Controls Put On
' •
Most Construction
W A S H I N GTON, iff) — Two
building controls aimed at com
bating inflation and saving mate
rials for defense became effective
last week.
One requires federal licensing
for new commercial construction.
The other requires a 50 per cent
cash down payment on a vast
range of non-residential construc
tion.
The licensing system replaces a
general ban that has been in ef
fect. A credit tightening order
applies to stores, offices, hotels,
banks, warehouses, garages, serv
ice stations, restaurants, theaters,
clubs and “other new structures
used for non-residential pur
poses.”
The order was issued last week
by the federal reserve board.

U. S.-Canada To
Jointly Defend
Top Of World
OTTAWA, (JP) — The top of
North America will -be defended
by an international fighter force
of Canadian and U. S. planes un
der a control system that will
function as though a border did
not exist, Canadian defense plan
ners indicated Saturday.
The air defense system, which
will include an integrated radar
network, is part of a five billion
dollar three-year program an
nounced in Parliament last week
J by Defense Minister Brooke Clax
j ton.
Air Marshal W. A. Curtiss said
Friday night that Canada would
fulfill her commitments under the
North Atlantic Treaty by sending
a 7,000-man contingent of the
■ Royal Canadian Air Force to
Western Europe under Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s command.
A three-squadron wing will be
created this year as the first in
stallment.
Present plans call for a closer
integration of Canadian and
American air training. Both coun

men from Atlantic Pact nations.
The aim is to have a unified sys
I tern of training, so that they can

Thieves Steal
Two Anchorage
Prowl Cars
A
ANCHORAGE, </P) — The red
face-department has some new
members—Anchorage policemen.
Early Friday a prowler car was
left in front of the station while
patrolmen booked several drunks
they had rounded up. When the
officers came out the car was
gone.
They got a replacement from
the garage. Two* hours later while
they were booking more drunks
the second car was left outside
the station door.
Yup, you’re right—it disappear
ed too.
They were not gone for long,
however. One was found in a
snowbank a short distance away.
The other had been run over an
ambankment behind a local bar.
The embarrassed coppers had a
partial excuse, though. Police de
partment orders require all squad
cars to be left parked during cold j
weather with motors running.

Dog Hero Rescues
His Pal—A Cat
GLEN ALLEN, Alaska, (£>)—A
brown mongrel dog named “Don”
was living in new quarters yester
day and Alaska Hoad Commission
employees were keeping his plate
heaped with his favorite food.
That was his reward for dash
ing into a burning building and
rescuing his friend and bed mate
“Kathy,” a cat.
But the cat would not even take
time to say “thanks.”
The dog performed the heroic
act when a fire destroyed an ARC
garage that housed the bed the
cat dog shared. The fire occurred
several days ago.
Some 20 volunteer firemen wit
nessed the dog’s heroic feat. Frank
Hobbs, road commission mechan
ic, said:
“We noticed the dog acting
strangely near the garage door.
Suddenly he dashed into the
flaming building and vanished.
“A few seconds later he came
back with the cat in his mouth."
Henry Colvik, another road
commission employee, was leav
ing the building with salvaged
material when he saw the dog on
the rescue mission.
“That dog didn’t waste a sec
ond," Colvik said. “He skidded up
to the bed, grabbed the cat in his
mouth and dashed outside."
The dog carried the cat well
clear of the burning building be
fore letting her go. The terrified
feline dashed into nearby brush
and did not appear back at the
camp for two days.
