Police dogs working in Kenya, mainly tracking Mau Mau terrorists for the past · three years, have done so well that the Tanganyika and Uganda police forces are to start dog sections soon.
The Kenya police dog section is made up of about 30 Alsatians, 30 Doberman Pinchers (a famous German hunting dog, black and tan, with a stumpy tail) and a few cross-breds. It is to be increased to more than 100 dogs, according to Assistant Superintendent W. C. H. (Bill) Warner, in charge of the section, who comes from Whitehead, Co. Antrim, Ireland.

West Berlin Glider Pilots Go East

Most of West Berlin's 1,200 amateur "glider. pilots, barred by the Western Allies from using training fields in their home city, havé bégun to practise their sport in East Germany with the help of a Communist para-military training organisation.
The West Berlin Aero Club has conducted negotiations with the East German Society for Sports and Technical Training on the Society's offer for the use of its airfield at Schoenhagen, about 20 miles south of Berlin, Dr Hoye Straatmann, president of the club, has announced.
They are treated hospitably, allowed to fly as long as they like, and receive pocket money in Eastern currenty buy re
Verbal agreement had been reached on various detalls but no written statement accepting The offer in full had yet been signed, although West Berliners freshuments in the airfield can- have used the Society's facili- tles uno letally for some time,

Allied authorities had so far left the appeal unanswered.
NOT WELCOMED
Both these airflelds were used as terminals for the Allied air- lift during the Soviet blockade of 1948-49 for supplying West Berliners with vital food and raw materials. They have since been almost abandoned.
