Rush for Dog MuzzIes
Reported by D. c. Stores

Following an order by the Com
missioners Saturday that all dogs in
the District must be muzzled, local
stores are reporting heavy sales OF
muzzles but believe the supply is
adequate to meet the demand.
Some pet stores have sold several
hundred muzzles each during the
last two days. One said it was like
a run on the bank"
I'VE are all out of the popular
Sizes" one dealer said, "and if it
hadn't been for our summer stock
coming in six or eight weeks late,
We would have been caught"
Another store reported having a
large supply of wire and leather
muzzles. The manager explained
That his next seasons stock had been
received recently.
Representatives at the pet and
leather goods stores stated that the
most satisfactory way to fit dogs
with muzzles is to bring the pet to
the store.
The order to muzzle dogs Is to be
in effect for three months. The
Commissioners warned that any dog
at large without muzzle, whether
licensed or unlicensed, will be taken
by the poundmaSter.

Rabies Control Here Ineffective

Can Be Curbed by Uniform Regulations

DR.. Beachley said approximately
half Of the county is now under
quarantine and the county is visited
daily by dog catcher whose duty
1t is to pick up strays.
The quarantine by sections, he
said, entailed considerable work on
the part Of the inspection staff, who
must visit each home in the re-
stricted areas and instruct residents
as to the purpose of the quarantine.
A modern dog pound has been
constructed in the county. DR..
Beachley said, and since June 46l
dogs have been picked up and all
but II. which were redeemed by
owners, have been destroyed.
Advising immunization of dogs by
vaccine, DR.. Beachley said that these
shots were 80 per cent effective.
Frank c. Hanrahan. county man.
ager, said he felt everything possible
was being done to control the rabies
situation. He pointed out that while
10 dogs examined in the local labo-
ratory since October l had been
found to be rabid, no persons had
been bitten by them He asked that
citizens cooperate by keeping dogs

pS inc ASsOClatPh PTeSS.
BALTIMORE. Oct 27.-The as
sertion of Federal Judge William C
Coleman that he was shocked" al
testimony presented in damage suits
against a Maryland State Guard
corporal, has precipitated two sep
arate investigations.
The MARYLAND State Guard and
the commissioner OF motor vehicles
disclosed they were conducting in
quiries into points suggested By
Judge Coleman These were:
The guardsman, Allen William
Clark, had continued in the organ
ization after a manslaughter con-
viction and after he had operated
on automobile without license.
Fined "OnIy $3.50"
The commissioner of motor We
hicles had issued learners permit
to Clark after he had been involved
in a fatal accident while driving
without a license.
The Cecil County Court had fined
Clark only $3.50" on the man
slaughter charge.
The vehicle commissioners in
vestlgatlon was to determine
whether Clark's original application
showed he had been convicted of
manslaughter, or if the permit had
been accidentally issued.
The State Guard investigation
was instigated because of public in
terest in the case, Brig. Gen. Dwight
H. Mohr, State Guard commander
said, adding "as soon as they can
show us where this boy has been
convicted of anything worthy of
action by us we are ready to pro-
ceed."
Says No Records Are Available.
Gen. Mohr said Clark was never
tried on motor vehicle law viola
tionS. He isn't required to drive a
motor vehicle in his role as a
State Guard. They haven't proven
anything against the boy. No re-
cords are available since the hearing
was before a justice of the peace
and therefore is no court of record u
Deputy Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles D. Marshall Shredder said
a learners permit had been issued
to Clark August 18. but he had
never appeared for his examination
The application was not in posses
sion of road crew somewhere on
the Eastern Shore" examining ap-
plicants for drivers licenses, he
added.

Declaring that the rabies epidemic
has reached embarrassing" proper
tions in the Metropolitan Area, Dr.
H. w Schoening, director of the
Agriculture Departments patho-
logical division of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, said today that
proper rabies control methods would
put this country ahead Of, instead
of behind. the disease Present
control legislation is ineffective and
antiquated, he said.
He added that rabies is a CON
trollable" disease and could be
stamped out if uniform control
methods were adopted
We have the know how" he said.
"and it would only be a matter of
time until rabies was thing of the
past if we could get legislation pro-
viding the money and personnel"
Europe. he added, is far ahead Of
this country in rabies control.
Three Steps in Control.
The procedure for rabies control is
in three steps, DR.. Schoening ex-
planned. First, strict licensing laws
must be passed and enforced. All
stray dogs must be picked up and,
finally. when a case of rabies is re-
ported, all other dogs that had con-
tact with the rabid animal must be
either destroyed or placed in rigid
quarantine.
If strict licensing laws were
passed and enforced. DR.. Schoening
said. it would lessen the number
of dog owners not able to care for
their pets.
The matter of picking up strays
is one of equipment and personnel
he said. Adequate facilities to han
die and care for stray dogs must
be provided, and the personnel
must be available to work at the
job every day and not just when
there is rabies epidemic" DR..
Schoening said
BY having these two safeguards
at work. DR.. Schoening said, it is
comparatively easy to trace the
movements of a dog which may
become rabid. All facilities are then
available to control animals known
to have had contact with the rabid
animal
Points to Existing Laws.
DR.. Schoening pointed out that
under existing laws the Bureau of
Animal Industry cannot function in
the various States to help curb
rabies. He said that while the bu-
reau had charge Of livestock regu-
latiors, dogs are not considered as
livestock under present laws.
Asserting that modern legislation
for the control Of the disease is
needed, DR.. Schoening pointed to
the District "muzzling" law, which
he described as "antiquated" and
ineffective" in stopping the disease
THE newspapers can do a real
service to dog lovers and their pets
alike by bringing attention to the
need for better dog laws" DR.
Schoening said. THE shoot on
sight law in Prince Georges Coun-
ty is an example of what happens
when the proper facilities are lack.
ing. I doubt if that is the best way
to handle the stray dog problem
but it happened to be the means
available to county officials"
Arlington Control Defended.
Meanwhile. DR.. Ralph Beachley
Arlington County health officer
said that control of rabies by i'm.
mediate examination of infected
dogs and by strict spot quarantines
have proven efficient In the county

Wartime Note
New Liberators
To Fly in Europe

LONDON, Aug. 25-(UP)-The
new Consolidated Liberator, expect
ed to make its appearance soon in
the European theater, will add hun
dreds of tons of explosives to the
daily potential to be delivered to
Germany and will give the U. S.
Air Force bomber with defensive
fire power as deadly as any in ex-
istence.
Naturally, no announcement is
expected concerning the arrival of
bomber reinforcements but stories
from the United States report the
B-24's in massive production.
The LiberatorS would be most
welcome in this theater because the
bulk of the old ones were shipped
to Africa to undertake the long
range bombing jobs at the Ploesti
oil fields in Rumania and at Vienna.
New armament on the four-en-
gined planes answers critics of the
earlier Liberatocs who complained
that blind spots MADE them highly
vulnerable.
