Variations in Wool
Quality Studied

In an effort to ascertain why the
wool on the shoulder Of a sheep
is not as good as that on the hind
quarter. skin is being transplanted
from the fore quarter to the rear
quarter of sheep at the Branch of
the College of Agriculture of the
University of California. The work
is being done by j. F. Wilson, as
sociate professor of animal hus-
bandry on the Davis campus, with
the technical surgical assistance of
DR.. j. H. Woolsey of the Woodland
Clinic, formerly of the Universitys
Medical school. sisss,
Professor Wilson has studied the
difference between the wool on the
fore and hind quarters of sheep for
years. Recently he determined to
transplant skin from one quarter
to the other, hoping to find wheth-
er the difference is hereditary or
is due to nutritional differences
caused by difference of location on
the sleeps body. So, by inter-
changing skin patches, he expects
to add to the knowledge he has
gained on the question.
DR.. Woolsey was asked for as
sistance, which he readily gave. The
experiment was started some days,
ago, and has now been completed,
apparently with success and by the
aid of anaesthetics, without dis
comfort to the sheep.
If the shoulder wool does no bet
ter on the rear quarter, and that
from the thigh continues to do
well on the shoulder, Professor Will
son plans to turn his attention to
breeding in an endeavor to select
animals that will bring up wool
quality on forequarters of sheep.

sion, and later in the day will
visit the proposed site at the

Rep. Rudolph Says
Birds and Fish
Must Be Saved

A proposal to make the Potomac
River basin an experimental
laboratory for national flood-con-
troll and river-pollution problems
was sounded as the keynote of the
Potomac Valley Joint Conference
on River Pollution by Representa-
tive Jennings Randolph CD of
West Virginia at meeting in the
United States Chamber of Com
merce Building today.
Approximately 100 State Off
cials, planning experts, engineers,
and industrial representatives at
tended the conference represent
ing Wst Virginia, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania, and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Declaring that "the American
people must either destroy pollu-
ton or pollution will destroy
them" Congressman Randolph
delivered his message to the con-
ferees and to the radio audience
asking for conversion of the Po-
tomac Basin into a national Ia
boratory to combat consequences
of flood ravages, industrial men
aces to clean water and pollution
dangers to bird, animal and fish
life.
Ideal Example
The Potomac, he said offers an
excellent opportunity for the pur-
pose. The local situation, espe-
cially in the basin below Washing
ton, presents a deplorable Situa-
ton, which, if made the object of
study, would aid other areas in
solving their problems. He said:
There are parts of the POtO-
mac Basin which actually smell
bad from want of adequate pol
luton systems. The Potomac,
which serves an area of $4,000
square miles and 100000 per-
sons, can well serve as ma
tiOnal demonstration laboratory.
We should set up system here
TO transcend State lines that
will insure needed cooperation
to combat this growing menace.
Washington, the seat of the ma
tiOnal government and a city
wherein 95,OOO,OOO gallons of
sewage flows into the Potomac
Basin daily, should certainly be
an ideal place to conduct
laboratory"
Sultan Adds Voice
Col. Dan I. Sultan, Engineering
Commissioner of the District, de-
clared that recent expenditures of
SIS 100000 for the purposes of
building adequate sewage systems
here reveals the. militant feeling
of the city'S population toward the
solution of the problem. He ad-

Among the speakers on the
morning program were Abel VOL
man, chairman of the Maryland
Planning Board, and Morton Wal
lesstein, head of the Virginia
Planning Board. Wolman said
the problem of pollution is Chal-
lenge to industry as well as to
State cooperation, as many of the
problems of water contamination
are direct results of industrial de-
velopment. He suggested appropri-
alton of IL million dollars to be
placed at the disposal of a board
to handle the program in the Po-
tomac basin.

Leaders Seeking Means To Obey
 President Plea
(By The Associated PreSs)

(By The Associated Press)
 WASHINGTON, D c April 28, Administrator authorities are seeking a means to carry out Pres ident Roosevelt's request to check stock market speculation, and will attempt to revise antitrust laws to check increasing prices.
 The reserve board is studying the speculation problem and has authority to increase the margin requirements to one hundred per cent instead of the present fifty five percent. Authorities said Roosevelt may appoint commit tee to examine the antitrust laws in the hope of tightening those regulations to check rising pric- es.
 President Roosevelt broadened his warning against government employees taking part in stock speculation, to include the pub lie at large.
 Asked at his press conference what prompted the letter to the civil service commission adviS- ing federal employees to refrain from speculative transactions as distinguished from bonafide in- vestments, the president said he had the country's general good in mind.

A gold quartz mining plant en- ploying at least 2,0O0 men was foreseen here today for the Good pastor district if the American Smelling and Refining Company puts in a mill and begins opera tions on a big scale.
 Jack McCord, noted Alaska min ing promoter, said this is entirely possible in the Goodpastor dis trict, as he stopped in Anchorage on his way to Fairbanks, accord ing to a recent issue of the An chorage Times.
 MT. McCord was instrumental in turning over the ground in the Goodpastor area to the American Smelling and Refining Company, and in getting the latter concern interested in the area. He said the company has about l7 men working two shifts on tunnel, and that the firm has expended probably $l5O,0O0 since taking the ground over.
