Air Force Seeks Dogs With
Wet Noses and Bright Eyes
Washington (U.R) The Air
Force is in the market for Ger
man shepherd dogs with wet
noses and bright eyes.
Listing a set of particulars
that few soldiers have, the Air
Force specifications read as fol
lows:
(The dog) ". . . must be sound.
sturdy . . . working type, re
vealing evidence of power, en-
durance and energy . . . Good
bone, well-proportioned body,
deep chest . . . With good teeth
and healthy gums .
"Eyes should be clear and
bright . , . Should be easy keep
er in good health and condition.
And as far as temperament
goes, the dog "should show gen
eral alertness, steadiness, vigor
and responsiveness." The Air
Force made it clear that it does
not want "timid" or "nervous"
dogs.
Eight Week's Training
The Air Force said these spe
cifications apply both to female
and male dogs. The Army,
through its quartermaster sec
tion, usually does the purchas
ing for its sister service.
It buys about 50 dogs a month
at prices ranging from SI to
$150 and then ships them to the
Army Dog Training Center at
Ft Carson, Colo. After an eight
week "basic," with volunteer
air policemen training under
expert handlers, the dogs are
ready for action.
They are sent to permanent
duty guarding valuable aircraft
and supplies at various installa
tions. The Air Force said it al
ready has 2.000 canine sentries
posted at world-wide facilities.
"Brainwashed"
For this type of duty, the
shepherds must have "well-cushioned
paws" with "ribs well
sprung" and be between one and
three years old. The Air Force
explained that it's pretty diffi
cult to teach an old dog new
tricks such as chasing, attacking
and holding any intruder all at
the command of the handler.
"Experience has proved," an
Air Force spokesman said, "that
the capabilities of an air police
man working with a sentry dog
far exceed those of a lone human
being."
The Army said owners of
shepherd dogs who are interest
ed in selling should contact the
Office of the Quartermaster
General, Remount Section,
Washington 25, D.C.
And if the dog gets too old
for guard duty, the Army sends
them to another school before
they are "discharged." The dog:

Large Solar Furnace
Plans Announced
Phoenix, Ariz. (U.R) The As
sociation for Applied Solar Ener
gy, which sponsored a world-
wide symposium on the subject
here last January, has announced
plans to build a large solar fur
nace in the area.
Jan Oostermeyer, president of
the association, said technicians
have inspected the huge furnace
at Mont Luis, France, where pio
neer experiments in utilization
of solar energy have been made.
He said data researched at the
French installation will be used
in designing the Arizona furnace.
He said the association hopes
to "render a real service to Amer
ican industry by making similar
facilities available in Arizon;
where 300 days of intense sun
shine can be utilized each year."
He said a team of engineers
from Stanford Research Institute,
which founded the solar energy
association, will begin an analy
sis cf solar radiation data from
various locations in Arizona for
the purpose of selecting the most
suitable location for the proposed
furnace.
As plans progress, Ooster
meyer said. American industries
and institutions which have spe
cific interest in high temperature
research facilities will be kept in
formed. He added the association
plans to seek private industrial
funds to help pay for the furnace

