Nothing like this demonstration of

In l945 they turned up in the New York
State legislature with petitions signed by
more than 100000 people, and two bills
they sponsored were killed only after
long and bitter fight. In Massachusetts,
similar bill lost by only one vote. Other such
bills have come before the legislatures of
Illinois, California, Wisconsin, Maryland and
Pennsylvania.
In Washington, D. c., Rep. Lemke of
North Dakota has urged Congress to prohibit
experiments on dogs in the District of
Columbia - hoping thus he says, to set an
example for all states.
Vivisection is being fought most energetical-

DEcAUsE 6,35O,OOO New Workers hustled
ID into hospitals, clinics and police stations
to be vaccinated, the danger of smallpox
epidemic was averted last spring.
To most Americans this was gratifying
spectacle. One small group. however who call
themselves anti-vivisectionists, took a dim
view of it. They oppose the use of vaccines
and serums on the grounds that they are de-
veloped through cruel experiments on animals.
These people want to outlaw all expert
mentation on living animals If they have
their way, we will be deprived of some of our
best weapons against disease, and almost
every medical research project in the country
will be retarded or stopped altogether.
Incredibly enough, the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

It's powerful - and dangerous.

means cutting, or operating on. living ami
NAL For this reason, it does not properly
apply to more than five per cent of the ex-
periments performed on animals Usage, how
ever, has made it synonymous with animal
experimentation in general "a circumstance
which, because of the words grisly connota-
tons, plays into the hands of the ants and
embarrasses the pros.
Dogs Get the Publicity
MANY different species of animals are used
in this work. Rabbits, for instance, are
employed in standard pregnancy test.
Monkeys, guinea pigs rats and cats are all
widely used experimentally.
But although dogs are used much less
often than other animals, they get most OF
the publicity. There are two reasons for this:
anti-vivisectionists care most about dogs, and
dog experiments have produced the most
spectacular results. They are. by the way,
indispensable in some experiments because
of their size and because their physical struc-
ture so closely resembles that of human beings.
The animals are procured in various ways.

Jiro walked away from the voices.

The youthful voices stopped. A
busy hum of unmuffled whispers
pierced the silence. They were
watching him again. They were
talking about him.

could, felt his way unsteadily down

Gen. Kinney Says
 U. s. Will Be Hit From Polar Region I'm Next War
Many Casualties
(By Dewitt MacKerZie) (P) Foreign Affairs Analyst

General George C. Kenney, chief of the strategic air command at Andrews field, Md, tells us that in a future war our United States Would be the first target and would be reached by trans-polar assault which might result in a casualty list of 25,OOO,OO0 men, women and children in the first 24 hours"
 The general thus bluntly advis- ed the Women's Patriotic confer ence on defenseS yesterday in Washington. He asserted that, above all, the enemy would strive for a quick knockout, the attack coming over the shortest air routes from the European-ASiatic lanC mass across the north polar basin.
 Apropos of this, it's less thar four months ago that the Pacusor Dreamboat-the giant B-29 of the U. s. Army Air Forces flew non stop from Honolulu over the Arc tic to Cairo. General Carl Spaatz, ,AAF commander, stated at the Nme that this proved "the feasi- bility of flight across the polar wastes"
 Kenney said the attack would be made "by both piloted and pilot less aircraft, by radio-controllec missiles, by rockets-all loaded with atomic bombs, super-explo sives, super-incendiaries, basteria. weapons or whatever means O, mass destruction happens to be il vogue at the time" Just to make sure that he got his idea home, the general added that -four atomic sbombs of the old Hiroshima-Naga- saki type, properly placed, would knock New York out of comm;s- sion."
 That's strong mustard, and ob viously is so intended by General Kenney. He has deliberately em- phasiZed one of the gravest Ian Sers of the day-the development of another global conflict which would bring into play not only the
