Maryland Apology
For Dope Rulings
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 8.-Th'
continuing fight between horseme1
and the Maryland Racing Commits

mansion today with an open lettel
from two prominent stable owners
to Gov. Herbert R. O'Conor terminl

full and outrageous"
The letter, signed by William L
Brann of Glade Valley Farm, Fred.

Hacketts Point Farm, Annapolis
demanded "an apology from soms
responsible official of the State" ane

at is your duty to terminate tht
disgraceful and outrageous manner
in which the affairs of the Mary.

conducted"
Brand Biological Test.
Trainers for both horsemen were
suspended by the racing commission
a year ago on charges that horses
trained by them were stimulated
The letter asserted that Brann's
trainer, Edward A. Christmas. anc

suffered under the false charges
and reckless accusations of youl

The horsemen, terming "unreli.
able" the biological test using white
mice, on which five different trainers
were suspended in q few days, car
ried the case to the Maryland Court
Of Appeals.
The court ruled invalid the COM
mission rule making trainers abso-
lutely responsible for their horses.
Christmas and Sutphin subse-
quently were reinstated and the
purses of the winning horses in
volved returned to Brann and
Labrot.
Avoid Political Football.
"The truth is, the 20-page letter
continued, that the commission
had no more evidence against our
trainers than against us, and the
commissions rather grandiose man.

convictions, without evidence suf-
ficient to sustain findings either way
Is but another illustration Of the
ignorant, irresponsible. reckless and
illegal manner in which the affairs
of this agency of the State are being

There was no immediate comment
from Gov. O'Conor or Commission
Chairman George p. Mahoney, an
O'Conor appointee.
The horsemen said they had with

A Good Hospital Bill

this legislature than pork barrel bills. We
would point out that Mr.. Sillers has been a
leader in the economically conservative
legislative fights in the past, and that this
hospital bill is not a spending bill, but a bar
gain bill 1t is the greatest economic invest
ment that this state can make. Low levels
of public health constitute the most expen-
sive and most miserable luxury" we enjoy.
It is a luxury we cannot afford
The state needs first and foremost four
fully-equipped regional hospitals, two in the
northern section of the state, and two in the
southern. This is the program advocated by
the Mississippi Farm Bureau and by Mr..
Sillers-and by this newspaper. We need, in
fact, considerably more than four hospitals,
but that will do for a beginning. These
regional establishments can be fitted out
with the latest X-ray, .electro-cardiagraph
and other equipment which doctors need in
modern practice. The fact that such facilities
do not exist now in most Mississippi counties
is the chief reason we can not get enough
doctors to practice in the rural areas.
After the state builds the regional hos
pitfalls. we need. then to put a smaller hos
pital in every county In the state. where
public health work can be conducted. out
patient clinics operated. simple medicine
p~raticed and simple surgical cases per-
formed. This at last would put a hospital
in reach of the average people in MISSISSIPPI
pi. Cases with complications requiring
more complex treatment could be sent on
to the better-e equipped regional hospitals.
This is the sort of program the state needs
far worse than it needs a four-year medical
school in Jackson right nova school that
would benefit so few at the cost of so many,
by diverting hospital funds to a project which
is not nearly so badly needed as the regional
institutions.
We hope MIR. Sillers presses this program
with his usual ability and vigor. And we hope
the legislature can see the simple logic of
the matter, which is borne out by the tragic
statistics of our public health record.

Support For The Red Cross

The Red Cross is presently conducting
a Embarrassing campaign throughout the ma
ton. The organization needs 500, 00G, 900 for
its widespread work during the coming year.
Our local quota is $23, 900, and we should do
our best not only to meet it but to exceed it.
Many of us frequently yield to the cynical
streak in human nature and are inclined to
be critical of what we term organized
charities" and sometimes are Indifferent to
their welfare. But the Red Cross is deserv-
ing better of this, and considering its mag
nificent record, it merits the support and
loyalty of every family in the United States.
The families Of literally millions of
soldiers received some measure of aid and
comforts during the war from this organi-
cation. and men all over the world were
given physical and spiritual support by its
t~ireless workers. The Red Cross was the
soldiers friend. when he was in difficulties.
and he could always feel that back home
this influential and kindly friend was ever
willing to deliver his messages. to straight
en- out problems. to help his people when
they needed help.
The need of our country and our armed
forces for this assistance has not diminished
with the end of the war. Far from it. All over
our nation are military hospitals filled with
wounded and sick men who made the great
est sacrifice of war. They need this friend
now, as never before.
1t is up to the rest of us, who were not
called on for such a sacrifice. to make will
ingly a small sacrifice of our own, and to ex-
press the nations gratitude, by contributing
generously so that the Red Cross may have
sufficient funds to do its work.

That Lost Roundup"

A woman who lives in the Belair section
called last week to tell about the trouble
roaming cattle are causing in her and her
neighbors. Nothing is safe in the yards, she
said; lawns are trampled, and flower beds
pulled up. at is so bad that l cannot even
keep anything on the porch; the cows actual
~ come on the porch sometimes and turn
over things looking for food"
1t is rather amusing perhaps to think of
cows walking up on peoples porches. But it
is not funny to the person to whom it hap
pens. And all over the outlying sections of
the city, especially by Eastlawn and the
beach, and back toward the railroad tracks,
roaming cattle are causing a great deal of
trouble and damage.
There are laws against this, and no man
has the right to violate other peoples peace
by letting his cattle roam and Craze in set
tied neighborhoods. However, requests and
appeals will probably have little effect on
these cattle owners. The only approach that
will be effective is to make such violations
expensive. The city police force should get
together a force of four or five men, and
some good dogs, and stage an old fashioned
roundup. The cattle should be impounded,
and the fines made costly enough so that the
negligent e~attle-owners will begin to look for
ways to keep their stock from trampling over
other peoples premises.
We suggest to the police force to see if they
cannot work out some way to round up. these
strays.
