trail and pointing toward the marine
position.
Pfc. Lansley exposed himself to injury
three times by moving down the trail
under the fire of the Jap machine guns.
Pfc. Mahoney covered his advance. and
Andy, his job done, was held back out
of danger.
Tanks Join Action
During the advance down the trail,
five light marine tanks joined the action,
and taking the direction of the Jap
position from Pfc. Lansley, attacked five
abreast. However. the center tank was
disabled by a land mine during the
advance.

It was November. The Devil Dogs
had landed at Bougainville and were
fighting their way from the Empress
Augusta Bay through the dense jungle
thickets, expecting the deadly nre' from
Jap sniper at every turn.
One night during the early stages Of
that campaign, Pfc. Jack, who was serv-
ing with the I'd Marine Raider Regi-
ment, lay crouched in a foxhole alert
to the slightest turning OF leaf in the
darkness around him. All that night he
warned the marine fighter with him that
there was danger in nearby tree.
AS the first light of day filtered
through the jungle thickets, the marine
pointed out the tree to a rifieman near
him-his fire shot Jap sniper. The
sniper had been In a position to do much
damage in the company command post,
but Jack had now eliminated the danger.
Jack is 2-year-old Doberman Pinscher.
Commended for Heroism
He was just one OF six marine dogs
who, as members Of the first dog platoon
to experience actual combat at the
Bougainville landing, were ofIicially
commended for their heroism and out
standing service. Four of the six were
Doberman Pinschers and they are all up
for promotion to corporals.
So we'll has the Doberman measured
up to the stringent qualifications for
service with the marine raiders that it
has been made the corps official dog and
special training kennel has been set
up at New River, N. C.
Another instance of war dogs action
in saving the lives of many marines
during the Bougainville offensive oc-
CURED on the night of the seventh day
Of operations.
Rex, a 2-year-old Doberman scout,
warned his handler Of the presence Of
Japanese near marine position. At
daylight the Japs attacked that position,
but, because OF Rex's warning, the ma
rines were prepared and successfully
repelled it.
Surpass All Expectations
Although the use Of war dogs in actual
combat service was experimental, Ma
rine Corps officials declared that they
have been used with unqualified sue
cess" far exceeding expectations. They
can flush" Jap snipers in trees and spot
machine-gun nests as much as 100 yards
away.
1t was Otto, 4-year -old Doberman
scout dog, who on the second day of
operations in Bougainville, was working
ahead Of a reconnaissance patrol when
he detected Japanese machines gun
position 100 yards away. His warning
gave the patrol time to take cover with
out casualties before the machine qua
began firing.
The Dobermans at New River are
specially trained to work with combat
troops and like other marines must learn
to endure the hardships of living in fox
holes, get along with little sleep, eat re-
duced rations and not be distracted by
grenade explosions, gun discharges or
whizzing sniper bullets, many of which
are aimed at them.
In letter to his owner, Gen. Thomas
Holcomb. retired commandant of the
Marine Corps. declared that Andy, q q
year-old Doberman scout dog, led the
advance Of q marine company on the
initial day Of the invasion and gave
warning Of scattered Japanese xniper
opposition on many occasions.
The Story of "Andy"
There is another story that has come
out Of that Bougainville campaign on
the exploits of Andy and his two train
ers, Pfc. Robert E. Lansley of Syracuse,

