To Get Pound Dogs
For Medical Research

The Committee for Health and
Research in the District today
urged the Commissioners to sup
port legislation that would com
pei the District poundmaster to
turn over al unclaimed dogs to
hospitals and medical schools here
for vivisection research.
The committee, which is made
up of represent atives of Wash
ington hospitals medical schools,
the District Medical Society, the
Board of Education. the, Public
Health Service and the Health
Department, was headed by DR..
Charles F. Morgan of Georgetown
Medical School.
The doctors said their bill
would repeal the discretionary
powers of Poundmaster Frank B.
Marks.
Marks Fights Vivisection.
Mr.. Marks, who has the sole
power under an old law of deter
mining the fate of unclaimed ami
mails, has steadfastly refused to
turn over animals to doctors for
research purposes.
He told the Commissioners to-
day he is a determined foe of WV
isection and added II always will
be-"
The Rev. Paul J. Mentally. dean
of Georgetown Medical School
described the present law as nom
sense" and declared no one man
should have total power to elimi-
nate 5000 dogs year at his own
discretion.
DR.. Morgan declared the prog
resS and happiness of mankind
depend on animals in research.
He urged the Commissioners to
approve the vivisection bill to per-
NIT Washington to join other
American cities in the fight
against polio, cancer and heart
disease.
DR.. Frederick c. Fishback of the
medical society, cited the famous
Blalock blue baby operations
which were made possible only by
experimentation on living dogs.
Don't Want Pets.
Surgery as it is done today
was learned on dogs" DR.. Fish
back told the Commissioners. I'VE
don't want any ones pet, but it's
a complete waste to destroy ami
mails at the District pound when
they could be used painlessly and
without cruelty to teach medical
students their profession
The doctors cited District fig
ures which disclosed that 1898
dogs were destroyed. 1.105 were
sold and 800 were redeemed in the
year ending June 80. 1913. They
said District medical institutions
use only about 900 dogs a year
for vivisection at a cost OF Sc

Sary to keep abreast of research
and training requirements.

lation on behalf of the Health
Department. said he felt animals
are for the use of man. He said
the bill is a reasonable one. par

DR.. Norman H. Topping, asSo-
ciate director of the National In
stitute of Health. told the Com
missioners Washington soon will
become the medical center of the
whole world.
The Commissioners referred a
copy of the bill to Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Chester H. Gray
for study. The doctors said it has
not been decided which member OF
Congress win introduce 1t for

Local Residents
Should Work For
Cuban Tourists

Suggestion that Cuban-Ameri-
can residents of Key West to form
an organization to support the
Key West Chamber of Commerce
in its efforts TO increase Cuban
trade was made last night at a
meeting in Delmonico's Restau-
rant.
The occasion was a cocktail
hour that was put on there for
Justo Mendez, a Havana radio
commentator, who said that if
more people in Havana knew
about Key West they would sure
ly stop off in Key West.
THE people of Cuba feel that
Key West is closer to the hearts
of Cubans than any other spot on
continental United States, said
Mendez.
Arturo Boza then suggested
that the Cuban American resi-
dents of Key West should do ev-
erything in their power to in
crease tourist travel from Cuba
TO this city.
Il suggest a sort of Latin-Am-
erican Chamber of Commerce to
work with the Key West Cham
Der of Commerce., said Boza.
Acting Mayor Louis Carbonell
greeted Mendez.

Governor OF
Hawaii Given
Power In Strike
(By 1'ae Associates Pressl

HONOLULU, Aug. 6-The Ha-
waiian legislature, in an all
night session, passed a law en-
towering the governor to try to
stop the 98-day old strike of the
longshoremen in Hawaii.
The governor said that he will
put 1000 longshoremen to work
to load and unload ships here and
elsewhere in the islands. He said
that already men are loading
ships with canned pineapples,
consigned to San Francisco for
distribution in the United States.
Harry Bridges, head of the
union, who arrived here yester-
day directed the men on strike
not to go to work, regardless of
the governors order. The COVER
nor said he expected to employ a
sufficient number of non-union
workers to load and unload the
ships.

Atomic Partnership
Speculation Revived
BY the Assosiotsd PTsss


Britain's decision to halt work
on a large new atomic pile revived
speculation today over the pos
sible rebirth OF the British-Ameri-
can Canadian partnership In
atomic energy developments which
existed during the war.
That would mean the rartici-
patton Of British scientists In
American atomic research, in
cluding weapons. It also would
mean the sharing Of atomic Sc
crets by both countries to a degree
unknown in recent years.
Some diplomatic authorities be-
lieve recommendations along that
line may be taken up with Con-
gress early next year. President
Truman promised members of the
Senate House Atomic Energy
Committee that no new agree
ments would be made with the
British and Canadian govern
ments in this field without prior
consultation with Congress.
Representatives of the three
governments have been holding
exploratory talks at the State De-
partment of and on since late
September.
A new stage in these talks now
appears to have been reached and
some informed diplomats said
yesterday that the three govern
ments were nearing a general un-
derstanding on what needs to be
done to smooth out current difn-
culties.
