Los ANGELES. Sept. "a
Senate subcommittee blasting at
q vicious racket in FILA home
remodeling loans today hears
more pathetic tales from swim
died homeowners.
Senator Bennett. Republican.
Of Utah said yesterday, after a
similar parade Of woe, that
stories of the swindles had made
him sick.
The Senator added that the
banks which discounted the pa
per are much to blame. In fact,
he forecast the end of FILA home
modernization loans unless banks
police them better.
These swindlers would dis
appear promptly if they couldn't
get the banks to discount their
fraudulent paper" he said, add
ing that 1t would not be real
istic for the FILA to police the
hundreds Of thousands of small
loans.
SUEDE Shoe Boys"
The subcommittee heard wit
nesses tell Of such rackets as
"the model home PITCH" pro-
NOTED by glib, high-pressure
statesmen dubbed "the Suede
Shoe Boys"
The racket worked this way:
A homeowner. usually in the
modest income racket, was ap-
preached by the smooth-talk-
ing salesman and informed that
his house had been nominated
as a model home for. say, q
mastic spray paint job.
The job, according to the
salesman, would be done at bare
cost if the homeowner would
allow his house to be shown to
other prospective customers.
The householder then signs
for an FILA loan for the job.
usually at an average cost of
$500 for a modest two bedroom
house.
Guarantee Worthless.
Usually the job was guaran-
teed for 10 years to a lifetime,
but often the paint started
cracking within 80 days. And
the same job done properly by
a reliable painter would have
cost only half as much.
There were other variations.
Miss Muriel Tsvetkoff, gen.
eral manager of the San Fran
cisco Better Business Bureau.
said thousands of homeowners
in her area made complaints.
"All of them felt that the
FILA and the banks guaranteed
the quality of the work." she
said.

SAC PAULO. Brazil, July 26.
"A try at making cigarettes
safe from any threat Of heart
disease and cancer was proposed
today by DR.. e. Cuyler Ham
mond of Yale University.
The answer. he said in a paper
for the sixth International
Cancer Congress here, could be
to develop new types or strains
of cigarette tobacco free of the
agents which some scientists sus-
pect may be causing or contrib
uting to heart trouble and
cancer.
This might be accomplished in
two years, but it might take as
many as seven. the specialist
said.
DR.. Hammond is a biometri-
clan at Yale and also director
of statistical research for the
American Cancer Society. He
and DR.. Daniel Horn reported
last month that men aged so

cigarettes. he went on. could be
in the special types of tobacco
which have been developed for
cigarettes.
These tobaccoS, he specialized,
could cont ain one or more chem
icals which adversely affect. the
heart. blood vessels, lungs or
other tissues of some people.
From the viewpoint of the
public, of those who earn their
living from tobacco and of Gov
eminent tax experts, the hap

he lost no time finding me.

Sanderlin continued. But ]

that couldn't be put off. But you

sure did hate to be tied up. But
l wrote Helen a note, telling her
to tie him up SO he wouldn't try
to follow me into town. 1 knew
if she didn't, he would come back
to where he had left me and
finding me gone and having heard
me talk about my business, he
would set off to catch up with me.
when l finally got home, that
night, Helen was worried about
the way Brown had been acting
He had come to the house with a
note, she said, but for the first
time in his life he would back
off from her when she tried to
reach it. He ran away from her
and went to lie down under a
pecan tree, with the note between
his paws. When she went and
reached for it, he would grab il
up and run under another tree
Helen said she finally gave up
and Brown had spent the whole

it up on the front porch after
dark-but never letting Helen get
her finger on it.
well, don't tell me that dog
wasn't sharper than fox. What
he had done was to stop along
the way home to read the note
He wasn't going to disobey me by
not going home like l told him
But if he didn't get tied up, that
was Helen's disobeidence and
wasn't any of his affair.
81 always knew Brown was
smart" Sanderlin concluded, but
hadn't known he could read"
That ended the dog yarns for
that day. Nobody even tried to top
the hunter from the Carver
Creek section of Bladen County,
least of all this writer. She would,
however, be glad to hear of a
Brunswick or Columbus dog
dead or alive-that might have

pressure is off. 1t was at such a
yarn-swapping get-together that
Hobson Sanderlin told the story
about Brown" which appeared
in these columns not long ago.
Brown" was the dog that retriev-
ed, according to Hob Sanderlin
(and it must be true, because
Helen Sanderlin, his wife, nodded
assent), more than 1000 quail
each season, for a full ten years.
That wasn't the most remark
able story about Brown" To be-
gin with, Brown" was not what
hunters know as a natural re-
triever." Some dogs are; others
aren't. Brown" had to be taught
and trained to watch where a
bird fell, and then retrieve it on
command. He wasn't too easy to
teach. Unlike many puppies, he
didn't seem to be interested in
fetching things to his master. 1t
took lot of patient workout it
made Hobson Sanderlin more con-
WINGED than he had been before
that the forced retrievers" will
get more birds in the course of a
lifetime than any natural re-
triever" ever born.
THE way I figure it is this"
explained Hob. I'm training a re-
luctant puppy you instill into him,
first of all, the habit of respond
ing instantly and unquestioningly
to command. It's like any kind of
obedience training-except that
in working with birds, the dog
learns that he has to do some pref
ty sharp thinking. 1t develops his
intelligence. He learns that he
has to be at least as smart as a
quail-and, let me tell you, over
old American Bob White was
plenty smart.
Anyway, like l was saying, a
good bird dog develops remark
able intelligence. He gets to be
a real companion to his master.
He likes to listen to conversation
and don't believe he doesn't
take in a lot of it. 1t becomes
second nature for him to under
stand what his master wants. You
get to a point where you don't
have to teach or train a good dog
i mean a dog like 'Brown'-just
tell him what you want, and that's
what you will get.
Back in the days when l just
couldn't stand to stay indoors or
be without Brown and my gun
any day in the hunting season, l
used to remember things l ought
TO have taken care of before / left
home. One day, thought of some
thing that / just had to tell Helen
about. But how could l leave some
good shooting? Well sir, talked
with Brown about it and told
him / guessed he would have to
take Helen a note. ! wrote it and
gave it to him and told him to
light off home and get me back an
answer as quick as he could.
Brown wasn't long coming
back-with an answer. He had
gone straight to Helen and put
my note in her hand.
1T got to be a regular practice
for me to send word to Helen
about this or that. Brown saved
my many a trip home. Nothing
could tempt him to tarry along
