Sino-Russian Dispute Fraser Meets Atomic Bomb Materials Sent

May Go Before The Little Assembly

Tsiang Supports Proposition

Lake Success, Dec. 6.-Nationalist China to- day agreed to the Latin-American suggestion to send the Chinese-Russian dispute to the United Nations "Little Assembly," but the United States immediately voiced opposition.

Dr Philip Jessup, American

Ambassador-at-largo

and Slate Department expert on the Far East, told the United Nations Main Politial Committee that the send- ing of China's charges against Russia to the Little Assembly for further study would not serve any real purpose in bringing a solution to the problem.

fact that between 20 and 30 owners during the past week have been summonsed in court for allowing their dogs to be abroad minus muzzles, and it is reasonable to assume that just as many; if not more, were gulity of a similar offence during the same perlod but remained undetected. One correspondent has advanced the drastic suggestion that all dogs seen loose in public should be immediately destroyed. The proposition is certain to produce a

· roar of anger from owners, yet, in the light of the deliborate flaunting of the often-enough repeated regulations, the Authorities might claim that they would bé fully justifled in this action. It cannot be too emphatically declared that rables can only be brought under-control by the Authorities with the most painstaking co-operation and assistance of the com- munity who possess domestic animals. It. is not uncommon to find that owners will take their pets out of the house on á lead and then release them in open spaces, apparently fully content that the animals can nolikter be a menaco to others, or themselves menaced, because they will so readily come to heel when called. This Is the sort of stupid behaviour which prevents effective combatting of rabies, for an animal off a leash can interfero with another dog under control and him self suffer infection from the contact.

These amahs make no effort to control the animals which are in their charge: so for ny they are concerned they are fulling the regulations by attaching the dogs tu lends thereafter have little or по interest in seeing whether their dogs are in a position to attack somebody or be attacked by other dogs. Wherever possible owners should exercise. their dogs and Bec that they are under complete control all, the time they, are in public. Another suggestion is: that no dog should be permitted to be out of doors on a lead longer than four feet. In Kowloon, where, incidentally, rabies is at present concentrated, dogs can be seen every day at the end of 10-foot long leads= and invariably they are large animals being taken for a walk by thoughtless' and unintelligent servants.
