Dogs Dining on Mailmen To Bring Letters, Action Washington OPi The na-1 The second will be somewhat tion's mailmen struck a mighty blow today against their sometimes foe the dog. The Post Office Depart ment announced a stream lined one-two program of mas sive resistance against the owners of dogs whose favorite dish is mailman-on-the-hoof. If you possess such a beast: First, you get a letter from your local postmaster informing you in a friendly way your dog is under the impression your , mailman is a hors d oeuvre. The letter will make useful suggestions. Next, if the mailman's arrival is still the big moment in your dog's feeding sched ule, you get a letter saying from now on your mail may be picked up at the post office. A Post Office spokesman said the tone of the first let ter will be polite and helpful. cooler. He said the department is sending postmasters some sample letters, but they may use their discretion about what to say to meet "local circumstances." Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield said the de partment decided on its new program only '"after months of study of this dog-bite prob lem and continued annoy ance to our carriers by some dogs." The spokesman said the de partment estimated in 1956 mailmen suffer about 6,000 dog bites a year. That's about one for every 20 mailmen. "We believe that figure is un changed," he said.

Employers Warned On Payroll Reports Salem !fft Covered em ployers who fail to make quarterly employment and payroll reports within 30 days are liable for possible added tax assessments under an amendment to the unemploy ment law approved by the 1957 Legislature. David Cameron, commis sion contributions supervisor, said the amendment gives the commission authority to esti mate payrolls and tax assess ments if reports are not re ceived within 30 days. "The estimate then is .sent to the employer who is given 10 days in which to make any necessary corrections. If an audit discloses higher taxable payrolls, the commission is given power to make the added assessment," Cameron said. Nearly 28,000 firms with employment of 400,000 and 1957 payrolls aggregating $1, 600,000.000 now are subject to the laws, he said.

Weather Plane Vanishes in Pacific Agana, Guam UP) High .winds over the Western Pa cific thwarted efforts today 'to search for a U.S. weather reconnaissance plane with 10 men aboard which vanished Wednesday near the eye of a typhoon. Search planes from Guam were forced to turn back without reaching the area, 40 miles west of here, where the Utah Town Boosters Planning New Tricks Roosevelt, Utah (IT) The Bullberry Boys, dead set on putting this small central Utah town on the map, have new tricks up their leather-trimmed sleeves. The booster organization, weary of the lack of acclaim accorded their town, burst the national news scene with a 158-mile race from Salt Lake City to Roosevelt between two men on foot and two on horse back. The horses and riders made it in 57 hours, 7 minutes. One of the two Brigham Young University sprinters called it quits early in the race, and the second popped out in the stretch. 60 miles from the fin ish line.

Russia Wants Voice in Future Of Antarctic Moscow (IP) Russia's chief Antarctic explorer said today it is not yet certain that Ant arctica is really a continent but if it is Russia wants a voice in determining its fu ture. Mikhail Mikhailovich So mov, chief of Soviet Antarc tic expeditions, also admitted in an interview that "due to unexpected difficulties" Rus sia is lagging behind the United States and Britain in fulfilling its international geophysical year program in the Antarctic. Succtss Hailed But the 49-year-old scien tist hailed the "brilliant suc cess" of the international co operation in exploring the Antarctic. He is back here for a breather after personally leading Soviet teams to the polar area. If the Soviet share of the year's work is behind sched ule, it is because the Russians are attempting a most diffi cult task. The main Soviet Antarctic project is to establish a base at the "pole of inaccessability" the inland point farthest from all coasts. A group of Soviet scientists left the main Russian estab lishment at Mirny, on the Indian Ocean side of the con tinent on Dec. 27 to forge their way to the spot. Somov said Russia does not claim sovereignty over any specific part of the Antarctic. However, he said it "would be unjust to settle the status without Russian participar tion." ' Claims Unrecognized Several countries, including Britain, Chile, Australia, Nor way and New Zealand, claim portions of the Antarctic. The United States and Russia do not recognize the claims and have staked none of their own. Somov added that "It isn't of any immediate practical importance. The remote fu ture will decide." One of the principal tasks of the Rusian expedition is to determine whether the sixth continent actually exists. "It isn't by any means es tablished whether land exists under the immense ice pack or only an ocean dotted with several islands," Somov said. Teen-Agers Hold 14,856 Jobs in '57 Salem (IP) Oregon teen agers held 14,856 industrial jobs last year, according to work permit records of the State Labor Bureau. Labor Commissioner Nor man O. Nilsen said the total reflects the downward trend in state employment with a 10 per cent drop over the pre vious year in the 14 to 18-year-old group. Cannery and other food processing plants presented most employment opportuni ties with an estimated total of 4,200 jobs held by minors dur ing the vacation season. Mercantile establishments stood second and manufactur ing third in the industries em ploying minors. One-tenth of the teenagers worked in res taurants, motels and other public housekeeping occupa tions. Nilsen said that while food processing offered more vaca tion work than any other in dustry, such plants had to turn away two out of five young job-seekers. ' About 1000 teenagers in 1957 held vacation or after school jobs in places of amuse ment, organized youth camps and other recreation centers.
