REP Or TER
soUAWK CLUB
by The
KENNEWICK COURIER

harked the leader of a contingent
of angry citizens who stormed the
meeting of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of GroanerS this week.
Each Of the group was frothing at
tha mouth and properly should
have been muzzled. Bounding to
the platform like an overgrown
ST. bernard, the spokesman con-
s>.;nued the rave while the rest OF
8e pack yipped in the way of sup
bort. Removing trees won't help
to lessen the unleashed dog popu-
lation," the leader growled. "The
city will just put in meter posts
more than there were trees. And
there will be more dogs with an
ever increasing hazard to traffic,
yapping and dashing around like
a pack of hungry wolves, until the
streets will be as filled with dogs
as the ancient town of Hamelin
was with rats!" E Z,
HAZARD
We have long complained Of the
loose dogs as hazard, especially
in the downtown area. Now we
have concrete example of our
contention. A KenneWick woman
a few days ago was driving on
Kennewick Avenue. A pack OF
uncontrolled CANNES was weaving
around in blissful pursuit of their
own endeavors. They trotted to-
ward the curb and just as she
was about to pass them they
swung sharply back in front OF
her car. Naturally she slammed
on her brakes and just as natur-
ally her little girl in the seat be-
side her was thrown against the
dash board and suffered painful
injuries.
CURE
In this case the old adage aptly
applies. An ounce of prevention
Is POUND Of cure. We don't
know all thu requirements Of OPP
Grating a.. dog pound. Briefly, it
works on the. basis of licensing
dogs, filming dog owners for failure
y their animals to observe the
flaws Of the realm, and disposing
OF ailing and stray animals. Prob
ably the operation would cost
more than it could bring in, but a
little tax money to control wors-
ening condition would be a sound
investment. Loose dogs, splitting
garbage cans, littering sidewalks
with uncomfortable material, in
terfering with auto and pedestrian
traffic and generally making nuis-
anceS of themselves do not add to
the health and well being Of the
city.
PIPER
Whatever is done, certainly we
will have to do it ourselves. We
still like fairy stories and in fact
even like to believe some of them.
But the only Pied Piper we can
count on in this case is action by
the city council.

l2 Short Range Navy Planes Safely Cross Pacific

HONOLULU, (P) - The navy sent 12 short range combat planes 2,426 miles across the Pacific yes terday to prove a point.
 The point: to deliver such air craft over ocean distances beyond their fuel capacity by the shortest quickest route, let them fly-with refueling stops aboard convenient ly spaced carriers.
 That's what the 12 fighters and dive-torpedo bombers did-and for the first time. They hippety-hop- ped from Moffett Field, Calif., near San Francisco, to Barber's Point, Hawaii, landing on two car riers in between. The elapsed time: II hours, 53 minutes. Rear Admiral J. M. Hoskins, chief of staff to the commander of air, Pacific, reminded newsmen after the landings that the planes were combat ready" for action when they arrived.
 "In time of war, needed aircraft could be ferried in this manner over vast ocean areas" he said.
 Now the navy is planning sim liar test hop with jet fighters.
 The carrier Princeton refueled the 12 planes 800 miles from the California coast and the TaraWa did the job 1,600 miles out. The single engine planes, taking off from Moffett field at dawn, reach ed Barbers Point at 3:35 pm. Honolulu time.

Convict 'Meatball,' ; Jap, Of Treason

LOS ANGELES (P)-California- born Tomoya Kawakita, convicted of committing brutalities against American war prisoners while he was an interpreter at Japan's in famous camp Oeyama, is under sentence of death for treason.
 Federal Judge William C. Ma thes yesterday sentenced the 28- year-old Nisei to die in the gas chamber at San Quentin prison.
 Morris Lavine, defense counsel, immediately filed notice for ap- peal. Lavine tried for hours to have the conviction set aside on grounds that coercion and undue influence had been exerted upon the jury.
 Kawakita-called "MeatbalI' by 35 ex-servicemen who testified against him-Was convicted of treason Sept. 2 after eight days of heated deliberation and eleven weeks of trial.
 In pronouncing sentence Judge Mathes said that to spare Kayak ita's life would dishonor the memory of Pvt. Sadao Munemori" Nisei winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor).
 The convicted mans mother, Mrs. Tose Kawakita, buried her face in her hands when she heard the sentence. Judge Mathes dis closed he had received touching letter from her which said if her son was guilty of treason, she did not want to live.
 Judge Mathes said the sentence was not based on the brutalities with which Kawakita was charged.
 His crime" the jurist explain ed, "is that he said from 1943 on he did everything he could to help Japan win the war"
 KaWakita, born in Calexico, Calif., returned here from Japan and was spotted in a department store by an ex-GI who had been imprisoned at Oeyama.
