BLIND MAN TO

FIGHT FOR DO]

Will Go to Court Defending ‘Seeing Eye’ Pal.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 (U’ P.)— Eddie Burke turned his face toward the window and the bright October]. sunshine streaming in. Blind since 1033, he could only feel its warmth. “F think 111 fight it out right here,” he said. \ He tapped a table with nervous fingers. His wife was busy at a

“The way I see it, it’s a test case,” Burke said, “I mean if they do this to me, they can do the same to any blind veteran in the United States who comes home with a seeing-eye dog. Kids are alike wherever you g0. There'll always be some who pester dogs.” Burke's German shepherd, Ginger, was accused of viciousness

York authorities demanded that Ginger be examined to determine if the dog must be destroyed. Burke had Ginger taken to New Jersey.

Runs a Newsstand

“Now I've been ordered into court next Tuesday,” he said. “They tell me that I'm supposed to sign an affidavit to keep Ginger out of New York, and theyll leave him alone. I don’t know what I'll do yet, but I think I'll stay and fight.” Burke, who was blinded in an electrical accident in 1933, runs a newsstand. . 2 “I haven't worked for four weeks,” he said. “Without Ginger I just can't get around. I must leave the house at 3:30 in the morning and my wife can't guide me at that hour. “There never was a dog like Ginger. .You don’t know how much you get to depending on a dog until you're blind. I wouldn't give Ginger up for Mayor LaGuardia and the whole darned town. He's just a baby, that’s all, and we love him. We're going to keep him.” Muzzles Stolen

Burke said he couldn't go to New Jersey because he would get no help from the state for a year and he had insufficient money to carry him through the year, He said he had purchased 11 muzzles for Ginger but older children came to his stand and played with the dog. “They knew he wouldn't bite, unless you cuffed him around,” Burke . said. “They stole the muzzles and sold them. I couldn't keep one on him.” . : “My lawyer tells me just to sit tight here at home and let him do the fighting, but I don't know.” Sometimes, he sald, things get pretty hard for an ordinary man to figure out.
