WASHINGTON UPI — A massive armed search was to resume at dawn today for the last of three Great Danes that killed a 5-year-old girl and mauled her playmate in savage attacks near here Wednesday. Lata Wednesday night, a 300member search party rounded up two of the dogs near where the attacks had occurred at about noon in suburban Prince Georges County, Md.

/minimum Wage Pay Confirmed INDIANAPOLIS DPI—Acting mental health commissioner Dr. Robert Gambill confirmed Wednesday that all mental health employes receiving less than 3305 monthly wages will be advanced to that minimum, retroactive to July L Gambill said there are 2,115 such employes. The new commissioner said Governor Branigin called him and offered to “do me the courtesy” of letting the mental health superintendents be the first to know of the pay hike. Branigin, true to his word, declined to comment when asked about the pay hike this morning, saying “the announcement is not going to come out of my office. See Dr. Gambill.” Gambill said he did not know from what fund the extra money would come. Branigin earlier had said that an opinion by Atty. Gen. Jack Dillon held that the 5305 minimum mentioned in a comment Inserted in the 1965 budget bill did not constitute a legal appropriation. The old minimum pay for mental health employes was f275 monthly.

Police identified the children as Sharon K. Sparks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sparks, and James Barney, 6, son of Army Sgt. and Mrs. Hugh Barney, both of Parkland, Md. The Barney child remained hospitalized in poor condition today, but officials said he would recover. Police said the animals escaped from a kennel in the area Tuesday night and their owner looked for them, without success, the rest of the night. Sharon went out to play about mid-morning, but did not return for lunch. Alarmed, Mrs. Sparks and Mrs. Barney, who lives next door, went looking for the girl. Moments later Mrs. Sparks, glimpsing the dogs running through nearby woods, returned home to phone her husband. Mrs. Barney, accompanied by James and her three other youngsters, continued the search and approached a gravel pit where she found Sharon’s body. The dogs suddenly returned, and she fled with her children as they charged. Sparks arrived to find the dogs tearing at James. He drove them off with pistol shots and carried his dead child home. Police said the dogs weighed about 100 pounds each, and “if they were saddled, you could sit them.” I The two animals captured were taken to an animal shelter for observation.

Steel Companies Await Reaction PITTSBURGH UPI — Three steel companies which ventured out on a limb with a $3 per ton hike in the price of steel sheets watched today to see if President Johnson would saw it off. Joseph Block, chairman of Inland Steel Co. which led the way in increasing prices, admitted that if the rest of the industry does not go along, Inland would rescind the hikes. Armco Steel Co. and Jones & Laughlin joined Inland Wednesday by announcing price hikes of their own. But U. S. Steel Corp. and Bethlehem, the nation’s No. 1 and No. 2 producers respectively, remained quiet U. S. Steel spokesmen admitted the firm received a telegram from Gardner Ackley, chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. While U. S. Steel would not divulge contents of the telegram, it was believed to have asked the company to hold off on any price increases at least until the council studied the situation. An industry’ - wide increase would net about $85 million annually. Inland, J&L, and Armco also announced a $2 increase on second grade sheets, items not up to normal standards. These constitute only between 2 and 5 per cent of sheet production. Armco said the price hikes were needed to offset a decreased profit margin caused by increasing labor costs and claimed they were so modest they cannot be considered “consequentiaL”

Teenager's View By Janet Staub With the Greencastle Summer Recreational Program coming to the close of another successful season the young people who took part in the numerous activities are left on their own for finding something to do until school starts. Much of the remaining month of August will be spent in preparing for school. But what spare time there is will be left

to the youth.

Games will appear, some involving players to run and some i for players to sit around and play. Some of the running games of today are just renamed ones of a few years ago.! Batman is much like Cops and Robbers or Cowboys and In-1 dians. Moons and Stars is just another name for Hop Scotch. Bicycles and roller skates will; probably be given more work- j
