The dog was the -victim of a truck which never slowed its pace as it ran the pup down with its hind wheels. "Trouble" never knew what hit her. Football player Bill Wardle and his wife, owners of the young animal, knew they were at fault for letting "Trouble" run loose. And witnesses said the truck driver could not be blamed the dog scampered out suddenly from between two parked cars in front of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority house. But the Wardles couldn't un derstand why he raan neither stopped to investigate nor slowed driver if he knew he had hit down as he ended the life of their dog in Chapel Hill. pet. - A Duke student from Connecti cut named Bill Williams, two cars behind the death vehicle, put on his brakes as he saw the dog's body crumpled in the street. When he realized that several people standing on the sidewalk were going to the animal's as sistance, he stepped on the ac celerator and headed out the Durham highway after the truck. Williams caught up with the vehicle as it puiled into a narrow driveway just beyond JackV Drive-in near Durham. He noted down the license plate, North Carolina 903-924, and asked the Yes, the man knew he .hit the dog, but he couldn't avoid the accident, Williams quoted him as saying. Then, Williams reported, the man changed his mind and denied thai he knew he struck the animal. A short time later, armed with Williams' information, Wardle, student Perry HudnelL Walter Carroll of The Durham Morning Herald, and I went out the Dur ham highway to find the owner of the truck. The time was about 7:30 and daylight was disappear ing rapidly. We stopped at the house be (See 'TROUBLE,' page 4) George said, is the legislative log-jam piling up in the Senate. Pushing aside President Tru man's recommendations, the House committee today approved new tax cuts this time about $10,000,0t)0 for coal and metallur gical limestone producers. This action came right behind yesterday's flat committee re jection of the President's pro posal for $200,000,000 additional taxes on oil, gas, sulphur and non-metallic minerals operators. Meanwhile, Lreorge, wno is chairman of the tax -framing Sen ate Finance Committee, said Congress must remain in session until the end of August if it is to complete action on tax legis lation. Most legislators want to get out of town much sooner than that, to campaign for Novemb ber's election. George pointed out that the tax bill still is before the House Ways and Means Committee and that before it gets to the White House, the House must debate and approve it, the Senate Fi nance Committee must hold de tailed hearings, the Senate act. and then the two houses must agree on a compromise version of the bills they pass. Emphasizing the log-jam of legislation in the Senate, George pointed out that it includes the $29,000,000,000 one package ap propriation bill. Bill Albans, the versatile star from Npw Jersey, led the Tar Heels by setting a new Confer ence record in the 220-yard low hurdles, tieing the Conference record in the 120-yard high hur dles and setting a new Fetzer Field record in the broad jump. Albans ran the low hurdles in 23.2 seconds to break the old rec ord of 23.5 set by Kinzle of Duke in 1938. His time in the low hur dles was 14.3 tieing the mark set by Bill Corpening of Carolina in 1940. He broad jumped 24 feet, 10 inches to set the new Fetzer Field record, almost nine inches off the conference record of 25 feet, six inches set by Wally Hamm of Georgia Tech in 1928. The track was very fast and the weather perfect without a sign of , a breeze, conditions which may produce some of the best performances in Southern track history. Six Carolinians took first place in their qualifying round which puts the Tar Heels into good po sition to break their own record of most points scored in th Con ference meet and makes them al most a sure thing to win the meet for the fourth straight year. Bob Kirk, defending champ in the javelin, again leads the field, having tossed the spear 198 feet, seven inches. Three other Tar Heels also qualified giving Car olina a great advantage in this event. They are: Skeets Baldwin, Bob Payne, and Bernie Harris. Another Tar Heel defending champ, Hal Holden in the 880, turned in the top time for his spe cialty, being clocked in 1:56.5, two-tenths of a second better than his winning time of last year. Maryland, represented by Jim Umbarger and Tyson Cream er, and Duke with Henry Bullock and Art Loub, each sent two men into the finals. One of the top fields of the day was produced in the 440, which saw all three heats won in less than 50 seconds. Gene Brigham of Carolina won his heat in 49.7, Wilbur Harrison of VMI took first with the time of 49.4, and Charlie Chambers of N. C. State won in the time of 49.3. Last year the winning time in the finals was 50.1. Buddy Grisso of Duke, Lad die Terrell of Carolina, and Tyler Wadsworth of State round out the field which should produce one of the most exciting races of the meet today. The hurdles ought to be two of the high-scoring events for the 'Tar Heels, who have three men in the fields of six for both the low and highs. Albans, Bob Morrow, and Garrett Fitzgibbons will compete in the high hurdles, while Albans, Morrow and Merl Norcross run in the low hurdles. Maryland and Duke will be well represented in these events. the Terps qualifying Mario Sal- vanelli and Karl Rubach. while Duke has Tommy Reeves in both (See TRACK, page 3) Art Exhibit The Art Department an nounced yesterday ihat for one month, from May 24 uniU June 24, an exhibit of children' art will be on display in ihe Person Hall Gallery.
