.Lyng Bill OK'd To Let Women Be
 Cocktail Mattresses

JUNEAU R-Women who might like to get jobs as cocktail wait resses would get break under a bill approved by the Senate Fri day on to vote
 It would allow women, over 21 and-we quote-"of good moral character" to serve liquor in ho- tels or restaurants which serve meals on a regular basis.
 They still would be barred from acting as waitresses in straight liquor establishments.
 The bill was introduced by Sen. Howard Lyng D-Nome), who made a long argument for the working girl and the added tour ist attraction.
 The bill doesn't stand too mich of a chance to be enacted, how ever. At this late stage of the ses- sion, it would have to get a two thirds vote of the House even to let it get through the doors for consideration, and it has consider able opposition. Enough of it was expressed in the Senate to make it surprise when the bill won majority approval.
 Lyng told the Senate the ban on barmaids was written into law originally in 1889 in order to get the one extra vote necessary in the Senate to legalize liquor in the territory. He said it was a concession to a prohibitionist and it was time to erase it from the books and give the women new job opportunities

Better Understanding of Dogs by
 Owners and Strangers Will Help
 Solve Problems Faced by Visitors

Only a better understanding of dogs by their owners and the per sons whose duties take them into strange homes can solve the spe- cial dog problems faced daily by delivery men, service men and meter readers, states the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York.
 The problems are serious enough to have a place on the agenda of the American Gas Associations annual conference on accident prevention, the most recent one of which was addressed by Evelyn Monte, of the Center's staff.
 Although it is true that owners are most often to blame for the misdeeds of their dogs perhaps realization of the dogs side of the case will help the delivery man.
 Dogs have strong protective

stranger who comes to their do- main they are only doing their duty. There is nothing dangerous about a bark. It is merely the dogs way of alerting his owner that someone is there. If the own CT will take a little time to intro duce the dog properly on the de livery mans first call, it will help greatly to prevent future misun- derstandings or trouble. The Gen. ter's advice to owners is to walk out with your dog on a leash, talking in a friendly, calm man. her to the visitor. Go up to him and stand there with your dog to let the dog know that this is a welcome visitor.
 7 Above all, dog must be all lowed to get the smell of a strange caller. A dog gets acquainted by his nose, not by what he sees. Until he can come up and sniff at pant legs or feet he may be sus- picious. If person kicks or strikes at dog or turns and runs, the dog can only think that his suspicious are we'll founded.
 Dogs dislike sudden, quick movements. They resent a strange hand reaching out suddenly to pat them on the head before they have had a chance to smell that hand or the person it belongs to.
 The average dog will give you no trouble if you first stand still, keep your hands at your sides, give him time to make the ad- vances, and then keep talking to him in low, friendly tone of voice.
 The eyesight of dog isn't as keen as his other senses and the outline of person dressed differ ently, such as wearing a uniform, or carrying a bundle, may make him suspicious. If you are carry ing some such object, put it down low so the dog can smell it and thus "see" what it is. Wrenches or flashlights in the hands of ser vice men appear menacing to dog, so such articles should be carried in pockets.
 There is a saying that dogs can smell the fact that you are afraid of them. There's no doubt that the ammonia-like odor when a per- son breaks out in precipitation must be discernible to a dog but it doesn't mean that he's going to attack you. A calm manner and conversational tone of voice can help overcome your own fears as we'll as reassure the dog, states the Center.
 Sometimes a big, unruly pup jumps on a stranger purely in friendliness or play. This should n't be alarming. Here, again, the advice is to stand still, take him by the collar and talk to him. Striking at him, screaming or running will only excite him and may lead to wholly unnecessary results, such as knocking you off your feet.
 A strange dog that is actually menacing may stand stiff-legged and prevent you from venturing further, but 1t would be extereme- ly rare for even the most aggres- sive dog to attack or bite if you remain perfectly still, advises the Center. If necessary, cou can then back away slowly.

Harry Truman said recently that some Republicans have been making fool statements. Even if this were news, which it decided ly isn't, no one would be sur prised, as it is common knowl- edge that the Democrats don't have monopoly on making fool statements.

angel.
He constantly battIed the prison
administration to secure proper
food, adequate medical attention
additional clothing, and small per-
sonai favors for captured Ameri-
cans.
And now he wants to die quietly
and peacefully. "No publicity"
Camp authorities were so dis
organized at times that Il often
took half year for the names of
prisoners to reach the American
Red Cross.
Father Agnol spent day after day
gathering the names of more than
1890 American prisoners in the
camp. Then he took them to Vati-
can City where they were broad
cast over the church radio.
Diocesan monitors in the United
States picked UP the messages and
relayed the tidings to grateful
wives and parents through parish
priests.
Most of these parents, wives, and
families had had no other word
except that ominouS Missing in
Action" telegram that tore so many
hearts to shreds during the war.
Father Agnol helped salve many
of those wounds by his actions.

DR.. Malik said that support has
come notably from Europe, Latin
America, and the United States.
"a number of nations, and I can't
name them here, have yet to show
they comprehend the conflict in
these terms. And others understand
it but are hamstrung by govern
ment demands and policy in put

During the commemorative ses.

Say Prelate
Facing Red
Prosecutors

VATICAN CITY - radio, NC)--
His Eminence Stefan Cardinal
Wyszynski, Primate of Poland, is
probably under steadily increasing
pressure to make some kind of
declaration that the Catholic
Church in Poland is free"
The truth of these reports was
in effect accepted in front page
article by Federico Alessandrini,
staff member of Osservatore Ro-
mano, Vatican City daily, headlin-
ed Where's Cardinal Wyszynski?"
Referring first to unconfirmed
reports that the Cardinal is recup-
Grating from a severe chest opera
ton in clinic near Warsaw, the
article stated that "other rumors
assert the Cardinal is being sub
jected in his new place of con-
finement to cajolements and pres
sures by those who in commun-
isn1's name manage the drama of
PolandS CatnoliclSm.
with long interrogationS, flat
teries, open and yelled threats +.
his prosecutors attempt to make
the Cardinal admit that Polish Ca.
tholicism exists in freedom" it
said.
According to Osservatore, Mos.
COW needs "an appearance of con
ciliation" with Polish Catholicism
to disintegrate Catholic forces in
those free countries still resisting
communism. Attempts are being
made to deprive Catholicism of its
substance, while, as seen from the
outside, its form is being preserv
ed, the paper stated.
