By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND. Va. Aug. 2.-The
Federal Court in Baltimore was
ordered here today to assess dam
ages against the United States for
the death-by typhus-of a ten
ant in a Baltimore defense hous-
ing project operated by the Fed
eral Public Housing Authority.
In an opinion reversing the trial

Circuit ruled today that the ten
ant. Evered w. Anderson. had died
January %, 1947, from the bite
of a flea in a rat-infested dwell
ing which the Housing Authority
should have cleaned up.
The Appeals Court opinion.
written by Circuit Judge Morris
A. Soper of Baltimore, declared:
THE evidence establishes con-
clusively that the field supervisor
of the Public Housing Authority,
who inspected the premises
monthly, was notified on Novem-
ber l. 1916, when Anderson's life
might still have been saved by
prompt action, not merely of the
danger of rat infestation in gen.
eral, but also of the presence of
endemic typhus on the premises,
and Of the particular role which
rats play in spreading the dis
ease"
The suit was brought by the
State of Maryland on behalf of
Mr.. Anderson's widow against the

House Cuts $17,5OO Annuity
For $7.43 to $1,95Ou Year

The House has taken action to
prevent a former Government en-
ploye who contributed $7.43 to the
Civil Service retirement fund from
collecting a possible $150,O0O in
annuities.
1t passed and sent to the Senate
yesterday bill under which the
former Federal referee in bank
ruptcy cases would receive more
modest $3.50 a year.
Meanwhile Chairman Johnston
Of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee introduced a bill which
would require a minimum of five
years Federal service for civil
service pension eligibility. The
Johnston bill provides that per-
sons who cannot meet these re-
quirements would not be eligible
for annuity benefits.
The former Federal referee be-
came eligible for annual annuities
of $17,500 as a result of drawing
huge fees in handling Govern
ment bankruptcy cases. On July
/, 1947, bankruptcy referees were
taken off the fee basis and given
$4,000 yearly salaries. However,
they were permitted to compute
past earnings for retirement pur-
poses if they remained on the
Federal payroll.
Oscar w. Ehrhorn of New York
City told reporters that he was

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
The subject of the Lesson-Sermon
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, November 27, will be:
"ANCIENT AND MODERN MEG
ROMANCY, ALIAS MESMERISM
AND HYPNOTISM,
DENOUNCED
The Golden Text is:
"The, eyes of the Lord run to and
fro throughout the whole earth,
to shew himself strong in the be-
hall. OF them whose heart is per-
Yet toward him" (II Chron.
16': 81.
Among the citations which COM
prise the Lesson-Sermon, the fol-
lowing are from the Bible:
There was certain man, called
Simon, which beforetime in the
same city used sorcery, and be-
wltched the people of Samarla,
giving out that himself was some
great one. But when they
believed Philip preaching the
things concerning the kingdom OF
God, and the name of Jesus
Christ, they were baptized, both
men and women. Then Simon
himself believed also" (Acts 8:
9, IL, 13).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, "Scl-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
"To put down the claim Of sin.
you must detect it,. remove the
mask, point out the illusion, and
thus get the victory over sin and
so prove it's unreality. Re
sisting evil, you overcome it and
prove it's nothingness. Not hui
man platitudes, but divine beati-
tudes, reflect the spiritual light
and might which heal the sick
IL. Willing the sick to recover
is not the metaphysical practice
Of Christian Science, but is sheer
animal magnetism. Truth
and not corporeal will, is the di-
vine power which says to disease,
Peace, be STILL" Opp. 447, 446
144).
