Doomed Horses Break Out
Of Stable, Have Big Time

NEW YORK.-They were just
four old horses waiting in a shed
outside a Long Island slaughter
house. They had never pranced to
the post to the shrill notes of 'boots
and saddles" They had never
dipped their necks in the winners
circle for a garland of roses.
But no one knew what dreams
were passing through their heads.
Perhaps it was a dream Of what
might have been for them had
things gone differently. Maybe it
was a dream of the glory they
never knew. It could have been the
plain old cussedness that some
times comes with old age.
But
Whatever it was, it sent the four
old nags breaking wildly out of the
slaughterhouse stable and taking
off cross the countryside.
Lovely ladies didn't cast ad-
miring glances at them. Instead.
housewives took broomS to the
old horses as they trampled
shrubbery and pulled down clothes
lines.
They led a pack Of police for
a time. But in the stretch the police
had more foot than they did.
And instead Of roses they got
D around their necks and were
led back to slaughter.
But they did get a glimpse-their
last-of how the other half lives in
a horses world.

Save the Surface

America has become a nation on
wheels. To keep those wheels spin
ming requires a whole range of
special coatings to furnish beauty
and protection. The finishes on
streamline trains. buses, street
cars, tractors and trucks, must be
tougher than the working conditions
the vehicles encounter. They must
be as rugged as the machines they
protect.

Cobalt

Cobalt has come to be regarded
as an important element in the nu-

of recent tests in New Zealand
showed that those animals grazing
in pastoral areas which were
treated with slight amounts of CO.
bait maintained higher live weight
and had a greater yield of wool
than those which grazed on fields

Czech Charges That

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Sept.
7.-American Ambassador Joseph
E. Jacobs today termed "undigni-
fed" and a propaganda gesture a
Czech note protesting the alleged
kidnapping of % czechoslovaks by
American soldiers.
| The note claimed the Americans
kidnapped 20 Czech soldiers and a
small boy at the border Of Czecho-
slovakia and the American zone Of
Germany on August ~.
Mr.. Jacobs made his charges in
a statement handed to correspon-
dents at an Embassy news con-
ference. i a
The Communicated sCzec h
government had protested the al
legged incident in q sharply-worded
note handed to the American
Embassy here last night.
An hour and a half later, the
official Prague radio was broad
casting the protest note.
Text rof Note Published.
Today the government-con-
trolled Czech press printed the
| text Of the note under such head
lines as "terroristic deed of Amer
ican soldiers on Czech territory"
The American version OF the in
cident was not printed.
The Czech note claimed Ameri-
can soldiers crossed over to Czech
TERRITORY and kidnapped the Czechs
at gun point.
The American version, as an
tnounced last week by American
Iconstabulary officials in Frankfurt.
was that % Czech soldiers had
been caught on the American zone
side of the border August ~ and
that they were returned to Czech
authorities the following after
noon.
In his statement Mr. Jacobs
said the whole incident was
merely a dispute as to the exact
location Of the boundary line be-
tween Czechoslovakia and the

where this particular incident
took place."
+ Facts Held Distorted.
The statement added:
1T is obvious, however. that
the Czechoslovak authorities,
rather than presenting their evi-
dence in a dignified manner SO
that a check could be made to de-
termine who is right and who is
wrong in the matter. have taken
undue advantage of the incident to
write and publicize, Immediately
upon handing 1t to us, a note IN
which the facts and the impor-
lance of the incident have. been
exaggerated or distorted for pro-
paganda purposes"
Mr.. Jacobs also said the Czech
government representatives had
lodged an oral protest immedi-
ately after the incident occurred.
