4 weeks--that was left at the
welfare league two weeks ago to
be put to Sleep" Mrs. Hamlet
brought him home instead, gave
him generous doses of loving
care, and he now holds his own
with his older, huskier compan-
ions. Sambo is also a candidate
for adoption.
Right now there is another
homeless animal at the league,
beautiful, ng-haired gray
cat" that has touched her heart.
IF no one takes him, I'll have
to-" she said simply.
Hunt for Homes
Every Sunday, Mrs. Hamlet
packs the animals she brought
home to build up" into a cat
cage and off they go by bus to
the welfare league, she to do her
volunteer work, they to do their
best to attract good homes. If
there are no good prospective
masters that day, back they all
come with her.
Amazingly enough, Mrs. Ham
lett had never owned a cat in
her life until after her marriage
16 years ago. Her husband liked
cats, and they soon acquired a
stray kitten from a local mer-
chant near the University of
Texas where Mr.. Hamlet taught.
BY the time they came to Wash

ington, they had collected four
of them.
I'VE brought the cats with U.s."
Mrs. Hamlet explained. "It was
our first menagerie."
1--WE lost only one cat in all
these years." she recalled, but
I felt awful about it. He tore
'e screen off and got away and
never came back. I feel sure he's
still back in the wooded area
behind our home. and have
offered neighborhood boys a re-
ward if they can find him. They
bring me all sorts of cats" she
added sadly, "but never that
one"
Mrs. Hamlet belongs to all
the welfare leagues in the area.
She reads up on pets, doctors
them IF it's something light"
She loves them all, mongrels
and pedigreed. the gregariouS
cookers and the anti-social

patriarchal solitude to eat his
meal of horse meat and milk on

Work? Of course it's work.
But" Mrs. Hamlet tells you
as she rises to say good-by.

ing herself from tail-wagging,

1t would be easier for a small
boy to resist a space suit than
for Mrs. Alan Hamlet to ignore
a displaced animal.
With her it is case of the
more the merrier. At any given
time on the Hamletts' four acres
in Falls Church one can find a
cat in a tree, a cat on the roof.
a cat chasing another cat, a cat
on the outdoor refrigerator, cat
under a chair and a cat upon a
chair.
Mrs. Hamlet, in fact, has nine
cats of her own and four for
whom she hopes to find homes.
She also has nine ducks and two
cocker spaniels.
Rounding up this cavorting
crew at chow time is simpler
than one would suspect. "All
you have to do is rattle a. can
of food, and everybody appears" !"
she explained. Thirty pounds OF
horse meat a week is also offered
to her brood.
Cuban-born Josephine Ham
lett, who speaks English with a
slight accent, is a volunteer at
the Animal Welfare League OF
Arlington on Sunday afternoon
and a teacher of Spanish at night
at Roosevelt High School. Her
own cats are Grandpa Tyler, IL;
Pamela, 9; Little Miller, 8: Prin-
cess Grouchy. 7. a blue-eyed an
CORA with long pedigree; Snow
ball, 7; Sara Jane, 4; Corky, 4;
Pattie, 3, and Bonnie. 3. Her
dogs are Mary Frances, a dark
cocker spaniel, and Suzanne, a
redhead. Then there is Richard,
a duck, as well as eight unnamed
ducks (naming them is rather
Impractical since it's all but i'm
possible to tell them apart).
She got most Of her own cats
at the Animal Welfare League.
Three were given to her by their
owners, including 12-year-old
Grandpa Tyler, presented "for
the rest of his natural life" by a
soldier going to Korea.
On Second Thought
The ducks represent the second
thoughts of parents who bought
their offspring ducklings for
Easter gifts, only to have them
grow at an alarming rate there
after. Two of her corps Of nine
simply were slipped into the
cage one night, presumably by
a harassed home owner.
The four cats available for
placement were brought home
from the welfare league for
building up." They include
three females-a long-haired
tiger cat, long-haired gray,
and white cat with domestic
short hair-and a little black,
short haired male. She had the
animals altered at her own ex-
pense to improve their chances
of adoption.
The latest addition is Sambo,
a tiny, spirited mongrel of un-
determined age-probably 3 or

New York Concern
Acquires Building
Al Dupont Circle

The Dupont Circle Building at
1346 Connecticut avenue NV.
has been sold to the Fox-Long
Realty Corp. of New York for
something over So million.
Title settlement was expected
today, winding up negotiations
begun in August. Owned by
Daniel Weitzman & Associate,
the building was bought in 1916
for $1.S million.
The Dupont Circle Building
was the scene of a lengthy bat
tie for possession which began
in 1941 when the then apart
ment hotel was leased to the
Government for offices.
Mrs. v. Valta Parma, last of
the embattled tenants who had
protested the conversion. finally
moved out in 1948. Even the 40
who refused to leave after lobby
rugs and furniture were removed
for Government occupancy had
long since given up.
Mrs. Parma was holding to her
purpose of remaining in her 18th
floor penthouse while rent con-
troll protected her rights, but her
determination wavered when she
learned of the upheaval in con-
nection with construction of the
Dupont Circle underpass.
In the course of the six and
a half years, the courts, a con-
gresSional committee and the
Rent Control Administration
were involved in the battle for
possession.
The buildings sale is being
handled by Samuel w. Barrow
of Randall H. Hagner & Co., who
also handled it's sale in 1916.
The sale is being financed
through the Equitable Life As
Surance Society.

Dewey and Wicks
Head for Showdown
In New York Clash
ey the As.oeloted Pre..

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 16.-
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and Act
ing 1t. Gov. Arthur H. Wicks
headed back to the Capital to-
dey with apparently mistaken
determination to fight their bat
tie to finish in the legislative
arena.
The week end brought lull in
the salvoes from both G. o. P.
camps. Gov. Dewey was at his
farm near Pawling. Wicks was
at his home in Kingston.
Close associates of Mr.. Wicks
pictured him as unyielding in his
resolve to take his case to the
Senate floor, despite heavy pres
sure on him to resign and there
by avert an open showdown at
tomorrow's special session of the
Legislature.
1t was reported that Mr.. Wicks
might deliver a statement on the
Senate floor in his engagement
with the Dewey forces over the
issue of his Sing Sing prison
visits to Joseph S. Fay, labor ex-
tortionist.
Some observers. however
would not rule out the possibility
that Mr.. WickS might retire If
a large majority of Republicans
in the Senate refused to go along
with him at conference called
for II am. tomorrow. just be-
fore the Legislature conveneS.
Representative Dean P. Tay-
lor, Republican State chairman,
predicted Saturday that at least
80 of the 81 Republican Senators
would vote against retaining Mr..
Wicks as majority leader and
temporary president of their
House. In that capacity. Mr.
Wicks has been acting Lieuten-
ant Governor since the resigna-
tion of Frank C.. Moore on
September 80.
On the assumption that Mr..
WickS would lose, Mr.. Taylor
said he believed the Republican
majority should postpone elect
ing a successor until the regular
session in January.
