SALT LAKE CITY --(AP)--A
dogs bark, not the dog, frightens
mountain lions.
That's the belief of Owen w.
Morris, predator control agent
for the u. S. Fish and wildlife
Service. He says:
Sometimes in deep snow dogs
will tree a cougar and their voices
viii wear out before the hunter
can get to the spot. Then the cou-
gar comes down and kills the
dogs"
Deep snow forced many hungry
deer into Salt Lake City and its
suburbs this winter. Later, cou-
gars followed the deer, says Nor
ris, and made kills near houses.
Morris reassures hcuseholders
by saying cougars won't attack
humans

The President and Mrs. Tru-

Mr.. Ross announced.
The Presidents newest move to
establish a satisfactory working
relationship with Congress came
yesterday when he went before the
United States Conference Of
Mayors with a blast at the usual
trouble makers" who. he said, were
trying to make it appear that he
was battling with the legisla tors.
"Basically," he said. "the Congress
and the President are working to-
gether."
It was the same tack he took in
his news conference at Key West
last week. and some leaders, like
Senate Majority Leader Lucas.
were openly pleased that the Chief
Executive was adopting this at
titude despite reverses in both
House and Senate.
Dixie lawmakers generally didn't
like the political implications of
their marriage of convenience"
with the Republicans by which
they shelved action, at least for q
time, on civil rights proposals.
Generally now they expect ia
support Mr.. Truman's proposals
to continue rent controls, extend
the European recovery program
for year, revise the reciprocal
trade program the way he wants
it and to provide for low-rent
housing construction.

the economy Of the Western zones,
but cannot inflict any serious
prejudice" on Soviet zone cur
rency.
The Allied order had been ex-
pected for some time. The West
zone mark long has been banned
in the Soviet zone. The Russians
contend the fight over which cur
rency should be valid for all Ger
many is big factor behind their
blockade Of Berlin.
The Western powers predict
their ban will help the economy
of West Berlin by tying 1t more
closely to the rest of West Ger
many which, they report, is de-
veloping faster than the Soviet
zone.
Meanwhile, the Russians threat
ened to sue a Western German
firm which has been unable to
deliver orders to the Russian zone
because of the Allied counter
blockade.
But the Russians were going to
get q blunt answer from American
authorities-that the blockade
was started by the Russians and
that they could restore free trade
by lifting it.
The Russian complaint was
stated by 1t. Gen. M. I. Dratvin.
Soviet deputy military governor,
in a letter to his American coun-
terpart. Maj. Gen. George P. Hays.
Gen. Dratvin threatened suit
against the German metals firm
of w.. z. Heraeus at Hanau, in
the American zone.
The Russians complained that
about % pounds of platinum had
been supplied to this firm from
the Russian zone to be processed
into electrodes.
Gen. .Dratvin also complained
that the State Chemicals, Inc, Of
the Soviet zone had not got its
platinum back.

the tax.
The bill exempts food for home
consumption and prescription
medicines. Mr.. Smith explained
that the new measure also incor-
porates all of the changes written
into the earlier bill by the House
before it rejected it last week.
In addition to prescription me-
dicines, these exemptions include
candy. bottled soft drinks and ra-
dio. newspaper and television ad-
vertising. It was agreed on the
House floor last week, also. that
by administrative rulings the tax
exemptions would include artifi-
eial limbs and hearing and sight
aids.
The sales tax was estimated to
bring in nearly $15.000.000 in the
next fiscal year, assuming that
taxes could be collected during II
months of the next fiscal year.
With time lost in action on the
bill, however, city officials said,
it now would be possible to collect
during only 10 months next year.
$2,40O,000 From Realty.
The proposed 15-cent increase

in liquor licenses was estimated
to raise an extra $500,000. And
an additional $1.200.000 is esti-
mated to come from a lowering
of the income tax exemption for

conference" in New York by %
delegates from Eastern Europe and
by American Communists and

This was the departments ex-

General to permit admission of
individual Communist delegates
from Great Britain, France and
other countries.
The department explained that
special ruling by the Attorney
General is necessary before visas

tries are coming to the conference
as officials of their governments.
They could have been denied visas

IN new revenues. An added $4,-
600, 900 would be raised, it said,
from a Is cent boost in the prop
erty tax rate.

This would add up to an addi-
tional $19,000,000 next year. if the
estimates proved correct. But Mr.
Smith. after consulting with city
officials, said the Klein Kennedy
income tax bill would raise only
about $10,000.000 gross.
