GALLvGER TO START

Yesterday announced that he immedi-

Introduce in the Senate this week q reso-
luton calling upon the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service of the navy for
a national investigation Of the charges
developed In New York City.
Should the charges prove true, Senator
GaIIineer will introduce in the Senate a
bill providing a long penitentiary SEN
tence for any physician who experiments
with q human being.
aThese reports he said, "show that
the yivisectionists have violated their
own creed. They have always said the
only purpose was to save lives by ex-
periments with animals and hopelessly
sick persons. Now from reports 1t ap-
pears that they have inoculated healthy
children and destroyed their lives before
they were fairly begun.
The Senator made II plain that thus
far he had no first hand information con-
cerning the practicing Of vivisection on
children. A spirited fight for the passage
of anti-vivisection legislation in the
Senate will result. In the opinion of Scna-
tor Gallinger.
The New Hampshire Senator believes
the present revelations will result in con-
siderabiy wider agitation. and ultimately
a set of criminal laws will be adopted
specifically covering all forms of vivisec-
ton.
'If the Federal investigation should
verify the reports, then a Federal law
should be adopted Immediately. And
the option of paying a fine or going to
the penitentiary should not be left to
the court, where the fact is established
that physician deliberately practice
human vivisection. A long penitentiary
sentence is the only remedy"
DO you believe that human vivisec-
ton is practiced extensively" Senator
Gallinger was asked.
