For years, these highly trained, faithful
animals have been guiding the sightless.
But Wiggles does seem to be an
exception. Pensioners at Blessed
Sacrament always are amazed when
Wiggles selects an unoccupied pew near
the altar for his master and when,
during the service, he takes him to
vacant spot at the communion rail.
When Wiggles takes Mr.. Moses to con-
fession, he leads him to an unoccupied
confessional, then waits patiently out
side the draperied door.
Wiggles seems to understand the
services. but Mr. Moses discounts the
notion. He says:
"Seeing-Eye dogs are trained to not
permit their masters to brush against
any one or anything. That's why he
selects vacant pew. If should bump
any one. Wiggles would be very ashamed

for having placed me impossible danger"
Wiggles also contradicts the popular
idea that only German shepherds
make good Seeing Eye dogs Mr. Moses
first dog was German shepherd. He
died year ago, at 49,
when I got Wiggles," Mr. Moses
began as he relaxed on his porch, there
were 18 dogs in his class. Fifteen were
boxers, two were German shepherds
and one was Labrador retriever.
Perhaps that is indicative of trend.
Many people also think Seeing Eye
dogs are aloof and have a tendency
to be cross. Wiggles is strictly one
man dog, but he also is playful and
friendly"
AS if to prove it. Wiggles was holding
some sort of an animal world conversa-
ton with the Moses big yellow cat. He
was interrupted, however, by some

Sharp Eyes of Boxer Guide His Sightless Master

l. traffic was moving along upper
Connecticut avenue. On the curbing,
young man waited patiently for the
traffic signals to change.
Beside him stood an alert boxer, his
big black snout pointing this way, then
that, as he kept sharp eye on traffic.
That telltale, yokelike harness reached
to his masters hand. He was Seeing
Eye dog.
When the lights changed and an aisle
of safety opened up, Wiggles-for that is
the dogs name-took his master swiftly
across On the other side, they turned
sharply and were off at brisk pace for
the Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament.
'Wiggles owner is Henry Moses, 80,
of 1899 Livingston street NV. Mr..
Moses, a graduate of woodrow Wilson
High School and Georgetown Univer-
sity, has been blind since birth.
There is hardly anything new that
can be written about Seeing-Eye dogs.

BY timely coincidence big, shaggy
dog rushed up at that very instant,
barking and growing and spelling for
a fight. In a split second, Wiggles was
on his feet. Every muscle in his IS
pounds was taut, but he did not bark
or even groWl. He braced himself in
front of his master and looked the
other dog squarely in the eye, as if to
say:

BY the Assoeioted Press

CATION to the International Labor
Conference at Geneva, Switzer-
land, Of the social security mini

poses the danger of socialized

while the medical benefits in
the covenant are carefully distrib-
uted through the document, con-
sidered together they constitute
'socialized medicine" the Journal
said.
1T is extremely important that
every one understand the fact
that a treaty, once ratified and in
force in the United States. auto
matically becomes a part of mu-
nicipal law. a fact that is not gen.
orally true in other countries"
The International Labor Organ

resented by four delegates, two

such as income and excise-and
other requirements"
They emphasize that they real
ize the voting privilege is priceless
in a democracy and that taxes are
inevitable and largely essential.
But they contend citizens
should not be put in the position
of being "penalized by registering
to vote" and being subjected to a
myriad of new taxes.
This reticence and the negative
attitude on poll tax payment are
not shared by get-out-the-vote
specialists in the non-partisan
League Of Women Voters.
Big Electorate Urged.
They and others say nothing is
gained by refusal to pay poll tax
just because a, person doesn't ap-
prove of such a tax. The thing to
do. they declare, is to pay the tax,
register and vote, and build up the
State electorate to a point where
repeal of the tax can be effected
eventually.
In that general connection, it
is recalled that a former partial
stumbling block to registration
and voting in Maryland was re-
pealed within the last two years.
That was the requirement for
prospective voters to give formal
notice Of intention to vote at
least year before an election.
Here again, as in the case of
so many other evident, but in
tangible, factors in discouraging
registration, authoritative esti-
mates Of numbers cannot be OBJ
tanned.
But it demonstrates that the
Virginia and Maryland lag in reg

recent years results from a COM

resentative voting turnout boils
down to individual initiative, in

Lets Get Out the Vote
By Robert K. Welsh

The poll tax in Virginia, al
though small amount, accounts
to a big extent for failure of many
people Of voting age to vote in
that State.
There are some potential voters
who feel they cannot afford to
pay it. There are others who in
tend to pay it as a prerequisite
for registering or voting but for
get or otherwise fail to do so be-
fore the inconveniently early May
deadline.
There are still more, according
to complaints repeatedly heard
by non-partisan get-out-the-vote
organizations, who won't pay it.
Some Refuse to Pay.
This form Of opposition to the
poll tax Is taxation -without-repre-
Sentation in reverse. Rather than
be represented on the voting
rolls. some Virginians object Sc
vehemently to this taxation in
principle that they refuse to pay
under any circumstances.
Virginia Is one of five States

pearing levy. The tax require
ment is not the sole reason, OF
perhaps even the most important
one. why only 81 per cent Of tllt
potential voters of Virginia wen
