Administration Hit
By Dewey for Taxing

BY the Associated Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 4.-Gov.
Dewey denounced socialized medi-
cine today as a tool of a "Franken-
stein" government and charged
President Truman's tax and fiscal
policies were eating away many
States sovereignty.
In his eighth annual message to
the Legislature, Gov. Dewey said
New York is proving there is a
voluntary road to health security"
Gov. Dewey offered no hint as
to whether he would seek third
term as Governor or retire to
private life next December 81. He
renounced last week future presi-
Dental aspirations.
Gov. Dewey told the Legislature
that New Yorkers' Federal tax bill
had scared from $500, 100000 in
1941 to $4,000, 900. 900 today.
He asserted:
This is very effective way for
the Federal Government to impair
the sovereignty of State and de-
prive it Of the finances with which
to meet its own responsibilities"
The 1914 and 1948 Republican
presidential nominee accused the
Truman administration of trying
to hide what he called "its bad
management of domestic affairs
behind the skirts of international
and defense requirements" in
order to excuse its heavy tax
demand on the Nation"
Gov. Dewey told the Senate and
Assembly at a joint opening ses-

espionage, ,"retorted Mr.. Pomerantz,
"and have in my pocket a docu-

sent out for the leopard. which
was less than go days out Of the
jungle. ss
After it escaped, expert trap
pers and hounds attempted to
track down the beast but always
were at least "a hours late.
Mr.. Frazier estimated the leop-
ard was at least 18 miles from
the ZOO before it returned to gnaw
at the tainted meat.
"This is the only meal ticket he
knew" Mr.. Frazier said. "He had
just been here a week but those
things are smart"
Three Off Drug Effects.
Although the leopard ate
enough knockout drops to subdue
a larger animal, it was able to
throw off the effects when found.
Game Ranger Euell Moore and
James Ward and Marvin Grain,
park employees, found the leopard
at its pit.
Mr.. Moore, a half Chickasaw
Indian, who formerly pitched for
the Phillies and Giants, gave this
version:
1--WE put out that meat around
midnight and decided to check
about 1880 this morning.
"As soon as we got around the
pit we could tell the leopard was
about. Two of three chunks of
meat were gone and there were
tracks.
There's a corridor about 18
feet long that goes by the side

some blood on a box. I looked to
the right and there was a chunk
of meat on a ledge that led back
into a hole.
Il looked into that hole, but
no luck. Then Ward said to
check the other side. I climbed
onto box and shined by flash
light down the hole.
THAT leopard lifted its head
sleepily. kind of growled, think,
but we got out of there fast"
The pit from which the leopard
escaped gives the appearance of
huge boulders. However, it is hol-
low on the inside. The corridor
leads from the front OF the pit
down some steps and 18 feet to
an iron door.
Through this iron door you enter
the pit. The den is in the back
OF the pit and can be sealed off
by another set of iron doors.
Mr.. Moore and the park en-
ployes closed the outside door and
the leopard was trapped.
Zoo Keeper Summoned.
Mr.. Frazier was summoned as
the other animals in the ZOO were
aroused by the excitement and
began bowling.
Park. employees and policemen
arrived with guns and foodlight
was set up.
The night cleared after heavy
rain storm and a three-quarter
moon shone over the pit.
Mr.. Frazier entered the corridor
to ma the leopard crouching at
the back of the hole. He fashioned
a lasso and managed to loop the
moose over the beasts neck.
Mr.. Frazier gave a terrific yank
and the surprised leopard shot out
OF Its hole and onto the corridor
floor.
A half dozen park employees aid
ing Mr.. Frazier scurried out of the
corridor. The door was closed.
The ZOO keeper then moved to
the iron door at the back of the
corridor while park employees stood
at the opposite end with a cage
ready.
Again Mr., Frazier took a lasso
and walked into the corridor.
The half-drugged animal
growled. tried to get up and Mr..
Frazier lassoed him again.
He retreated behind the iron
door and pulled the leopard fast
against it.
Park employees opened the other
door and cautiously slipped the
cage over the leopard.
The cage was the one the beast
arrived in only a week ago from
Louis Goebel, an animal trader in
California.
