BOXER
MRS. C. B. D., Cheuy Chase

MRS. c. B. D., CheUg Chase
Finally there's time for
letter to report on the Boxer
Daschound letters of last
spring. Every one was so kind
and helpful and now that
everything is all settled-in, I
want to report.
We settled on a boxer, and
bought him last summer with
the provision that we take him
in September. While we were
at home, before leaving for
vacation, we had Bambi (our
pups name) visit us several
times a week so we had the joy
of him when he was quite
small, and also have pictures
of various stages.
He was Az -months-old
when we got him, and we think
it's a good age since they
seem more easily trained then.
He was raised in a home and
could have more attention and
affection, which we think has
helped bring out his naturally
affectionate nature.
I took the advice of those
who advised getting a good dog
rather than a So-called bar
gain, and we feel we have a
fine specimen should we' care
to show him for breed at a
later date.
His obedience training was
begun at about five months,
and contrary to the opinion of
many that puppy can't con-
centrate enough to warrant
training at that age, he had
done beautifully. In a dry
run, so to speak, of the basic
test our class will get on
November 9, he got an SO out
of a possible 100, with one fault
being due to my handling Of
him incorrectly.
His training has paid off
beautifully already in traffic
and shopping where he sits
quietly or "heels" at the re-
quired speed. I intend to
continue his training right
along and hope to be able to
carry him to obedience cham
pionship-and will, if I can
learn enough to teach him!
Obedience training is par
ticularly important with the
larger breeds, and can GER
tainly save much physical
strain if heeling is taught while
the owner is ahead on strength.
Dogs are taught to mix with
other dogs and can have any
tendencies to scrap nipped in
the bud. With more advanced
training there are many fea-
lures which may save your
dogs life, such as a command
TO stay" if traffic should en-
danger your dog while off the
lead.
This is a long letter, but
with all the interest shown
when I wrote in, I did want
those answering to know how
much they helped and how I
appreciated it. incidentally,
it has been interesting to see
how many read the pros and
cons. One of our obedience
trainers was particularly in
terested in one of the letters
that suggested getting a good
dog and also gave much infor-
nation concerning training.
For a beginner, I have quite a
library-thanks to RICH!
And now for a request:
Please, some suggestions for
Christmas gifts to one in
Korea. I seem stuck on food.

Has any one had any ex-
perience using the hand"
dishwasher, the gadget that is
put on the sink in place of
the regular faucets, has a tank
to hold the detergent and a
brush that will give either
suds or rinse water? It's so
much cheaper than an auto
matte dishwaSher, and sup
posedly is only a little more
work than preparing the
dishes for the automatic.
How about washing glasses,
Silverware and pans? Does the
brush get into the corners and
creviceS?
Let me remind people not
to burn their leaves, now that
fall is here. They are valuable
for plants and gardens. Put
them in your compost or make
a pile and incloSe it with
chicken wire, or mulch directly
on flower bed. garden or
around plants. Shredded leaves
decompose faster, but all will
eventually make wonderful leaf
mold. Sprinkle with ground
limestone unless you want acid
compost.

Donald Cook Quits SEC,
White House 10 Fix Date

Donald c. Cook resigned today
as a member and chairman of
the Securities and Exchange
Commission, effective at a date
to be fixed by the White House.
Mr.. Cook, who has had two
tours Of duty with the SEC since
1885, is a Democrat but in his
letter of resignation he said that
his decision to step out "does
not reflect any Judgment that
continued services with the COM
mission under your -administra-
ton would be incompatible with
my views on Federal regulatory
policies in the utilities and Sc
curities field"
Mr.. Cook first came to the
SEC in 1895 and stayed until
1945. After service then in the
Justice Department and a period
of private law practice he re-
turned to the commission in
1949. His present term does not
expire until June 5. 1854.

2 Aides Held in $6,352 Theft
AT GSI Cafe Counting Room

with their answers during a lie
detector test. This is the story
they told in a signed statement:
Both Capps and Ryan were
employed to pick up and count
receipts from GSI's main Gov
ernment agency cafeterias.
Money Put in OvercOat.
On February 6, Capps was
working at the firms accounting
room at 1135 Twenty-f1rst street
NV, accepting and counting re-
ceipts brought in by trucks.
Taking a bag from the Navy
Annex, he emptied all but two
envelopes of money. They were
still in the bag when he dropped
it to the floor and kicked it under
table.
Later, he removed the enve-
lopes and slipped them into
Ryan's overcoat, hanging in the
room. At $3.50 pm, Ryan took
the overcoat and left for the day.
Later that evening they met
in front of a Georgia avenue
tavern and split the money.
In Florida on Sick Leave.
Ryan said his went on a Flor
ida spree at a time he was osten-
Sibly on sick leave. Capps said
he pocketed 500 and threw the
rest into the brush at Arlington
Ridge road and Army-Navy drive.
Police have been unable to find
the money, and believe some one
found it ahead Of them.
Detective Sergts. Albert r.
Mode and r. c. Schwab, who
broke the case, decided 1t must
have been an inside job unless
the money envelopes had been
lost.
The two were charged with
grand larceny at a hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner
Cyril S. Lawrence and were held
for the grand jury in $1,000
bond each.
Ryan, a native Of Warrenton,
Va, where his mother still lives,
was married a short time ago.
Capps. employed by GSI for

