London Residents Careless,
Rubbish Heaps Increasing

London has a problem.
Rubbish heaps are on the in
crease within the city limits,
creating an unsightly condition as
we'll as a health hazard.
Vernon Royce, Sanitarian OF
the London City Madison County
Health Department warned today
that the health department is
prepared to take legal action 10
compel removal Of rubbish heaps
from the city in the event pro-
pcrty owners are reluctant TO
take voluntary action.
$50 far property owners have
been very cooperative" Royce
said in explaining that in most
instances the only action neces-
sary was to give courteous notice
TO property owners that the rub
bish should he removed from the
city.
Royce reminded that London
has an ordinance providing a $25
fine for failure to remove rubbish
from city premises on conviction
for a first offense and S25 and
up to $1O0 fine and 80 days Jail
sentence for the second offense.
A survey of the city. according
to Sanitarian Royce, has revealed
that in most cases persons allow
ing rubbish to collect on their
property arc those who are non
subscribers to the city's regular
collection of garbage and refuse.
Property owners having rub
bish piles on their premises
should either contract to have the
rubbish hauled to the city dump
or arrange with the London Sani-
tary Department for its removal,
Royce advised.

POW Exchange
Is Considered

MUNSAN, KOREA, MARCH 21
(AP)-C truce negotia-

The Reds submitted formal

tary repatriation, the only import
ant issue blocking agreement.

On the surface, he said. it does
nothing to break the deadlock ovei

right to choose whether they are

However, other Observers inter-
pretcd what the Communist pro-
posal did not say as significant.
They said the Reds may want to
compromise, but are not ready to
say how.
The Reds suggested that nego-
tiations proceed on the basis OF
prisoner rosters exchanged Dec. 49,
Under the Communist plan the u
n. command would return 132, ,472
and the Communists 1859.
Neither side suggested secret
talks to speed agreement. The u.
N. command indicated Thursday ii
would agree to off-the-record ne
gotiations if the Reds wanted to
abandon daily progress reports.

be worked out Saturday.
A compromise on prisoner ex-
change could pave the way 10

Aside from tho issue of voluntary

Communist nomination of Soviet
Russia to neutral inspection COM
mission and an allied demand for
a ban on military airfield con-

The Communist prisoner ex-
change proposal would mean aban-

ing, of demands for an accounting
of missing war prisoners.

First In State

DR.. Harry G.. Geyer, chief state
Veterinarian, today reported the

Ohio cattle.
At the same time he said the
livestock-killing disease has killed
100 animals on II farms in 26
counties. All but two OF the ami
mails arc hogs.
lie listeu the last four counties
in which anthrax has beer found
as Madison, Seneca, Henry, and
Hancock.
DR.. Geyer said the cattle were
beef cattle. One died in Clermont
county, the other in Madison
county, he said.
The Madison county case
was said to be Ohio's first
case of anthrax in cattle. IL
was understood to be near
Plain City. The owner Of the
herd was not identified. No
cases of the disease having sf-
fIcted hogs were reported in
that area.
Meanwhile, he said federal meat
inspectors have found anthrax in
three hogs in slaughtcrhouses. lie
listed one place as the Armour
plant in Columbus ard the other
as the Kahn plant in Cincinnati.
Geyer said a hog suspected of hav-
ing anthrax was found in sec
ond Cincinnati plant.
The hog-handling sections of the
plants were shut down and dccon-
taminated, Geyer said They now
arc back in operation.
Tests OF feed picked up in 26
Ohio reduction plants and scores
of feed plants still arc under way.

results have come out, he said
Testing is being done in five lab
oTatorieS.

mcnded public health control
measures against anthrax in a let
ter to all county and city health
commissioners.

health is not a serious one, and is
amcnablc to control" Then he list
ed these immediate problems
1-Protection Of farmers
and their families against in
fection from animals.
2-Protection of employees
of rendering plants and feed
mills against infection.
3-Safety of the milk sup
ply.
He called for a united effort 10
guard against infection and said

fled of locations Of infected farms.
One recommendation was that
health commissioners tell dairy
farmers not to sell milk for pas
tcurization. cheese manufacture. ar
cream or butter IF the dairy herd
is infected or if the cattle arc in
close contact with other infected
livestock"
On some farms, cattle and hogs

MIDWAY, Ala, P - You'll look long time before finding another hoosegow like the Mid way jail.
 It's on wheels, sits in Negro woman's front yard and puts its occupants up for public inspec- ton.
 Midway folks find it satisfac- tory, though. Very few of them ever get locked up.
 The jail, which resembles an animal cage more than it does a lookup, is a discarded convic+ wagon. Since any passerby can see who's in it, the inmates usual ly are subject to quite a bit of ridicule from persons on the out side.
 No claims have been madc about the jail being even remotely escape proof. Not so lon sc eight persons got thrown in it to set something of a tenancy rec ord. Seven promptly ripped ou the floor and escaped. The ' was too fat. He go. su& : couldn't get out.
