AMSTERDAM — Bingo, the dog without a country, found a new home in Holland today after weeks of unwanted travel on the high seas.
The mongrel, ousted from his native Australia because a customs officer was a stickler for rules, was taken under the protective wing of the W. J. Mekenkamp family of Imuiden, Holland.
The Mekenkamps had heard news reports of Bingo's travels aboard the Dutch liner Johan Van Oldenbarnevelt and were at the docks to greet the ship when it pulled into Amsterdam from Sydney this morning.

WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Federal Trade Commission has accused Safeway Stores, Inc., a major supermarket chain, of falsely advertising its "Slender-Way" bread.
The commission said Safeway's radio, television and newspaper advertisements picture "Slender-Way" bread as a low-calorie food with fewer calories than ordinary bread

NEW DELHI, India — The Red Chinese showed no sign of acting today on diplomatic reports that they might release American prisoners now in their custody as an act of amnesty to mark the 10th anniversary of the Peiping regime and east U.S.-Communist relations.

LONDON — The United States is consulting its Atlantic Pact allies about a possible reduction in restricctions on strategic trade with the Communist world, it was reported today.
Authoritative sources said private talks are underway as a preliminary to a meeting in Paris later this month at which pact members will review current restrictions on war-potential sails to the Reds.
The United States, under pressure from European nations eager to cut themselves in on billion-dollar deals offered by the Kremlin, agreed last year to the removal of 63 items from the proscribed list.
FUERTEVENTURA ISLAND, Canary Islands — Foul weather threatened today to obscure tomorrow's total eclipse of the sun and ruin long-laid plans to scientists to view the solar event.
This morning, less than 24 hours before the eclipse is scheduled to take place, clouds covered the northern islands of this Atlantic Archipelago. They are hanging at 9,000 feet and prevailing winds might shove them over this particular island at the time of the eclipse at 5.45 a.m. (Lawrence time) tomorrow. Forecasts say it is likely there will be high winds, showers and clouds in this area at that time.

Don't Miss
Will the White Sox or the Dodgers win the World Series? KU students gave the following opinions:
Richard Wurtz, Mound City junior —"The Chicago White Sox will win because Early Wynn is pitching for them. He'll win at least two games for the White Sox just through good oitching."
Students Pick Chisox To Win World Series
Polly Smith, Madison, Wis., senior—"The Series will go about five games, with Chicago winning in the end. Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio will help a lot with their fast double-play combinations."
John P. Feighner, Wellsville graduate student — "The Dodgers will beat Chicago through better hitting and through pitching that is just as good as what the White Sox have."
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
DeAnna Hensley, Mission senior—"The Chicago team has the speed and teamwork, especially on double plays. They're all fired up over winning the American League pennant, and enthusiasm will be a tremendous help to them."
