According to the medical report on this horrifying experiment, the host-dog soon became accustomed to the puppy that had suddenly from the side of its neck.

When the big dog got thirsty, the puppy did, too. When the big dog got warm, so did the puppy.

Bill Seeks State Highway Dept. Reorganization PHOENIX OB-- A bill to reorganize the Arizona Highway Commission and enlarge'itto'stv- en members was introduced in the Senate today as the 22nd legislature opened its second week. The bill introduced by Sen. Robert Morrow (D-Mohave) followed a similar pattern to a measure that failed to attain passage in the 21st Legislature's second session.

The bill was one of eight tossed in the Senate hopper this morning. Two bills were introduced in the House, as well as a House Joint Memorial and a House Joint Resolution. The Morrow bill on the Highway Commission would set up seven districts in the state which would be represented by one member each on the commission. The breakdown in counties for distribution of membership would be as follows: First District, Cochise and Santa Cruz Counties; Second-District, Pima and Pinal; Third District, Maricopa and Gila; Fourth District, Apache and Navajo; Fifth District, Coconino and Yavapai; Sixth District, Graham and Greenlee; Seventh District, Yuma and Mohave. The reorganization of the Highway Commissiin is a measure proposed in conjunction with other reorganization steps for a Highway Department operation recommended by the Legislative Highway Study Committee.

Since organization of the Legislature is virtually completed, hearings will be started by the Appropriations Committee of the Senate and House on requested budgets by state departments and agencies.

Hope for Tax Relief Next Year Indicated WASHINGTON (UP)-- President Eisenhower sent Congress today a $62,408,000,000 spending based on preparedness and prosperity. He banned tax reduction now, but gave hope of tax relief next year, a presidential election year. He sounded a solemn alert that peace remains anxiously insecure. To prepare against "a long period of uncertainty," he allotted to major national security in the new 1956 fiscal year two-thirds of all (overnmenl spending $40,458, 000,000.

The accent was on air power and atomic weapons. The Air Force got almost as much as Ihe Army and Navy combined. The President's total new spend- ng budget was down more than a 1 billion dollars from this year's and estimated revenue was up a billion, )ut he still couldn't balance the budget. He looked for a deficit of 2,408,000,000. Points Emphasized The President, however, empha- ized these points on the positive ide: 1.

Included in Ihe President's fiscal 1956 budget which was laid before Congress today was a request for 53.908,000 for the two irrigation projects in Yum a county. For the Gila Project, he asks an appropriation of $3,500,000 for construction of drains, canals and laterals to provide for the irrigation of an additional 19,700 acres of land. Finish On Schedule If these approprialions can be pushed through Congress, it means that the Wellton-Mohawk division of the Gila Project will be virtually completed in 1957 as originally scheduled. This would mark the passage of exactly ten years from the date the Wellton-Mohawk was authorized by Congress.
