THE DOG Haggis was a small.
energetic Sealyham. whose earnest
brown eyes peered up through a
fringe Of grayish white hair. whose
entire headquarters collaborated
whenever she wagged her tail.
which was often. and who iabored
forever against a rapacious hunger.
Victoria was aware OF q certain
similarity between herself and her
little dog. Were just a couple OF
elderly girls" she sometimes said
to Haggis.
The veterinary telephoned short
ly after Tuck left on Saturday aft
ernoon. Haggis had quite recovered
from her operation and might be
called for whenever convenient.
This lifted Victoria from the fog Of
puzzlement which had descended on
her when she learned Of the absence
OF any poison in the kitchen can
lister. She realized that the unnat-
urai silence Of her house was due
largely to the absence Of the bus
ting Haggis. and she knew that
the return Of the dog would do a
great deal toward raising her spir-
its.
Driving back from the vets. with
Haggls' cold moist nose against
her bare ankle. Victoria's spirits
rose. She turned into her street
from Sunset with the baseless feel
ing that somehow everything was
going to be all right Haggis burst
from the car as soon as she opened
the door. espied the neighbours sui
try gray Persian cat picking her
lofty way through the Ivy that COW
" cred the deep front yard under the
trees. and with q spine-chilling Sc
ries Of barks sped after her. The
cat picked up remarkable speed
without loss Of dignity. and jumped
lightly into the lower branches OF
tree. which left Haggis circling
its base. frantic with Illustration.
Smiling. Victoria entered her
house. Hazel was busting about
the sunny kitchen. But the smile
left Vlctoria's face when Hazel
said: "Bernice called. dear. She
wanted me to remind you that you
had better make arrangements
about Mr.. Hines funeral"
So Victoria went to the phone and
called the undertaken whose estab-
lishment stood in simple stucco
grandeur at the foot Of her street.
Il think, Mrs. Hime," said the
mans soft voice. that you will
have to come down and select the
casket."
"Oh. you can do that all right,
Tn sure" said Victoria. "Just
something simple and expensive
with silver handles"
I'VE do not usually do II tina,
way. Mrs. Hime. We have a very
large selection Of caskets, and Il
has been found to be better for the
deceased's kin to make the selec-
ton"
So Victoria reluctantly prepared
TO leave the house on a most I'M
welcome errand. Just before she
left, Hazel asked IL she might have

YugosIav Archbishop
Goes on Trial Monday
On War Crime Counts
Announcement Follows
Tito Denial Thut He
Is Fighting Religion
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BELGRADE, Sept. 27.-Arch-
bishop Alozzijc Stepinac, head of
the Roman Catholic church in
Yugoslavia, will go on trial In
zagreb Monday On war crimes
charges, it was announced off,
cially today.
Bishop Joseph P. Hurley of st.
Augustine, Fla, regent of the
apostolic nunciature in Belgrade,
was in zagreb today.
Passes were issued to foreign cor
respondents for coverage of the
trial. The governments press min
lister said every possible facility
would be offered for complete cover
age of the proceedings.
Tito Denies Fighting Religion.
The announcement came soon
after Premier Marshal Tito declared
in a speech that the arrest OF the
archbishop and the current Zagreb
trial of II Catholic priests and six
others on war crimes charges in no
way represented any fight against
religion.
Addressing representative students
from II foreign countries. invited
here by Yugoslav youth, Tito said
the trial of the priests and six
others had shown that Archbishop
Stepinac was involved in the ac-
tivities of the Crusaders, which are
terrorist bands and which formed
part of the Ustachi collaboration
istD army"
The Crusaders, he said were that
small part we did not CATCH
Priests, even today, are giving
them help and hiding them Tito
declared. Even the head of the
church, Archbishop Stepinac, was
mixed up in these. activities.
Priests Held Not Immune.
"The trial shows that, and I per-
sonally know that very well. I per-
sonally told the Papal Nuncio Hur-
ley we consider all citizens are
equal before the law and that priests
can be called to answer as well as
any one else who committed these
crimes We've arrested Stepinac
and we'll arrest everyone who goes
against the movement of freedom,
whether any one likes it or not"
Tito said the shouting from
abroad" was result of organized
work OF international reactionaries,
but that it was SANDER against
Yugoslavia to say the churches were
being prosecuted.
You have seen how all the
churches are open and they will stay
open" he said. But we are prose-
cutting the antipecple elements,
whether they be priests or any other
profession. We know that religion
cannot be taken out of the hearts
of the people by force or decree.
All we ask is that priests perform
their religious duties and nothing
else"

Representative Risley, Repub-

ice employees of the War Assets
Administration. He said the
committee is not investigating
Civil Service, but that it def
nitely "looks like job for some
body else"
Mr.. Risley's statements were
made after the committee had
heard testimony concerning confer
ences between Government officials
and outside agents interested in
selling surplus property, which the
Oklahoma Representative branded
as "hObnobbing."
His criticism of WAA employed
was provoked by testimony by John
Alheim, an auditing liaison official
with the War Assets Administra-
ton. Mr.. Alheim told the commit
tee that Nicholas Rhineholtz, rep
resenting one of the companies
which had contracted to dispose of
