City to employ dogcatcher after many complaints
City officials moved to hire a part time dogcatcher to curb loose dogs in summer. Alderman Elmer urged action, but the police and safety committee were tasked with hiring after debate. The ordinance requires dogs tied April 1 to Nov 4, and officials considered licensing drivers after past troubles. A sound track for a Lions Club circus was approved, and other measures included park road changes, zoning survey input, and a Memorial Day cemetery fund.

Kohler Denies Draft Sole Cause for Farm Labor Shortages
Kohler argues against blaming the draft for Wisconsin farm labor shortages. He notes selective service plays a role but only about one in four farm leavers cite the draft. Wisconsin has deferred about 10,000 men for agricultural reasons, with farm youth facing more deferments than urban youths. He says draft calls will require farm-oriented youths while Congress maintains selective service.

General Hoyt S. Vandenberg told senators that within two years the Soviet Union will possess the means to launch a long range atomic attack on the United States. He warned that without opposition this could cripple U S retaliation and key industrial centers. He opposed House defense cuts, noting a 4 6 billion cap and a 14 1/2 billion cut in new funds, which would delay about 3 000 aircraft deliveries into 1954.
