TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1975 THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR PAGE 11 'SllMNK' FOK DANE? It's Back Home Again In Indiana For C-5 5 X3 7 So We want to save you TOP money I WITH OF CALIFORNIA. Washington (UPI) In 1971, Representative Andy Jacobs' dog "C-5" was removed from the Indiana Democrat's office because it bit Representative James Symington Yesterday, Jacobs held a "welcome home" party for the dog and it promptly bit Symington again. As Jacobs wrapped a bandage around a bleeding finger on Symington's right hand, Symington suggested that, maybe the huge Great Dane should "see a shrink." UNTIL SYMINGTON walked into th3 crowded party in Jacobs' office, "C-5" had been quite calm and friendly- But when Symington arrived and attempted to feed the dog a piece of cheese, C-5 lunged at him with a loud bark, drawing blood from his hand, then lunging at his chest before being pulled off. Symington was good-natured about the incident. "Maybe the cheese wasn't good," he told the embarrassed Jacobs.

The saga of C-5 (named for the giant Lockheed military transport) began in 1971 when Symington was running down a hallway in a hurry to catch a plane. AS HE PASSED Jacobs' office, C-5, who lived in the office, gave chase. When Symington stretched out his hand to the dog in friendship, C-5 left eight puncture marks in his hand. At that point, Jacobs returned C-5 to Indiana. Jacobs, who was re-elected this year after a two-year absence from Congress, held a party for the dog yesterday.

He said he never intended to have C-5 live in his office again, and "if I ever had any intentions I would abandon them after this." A Jacobs aide said C-5 would be returned to Indiana.
