“Cutie Pie” . . .
LOUISVILLE, Ky. UP — Cutie
Pie is a ham and 220 pounds of
many moods.
Sometimes she sits in her house
and chews on an old shoe, some
times she boxes with a dog. Some
times, for a handout, she’ll jump
up on her house and do the twist.
“I think she’s kind of like a
person. You treat her right and
she treats you right,” said Mrs.
Leona Britt in describing her 14
month-old Canadian black bear.
The twist? Mrs. Britt said the
bear probably learned that from
her 19-year-old grandson.
Cutie Pie once had the run of
the Britt household. Then she be
gan upsetting furniture. Three
months ago she tore down a screen
door. Her home is now her back
yard house to which she is chained.
Mrs. Britt learned last year she
could satisfy a childhood desire
and obtain a bear through a pet
shop for $115.
On Easter 1962 she got an 8
week-old cub, Cutie Pie.
“She was tame from the begin
ning. I used to walk her on a
chain. One time she even got into
a car with two policemen,” said
Mrs. Britt.
Cutie Pie is particular about her
food: She wants nothing raw. Her
favorites: Cooked chicken and
beef.
“I still take her for an occa
sional walk for exercise around
the block,” said Mrs. Britt. “She
draws a crowd, like a circus,
wherever we go.”

Soviet Agents
Ordered to Kill
Russ Spy Defector
LONDON CPI — Soviet agents j
are searching Britain with orders !
to kill or kidnap master spy Ano
toli Dolnytsin, who defected to
the West 18 months ago, British
newspapers said Saturday.
The Daily Express said an at
tempt already may have been made
on the defector’s life.
Dolyntsin brought with him So
viet military secrets and details of
spy networks and undercover
agents working for the Soviet
Union. He is understood to have
provided Britain counter-intelli
gence agents with a list of people
in Britain who may be — or could
be — Soviet agents.
Dolyntsin is in hiding, under
guard, being groomed for a new
identity. It is considered vital that |
he should be unrecognizable to ;
the Soviet agents who for months
to come are sure to press an in
tensive manhunt.
Dolyntsin’s defection is be
lieved to have dealt a severe blow
to Soviet intelligence services. The
Soviets will want him eliminated
—for revenge and as a warning to
others, informants noted.
Plastic surgery may be used to
give Dolyntsin a new face—as it
did for many British secret agents
during World War II. Then he
would be unrecognizable even to
those who knew him during the
eight months or so he lived in
London while on a tour of duty
here.
It generally is believed that
Dolyntsin defected while serving
in a Soviet satellite country after
first contacting the U.S. embassy
in an allied country. One report
said he defected in a town in
North America.
For about a year, Dolyntsin was
quizzed by the Central Intelligence
Agency in the United States. After
he requested asylum in Britain,
he was flown here and interro
gated.
Dolyntsin is credited with pro
viding information that led to the t
exposure of William John Vassel, |
the homosexual spy in the British i
admiralty.
He is reported to have given
counter-intelligence agents infor
mation that pointed to Harold
Philby as the man who tipped off :
turncoat British diplomats Guy
Burgess and Donald MacLean that
they were a pout to be arrested.
Burgess and MacLean fled to So
viet Russia.
In January, Philby disappeared.
He is believed to be behind the
Iron Curtain.
