Associated Press staff Writer

Everyone, it seems, would
like the White House to be
called the White House.
And so, the House Interior
Committee decided yesterday
that should continue to be
its name.
Representative J. T. Ru-
therford, Democrat of Texas,
had introduced a bill to give
the Presidents home the des-
ignation of a national monu-
ment. He held hearings on
the bill as chairman of an
interior subcommittee.
Calling the White House a
national monument, MIR.
Rutherford reported yester-
day, became q subject Of
'levity. Nobody, he said, want
ed the White House to be
known either as q museum
or national monument.
Voted on Yesterday
So, the full committee voted
yesterday that in its legal
description the White House
small continue to be known
as the White House"
The committee diligently
deleted words referring to the
Executive Mansion as a ma
tional monument. However,
Mr.. Rutherford said, the bill,
as approved, gives the White
House the status of a monu-
ment under protection of the
National Monument act.
Thus, White House furni-
ture and decorative objects
would be protected by putting
them under the Jurisdiction
Of the National Park Service.
The agency will be required
to store at the Smithsonian
Institution such objects as a
First Lady may prefer not to
use while occupying the man
sion.
This provision had the
backing Of the present First
Lady, Mrs. John F. Kennedy.
Serves a Purpose
Mr.. Rutherford said this
would stop such things as
finding a Madison table in
use as a sawhorse in the
White House workroom or

Hot Weather Care
For Your Dog

Those hot summer dog"
days can be as rough on
Rover as they are on you.
But while he can't talk about
the weather, you can do
something about it-for him.
You can help him bear the
heat by following the same
fundamental rules you apply
to yourself.
Though children appear to
be full of inexhaustible en-
ergy no matter how high the
mercury, don't let them put
the pet pup through his
PAGES during the heat of the
day. Confine the dogs run
ming, ball playing and other
exercising to the cooler early
morning and evening hours.
(And it's better for the chill
dren, too0
When walking your pet.
stroll on the shady side of
the street - sun-baked as
phalt and tar surfaces tend
to stick to paws and shoes.
A Quiet Spot
Provide a dark, quiet, airy
spot where Rover can rest
comfortably when the sun
Is strongest. If he lives in a
dog house, water down his
quarters frequently.
Motoring with Rover pre-
sents its own problems in the
summer. He, too, can become
carsick in a hot, Stuffy auto.
If he does, the American So
ciety for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals advises
giving q 5-grain sodium bro
mide tablet in a tablespoon
of water for a small dog.
Double the dose for a larger
animal.
II you must leave him in
the car for a short period,
park in the shade and lower
all windows two inches.
When you take off again,
with windows down, make
sure his head is inside the
car.
There's nothing like a cool
dip In a lake to refresh you
when the temperature scars.
And there's nothing like a
sponge bath to do the same
for your dog. Sponge bathe
especially If there is unusu-
al painting. Never throw your
pet into a cold lake or pool.
He'll occasionally enjoy a
swim at the shore, but after
any saltwater dip, carefully
wash his eyes and ears with
fresh water.
Feeding
What about feeding? At
one dog care center, near St.
Evening star., 1961-08-24

Louis, the $50 dogs there
during the summer get light
feelings and a continuous
supply Of cool fresh water.
If your pup takes his meals
outside, in the yard or gar
den, they urge you to keep
him away from areas recent
ly busted with poisonous in
secticideS. It's a good idea to
use only agents guaranteed
safe for animals.
Above all, remember that
we humans aren't the only
ones plagued by mosquitoes,
and other insect pests in the
summer. The little nuiSances
find dogs just as appetizing.
And your pet is hardly able
to defend himself with re-
pellent sprays and lotions.
Examine him frequently
for fleaS, lice, ticks and mos
quitoeS. Don't assume that
your dog is immune to these
tiny enemies because he's
never been bothered before,
or because you give him ex-
cellent care. Even if Rover
has Immediately clean
quarters and the best food.
it's almost impossible to iso-
late him from other dogs,
places where other dogs have
been, or to saddle him with a
permanent screen.
In return for all the affec-
ton and pleasure your pet
gives you throughout the
year. give him the special
attention he needs during
those trying summer dog
days.
