HOOF-AND-MOUTH
GERM RESEARCH
TO Be WITHHELD
By NEA Serrtce

By NEA Serutce
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Despite
the threatening aspect of the foo.
and-mouth disease in this country.
Secretary Wallace OF the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has deemed it
best TO withhold research work on
this cOntagion.
The eason is hat the foot-and-
mouth disease spread is so fast and
50 dangerously that the germ cannot
be separated long enough, with
safety, TO make Experimentation
possible.
In a recent letter explaining his
viewpoint to the Los Angeles County
Medical Association of California,
Wallace writes:
Our reasons for not permitting
such experiments are:
First. only a cursory study Of
the disease could be made in in
fe6ted areas under our system Of
prompt slaughter and burial Of at.
fected and exposed animals. unless
the virus We're propagated and Kept
on hand for an extended period after
the disease would otherwise have
been stamped out.
