LIN Wants .'BigTown'

New York, Aug. 3-{UP)-The United Nations is settling in the New York area instead of the more spacious West because:
 "It is important that this large community of international ser- wants, drawn from many countries, should not have to live a relative ly isolated life but should be able to profit from all the cultural and intellectual opportunities that a great c.ty can provide"
 That is the courteous retort that the UN's Site Committee is giving daily to unwelcoming residents of the suburban areas being consid- cred for it's permanent home.
 The committee politely considers this and other questions as indica- tive of keen public interest in the United Nations"

Has MidUest Accent
 Britain Has Dog Which Talks Distinct English

Royston, Eng, Aug. 13-CUP)-A six-year-old black and white ter rier just asked me for a chocolate bar. He spoke English and dis tinctly
 This isn't just shaggy dog story. This loquaeious animals name is Ben. Ben is a dog, but he talks like man.
 He can't say his own name, but that doesn't make any difference because everyone in this quaint vil- lage on the old Roman road to London knows Ben's name.
 Gets Right to Point Neither does Ben go around in troducing himself to strangers. He gets right to the point and says what he has to say. Maybe he doesn't want to be bothered with a lot Of boresome people expecting him to remember them by name
 When he spoke to me there wasn't yentriloquist within miles.
 Folks here take Ben and his con- versation in their stride-just like the people in the shaggy dog jokes Of course he talks" they say. Hes been talking like that for a long time"
 But then these people are Eng fish and they haven't been excited about anything since Caesars le- gions poured through here 20o0 years ago.
 Lured by intriguing reports from Hertfordshire, visited the modest home of one Alfred Brissenden. It's about few hundred yards of Royston's main street.
 AS l entered the house, a friendly black and white terrier about a foot nigh, but sleek and broad, sniffed at my legs.
 T hear you have a dog that talks, ' l said to the family.
 Ma Brissenden, her soldier-son Dennis and Brissenden himself ush- cred me into the little parlor, sat me down and said:
 That's him-Ben. He talks
 Asks for Bar
 The terrier battered in when he heard his name and looked me over. At BrlSSenden's instructions I took two bars of chocolate from my pocket and began to munch one.
 Ben, noticing that I had some thing edible, stationed himself be- lore my chair and said
 T want one"
 I'm a teetotaler so you can take

his statement was to show the Chi- nese people how minute are the is- sues which are holding up peace in their country and to bring them &C., lively into the picture as force for peace.
 The Chinese government news agency reported on Sunday that some American Marines soon would leave China and that American sponsored truce teams would give up their effort to prevent further con- flict.
 Should the truce teams be aban- doned, it was said here, it would mean only that Marshall had de- cided to give up on that method, and would try others, possibly including a coalition government move.

loFoIIette Faces Stronq Opposition
 Under New Banner,
 old Progressive
 Battles COP Favorite
BY UNITED PRESS

Sen. Robert M. LaFollete, veteran leader of the old Progressive Party, faced what may be the most crucial test of his long political career in the Wisconsin primary election to- day.
 LaFollette, who led his Progress sives back into the COP last March, is running for nomination under the Republican banner for the first time
 The Wisconsin primary is the top contest in today's balloting in three states. Vermont and South Carolina, the most Republican and the most Democratic states in the Union, also hold primaries today but a senatorial seat is at stake in Vermont only.
 In that Republican stronghold, where nomination is tantamount to election, Ralph E. Flanders, Spring field manufacturer, and Sterry R.. Waterman, St. Johnsbury lawyer, are running for nomination to the Senate seat vacated by Warren R.. Austin, who was named U. s. dele gate to the United Nations Security Council.
 LaFollette's principal opposition comes from Joseph R. Mccarthy 37 of Appleton, an eX-Marine captain who received the endorsement of the Wisconsin COP organization convention. Perry Stearns, Milwau- kee, also has made strong bid for the senatorial nomination.
 In the gubernatorial race, Walter S. Goodland, self-styled tough old codger" of 83, is seeking nomin- ation for his third term. Goodland is opposed by an ex-Progressive, Ralph M. Immell, former Wisconsin adjutant general.
 Three Congressmen face opposi- tion in South Carolina which is holding strictly white primary. The state repealed its primary laws to circumvent Federal court rulings that Negroes could not be barred. State officials consider the cleo tion strictly a party affair and out side of Federal jurisdiction.
 Rep. Butler B. Hare is opposed by W. J. Bryan Dorn in the Third District; Rep. Joseph R. Bryson faces Charles c. Moore in the Fourth District, and Rep. John L. McMillan has two opponents in the Sixth District, C. Stanley Bryant and Wendell J. Holbert.
 There are Il candidates for gov ernor in the South Carolina prim- ary. Nomination on the Democratic ticket is tantamount to election.