Lowe Seeks to Consolidate
District Inspection Systems
Will Try to Eliminate Duplication to
Suve Money and Increase Efficiency

to get rid of the present serious
delays.
Because of the labyrinth of
agencies, forms, inspections and
procedures, we will have to start
out by doing the existing inspec-
ton work as simply as possible
and gradually cut back on the
items that experience shows can
be eliminated"
The goal. he said, is to get
more items inspected for less
money. He doubted if any in
spectors would lose their jobs
because of the backlog of inspec-
tions which still have to be
made. At the same time, he ex-
planned, vacancies would not be
fllled-thus reducing the num-
ber OF inspectors without lay
offs.
He predicted that in a year
or two under the program he
visualizes, the remaining inspec-
tors would be better paid be-
cause more would be required
Of them and their qualifications
would be higher.
The personnel Office, he said,
will have to plan a training pro-
gram so an inspector can be-
come familiar with the regula-
tions of all the agencies for
which he would inspect. This
training, he said, probably will
involve classroom work complete
with practical illustrations of
just what to look for under each
set of regulations. He cited the
six-week training course given
in the fire marshal's Office as an
example.
Once trained to look for COM
pliance with several sets of regu-
lations. the inspectors would be
given a check list and a manual.

plify the forms on which inspec-

The Districts reorganization
chief will recommend a program
to the Commissioners aimed at
cutting down duplication of in
spections and saving manhours
and money.
Schuyler Lowe, District direc-
tor Of general administration,
said today his recommendations
will be ready in q few weeks.
He said the first step will be
to combine a number Of District
agencies-most Of which have
inspection duties-into q single
department. Then, he explained
the process Of consolidating the
inspections win be worked out
gradually.
The fact that 6 to ~ different
inspectors from as many differ
ent agencies are covering the
same ground was discussed in
The Star last Sunday.
Few Specialists Needed.
Mr.. Lowe said his Office had
been studying the obvious dupli-
cations in inspection work since
last December and had felt the
need for combining the inspec-
tions both for economy and
more coverage Of the city.
He visualized a general inspec-
tion service with one inspector
covering items now checked by
half a dozen. In addition, there
would be specialists for particu-
larly technical work. But Mr.
Lowe emphasized that the num-
ber of specialists required is only
a small minority Of the total
needed for other inspections.

some consolidation of these in
spections should be made both

Asks $3o Million for
Health and Welfare
Increases in GoIIineer

Sought by City Heads
By George Beveridqe

More than one-tenth of the
city's proposed $337 million pub
lie works expenditures are ear
marked to provide long needed
hospital and public welfare i'm
provements.
AS part of the eight-year pro-
gram Congress will be asked this
year to authorize, the Commis-
sioners have allotted $29, ,180, 900
for health and hospitals and
$10.355. 900 for public welfare.
Highlighting the hospital pro-
gram, announced today, are q
400-bed increase at the Glenn
Dale Sanatorium and a new 300
bed unit at Gallinger. The latter
unit would be used temporarily
by ambulatory tuberculosis pa
tients. and converted later for
use as a permanent out-patient
and administration center.
Bulk Of the welfare proposals
are aimed at completion of the
Children's Center near Laurel,
Md.
Half in Federal Request.
Under the financial pattern
proposed by the Commissioners,
half Of the total $39. 9.085, 900 cost
will be requested in a Federal
grant, and half of an interest
free Federal loan to the city.
Numerous other parts of the
public works program would be
paid entirely or in large part by
District revenues.
The following hospital pro-
poSals represent changes in rec
concentrations made 10 days ago

building at Glenn Dale, which
would result in a net increase
of 400 beds after conversion of
a present hospital building to a
nurses home. The Clark Com
mittee recommended only that a
400-bed addition be constructed.
The Commissioners said a new
400-bed hospital. with needed
utility buildings. would cost about
$11.5 million. They said con-
Struction Of a modern 80O-bed
hospital building, plus additional
housing and utility units, would

Committee proposal that a So

tuberculosis patients. Instead,

group-be built Immediately and
