. AT THE STEWART-WARNER CORP. the saying: . that's dog is a man’s best friend is a reality. This reality is “Mike,” a German shepherd SeeingEye dog and Henry Moses, machinist. Five days a week Mike takes his master to work. And Mike knows his job. It's-a familiar sight to see them walking down the aisle in the machine shop. ~~ As they pass the lines of ‘machifes they run a gantlet of “Hi ya, Henry—hey Mike.” Mr. Moses nodded in the direction of the voices but Mike was intent on getting his master to the drill press. Big friendly Mike ordindrily would have wagged his tail, held up his paw but not now. Mike paused before a drill press and inched between a crate of heater parts. Another pause—a turn and Mike's job was over for awhile.

Mike Was Graduation Gift

STANDING TO ONE SIDE, Mike waited until Mr. Moses spread several layers of newspapers on the floor, Then Mike gingerly stepped on the newsprint, made a couple of turns and spiraled down to rest. . . “I have to do that for Mike. It's pretty dirty with oll and stuff on the floor and that keeps him clean,” Mr. Moses said. : In 1942 when Mr. Moses was graduated from Georgetown university in Washington, D, C., members of the class presented him with Mike. “I think I was happier getting Mike than I was with the diploma.” Mike moved, “Look at that big baby. He wants me to get to work,” Mr. Moses explained as he rubbed Mike's ears. There should be some way to tell Mike that Mr. Moses’ efficiency rating is above the average. Mike has the routine of going to work down pat. First thing in the morning he takes his master out for breakfast. Usually there's a walk before bustime. Then Mike gets his dinner, At the plant the first stop is the time ‘clock then the cloakroom. From there it’s the shop itself. When the rest period bell sounds Mike knows where to go. “Mike likes the dinner bell because he knows after I eat he gets to go out for a short walk,” Mr. Moses said.

Wouldn't Part With Mike

PRIOR TO HIS job at Stewart-Whxner, Mr. Moses was a placement agent for the blind. An opportunity for further training in placement and social service work came from the federal government.

Wild-Eyed 1946

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26—Only five days more of 1946 ave left to go and I must say I'm sorry; I doubt if there ever has been a wilder-eyed" Washington year than this one. It had its tears, of course, but it also

provided more than its shares of smiles and bellylaughs. . Here's Father Time with a chuckle in his whiskers, functioning as the best gag-writer of them all: The public land office investigated the possibility of deeding a segment of the moon to Bob Burns and

his Uncle Fuddy. The congressional florist personally pinned an orchid on the chest of Jane Russell; I never saw a nervouser horticulturist. The British ambassador imported a private bagpiper. The Russian embassy called a press conference, which revealed among other things that the envoy from Moscow likes garlic in his stew.

5-Sided Bread

THE . SIX restaurants in the Pentagon, biggest office building in the world and now perhaps one of the emptiest, baked their bread in five-sided loaves. The army brought a jet plane to demonstrate in Washington, but at the last red-faced moment discovered it had forgotten to bring along the kerosene. Old-fashioned gasoline won't work in the newest aerial scooter, Two Mississippi politicos got into a fist fight in the senate caucus room and smashed a senatorial cuspidor on the red velvet carpet. Fred Orsinger placed on his commerce department wall a stuffed fur-bearing trout (leopard fur) to prove there is such a beast. The government came to the official conclusion that the two-pant suit is not a crime. The surplus property boys sold $500,000 worth of new machinery for junk; turned out they peddled it sight-unseen because it was stored on a vacant lot,

Movie Stunt

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 26.—There is, Eddie Albert admitted today, practically no limit to what a movie actor’ll da for publicity. Take him. He's tackled everything from diving for octopuses to wrassling a cageful of lions. With teeth. Sometimes those stunts can get dangerous. Once in a while his press agent hires a man to stand by. ust in case, But he always makes sure there's a camera on hand. Albert, who used to be one of Hollywood's pet screwballs, is a publicity man’s dream. He'll go for almost anything. “As long as it's not in bad taste,” he added. “Just a good-natured sucker. That's me.” And the boys he pays to keep his name and picture in the public print make the most of it. “The latest stunt was diving for octopuses,” Albert explained. “We went down off the southern California oast. And I chased the darn things for hours while the flash bulbs popped.” He even took along his beautiful Mexican bride, Margo. She posed, too. For. “cheesecake.”

Man

In a Cage Full of Lions

“THEY GOT HER into a skimpy, two-piece bath-, ing suit,” Albert grinned. “Me, I'm not so hot on the g-art. Knobby and a little bowed.” : After he'd caught an octopus or two, the photogpher insisted he. and Margo eat ’em. Properly pooked, they were, Albert reports, not too bad. “Then the guy insists on draping an octopus over pne of the girl's bare shoulders,” he went on. A silly way to get your picture in the papers? Maybe, Albert admits, But it's more fun than being bank clerk, “If you wanted a sensible life,” he argues, “you ouldn’t be a performer in the first place. It may et wacky at times.

home.

There was one hitch. If he took the training program Mr. Moses would have to give up Mike. There is a trend to discourage the use of Seeing-Eye dogs. “I wouldn't part with Mike for the world. If I couldn't keep Mike and take the training I didn’t want it.” Saturday is going to be a happy day for the two. They're flying home to Washington, D. C. It’s their 14th trip. Mike has made every trip and still “shakes a little at takeoff.” “Once we're in the air though, Mike becomes a very good passenger.” Mr. Moses turned on the drill press, moved the box of parts into position and began his day and Mike's. Big brown eyes flashed from the floor. Everything was hunkydory.

You Have Until Jan. 15 to File

(First of a Series)

By 8. BURTON HEATH WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.— Between now and midnight of Jan, 15 every man, woman and child who is required to file an income tax estimate for 1946 must make sure that he | (or she) has satisfied - the law’s requirements. You are required to file an estiate:

The 11 articles starting today are concerned exclusively with personal income taxes for the lower and medium income groups. They have nothing to do with the returns of business and professional establishments, No one article is complete. They are inter-related.

For 1040 returns, using Tax Table or Standard Deduction —all except the fourth, ninth and tenth articles. For 1040 returns, computing tax—a]l except the fourth article, Because of the large number of taxpayers who use these articles, The Times cannot review or advise on individual returns, nor repeat answers to questions covered in the articles.

He used to be one of those fly-boys himself—with a Mexican circus. “I've only turned down one stunt so far,” he grinned. “That was to judge a bathing beauty contest. And I want no part of that. A guy can get hurt in those things.” ' But the payoff—we think—is that Albert actually pedals to the studio every day on his bicycle. And his press agent can't plant that story anyplace. “Nobody believes it,” Albert said. “And it happens to be the only thing so far that's really on the level.”
