Inc., an independent invest igating agency here, as listing 258 "dollar-a-year men" serving various agencies during June with 188 of these in the Office of Production Management. - WOMEN URGED TO FIND WASHINGTON T Coach Dogs, or Dalmatians, were bred in the Elegant Eighties to follow smart carriages.
