In every gathering where politics are discussed one hears loud wails to ^e effect that President Truman has put a spike in his twlitkal coffin because he had the guts to take drastic action in an emergency. It is a sorry commentary on the principles of the Ameri can people that„.our president idiould have to face political condemnation l^ause he had the courage to act as he did. His action in seeking to get action of a drastic nature that ^ould be for the best interests of all of the people is a (Simulating inspiration. More stimulating because he tossed political expediency to the four winds. He wanted no com promise any program that would undermine the foundations of American democracy.

However he tdok to his new handler, who had sent his dog home with Tony’s former master. Tony proceed ed to carry on with his usual eager ness and obedience. Early in December the command to which Tony was attached received word that the Joh was done and to get re^y to move homeward. At this time the unit had only 20 men left. There were 20 dogs listed and four of them had a contagions disease not found In the United States, so they had to be destroyed before the unit set sail.
