Third Tag Allowed
For Dog, n2 More
Departments OK 1t

Under a new legal ruling issued
today Washington's dogs posi-
bly, will be permitted to wear
three tags on their collars some
day instead Of only the two al
lowed now.
The legal opinion came from
the corporation counsel's Office
as a result of a request by the
Tail Waggers' Club which feels
that dogs should have an identi-
fication ia gas well as the re-
quired license and vaccination
tags.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West said he didn't see any OBJ
lection to a third tag so long
as it does not resemble in size
or in shape either of the tags
now required.
However. the Police Depart
ment and the Licenses and In
spections Department will be
asked for their views on the sub
ject before the Commissioners
act.

comforting with Secretary Hull
about non-partisanship in for
eign policy. In a sense, a new
era of bi-partisanship then had
its birth.
Victory in the war, and its
opportunities, were in sight.
However, there was danger that
the opportunities would be lost
If the then presidential cam
paign led to foreign policy being
immersed in partisan politics.
Secretary Hull represented
President Roosevelt and I rep
resented Gov. Dewey in CONVEX
sations, which Secretary Hull
has said made a great contribu-
ton to lifting foreign policy
above partisanship. I pay trib-
ute to Secretary Hull's conviction
that this was possible.
Secretary Hull, I am glad to
say, still retains his vast fund
Of courage and idealism on which
I draw when I see him from
time to time,
II would like to observe that
the non-partisan approach to
foreign policy then begun has
continued throughout the ensu-
ing decade. During the period Of
the Democratic administration,
the Republicans were available
for consultation, and gave royal
support to resultant policies.
"I feel that the Democrats
have been similarly cooperative
during the Eisenhower admin
istration. I myself have main
tanned close consultation with
Congress on a bipartisan basis.
We have fully and intimately
discussed all phases of foreign
policy.
we have, I believe, developed
a national policy of stability and
continuity such as is needed in
these dangerous times"

Mr.. Dulles replied the instruc-

added there are a number OF
islands the defense Of which

with the defense of Formosa that
the military might be justified in
concluding that they, too, should
