MASTER KILLED, DOG IS FASTING FOREST GROVE, Dec. 12. (AP)---Spike is dying, and no one seems to be able to do anything about it. Spike is an English bulldog, mascot of a United States army air force observation squadron stationed at Fort Lewis, and, until his master was killed in an accident, "the best flyer in the outfit." When his master, Private Bill Morley, 20, an aerial photographer, failed to return from a routine flight Spike quit eating.

That was more than two months ago. His friends in the squadron tempted him with choice handouts from the kitchen, but Spike continued his forlorn and heart-breaking search for Bill, spurning all food. Major O. J. Mossman, asked to keep the dog after Bill's funeral, tried forced feeding.

When his weight had dropped from 70 pounds to 40, his jowls saghis body emaciated, Spike was brought here by Bill's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Morley. He still refuses to eat, and lately hasn't seemed to care whether he wore his official mascot uniform, a cloth jacket with the squadron's insignia on it, and a set of aviator's earphones. For several weeks after Bill's death Spike spent the time he was not roving in search of his master sprawled on the barracks floor.

As each flyer came in the door the dog would rise, peer at him, then sink back on his haunches. Lately he won't even get up. Spike made the news early in his career. When Bill left for Camp Lewis he refused for dags to eat. Mr.

and Mrs. Morley took him 10 Camp Lewis to be with Bill. He immediately resumed eating. TREASURY BONDS OVERSUBSCRIBED WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.
