What Better Subject Than Dogs During Dog Days?

the one that never deceives
him, the one that never
proves ungrateful and treach-
erous, is his dog. A mans
dog stands by him in prosper
ity and in poverty, in health
and in sickness. He will sleep
on the cold ground where the
wintry winds blow and the
snow drifts flercely, II only
he may be near his masters
side. He will kiss the hand
that has no food to offer. He
will lick the wounds and sores
that come in encounter with
the roughness of the world.
He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as If he were
a prince. When all other
friends desert he remains.
When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, he
is as constant in his love as
the sun in its journeys
through the heavens. II for
tune drives the master forth
an outcast in the world,
friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher
privilege than that of accom-
panying, to guard against
danger. to fight against enc
mics; and when the last scene
of all comes and when death
takes the master in its en-
brace and his body is laid
away in the cold ground, no

Suez and Israel

In this country where truth
and the freedom to express 1t
are possible about practically
everything except in the mat
ter Of Palestine and the
Arabs. it is heartening to find
that The Star is fnotiyated by
sincerity and fairness in re-
porting on the Arab Israeli
conflict. So was your editorial
on Suez of August Is mott
waited. I am sure. However.
the way in which you ex-
pressed your good-inten-
toned call, for o settlement
Of the issue of the transit Of
Israeli shipping through the
canal gives the impression
that the onus Of such settle
ment lies with the Egyptians.
The fact is unfortunately
often overlooked that Israel
never enjoyed transit rights
in the ecanal. so that the
deadlock" Of which you
speak has not heen brought
about by any act" on the
part of Egypt. You do not
deny a. person q thing he
never had. The present stu
alton there, which / fully
agree with you is potentially
dangerous" has been brought
about by Israel's repeated
and irresponsible attempts
to whip up a political storm
under the appealing guise Of
freedom of, transit" through
Suez in order to establish q
right where she never en-
joyed one.
a = =
It must be realized that
Israel Is q rebel" state which
was established against the
wishes Of the greater major
ity of the original inhabitants
Of Palestine. All that she
could legitimately lay claim
tots what she gained through
her "act of conquest and oc-
cupation."
Furthermore, the so.called
''bar" on Israeli shipping to
transit the Suez Canal is part
and parcel Of the overall
Palestine case, and the lifting
of this "bar" would be tanta-
mount to the surrender by
the Arabs of further terri
tory and rights to Israel. Suez
is an Egyptian canal first
and an international water
way second, and the Con-
stantinople Convention, rec
ognizing this fact, clearly
gives Egypt the right Of self
protection against a warning
state. Israel is such a state.

neSSeS. ~ SO
AS approved by the Senate and by
the House Civil Service Committee, the
plan provides for $3.50 sharing of the
cost of insuring Government workers
against the financial strains of basic
and major illnesses. The Senate and the
House committee fixed maximum BIZ
weekly premiums at $4.25 for married
employees and their families and at SITS
for single employes-to be matched in
those amounts by the Government. Pri-
vate companies would issue the policies.
However. the House group also set a
minimum of So for married workers and
SIPS for single workers who enroll in
the program. The minimum premium
plan would require an annual contribu-
ton by the Government Of at least
$110 million.
Administration officials had pro-
posed that larger share of the premium
cost be borne by the employees, but it is
not regarded as likely that they will put
up strong fight against the even split

I was deeply touched in the
passing Of Jobe B. Heaton.
Greater love no man has
than by giving his life for
mans best friend - his dog.
This poor unfortunate man
who was well educated, and
from one Of the best families
in South Carolina, died so
that his dog might live.
Surely. this must have pulled
the heart strings Of everyone
who read about it.
Many years ago, a great
statesman, from Missouri,
Senator Vest, delivered one
Of the most beautiful tributes
to a dog I ever read. He said:
THE best human friend a
man has in the world may
turn against him and become
MS enemy. His son or daugh-
ter that he has reared with
loving care may prove UNI
grateful. Those who are near
est and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our hap
piness and our good name
may become traitors to their
faith. The money that a man
has he may lose. It flies away
from him, perhaps, when he
needs 1t most. A mans rep
utation may be sacrificed in
q moment of ill-considered
action. The people who are
prone to fall on their knees
to do US honor when success
is with us may be the first to
throw the stone of malice
when failure settles its cloud
upon our heads. The one abb

sumption Of work In the steel

efforts would be required to
adjust the differences.
But to force o national
emergency is not the part Of
wisdom. National security de-
mands steel for our arma-
ments. It also demands a
strong economy, which the
continued steel strike threat
ems. With world conditions
as they are. this is no time
to play with fire.
Many wage demands in
other industries are in the
works, including some major
industries. Steel has set the
pace for years. and 1t is easy
to understand what will hap
pen If there is a further boost
in wages and prices Of steel.
It may be that steel will find
1t possible to give some wage
increase, without an increase
in prices. If this cannot be
done. this is no time to yield.
The general public not only
is forced to pay more for
what it. consumes by these
constant increases in wages
and prices. but the people
generally are forced to pay
high taxes so the Federal
Government can pay for the
arms, ships, missiles and
other things it must have for

time activities. such as the
money expended for high
ways.
It will be a sad day for

lean way of life If the Gov
eminent is forced by these
continued conflicts between
labor and management to go
to wage and price fixing laws.
They should be a last resort.
But to avoid them it is nee
essary for leaders in labor
and industry to show re-
straint. The fault is not all
on the side of labor by any
means. Cupidity and unwar-
ranted increases In prices

reveals that never has either

a profit has raised its head
in the steel industry, labor
has demanded wage in

creased costs and to continue
to produce profits.
At the same time, this
chain Of increases has forced
consumers Of steel products
Of all kinds-and steel goes
into thousands Of modern
products-to pay more for
what they need, increasing
the cost of living. The vital
question today is how long
can this kind Of thing con-
tinue without disastrous in
flation.
Labor certainly is entitled
to a fair wage. But anyone

them said, not knowing he
was being overheard. There
came that famous growl.

The other Is personal with
me. My mother had three
sons In the service, and in
my letters to her I would try
to calm what ! thought might
be her fears. My effort was
needless. With aliases and
such she followed our doings.
