It Was Wild Dog Not Half Hyena
A fox hunter shot a creature near here Monday and R K Kula a Cleveland Museum naturalist noted a mane like a hyena. Pathologists at Cleveland City Hospital found it was simply a wild dog not a relic of an extinct hybrid type. The Spaniards reached the Yucatan in 1517 and found domesticated turkeys among the Indians.

Eisenhower still open to return before convention Lodge says
Sen. Lodge of Massachusetts said the door remains open for Gen. Eisenhower to return to civilian life before the Republican nominating convention. He cautioned the general’s remarks did not foreclose a possible return and predicted the campaign might echo the Wendell Willkie 1940 effort. Taft outlined a broad campaign schedule across states from January through March while pledging to oppose tax increases and seek government spending cuts. Senate Republicans chose Bridges of New Hampshire as GOP floor leader to replace Wherry.