first resting place Of James Hoban,
architect and builder of the White
House. The body Of Capt. Hoban now
reposes tn Mount Olivet Cemetery.
St. Vincent's Asylum.
On the southwest corner of Tenth
and G streets once stood st. Vincent's
Orphan Asylum, the cornerstone Of
which was laid May H. 1S4s. It was
removed in the summer Of 1901, and
the site is now occupied by part of
the Woodward & Lothrop building. The
erection of the orphanage was one of
the benefactions of Thomas Carbery,
Mayor Of Washington, 1822-1824. It is
said that Capt. Carberry had much to do
with the organization of st. Vincent's
Asylum in 1925, it being incorporated
by Congress in 1881, by Rev. William
Matthews, Rev. Matthew Deagle, Peter
S. schrieber, Capt Carbery and
William Hickey. Mayor Carbery's coun-
try estate is now a part OF the Walter
Reed General Hospital grounds. Among
his descendants Is Judge Joseph G.
Mattingly Of Oxon Hill, Md.
1t Is quite evident that the Eleventh
street side Of the Woodward block was
early built upon, since buildings were
authorized there as early as 1900. A
notable building on the north side of
G street between Tenth and Eleventh
streets, which was removed to make
way for the Palais Royal building, was
ho To{I
ber was 1907.
It was here that constituent bodies Of
the Scottish Rite moved in 1886. Shortly
after this new structure, 83h by 80
feet, was built to the rear.
The cornerstone of this addition was
laid with Masonic honors on the after
noon Of June 7, 1888, the line of march
being from the temple at Ninth and F.
streets, down Ninth street to Pennsyl-
vania avenue, then along the Avenue
to Fifteenth street to G, and along G
to the new building. This building was
dedicated by the Grand Lodge on Octo-
Der of the same year.
Scottish Rite Cathedral.
This Scottish Rite Cathedral, by
which name it was generally known,
was not only great service to the Ma
sonic bodies, but 1t was here that the
Grand Chapter of the Order of the
Eastern Star was organized on April 80,
1896. H. H. Kinds was then the most
worthy grand patron. At this meeting
Past Most Worthy Grand Matron
Elmira Foley presided, with Past
Worthy Patron w. e. Nalley serving as
secretary, and the ensuing election re-
suited in the selection OF Mrs. Alcena
Lamond and L. Cabell Williamson to
serve as the first grand matron and the
first grand patron, respectively, Of the
order In this city.
It was about this time that the
property at 1007 G street was sold to Mr..
Lisner, to further develop the Palais
Royal holdings in this block, and the
cathedral was soon thereafter removed.
1t Is quite probable that all, or nearly all,
OF the south front of this square (No.
345) at an early date belonged to Lewis
johnson, the banker, since his home
occupied the northeast corner of
Eleventh and q streets as early as 1850,
previous to which he had resided at
Eleventh and streets.
Some Of the nearby residents on r
street included Mr.. and Mrs. Vaudeville
Elliot. who resided at No. 1lo7; their son
Irving became q well-known sculptor.

Widely Used in Midwest.

Now with food shortages and meat
and canned goods rationing, people are
becoming more than ever conscious of
the need-even obligation-of food pres
ervation. The idea, slow to begin, is
growing rapidly, and already many
fairly large cities have put the system
into practical use. Columbus, Ohio, has
5000 individual lockers; South Bend,
Ind, 1890; Oklahoma City, Okla 1000,
and White Plains, N. Y, 1,6OO; this
shows definite urban trend
Washington is now feeling the i'm
petus OF this movement, stimulated by
the interest of J. Morton Franklin,
supervisor of the District of Columbia
Victory garden Office, and Frank r.
Wilson, assistant to the Secretary OF
Commerce. With the planting season
approaching, Mr.. Franklin feels that
now Is the time to foster interest in
such q movement. Thus, District resi-
dents can plan their gardens for more
than needed summer consumption and
place the surplus in local food-storage
plants, located at strategic points
throughout the city, according to popu-
lation concentration figures.
If enough people can be interested
to file locker reservations there is ma
chinery available in Washington at
present." Mr.. Franklin says, ito permit
installation Of two plants" In this
way Victory garden surpluses can be
stored for winter use, augmented with
out-of-season surpluses from other parts
Of the country. This would work best,
he thinks, on . consumer cooperative
basis. by which al costs would be met