60P Official
Explains Leifers
About Party Funds
Washington (U.R) GOP na
tional committeeman J. H. Por
ter of Texas said today letters
he wrote to two unsuccessful
aspirants for postmasterships
were routine solicittions for
party funds.
This was as far as Porter
would go in commenting on a.i
investigation by a Senate Civil
Service Subcommittee into
charges of alleged GOP job-selling
and other postal irregular
ities in Texas. Porter is expected
to be called when the hearings
resume Thursday.
Porter, who helped swing tra
ditionally Democratic Texas to
President Eisenhower four years
ago, was brought into the in
vestigation Tuesday.
The subcommittee produced
letters signed by him seeking
GOP contributions from two un
successful applicants for postmas
terships in two small Texas
towns. The applicants Mrs.
Maggie P. Wilder of Sylvester
and Mrs. Clara K. Childs of
Bluegrove said they thought
the contributions were to pay for
"processing" their applications
and gave the amounts requested
$10 from Mrs. Wilder and $125
from Mrs. Childs.
'Chain Letter' Sales
Of Autos Disapproved
Detroit (U.R) The Better
Business Bureau frowns on a
plan to buy automobiles on a
"chain letter" plan.
Wililam Carrico, manager of
the Detroit Bureau, said the pro
motion is worked by high pres
sure operators. A dealer is sign
ed up and the operators install
a battery of telephone "talkers'
who offer new cars free.
When a prospect shows up he
is offered a plan whereby he can
earn car payments by sending in
other prospects.
But still the car buyer is re
quired to make a substantial
down payment and sign a time
payment contract. The agency
agrees to credit him with $100
if a prospect he supplies buys a
car. He also is promised $50 for
each prospect his prospect sup
plies.
"I'm not sure where it would
end," Carrico said, "but soon
everybody would be a prospect
and nobody could find new
ones.
Color for Highway
Markers Considered
Tallahassee, Fla. (U.R) Flor
ida road department is planning
a new color scheme for highway
markers as a safety measure.
The project, to take about two
years, is designed to allow motor
ists to follow the road they want
by just sticking to a highway
sign of a particular color. Mark
ers on U. S. Highway 27 will be
green, those on coastal U. S. one
will be red, and three other basic
colors will be chosen for other
federal highways in the state.
Chairman Wilbur Jones said
the motorist will no longer have
to come to a dead stop at busy
intersections in order to search
for his route number from among
a mass of highway markers.
"With a standard color for
each route, this problem will be
solved and a dangerous and an
noying traffic hazard reduced to
a minimum, Jones explained.

Lobster Fishermen
Urged To Try New Trap
New York (U.R) Fishery ex
perts are conducting an educa
tional program aimed at induc
ing lobster fishermen to abandon
their traditional heavy, cumber
some wooden trap in favor of a
more economical steel trap.
Steelways, officials publication
of American Iron and Steel Insti
tute, says the lobster fishermen
must replace an estimated 500,
000 wooden traps a year at a cost
of several million dollars which
could be eliminated by the sub
stitution of a more sturdy pot.
It said that experiments show
that metal traps are just about
as damage-proof as man's in
genuity can make them. It also
noted that during coastal storms
that destroyed up to 75 per cent
of the conventional wooden traps
on the same fishing grounds, the
steel traps came through un
scathed. The tests showed that, trap for
trap, the metal ones caught just
as many lobsters as those made
of wood. Said Steelways:
"Changing a custom as deeply
imbedded as wood for lobster
traps is bound to take time, the
fishery people agree. But a
change to steel that will result
in a substantial annual savings
is a trenchant argument."

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN
Butler Charges GOP With
Using Economic Pressure
Washington U.R) Demo
cratic National Chairman Paul
M. Butler charged today that the
Republican National committee
sanctioned "the use of economic
pressure as a method of raising
campaign funds."
He said the GOP had asked
doctors to urge their druggists
to contribute to the Republican
party.
Butler made the charge in tes
timony before a Senate subcom
mittee investigating campaign
spending.
He said he based it on a letter
written doctors by the chairman
on the GOP's committee on
Healing Arts. He identified the
chairman as Dr. Elmer Hess,
past president of the American
Medical association.
Doctors Urge Druggists
Butler said the Aug. 29 letter
asked doctors to urge their drug
gists, among others, to contrib
ute to the Eisenhower - Nixon
campaign.
"Druggists are dependent upon
doctors for part of their liveli
hood," Butler said. "This fact
would naturally influence drug
gists to obey their doctors' or
ders if doctors told them to con
tribute money to the Republi
cans." The Democratic party chief
also repeated his earlier charges
that some employers are "pres
suring" their workers to con
tribute to the GOP campaign.
after her marriage to Robert T.
Kulp, Dec. 13, 1952, he still had
not changed his clothes.
Butler cited as a new example
a letter he said was written by
the president of Fibreboard
Products, Inc., San Francisco.
He quoted the letter as saying
company employees have "an
economic reason" to contribute
to the GOP.
The subcommittee released re
ports from Butler and his GOP
counterpart, Leonard W. Hall,
on the financial shape of the Re
publican and Democratic nation- leaving it $105,570 "in the hole,"
al committees as of Sept. 30. Butler said.
The Democratic committee Hall's report showed a bal-
had a cash balance of $14,894 a nee of $540,289, with unpaid
and unpaid bills of $120,664, bills of $24,000.

the organization conducted for

"By aggressively adding new
