LAUDS ACTION ON DIES GROLP

| Rep. Halleck Says Expose

Of Communists in U. S. Government Sought.

Times Special ; WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.) expressed pleasure today at the fact that his first vote as a new member of the House Rules Committee was cast_to continue ' the Dies Committee investigation of un-American activities. “As the most ardent friends of the Dies Committee admit, some in conRep.

“But when you weigh these errors alongside the good which has been accomplished, it must be conceded that the Dies Committee merits continuation.

City’s Newest Mascot

Gets Safety Board Okay

Laddie Boy became an unofficial member of the family of City em ployees today after the Safety Board yesterday could think of no objection to having ‘him around the sanitation plant. Laddie Boy is a full grown :St. Bernard dog, who despite his rescue from death by sanitation plant employees, seemed to be concerned only about the kind of food he was getting as He explored his new environs. It’s quite a change for a dog from the comparative freedom of a farm to the restrictions at the sanitation plant, where Laddie Boy is being trained to obey the danger signs and to keep strictly away from the plant’s operation. Sewage Gang Foreman Herb Crist bought Laddie Boy from the City Dog Pound Jan. 18, a day or two

before he was scheduled to die in|.

the Pound’s lethal gas chamber. The big St. Bernard, whom plant employees think is fullbred, although they don’t particularly care, was left at the Pound by a Fortville resident ‘Dec. 29. The Fortville man explained he could not keep the dog because hearby farmers complained it was killing sheep. To ransom Laddie Boy, plant employees collected a total of $4 by

contributing a quarter each to what became known as the “Save Laddie Boy Fund.” As soon as the money was collected, Mr. Crist sped to the Dog Pound and returned .with Laddie Boy, who was presented triumphantly to the employees. “We're going to keep up this dog,”| Mr. Crist told the men. “He's our responsibility and we’ll have to feed him, so each of you take turns bringing scraps from: home every lay ” Plant employees emphasized the fact that Laddie Boy belonged to them and could not in any manner be considered as on the City payroll. : They admitted, however, that in a sense Laddie Boy was part of the family and that, they said, seemed to satisfy the dog, too.
