on Dfa1nS, so that on January HOLC and John Byrns parted company. Now Uncle John Byrns is not averse to making HOLC officials rue the day he left the organization.
 HOLC officials are patiently waiting for the Congressional on- slaught, sorry that they ever filled a job on the recommendation of a politician.
 WELLES' CANINE DIPLOMAT
 Peace envoy Sumner Welles did his best to dissuade newsmen from accompanying him to Eu- rope and drastically limited his own encourage. But one member of the Welles family not left be- hind was the Undersecretary of States favorite dog, 8 crochety Sealyham named Tobey.
 Probably Tobey has seen more diplomatic service than any other dog i'm American history. He accompanied his master to the Panama Conference last fall where he showed signs of dis tinct boredom even when the precedent making American American safety zone was de- creed. In fact TObey was so generally disgusted that the hotel maid had to distract him with a toy mouse to keep from being chewed up while she cleaned the room.
 Tobey also visited the Buenos Aires Conference of 1936 along with President Roosevelt, C0rdeu Hull and his master. And al- though he may have been bored, he brought no boredom to Sec retary Hull, who on the trip home almost threw Tobey over- board and demanded that his Un- dersecretary keep "that darn dog" away from his private deck.
 The Welleses are extremely fond of dogs and have no less than nine. Mrs. Welles is always res- cuing some poor stray. One of them being a newborn fox ter rier which Welles carried In an overcoat pocket when he left Cuba as Ambassador. The pup named "Dr. Gran" after the then presi- dent of Cuba.
 However, Tobey is the favonte, and during dinner at the WelleS home, he is taken into the dining room on a leash and sits under his masters chair. Now about nine years old, Tobey is a little sour on diplomats, and accord- ing to State Department officials, has his paws crossed regarding the outcome of his and his mas ter's present pilgrimage.
