WASHINGTON (AP) — Demo- cratic Senator Hubert Humphrey . of Minnesota said Tuesday U.S. insistence on a package disarma- ment, agreement is “doomed to defeat and ridicule.” He said the United States should break up its proposals and negotiate first for a two-year ban on nuclear weap- ons tests.

Humphrey, chairman -of the Senate disarmament subcommit- tee, said no power, least of all Russia, would be willing to ac- cept the U.S. disarmament pack- age “all at one time.”

And he questioned, in a speech to the Senate, whether the United States itself would agree to its package “if the Soviet Union were to surprise us by accepting the proposal.”

ASKED ASSURANCES

President Eisenhower has said a ban on nuclear tests would be ineffective without assurances that an agreement also would be reached on halting the production of nuclear weapons.

However, Humphrey said he has ,told Eisenhower there is “no military reason" for insisting on a combination of the two points.

The senator said he had dis- cussed this with Harold Stassen, E-isenl1ower’s disarmament ad- vrser, and came away convinced that the proposal to negotiate the points separately is sound.

Stassen is reported to have ar-

Police Dogs Can Keep Order

By JOHN LUNDQUIST

BALTIMORE (AP) — Nothing strikes the fear of the law into punks, Baltimore's police depart- ment is convinced, like a ‘dog triggered to snarl, pursue, leap and bite.‘

The department found, for ex- ample, that two policemen ac- companied by dogs could keep order in a throng of rock ’n’ roll devotees after a show or a dance where» formerly eight officers were required. _~

The department's K-9 corps- 2l carefully trained German shepherds — has taken over in some of the city’s worst trouble spots for the last year. CRIME DROPS

1957, it showed a drop of 6.5 per cent from the previous year. Hep- bron said that the deterrent ef- fect of the K-3 corps had a lot to do with the improvement.

It showed up particularly well in categories where a patrolling dog puts a scare into would-be law breakers, like purse snatch- ers and automobile thieces. Purse snatchings were down from 286 to 192 and auto thefts from 6,182 to 4,836.

The police department prob- ably gets more for its money in eager animals than in any other phase of its operations. The dogs —a1l pedigreed—have been do-

Each officer who has a dog as- ; signed to him keeps it at home‘ when off duty. ~

WORTHWHILE BUDGET

The first year’s budget for the dog corps was $13.570—$8.170 for its director’s salary and $5,500 for dog food and medical care. The sheps are trained in the celaring of a wooden area, When the dog has learned to obey com- mands, he jumps hurdles, scales a 71/2 - foot wall, .grabs at a “thugs” wrist protected by a padded sleeve, and sniffs out a “fugitive” in the woods. The dogs also learn to climb ladders and track down a man in a building. The K‘-9s have proved they’re worth their weight in dog biscuits on scores of occasions. Officers use them mainly in an area .of about six square miles in the Rowhouse district fringing the downtown section. It’s full of

dark alleys and board fences where a fugitive with a head start could lose a patrolman with- out trouble.

RARELY ESCAPE

But they rarely get away from the K-9 corps. .

The dogs have climbed ladders to get into buildings and track down a burglar in a fraction of the time it would take one or two officers.

Sometimes they start the inves- tigation on their own. Patrolling a beat near Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, officer Calvln Fillings saw nothing amiss as he passed a parked truck, but his dog stopped arid snarled at thevehicle.

Fillings took a closerlook, saw a head duck -below the dash- board. A 16-year-old surrendered, confessing'he had been trying to hot-wire the truck and steal it.