my word for this. Ben, a six year old terrier. said to me in plain English, T want one"
 was so surprised that I didn't move fast enough for Ben, so he repeated clearly and distinctly:
 T want one!" Well-fed I gave him the chocolate-no wonder he's sleek and broad. Who can refuse spoken demand from dog? Brissenden told me the rest of the tale
 Ben began mimicking human speech over a year ago. He appar- ently heard the phrase and asso- ciated it with food, tried it and found himself immediately the best fed dog in Royston
 BriSsenden is sure the dog picked up his f1uent-if lin1ited-voeabu- lary in the house, but have a priv ate theory about it.
 Recently a local newspaperman wrote an item about the dog and offers from fairs and carnivals poured in-includlng a cash offer Of g 900 for purchase. Yesterday Prof. W. c. Miller, of the Royal Vet erinary College, and Dr. w. R. Woodbridge, scientific director of the veterinary educational trust, exam ined Ben.
 They were amazed and spent some time peering down into Ben's throat.
 Want Dog After Death
 They found that he used his tongue to change from one word to another and said it was the closest canine stimulation of human speech they had ever heard.
 They suggested that Ben's throat and brain be examined by scientists after he dies.
 According to villagers, Ben was delight when he first learned to speak. He frightened the village drunk nearly-but not quite-into taking the pledge, and shocked bartender in the local pub licensed In 1600) into dropping a glass by sitting up and stating calmly:
 T want one"
 In various amusing forms this sort of thing happened many times.
 About my theory on who taught Ben. Royston was an American air base. Brissenden wouldn't know it, but the dog speaks with a mld-western accent.

Sources Say Marines
 To Remain in China

Washington, Aug. 13 - CUP) - United States Marines will remain in China, informed quarters here said today.
 Although there has been progress sive withdrawal over the past six months as the job of repatriating Japanese forces was Whittled down, it was explained that there has been no decision to withdraw the Marines completely.
 The State Department later con- firmed that Marines would remain in China. A spokesman said the question of withdrawing them had not even been taken up.
 Guards Needed In North
 Pulling out the Marines now, it was said, merely would add one more problem to the long list al- ready facing Presidential envoy Gen. George c. Marshall. If the Marines left China, it was explained, some body else would have to guard com munication and rail lines in North China, and this could easily become another issue between the central government and the Communists.
 Moreover, it was pointed out, the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-08-13

Marines also help service the Amer ican 7th fleet at Tsingtao.
 There have been many tentative schedules for recalling Marines from China, it was said, but something always interferred with the schedule being carried out. Nevertheless, in the last six months, the Marine force in China has been reduced from some 60,000 to about 23,000.
 Meanwhile the statement made Saturday by Marshall and American Ambassador John Layton Stuart was interpreted here as an effort to go over the heads of quarreling gov- ernment and Communist negotiatorS to the Chinese people themselves. Marshall and Stuart said that the prospect of peace in China appeared hopeless because the government and Communists could not agree on the type of local governments to be set up in areas evacuated by Con- munlStS.
 Marshall Not To Quit
 Actually, officials here said, Mar shall has no idea of quitting. They believe that what he tried U do in

areas, released by the LIN today, promise, in effect:
 Not to potlute water supplies;
 Not to claim exemption from taxes which are, in fact, no more than charges for public utility services;
 Not to put a wall around itself
 Not to create a buffer strip of idle land;
 Not to turn out residents im- mediately on acquiring the site.
 The answers are based on the LIN documents, on site negotia- tions now in progress with the United States and on the commit tees own good sense.
