SPCA Stops
 Buffalo Hunt''

RAWLINS, Wyo. R Cries of brutality" aimed at Wyoming's Firestone-Buffalo hunt resulted to- day in a laSt-minute rule change which the assembly archers de- clared would guarantee "clean kills" of the three bulls slated for bow-and-arrow deaths.
 Under the original rules, t9t archers, armed with 60-pound bows and standard broad-head a. rows, would have lined up at r yards distance and fired one sho' each until the bulls were brough down.
 At mass meeting last night, called in response to newspaper charges that the hunt would be nothing short of murder" the archers voted to stalk the bulls and fire at point blank range if possi- ble to assure quick executions.
 The vote was taken after Roy Hoff of Los Angeles, editor of Archery" magazine and 1945 na- t;onal bow champion, asserted that "I cannot call my shots at F yards"
 One of the latest organizations to take up the cudgel in behalf of the buffalo was the Victoria, B. C., branch of the Society for the pre- vention of cruelty to animals. The group sent wires to the Wyoming governor, Presidents of the Raw linS chamber of commerce an Eric H. Hansen, president of the SPCA, in Boston asking the hunt be stopped.

ALUABLE PAINTINGS .>niBITED IN U. s.

Attorney General Tom C. Clark today announced the vesting of three German-owned paintings, including Rembrandt, which are on exhibit at the Dayton Art h. stitute, Dayton, Ohio.
 A department of justice official said the paintings were the prop erty of the Weimar Museum of Weimar, Thuringia, Germany, and of Grand Duchess Theodore of Sachsen-Weim -Eisenach, Hein- richau, Germany.
 The painting by Rembrandt, which is self portrait, was val ued by it's German owner at $l4O,- 900 the official explained. Another of the paintings is by J. H. Tisch- bein and is valued at Sl,200. The other painting, valued at $2,OOO, is by Ter Borch.
 The Rembrandt painting was loaned to the Weimar Museum by it's owner. However, German court decreed that the painting should remain permanently in the custody of the State of Thuringia, Germany.
 Investigators of the Office of Alien Property found that the three paintings were stolen from the Weimar Museum on April l8 1922 and were sold to two German merchant seamen who brought them to New York in 1884. The seamen sold the paintings to a resident of Dayton, who bough. them with knowledge of the theft. Therefore, the Weimar Museum had full legal title to the paintings according to the office of alien property.
 The paintings were seized by the government under authority of the trading with the enemy act Property in the United States

CAPITAL Not So Resolute About II;
News of Friends Here and Abroad

A canvas of the cabinet fails to
produce anything very radical in
the way of a New Year resolution.
This could be a good sign indicating
that all are doing their best al
ready. For instance, Secretary of
the Treasury, John Snyder, said
that it did not require the advent
of a new year for him to restate
his firm resolve to do his utmost
to preserve the character, credit
and integrity of the American
dollar.
Ambassador elect to Great Brit
ain, o. Max Gardner. said that if
he were to make resolution it
would be in connection with main
tanning and strengthening the bond
tof friendship between our country
and Great Britain. Both resolu-
tions give everybody nice COM
Portable feeling. AS for Capital So
ciety in general, it is resolved that
Washington shall remain the social
capital of the world despite the
presence of the U. N. in New York.
And this one may be hard to keep.