dogs to undue danger. When their mis-
sion In the action is accomplished. they
are quickly drawn back from the fire for
protection.
Ready for Immediate Combat
This first dog platoon, consisting Of
81 Doberman Pinschers and three Ger
man shepherds, had been so we'll trained
that although the dogs had been at sea
for almost a month before the action
began, they were ready for the first
landing and immediate combat.
The Bougainville experiment" has
proved that the Dobernan is the best
type for raider tactics and the Marine
Corps has organized a Nation wide ap-
peal for more Dobermans.
Procurement officers for the Dober-
man recruits in Washington are Mrs.
Dorothy Wurdeman, 37l1 Morrison
street NV. and George Coulon, 1929
Ashby street NV, both of whom are
well-knoWn dog authorities. Owners
and breeders Of Doberman Pinschers
who are interested in donating recruits
for the Marine Corps are asked to con-
tact either Mrs. Wurdeman at her home
or by calling Woodley o153 or Mr.. Cou-
lon at his home or by calling Woodley

eral fine Crosby swimming teams

Hartford High tankers. So, when
the two undefeated squads met last
night in Hartford water, it was
case of Katy. bar the door, for
Hartford took every one of eight
events, setting a record against
Crosby that has hardly ever been
equalled; then. used that victory to
close a season without loss to any
of eight rivals, which is something
to make King Neptune himself
swim up and take notice, to say
nothing of Johnny Weismueller, Bill
Smith, Alan Ford and Buster
Crabbe.

the manner in which Crosby lost its
first meet of the season. Summary:

Scovill, winner Of but one of four

BAKSI IS new
WHITE Hope OF
HEAvYWEIGHTS
BY JACK CUDDY

UNITED Press Stan CoFrespOndentl
New York, Feb. 26-(UP)-Joe
Balrsi, betting bridegroom from the
Pennsylvania coal mines. was hailed
today as the No. white hope" by
virtue Of his upset victory in Mad
ison Square Garden over tough
Tami Mauriello Of the Bronx.
Baksi, who secretly was married
Saturday to q farmers daughter,
surprised 16,015 fans in the Garden
last night by pounding out a unani-
nous 10-round decision over the
Bronx italian, after flooring him
for nine-count in the first round.
Baksi - big, brown-haired and
lumbering-announced his wedding
to blonde Anne Tomchik of East
Nassau, N. Y. after the victory that
established him as the outstanding
white heavyweight contender.
The 22-year-old 1arruper from
Kulpmont, Pa, went into the ring
an lis underdog for his first main
event in the Garden. He almost
won on a knockout in the first
round. Near the close of the ses-
sion, he smashed a right to the
heart: then Strengthened Mauriello
with a right uppercut, and followed
with an explosive left hook that
plummeted Tamil backwards to the
canvas in a neutral corner. Maui
relic sat there in daze until the
count Of six. He barely managed
to stagger to his feet as Referee
Billy Cavanaugh waved the count
Of nine. BakSi came in for the
kill; but then the bell rang, ending
the round.
Joe Took Six
Mauriello, who never has been
kayoed and who had lost but two
previous decisions as a heavy.
weight, was in trouble many times
during the remainder Of the brawl
The United Press scored six rounds
for Baksi, three for Tami and one
even.
Baksi, who resembles physically
Tommy Farr OF the Welsh coal
mines. beat the more experienced
Mauriello in every department. of
the game, though the Slavic slug
ger Is slow afoot, his fists travel
with surprising speed. His plod-
ded after Tami-forcing the fight
in every round-ne consistently
beat his supposedly faster opponent
to the punch.
Baksi's unusually long reach en-
abled him to out-jab the black
haired, somewhat blubbery Bronx
lite. And he nailed Tami with sur
prising regularity with right leads
sucker punches" But it was at
close quarters that Baksi was most
dangerous.
Staggered jos
Game Tami took his beating and
actually finished stronger than his
conqueror. In the early going, Tam
won only the third round; but hi
came on at the finish to staggel
Joe in the ninth and to take the
10th by a decisive margin, as Baks
seemed punched out and inaccurate
with his shots.
