Preside 1T Quirino of the Philip

Senate that "the time runs short
for the preservation of peace"
He addressed both the House
and the Senate separately at the
openings Of their sessions this
afternoon.
The House gave him a tremen-
dous ovation when he declared he
had come here in furtherance "of
peace of the world in our part OF
the GLOBE"
A few minutes later he ad-
dressed the Senate in the old Su-
prene Court chamber, recalling
that he had taken the oath in that
room as a member of its bar.
He was specific in calling that
body's attention to the threat in

in spite of the fact that the House
Ways and Means Committee yes
terday announced its approval of
legislation to blanket 1900, 900
more persons under old-age in
surance.
The committee, in its most i'm

old-age insurance benefits by so
to $50 per cent in some categories,
and to increase the payroll taxes
to finance the expanded pro-
gram.
Under the legislation. confirm

the payroll taxes will Jump from

Senate Action Doubted.
But one Democratic leader told
reporters there is little, II any,,
hope that the legislation will be
passed by the Senate before 1850,
although a drive will be launched
to press it through the House
this year. The Senate legislative
log jam prevents action there, he
said.
Regardless Of whether Congress

509b Cut in Cash
For Arms'Urged
By Vandenberg
Compromise Proposal
Would Let Contracts
For Rest of Program
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Vandenberg, Republic
can, of Michigan today put for
ward an arms bill compromise
that would cut the cash outlay
for Western Europe in half for
the coming year, but allow the
administration to let contracts for
the remainder.
His proposal. which may further
lessen opposition to the $l,450,-
100000 measure, came while De-
fense Secretary johnson was tes-
tifying before the Senate Com
mittees on Foreign Relations and
Armed Services in joint session.
Secretary johnson told Senator
Vandenberg:
I'VE will Cooperate to the full
est. 1t is the substance not the
form of the bill we desire"
Smaller Fund Advocated.
The Michigan Senator, a lead
ing backer of bipartisan foreign
policy, has been one of a sub
stantial group in Congress ad-
vocating smaller interim arms
fund at this session on the ground
that the North Atlantic Defense
Pact is not yet in operation.
He based his compromise on the
assumption that only about half of
the weapons contemplated in the
s1,45o,ooo,ooo program could be-
delivered by next June 80.
IF that is so, why can you not
reach your objective with a reduce
tion of so per cent in the charge
against the 1850 budget for Vest
ern Europe and the substitution
OF authority to enter into con-
tracts for the remainder in the
fiscal year 1882" he asked.
johnson Agrees in General.
Secretary Johnson agreed in
general, but reminded the COM
mittees that he already has told
the House he hoped the overseas
arms budget would go down after
the first year. If Congress post
pones part of the f1rst-year total
by labelling it contract author
-ity," MI. johnson said he hoped
the next session of Congress would
remember that when the 1851
budget comes in.
Senator Vandenberg had in mind
cutting in half the SLIGO, 900, 900
iof cash earmarked for Western
Europe and making the other half
contract authority to be paid for
in 1851. This would leave the cash
in the current bill roughly as fol-
lows:
For Western Europe, $3.50, ,ooo,-
900.
For Greece and Turkey, $211,.
37o,oeO.
For Korea. the Philippines and
Iran. s27,640, 900.
This would add up to about
$819,000,000 In cash.
johnson FavorS Ceiling.
With sentiment growing in Con-
gress for some limit on the amount
OF surplus equipment to go abroad.
Mr.. johnson said he is willing to
have such a ceiling provided it
will cover a detailed. list of the
surplus items this Government
plans to ship. He promised to give
the committees the itemized list
in executive session.
Other developments today were:
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire. said Gen. Mac
Arthur should be brought home
whether he desires to come per-
sonally or not" to give Congress
first-hand information about the
situation in the Far East.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
glnIa wanted to know If passage
OF this arms bill will ohligate the
United States to underwrite the
military security of Western Eu-
rope. Mr.. Johnson replied Ito
no greater extent than you all
ready have done in the North
Atlantic pact"

by radio for serum to be sent to the

over six hundred-mile dash with the
serum. His lead dog, Siberian Husky

SUGGESTIONS FOR
CURING FIDO OF
PURSUING CARS

.'How can my dog be trained not
to chase automobiles" is one Of the
most frequently-asked questions OF
the Gaines Dog Research Center. New
York City, these days. what with the
extraordinarily great volume of traf-
fic on our highways and streets and
more and more dogs being killed-a
great percentage of them because of
their dangerous habit of pursuing
passing motor vehicles.
Most drivers will do everything
short Of wrecking their cars to avoid
hitting a dog, states the Center, but
in heavy, fast-moving traffic driver
usually can't SWcrve out OF the way
of dog that leaps suddenly from
the roadside The habit is too dam
gerouS to be tolerated and. if ncces-
sary. stern measures should be used
for breaking it. The Center suggests
two proven methods for persuadins
Fido to abandon this suicidal pas
time.
One system is as follows: For this
method the trainer needs an asSis-
tant, car, and long carriage or
buggy whip. While one person drives.
the second sits by an open window
of the car with the whip. When the
dog charges toward the car, the whip
must be used with full force on him
and he must be shouted at in an
angry voice to GO home!' If the
whip method does not prove success
full, the same general procedure
should be followed. but instead of
whip, the trainer uses powerful
squirt gun loaded with mild solu-
ton of ammonia and water. Dogs
hate the odor Of ammonia, and if the
squirt gun is we'll aimed, the lesson
is usually learned after one or two
sessions. If one method doesn't work,
the other usually will. The idea. of
course, is to cause the dog to asso-
ciate an unpleasant experience with
the act of running after a car, to
which is added his utter astonish-
ment at having an automobile attack
him, the Center states.

over terrain where motor vehicles
can not operate and in weather when

A fine dog team is more than just
a group of dogs. 1t is a hand-picked
working unit of dogs which are

The training starts at six months of
age, when one or two youngsters are
hitched with an older, experienced
team of dogs and are taught by their
example The young dogs soon learn
that they must keep their proper
place in the team, must pull fair
