Hart Urges Retention
OF Pacific Islands
Rv tho Asxocietad presS

BY the Associated Press.
American retention of the Marshall
Caroline and Marianas Islands "te
insure peace in the Pacific" is ad.
vocated by Senator Hart, Repub.
lican, of Connecticut, former Pacific
Fleet commander.
In a speech, broadcast yesterday
by NBC, Senator Hart asserted The
Pacific islands in general "are-ane
probably always will be-economit
liabilities to any nation which car
ries responsibility for them. Tn,
only economic value will lie in ia.
cilitating sea and air communica.
tions across the Pacific"
In case of the Marshalls, Caro-.
lines and Marianas, he said:
Japan, of course, must be evictec
from those and some other Pacific
islands where for years they have
broken faith with the world anc
exploited the natives. Their de.
parture will leave vacuum which
some one must fill for the welfare
of what will remain of the pool
natives-if for no other reason.
Il don't think their future i.
necessarily something which shoule
be settled at San Francisco, he de.
clared.
THAT future will be a proper
subject for the action of the inter.
national organization which is tt
come out of the conference.
Quite possibly the problem viii
not be solved until the peace con.
ference that will be held after Japar
Is crushed"

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee today intro

of the Commissioners to deal with
rabies epidemics by authorizing en-
forcement of muzzling, leashing,
quarantine or vaccination of dogs.
A similar bill, proposed by the
Commissioners was placed before
the Senate last week by Chairman
Bilbo of the Senate District Com
mittee.
At the same time, Mr.. Randolph
received a letter from the Better
Dogs Club, Inc, of Morgantown, w.
Va, protesting against the bill of
Representative Rees, Republican, of
Kansas and asking that Mr.. Ran
dolph vote against it should it be
reported favorably by the House Ag-
riculture Committee.
E. o. Davis, secretary of the club
declared the Rees bill would have
the effect of placing the Govern
ment in the dog business" and by
classifying dogs as livestock, ut
would be simple to issue a decree
banning the keeping of dogs in
cities or urban areas"
The club said 1t was cognizant Of
the danger of rabies but insisted

six months"
In support of the bill sponsored
by District officials, Commissioner
John Russell Young wrote Mr.
Randolph that the measure would
provide that when it appeared to
the Commissioners any dog or other
animal in the District was affected
with rabies, or was suspected OF
being rabid, the city heads may
issue proclamations requiring pro-
tective measures they deemed nee
essary. These would include muz-
zling, leashing, confinement OF
quarantine, or vaccination against
rabies.
Any person violating provisions OF
the District measure would be SUBJ
