people
of the Columbia river basin and
not give the committee the in
formation it needs to pass on the
administration bill."

he barricaded himself. In a three-hour gun orgy Peden
fatally wounded a state patrolman and shot and wounded
three other persons. Peden, now held at the King county

Happy Little Pup May Be
Biggest Nuisance in Town
Portland. Dec. 14 VP) That happy little pup that brightens your
life may be the biggest nuisance in town.
Portland s nuisance expert says so. And it lsn t tunny.
For 21 years John C. Munk has been with the city nuisance
bureau. People tell him about nuisances.
"People who have gardens
have violent ideas about dogs,'
he said as he prepared to retire
to a more non-controversial life.
For that matter: "People who
have dogs have violent ideas
about anybody who doesn't think
these animals are the best ex
amples of the Lord's handiwork.'"
Munk, personally, likes dogs.
But as head of the nusiance bu
reau he wishes they had sense
enough to slay away from
neighbor's gardens.
He also wishes people would
get together on the subject of
vacant lots. Seems the differ
ence comes in whom owns them.
Non-owners want them cleaned
up; owners don't want to do it
or pay the city for it. And, says
Munk, they put him right in the
middle of the squabble.

Unhappy Ending to

'TAYLOR-MADE TICKETS', -
Cop on the Corner Figures:
Treat Public Like People
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Dec. 14 (U.R) The way the cop on the corner looks
at it, you've got to treat the public like people.
The cop in this case is Pvt. Ray Taylor of the Washington traf
fic division. He guards life and limb at one of the busiest
intersections in the world, Fourteenth and Pennsylvania, three
blocks from where President
Truman lives.
Taylor, who is tough enough
to lick his weight in pedestrians,
is one of the most popular offi
cers in town.
Unless it's necessary, he does
n't have a blackjack, a revolver
or a tough word for anybody
and his boss, Capt. Lorain John
son, will back me up on that.
...
The private, father of two and
a man who claims he takes most
of his orders from his wife in
stead of his captain, is only 31.
He has a reputation for being
able to smooth things out with
his hand-waving and his whistle.
He's proved it time and again.
Not long ago, a local driver,
who should have known better,
made a left turn at the officer's
corner. Taylor urst gave ,tne
man a "hand signal."
That didn t work, so he tootl
ed his whistle. That worked.
"I had to give the man a
ticket," the private said.
Later the offender, who ap
parently realized the cop on the
corner had been pretty nice
about it, came around and apolo
gized in person.
Officer 863, as the private
sometimes is known around the
neighborhood, doesn't pull his
punches when a punch is what is
called for. He'd give his brother
a ticket if the brother deserved
one. In fact, some pretty big
names in Washington have re
ceived "Taylor-made" tickets.
Mostly, though, he works on
his theory that "people should

oe seen and not hurt, some
thing he made up himself.
"A guy behind the wheel of
a car made of steel has a lot bet
ter chance of living than a guy
who is walking across the street.
I give the walker a break," he
said.
But even in protection of the
walker, the most polite copper
in Washington keeps his manners.
He'll get out his whistle on
you if you walk against the
light, -but he'll "sir" you to the
point where you'll be humble
and most likely wind up by
thanking him for sirring you.
Not long ago a woman pedes
trian took a chance against the
lights at Taylor's corner. He
hand-waved and that didn't do
any good. He used the whistle.
The lady stopped and gave
our friend a slice of her tongue.
She added to the insult with:
You young whipper-snapper.
you. You changed the light on
me."
The copper "yes m'amed" her.
She thanked him with "you
dear boy, you," and went on her
way.
Taylor easily handles the coun
try drivers who come in here
from Urich, Mo., Farmer City,
111., and other places where traf
fic isn't much of a problem.
The officer kills 'em all with
kindness.
