100 Swine Stricken,
Disease Tests Begun
For Farm in Fairfax

The Agriculture Department
today ran tests to determine
whether hogs near Burke, Va, are
suffering from the contagious
swine disease, vascular exanthe-
ma.
One hundred hogs were stricken
on the Fairfax County farm of
Raymond Zell. only five miles
from where 4,600 hogs had to be
destroyed because of the disease
two months ago.
DR.. M. c. Robbins of Manassas,
and Federal and State veteri-
narians tentatively identified vesi-
cular exanthema among the Zell
hogs. but the animals will not be
ordered killed unless the Agricul-
ture Departments Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry confirms the dag
noSis.
Virginia State Veterinarian w
L. Bendix ordered the Zell farm
,quarantined at least temporarily
He said he had been told that Mr..
zell did not heed repeated Gov
|ernment warnings for farmers to
boil all garbage before feeding it
to hogs.
The disease is believed to have
been started in Fairfax County
by Shipment Of garbage-fed hogs
from New Jersey in July. Vesi-
cular exanthema was discovered
first at a Loudoun County slaugh-
terhouse. and two weeks later at
la State convict road camp In
Shenandoah County. The OUT
break two months ago was on
farms in Prince William County
and the Federal workhouse at
Lorton Fairfax County losses
total $185, 900.

Three High Schools
In Prince Georges
Win Accreditation

Three Prince Georges County
high schools have been accredited
by the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
They are the Laurel High
School. Frederick Sasscer High
School, in Upper Marlboro. and
the Oxon Hill High School.
County School Supt. William S.
Schmidt announced yesterday that
he had been notified of the ac-
creditation by Ira r. Kraybill, ex-
ecutive secretary of the associa-
tion's commission on, secondary
schools. .--..... RI
The three newly accredited
schools, Mr.. Schmidt said. were
inspected by association commit
tees last year. The superintend-
ent also announced that three
other county high schools are to
be inspected for accreditation
early next year. He said Bladens-
burg High School is to be inspected
February 24-26, Northwestern
High School on March 1919, and
Suitland Junior Senior High
School on April 27-29. The &C
crediting commission will not rule
on those three schools until next
fall.
The four other high schools in
the county will be visited by ac-
crediting committees during the
1953-54 school year, Mr.. Schmidt
said.
He said the generalization is like
a Good Housekeeping seal of ap-
proval." It means. he said, that
the Three high schools have been
found in compliance with certain
standards of faculty, curriculum
and facilities.
The superintendent said it costs
the county from $1,000 to $500
for each school accredited by the
association.
Mr.. Schmidt said the accredita-
ton does not mean-as many
people believe-that colleges which
require entrance examinations
automatically waive them for
graduates Of accredited high
schools. I

For the first time in office, Pres
ident Truman didn't get the first
piece of cake last night.
It went to Marine Pfc. Constante
j. Montone of Brooklyn. He re-
ceived the honor by drawing the
lucky number during the first an
Iniversary celebration of the USO-
Lafayette Square Club.
Mrs. Truman. who cut the cake,
originally was scheduled to appear
alone at the function in the old
Belasco Theater. But when she
appeared at 9 O'Clock, she was
accompanied by the President and
their daughter Margaret. The
First Family stayed for Is min
utes.
In a short impromptu speech,
President Truman told the several
hundred guests:
This is the first time I've ever
been to a function of this kind
and didn't get the first piece of
cake"
He probably could have had it,
though, because Pvt. Montone
earlier had commented: Il don't
eat cake"
Signs Guest Book.
Possibly acting on impulse, Mr..
Truman arrived at the Belasco
(almost diagonally across the
street from the White House,
without hat or coat, despite the
cold night air. He wore a dinner
jacket. His first act was to sign
the guest book.
In serious vein, the President
pointed out that the club serves
"a very useful purpose" He said
he hopes it will continue as long
as there remains a military emer-
gency.
Terming the club a wonderful
organization, Mr.. Truman told of
how happy his family was to con-
tribute to it's welfare. Mrs. Tru-
man, he explained, has been in
terested in such clubs since World
War II began.

In Alexandria, the wave of pro-

Alexandria of its just representa-

The rural legislators were slower
to show their wrath, but two in

strongly against plan which will
do away with two Senators seats
and five Delegate seats in rural
areas for the benefit of Northern

United Behind Boothe Plan.
In Alexandria, all groups were
united behind a plan proposed by
Delegate Armistead L. Boothe to
obtain two Delegates for Alexan-
dria and single Senator for the
city.
Under the joint committee plan,
Alexandria would keep it's sole
Delegate and share two Senators
with Arlington County.
City leaders-both civic and po-
litical-claimed Alexandria would
be outvoted by Arlington in an
at-large election and lose its voice
in the Legislature.
Delegate Loving said he would
try to amend the plan so Bath

The Private Papers Of Late
Senator Arthur Vandenberg

The essence OF the information
respecting the veto is that the late
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill entered into
secret arrangements at Quebec
and at Hyde Park, N. Y, in the
midyears of the war for the joint
development and control of atomic
energy.
These arrangements which were
privy to very few high govern
ment officials apparently did not
become known to Republican lead
ers in Congress, and perhaps to
Democrats as well, until some
time in the first part of 1947 when
Vandenberg, then chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, and
Sen. Hickenlooper Or. Iowa)
learned about them.
They learned that along with
providing for the sharing Of facts
on atomic development, the joint
sharing of uranium ore from the
Belgian Congo and the Joint pro-
motion of the atomic program,
agreement had been made that
neither the U. S. nor Britain would
use the A-bomb unless both agreed.
AT the time the information be-
came known to the Republicans
the United States was in fact al
ready going it alone in this field,
the partnership between America
and Britain, shared also by Can
ada, having practically broken up.
vandenberg and Hickenlooper
were therefore shocked to learn
that while Congress had been
working on the assumption that
the President had final decision
on the use of atomic weapons the
United States was technically
bound TO consult the British be-
fore making the decision.
The two Republicans brought
considerable pressure on the ad-
ministration TO change this, the
book shows, and in January, 1913,
the veto agreement was finally
ended In new understanding
among the three wartime partners
which had the effect OF placing
ultimate decision on using the A
bomb with the President.
Under the 1913 ARRANGEMENT.
Britain could obtain little informa-
ton about U. S. atomic projects
and undertook to develop its own
weapons.
In September, 1919. the Russians
pulled off their first atomic explo-
SIGN and Vandenherg and other In
tercsted congressional authorities
were told about ii in advance of
public announcement. Vandenberg
commented in his diary as to its
significance:
