Dog Is No Help

Spider, a little dog of uncertain
parentage, had his day in two Mu-
nicipal Courts yesterday but even
a reference to him was of dubious
benefit to his owner, Charles Walker,
81, colored In fact, Walker ended
up by going to jail for 65 days when
he was unable to pay $55 in fines.
Walker, who lives in the 100 block
of Pierce street NV, first appeared
in Judge Nadine Gallagher's court
on charges of failure to inoculate
Spider. The charges grew out Of
the fact that Spider bit woman.
Walker was sentenced to five days
or IS.
Then. in Judge Ellen Raedy's
court, Detective George c. Prather
told how he recovered two ladders
and a can Of paint, stolen from a
painter, on Walkers property. In
searching the property, he testified,
he felt under a couch. "No paint"
he said, but his dog was there and
he nipped at me-" For the larceny

Bidauh's S Policy Wins

By the Associofed Press

PARIS, July 26.-Frances Ma
tional Assembly today voted conf

Bidault's foreign policy and rendered
homage anew to the Marshall eco

The Communists abstained in the
voting, which was by show OF
hands, and came after Mr.. Bidault
had evaluated the world situation as
grave" but mot desperate"

The resolution said the assembly
associated itself anew with the
homage rendered by the government
to the initiative" taken by United
States Secretary of State Marshall
in projecting his aid plan.
Meanwhile, Robert Lecourt, legis-
lative whip Of Mr.. Bidault's Popular
Republican Movement, said he be-
lieved American policy for speeding
Germany's recovery as formulated in
Berlin had given the French Com
munist party a chance to stagger
from the ropes where it was sent
reeling by the Marshall plan.
Mr.. Lecourt-and other observers
including members of Premier Ram
adiers staff-said the Communists
were on delicate ground when they
tried to justify Russia's boycott Of
Secretary Marshall's plan.
Chances Are Believed Better.
Now, these sources said, the Com
munists have got their breath back
and their chances of returning to
positions of power in the French
government are somewhat less re-
mote than three weeks ago because
of proposals to double the German
industrial level
Whether the Communists actually
will make a comeback, Mr.. Lecourt
