The security-conscious SAC is
the only command in the armed
forces using dogs strictly, for
sentry duty. A program is under
way to supply airmen sentries
at SAC bases the world - over
with canine assistants. -'. . .
Extra Precaution
; :Lt.; William jE. Mason, "sentry
dog . project offices for ; SAC,
said the . dogs " are a form of
extra insurance - that saboteurs
will not sneak into; SAC bases
to delay America's counterpunch
in case of atomic attack.- Bomb
ers from SAC bases would carry
A-bombs or H-bombs to . enemy
targets ini "instant retaliation"
if there is war. : -
SAC's watchdogs' have their
senses trained ' to " razor edge
acuteness. One dog can "secure"
and area of 30,000 square feet
Most air policemen " who have
worked with the dogs believe
they are as valuable or: more
valuable than a weapon. 'A " -
Dogs selected by, the Air
Force are not necessarily pedi
greed, but they must meet stand
ards of the American Kennel
Club . and pass physical exams
and intelligence ; and "friendli
ness" tests. , -
The dogs are given an eight
week basic training .course at
Camp Carson, Colo., and from
there are sent to various SAC
bases for advanced training. -Words
and Gestures -V;.; -.t
Handlers use both words and
gestures to, give commands. ; If
silence is needed a dog gets an
order through" a tug on the leash
or , a . motion , of the sentry's
hands. -..-- :, .
While' a V 200-pound German
Shepherd, is nothing .to. trifle
with,, the dogs are hot trained as
killers. They are taught to throw
their quarry, to the ground and
stand guard' over' him - until ; a
sentry' arrives.' :' '
Trainers have found that the
dogs are not disturbed by the
roar of jet engines,' by gunfire
or any of the other strange
sights and sounds of an air base.
The dogs are "spelled" periodi
cally like their human handlers
but have been kept on duty up
to 12 straight hours with a "high
degree of effectiveness," Mason
said . ' . 1
'.'So far the' dogs have been put
in service at SAC bases in the
United i States. But; soon, like
other soldiers, they wilL be sub
ject to transfer overseas.

John Wayne l and Bob Fellows,

fired because he, pushed a work
man into 20 v feet of cold water
on the movie location of "Blood
Alley" near , Sausalito, Calif.
But Shelley Winters .and Ann
Blyth have risen to his defense.

cided Shelley, who . acted with
the sleepy-eyed actor in, "Night
of, The . Hunter" last fall. I
For Underdog
"I was t told he was - sticking
tip for the' crew because this
man had not been nice to them.
Mitchum is. a great one for the
underdog. He's always befriend
ing people who've been pushed
around. . . " ' ' .-- . -'
"On our- picture be was always
on .time, never late. He kidded
around, yes, but never beiore
serious scenes. He never held
up production. He worked late
many times and helped me with

portance of ; the - Portland area
- "While I appreciate the fact
that Portland does not have the
industrial capacity "of such
cities as Detroit or. Pittsburgh,"
he wrote, i"yet those wchistries
in the area are of major import
ance." .. .
It is a center for production
of aluminum, he said, and Bonne

uv powder, production for the en
tire 'Northwest r including the
Seattle Aircraft; industry. -
"It would appear only logical
that -this area should be. placed
high oh your priority list for the

would appreciate your consider
tion of this matter," he 1 con
cluded. ' '

hit their highest flood crests in

Catholics to pray at mass rtoday
for relief from the floods-
Experts said ' there ' was hope
that the floods would not reach
the 1910 crest "when' much ; of

because the level; of .'the; Grand
Morin, . which caused the J other
rivers .to jump ; their ; banks ;45
years ago, ; Saturday,' was drop
