Medical Schools Given
Right 10 Stray Dogs
Al Baltimore Pound
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE. Dec. 1e.-The
Baltimore City Council voted to-
day to allow medical schools and
hospitals to obtain stray dogs,
collected under a city contract
for medical research.
The 15-to-5 vote in a past
midnight session climaxed a
heated controversy which was
launched about two months ago
when doctors and health officials
in this noted medical center asked
the city for the right to use in
research stray, unwanted dogs
that otherwise would be put to
death by the Society for Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals.
The S. P. c. A., which has an
exclusive contract with the city
for the collection of strays, was
opposed to delivering any dogs
to the medical schools of Johns
Hopkins University and the Uni
versity OF Maryland. The society
was joined in its stand by several
anti-vivisectionist groups.
GA bill to permit the District
to turn over lost dogs, headed
for the gas chamber at the
pound. to hospitals and labora-
tories was shelved by special
subcommittee of the Senate
District Committee last sum-
mer0
May Set Up New Group.
Shortly before the council ap-
proved the new ordinance. Paul
Berman. an attorney for the
S. P. c. A., announced that the
organization will not bid on any
contract that permits" medical
and surgical research. The pres
ent contract expires January /.
In answer to this, Arthur w
Machen, also an attorney, told the
council that if the s. P. c. A. re-
fuses to collect strays then a new
society should be organized for
the purpose. He announced that
he had in his possession a charter
prepared "for that very purpose. u
The council-approved legislation
states that when medical schools,
schools of dentistry. pharmacy. hy-
giene and public health or hospi-
tails apply in writing to the CON-
missioner of health for permission
to use unclaimed, impounded
dogs, which would otherwise be
killed under the provisions of this
ordinance, for the good Of man
kind and scientific investigation
and teaching - the commits
sioner of health shall approve such
request
Same Time Limit Set.
!, The ordinance provides that
dogs used In operations must "be
rendered incapable Of feeling
pain"
Owners are given So hours in
which to reclaim their stray ami
mails. The old ordinance set up
the same time limit, at the end
of which the dogs were destroyed
in the s. P. c. AS gas chamber.
During the course of public de-
baA on the issue, Hopkins doc
tors disclosed that they had had
to resort to getting dogs for re-
search from out-of-State dealers.
These dealers often ran afoul Of
s. p. G. A. officials and were jailed
or fined on charges Of treating
the dogs inh,Imanelv-
