Court Finds Musky
And Duke Friendly,
But They Don't Care

! Duke, the boxer, and Musky, the
lelkhound, trotted from the Silver
Spring Police Court yesterday with
the innocent conviction that peo-
pile go to an awful lot of trouble to
act like human beings.
More than a score of persons
lsweltered for over two hours in
the hot courtroom while the law
wrestled with the case of Duke
and Musky. The question was
whether they were friendly or
vicious.
Judge j. Fendall Coughlin final
lily decreed that the dogs were not
legally vicious and acquitted their
master, Edwin Jacobson. president
lof the First Federal Savings 85
Loan Association of Washington,
of charges of permitting them to
run at large.
The charges originated in a
warrant sworn out by Mrs. R. j.
Folliard. of 1902 Edgemoore Lane.
Bethesda. She said Duke and
Musky ganged up on her pet
boxer, Butch, on May 7. Butch
had to go to the hospital for 10
days
The prosecution called 10 wit
inesses to testify that Butch and
Musky had very, very bad repu-
tationS."
The defense called an equal
number to testify that Butch and
Musky were exceedingly kind and
gentle.
Butch and Musky stretched out
on the floor and watched the
people. Their tongues lolled out
and they painted. When they left
they seemed more interested in
finding a cool. shady spot than
the legal commotion they had
caused.

RETIREMENT COVERAGE-
The $4,000 temporary indefinite
postal workers who will receive
permanent status appointments as
a result of President Truman's
executive order, will also get an
other decided break: They will
be covered under the civil service
retirement system.
Until now, these employees,
through a quirk in the law, were
not covered by Social Security nor
civil service retirement. They had
no pension coverage protection.
However. under the new order,
they will be covered by civil serv-
ice retirement and also will re-
ceive credit for retirement pur-
poses for the time they already
have been in the postal service
To get the full annuity, they would
have to make back payments for
the time they have been in Gov
eminent. However, most of them
will prefer not to. because they
will have to take only a very small
cut in their eventual annuities,
even if they don't make the back
payment.
The reason for the permanent
appointment order affecting the
postal service was the specific re-
quest by Congress that this be
done. AS for the rest of the Gov
ernment's departments and agen-
cies, the Civil Service Commission
is working on a reserve status Or
der that eventually will lead to
permanent status for hundreds of
thousands of temporary indefinite
workers. but on a gradual basis.
