Lured Into Car The huge animal wandered into the Severin last night and it took Sgt. Charles Crouch and Patrolmen James McAuley and Gene Risk, and the hotel's night personnel to get him out. The policemen managed it by luring the huge animal into their squad car. They took him to police headquarters and the fun began. Since accommodations at the jail are limited, they shoved “Tiny” into a room adjoining the record room and closed the door, pending disposition of the dog by the board of safety.

Witnesses said if it hadn't been for a low ceiling, Mr. Whitley would have broken the Marion county high-jump record. They transferred the dog into a closet where Patrolman Burl Dillehay, the information man at headquarters, usually hangs his coat when he goes on duty. Patrolman Dillehay arrived bright and chipper this morning, took off his coat and opened the door. They say he smashed the state backjump record when “Tiny” reared up in joyous greeting. This morning, “Tiny” relaxed in the property room, occasionally thumping his tail on the floor. He is really a very friendly dog, they say, and his collar license number is 32-2374.

Springer Opens {Cool Capehart’ Drive Tonight
For Dinner Session By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Yo. Times Staff Writer . WASHINGTON, June 4.—Chair~ man Clark Springer and his staff from the Indiana Republican state committee will open their “cool off Capehart campaign” at a closed session dinner at the Statler hotel here tonight, They are flying from Indianapolis for the event and will return tos morrow, Meanwhile, Senator Homer E. Capehart, who has been battling the G. O. P. organization of Gove ernor Ralph Gates, says the whole trip here is just a “good-will mission.” Statements will be forthcoming from all that everything is now in compelte harmony within the Hoosier G. ©.

But) the reason he has been making so much noise in politics is because he wants to keep his senate seat in 1950. The Gates organization pulled

perity than signature by the President of the tax bill,” Senator Capehart said.
Not to sign it would be both bad politics and bad economics, he contended. “Reports have been current that the President will veto this tax relief bill,” the Capehart statement continued. most flagrant example of political hypocrisy in modern history. “When the nation faced a $50 billion deficit in 1945, the administration ignored the growing in-| debtedness to favor a political tax cut for the election year of 1946 which cost the government $6 billion, ‘Hope It Isn't True’ “Now the same administration, with a budget that will definitely be balanced, plus an $8 billion surplus, is threatening to keep tax relief from the people and demanding that savings be applied to the great debt that was built up by the party now in control of the executive branch of the government. “One ‘of the reasons for predictions of a slump in business are the reports that Mr. Truman will veto the pending revenue measure, I sincerely hope these reports are not true.”
Braden Resigns State Department
