Look. A man loses an elephant.

when three people in a small town
lose three st. Bernard pups weigh

sad for John Mewshaw at the

which of the three owns the dog.
And, If you don't think it's sad for

In addition, the two committees
laid groundwork for a series of

said he believed they should deal
with questions such as whether
the present system of administra-

should be replaced by a city coun-
Gil; whether Congress should re-
view taxes levied by such a city
council, and whether the District
government should be permitted
to incur debts.

animal was sold. And then he'll
