Halt Mexican Imports

Veterinarians were scheduled to
check every Mexican animal import
ed into the U. S. since reopening of
the border October II for the dread
ed hoof and mouth disease following
reports that the malady had broken
out in three Mexican states.
At the same time, Republican con-
gressmen revealed their intention to
probe President Truman's reopening
of the border last fall in the effort
to provide additional livestock to re-
lieve the acute meat famine then
prevailing. 1t was charged that
Mexico never has eradicated the dis
ease because of lax supervision Of
imports from other South American
countries afflicted with the sickness.
OF seven outbreaks of the hoef and
mouth disease in the U. S. since
1870, the last two occurred in 1924.
Highly communicable, hoof and
mouth disease bIsters the feet and
mouth of cattle. affecting their abil-
jty to move freely and eat normally.
