By the Associated Press

The Government moved today
to stamp out a widespread epi-

relatively new hog disease.
Details of the eradication pro-

but officials said it would entail
destroying afflicted hogs and COM

from public funds.
President Truman disclosed yes

ture Brannan had proclaimed @
state of emergency.
His statement at Kansas City
said the action will permit the
Agriculture Department to take
aggressive measures.
Agriculture Department officials
said details of the program prob
ably will be announced next week.
In the past, in slaughter pro-
grams, the pattern generally has
been for Federal and State gov

in compenSating farmers.
The last such major program
was in 1929 when an outbreak of
foot-and-mouth disease occurred
in California.
All of California and parts of
Is other States have been placed
under quarantine.
The disease usually has ap-
peared in marketing and slaugh-
tering centers. Except for farms
