Young Giant Husky
From Byrd Party
Arrives in Capital
Dog, Born About Time of
Flight, Already Broken
to Harness.

Tom, Q giant husky dog, born on the
Antarctic ice barrier and trained to sled
harness with the Byrd expedition to the
South Pole, arrived In Washington yes
terday, the first member Of the Byrd
expedition to reach the Nations Capital.
The dog, hardly a year old, q great
quantity Of wolf blood coursing in his
veins, but as gentle as a house pet. came
to the Capital yesterday afternoon, and
already has won his way to the hearts
of Mrs. G. e. Lofgren, wife Of men,
Der of the Byrd expedition, and her son,
Letcher Lofgren, 8, who wanted to stay
home from school this morning to play
with Tom, but met maternal disapproval
of his plan.
Tom, wearing two fur coats, soft
woolly coat Of fine hair next to his skin
and q shaggy gray and black coat out
side, painted somewhat breathlessly this
morning in the cool Spring temperature
that prevailed, but, in nevertheless digni-
fed fashion, posed for his picture.
Tom was born about the time Ad-
miral Richard e. Byrd made his famous
fight over the South Pole. He was
the huskiest Of all the puppy huskieS
in the team Of Paul Siple, Boy Scout,
with the Byrd expedition, who trained
him to the sled traces.
Before Tom left the Antarctic, &C
cording to Mrs. Lofgren, he was fully
broken to the sled harness and had es-
tablished for himself fine record. He
showed, Lofgren reported in a radio
gram to Mrs. Lofgren, promise Of be-
coming Q real champion husky.
Tom howled wiStfully for an Ant
arctic moon all last night, much to the
discontinue of the Lofgren neighbors,
but today was the center of an admir-
ing throng of those same neighbors,
submitting to all sorts Of undignified
ear-pulling and paw-shaking with good
humor.

BILL
AGREEMENT SEEN
Conference Tomorrow Opens
Way for Action During
Present Session.

With the Senate and House con-
ferees on the civil service retirement bill
ready to meet at 1890 o'clock tomor-
row morning, the outlook appeared
bright today for enactment of q LIBERAL
lied retirement law for Government
employees at this session Of Congress.
The action Of Senator Dale, Re-
publican, Of Vermont. chairman Of the
Senate civil service committee, In ar
ranging late yesterday for the meeting
Of the conferees opened the way for
an agreement after more than five
weeks of virtually no progress.
It is understood the Senate group
will suggest some notifications in the
new method Of retirement approved by
the House, but the likelihood is that the
bill as it passed the House will be
agreed upon without substantial change.
Whether an agreement will be reached
tomorrow or at later meeting remains
to be seen, but the decision of the con-
ferees to meet was taken by Govern
ment workers as q hopeful sign that
the legislation will 60 through.
AS soon as the conferees agree their
report will 60 back to the House and
Senate for ratification before going to
the President to be signed.
Speaking at a banquet Of Local No
140 of the National Federation Of Post
ONCE Clerks, at the Mayhower Hotel
last night, Representative Lehlbach, Re-
publican, of New Jersey, expressed con-
fidence that retirement legislation would
be agreed upon at this session. Mr..
Lehlbach Is head of the House group Of
conferees.
Representative Kendall of Pennsyl-
vania also spoke at the banquet, pre-
dieting passage Of the bill to fix a.
hour week for postal employees. Thomas
r. Flaherty, secretary Of the national
federation, was POSTMASTER.
