DAILY ftieORB WIDNBSOAY, JUNE 24, 1953 Taft Is Hard Worker In Spite Of Ailments By VY1MONII LAIIR WASHINGTON (UP) Senate Leader Robert A. Taft slowed down by a painful hip ailment but he still puts til What most lawmakers would regard a normal work day. he used to dash around the Capital with his coallails lly- ilig, he now makes his way slowly AVith the help of erulclfes to keep Ms weight off the ailing left hip. Taft has long been credited by both friend and foe with exceptional industry and far above average abijUty as a legislative craftsman. at the age of 63, he is forced to cut down the activity he normally assumed until his refurn from a Cincinnati hospital three fteeks ago.

At the urging of Tiis logicians, he named William Knbwland (R-Calif.) as his dep- ffly to handle the party floor lead- firship, which requires almost Stant attendance when the Senate is in session. The Ohio senator's health has the subject of much Senate culation and discussion in recent He somewhat wan and has lost weight. But in conversation, he talks as as he always did and displays his same avid interest in the whole broad field of congressional activity. His schedule is shortened two or fiiree times a week when he goes Walter Reed Army Hospital here for the X-ray and cortisone treat- jxifljts which have been prescribed still unnamed hip ailment Although obviously pained by the he sometimes neglects or for- gets to use his crutches Avhcn moving around the Senate. Freed of the hour to hour chores of the floor leadership, Taft still receives a full schedule of callers and attends committee sessions and leadership meetings about as before his illness.

He is playing an active' role in current moves fp bring GUI' congressional leaders and administration spokesmen into agreement on legislation to amend the Taft-Hartley Act. Taft has spent much less time on the Senate floor, however, and has taken no part in debate. Democrats in the closely divided Senate have twice given the GOP majority a thumping in the past week in voles primarily involving procedural issues. These setbacks have led some, senators to wonder whether things would have been different with Taft at the tiller. Sweater Plant Site Selected WEAVERVILLE (UP) Thu Cashmere Corp.

Fannie O. Mood oC Arlington, Va. Mrs. Mood, who works for the Cat Kaneiers Association, has been registering cats from all over the country for nine years. Hardly a day goes by but that she runs into a ticklish situation.

It seems that no two blooded cats dare 'run around wearing the same name-registration-wise. "Five or six times a week I get names like Tabby, Whitey, and Blacky from several people at the same time," she said. "I don't have to make a search to tell the folks that those are common names. Then what do I have on my hands? A good, old cat figlit among people." That, she added, goes for diplo- mats, senators, a'nd Supreme Court justices, who wish to register their felines. Mrs.

Mood ran into a rather odd one just the other day. She got the suggested name of "May I.ing" from two Chinese owners of cats. "I had to explain that that wouldn't do," she said. "It had to be 'May Ling' for one or the other. That started something and during the fight that followed was glad that I didn't understand Chinese." The cat registrar had one recently, though, on which there was no challenge and needed no look in 1 up.

The owner had picked the name of "Sir Screecham ten. Another one (rouble was a "Slinky." i I a Siamese kil- which was Hide Siamese called Mrs. Mood must keep of all of ttte bloodied registrations, cataloging the breeding. "Thar makes it pretty rough on Mr. tyood," she confessed.

"The poor fellow doesn't even have room for his slippers. My cat files fill two rooms in my house. I have 8,000 registrations' a year, all filed by name and breed. In all these years that has added up to quite a stack of paper." The brown-haired Mrs. Mood had something to say about alley cats.

"I don't like that term," she said. "We call them 'domestic short hairs' and we register (hem, too. But let me tell you that the owners of the 'short hairs' can get jusl as riled over (heir pets as (he wile of a senator.

An assembly statement said "suit for such damages as is sustained by the assembly due to the lake being closed to swimming" had been authorized.
