Civil Courts May Get
Dog Ownership Case

Ownership of Sporty, little black
mongrel dog, was still unsettled
after Municipal Court Judge Ar
mond w. Scott yesterday dismissed
charges of larceny of the dog
against Mrs. Zines Byrd, colored. OF
the 900 block of M street NV.
Mrs. Louise Bennett, colored, OF
the HOO block of Tenth street NV
told John Lane, assistant United
States attorney, she intended to
take the matter to the courts, even
though offers of other pets have
been flowing in from sympathetic
dog lovers.
Mrs. Bennctt's son, Miller, II, tes-
tilted at trial last March % that
Mrs. Byrd tool. the dog away from
him in November as he led Sporty
on leash at Ninth and M streets
NV. He said the dog had been his
since he was six weeks old, nearly a
year. Mrs. Byrd declared Sporty is
the dog which was given to her in
l943 and disappeared in November,
1914.
Municipal Court Judge Thomas
D. Quinn at that time declared q
mistrial when a material defense
witness, alleged to have given the
dog to Mrs. Byrd, failed to appear
in court.
The case yesterday was dismissed
at the request of Mr.. Lane who said
the evidence in the first trial showed
Mrs. Byrd claimed the dog as hers
in good faith and this was sufficient
to defeat charge of larceny. Mrs
Bennett still has recourse in the
civil courts, he said.

Was STAGED in CAPITAL

Before its Broadway appearance,
"State of the Union," Pulitzer prize
play, played in Washington for a
five-dsy run, beginning November
7. 1t opened in New York No
vember IA.
Part of the effectiveness of the
political satire comes from the way
it picks up the days headlines,
changing the performers lines al
most every day to stay up-to-date.
It's Washington run came during
the transit strike-a situation duly
noted when one of the performers
read headline about walking
Washington from the days news
paper.
The plays opening scene is laid
in Washington and many of the
persons mentioned in the script
are political figures well-known
here. Audiences left the theater
trying to guess the identity of some
of the characters who were OBJ
viousiy caricatures of other polit-
ical figures on the Washington
scene.

will be announced later.
David L. Behncke. president ol
the AFL pilots union. previously
had indicated from his headquar.
ters at Chicago that only such inter.
vention on the part of the White
House could prevent the strike
called for midnight among some
l 900 pilots and co-pilots of TWA.
The Presidents order pointed oui

set up because "the disputes in the

members
Mr.. Behncke claims the pilots
have received no pay increases for
the past 10 years, while management
spokesmen say automatic increases

said to be demanding increases from
