you have to bring in the tails to

The county's canine troubles

1t was like that for five years

They doubled dog-tag fees to

New Condor Hearing
To Clean Up Smear
By the Assoeiofed Press

GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y, Jan. Z.
Representative Kearney, Repub-
lican. of New York. says he will
demand another hearing by the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities for DR.. Edward U.
Condor, director of the National

Mr.. Kearney, who was ap-
pointed to the committee Thurs
day, said last night that DR.. Con-
don should be permitted to de
fend" himself against what Mr..
Kearney called the committees
smear"

DR., Condor of being one of the
weakest links" in the Nation S
atomic security.
He also was accused of associat-
ing with alleged Soviet espionage
agents.
DR.. Condor never was cleared
officially by the committee.
Representative Kearney, who
lives in Gloversville, told a re-
porter:
IF DR.. Condor is guilty of the
acts charged against him he
shouldn't be in the high post he
now holds. If he is not guilty,
he deserves the chance to clear
his name"
Representative Kearney, who
last year criticized the handling
of the probe committees hear
ings, said he had accepted ap-
pointment to the committee ION
condition that no more cases will
be left hanging in the air after
bulldozing witnesses and smear
ing regulations.

tive j. Parnell Thomas of New

term of s to 18 months for pay

New Social Measures
Await Income Rise in
Britain, Laborite Says
by the Associoted Press

LONDON, Jan. Further ad-
vances in the British Labor
Party's social security program
will have to await an increased
national income, the party's top
political strategist said tonight.
In a speech to his London con-
stituents. Deputy Prime Minister
Herbert Morrison made an obvi-
GUS bid for support of the middle
class and independents in the
coming general election.
He indicated that the Laborites
will go before the people with a
promise to consolidate gains in
social welfare rather than a
pledge of more and newer bene-
fits. -.
Notes Tax Criticism.
Mr.. Morrison took note of
criticism of the tax schedules and
charges that the Labor govern
ment is sitting individual incen-
tive and enterprise.
Taxation must be held within
reasonable limits" he said.
One of the chief tasks before
Britain, he said is expansion of the
national income Ito meet a
reasonable modern level of publiN
expenditure without overburden-
ing the economy and without over
taxing the incentive and enter
prise of individuals.
Cites Productivity Down.
Mr.. Morrison said Britain's pro-
duction per worker, once equal to
that of the United States. had
sunk to less than half the Ameri-
can figure in 1910. He commented: !:
"We cannot worthily set our
selves any lesser task for the next
half century than again to lead

Move 10 Compromise
School Aid Dispute
Begins in Congress
BY the Associo,ed Press

Under quiet pressure from
Democratic leaders, a move has
started in Congresssto compromise
differences now stalemating Fed
eral aid to education in the
House.
A half dozen school aid meas
ures have been stymied since
early last session in the House
Labor Committee. chiefly because
OF a bitter religious controversy
over the question of including
parochial schools.
Chairman Lesinski informed
members of his 25-man commit
tee today that the aid legislation
would be taken up by the COM
mittee February 6 and that he
expected it to agree on a bill by
March /.
Fourteen members were on hand
at peace meeting" last Tues
day. But after Mr.. Lesinski's an
nouncement of the committee
schedule harsh words broke out.
Move to Kill Aid Charged.
Representative Perkins, Demo-
crat, of Kentucky, charged that
the schedule was nothing but
camouf1age to kill any sort of aid
to education at this session"
Mr.. Lesinski said preparations
of schedule had just the opposite
purpose, and that the committees
work program had been worked
out with Representative Connell,
Republican, of Pennsylvania, re-
presenting the minority.
Efforts to compromise the edu-
cation wrangle appeared to be
directed toward acceptance Of a
Senate-passed measure. The Sen
ate would give the States complete
authority to use the funds as they
see fit and without Federal re-
strictions. Thus some States would
aid church schools and others
would not. y
AS one proposed concession to
Catholic demands, the Senate bill
would be amended to make some
provision to aid parochial school
transportation costs where States
are not permitted to act. Most
committee members concede the
transportation dispute is the key
to the deadlock.
2 Other Bills Before Group.
Cardinal Spellman of New York
last fall denounced as anti-Cath-
olic a bill approved by a subcom-
mittee confining Federal money to
public schools.
This bill, drawn by Representa-
tive Barden, Democrat, of North
Carolina, was attacked specifically
on grounds 1t Disseminated
against parochial school children
by denying them funds for auxil-
larry help and welfare services.
In addition to the Senate bill,
the committee also has before it
a bill by Representative Burke.
Democrat, of Ohio, for Federal
aid limited to teachers salaries,
and another by Representatives
Morton. Republican. of Kentucky,
and Werdel, Republican. of Cali
fornia, placing Federal aid on the
basis Of State need In relation to
the national average,
