The FTC ordered the firm to

FTC order. The court yesterday
upheld the FTC.
In upholding FTC, Judges

-. Ten cents is not a sum of
money or even small sum of

a substantial number of dollars. A

depositing a check and the debtor
pays the postage on his question

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 1900 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
a 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 $185.000.

Closed Council
Sessions Ended
In Montgomery
Action on Tuesday
Meetings Token After
Lengthy Protests
By ChorIes [. Hoffman

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil has agreed to open its regular
Tuesday morning closed sessions
to the public and the press, it
was learned today.
The council has been under fire
for more than two years from
individual residents, citizens as
|Sociations and the Montgomery
County Press Association for its
closed-session policy.
1--WE hope this action will lead
to better understanding OF
council activities" Said George
Nesbitt. who was elected council
president Tuesday.
In the past the council has held
weekly closed sessions on Tues
days at $3.50 am, then an open
session before the press and public
beginning at 2 pm. the same day.
Under this practice, the council
thrashed out most of it's problems
in secret in the mornings and
then took formal action on them
in speedy fashion during the
Afternoon open session.
Residents and the press asso-
citation complained that the lack
of discussion during the open ses-
sion of many important actions
created a great deal of misunder-
standing.
Mr.. NeSbitt also said that the
new policy would cut out much Of
the duplication of action expert
fenced under the double session
program. This will be the first
time since the inception of the
council-manager form of gov
ernment in Montgomery that
weekly closed sessions have not
been scheduled.

For the first time in Office, Pres
ident Truman didn't get the first
piece of cake last night.
1t went to Marine Pfc. Constante
j. Montene of Brooklyn. He re-
ceived the honor by drawing the
lucky number during the first an
niversary 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: II don't
eat cake"
Signs Guest Book.
Possibly acting on impulse, MIR.
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 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 military emer-
gency.
Terming the club 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.
Cites Help in Start.
"It has been my privilege" the
President declared. to be of some

ANSWER: Several answers are
given in the Talmud for this ques-
ton (Talmud Babli, Moed Katan,
81. The basic answer is the fact
that the happiness of the week
was to concentrate on the festival
and not on other factors. A new
Unmarried couple would thus be
confusing the gaiety of the mar
riage with the happiness OF the
holiday and it is a general rule
in Jewish life that one does not
mix happy occasions, but rather
gives each one his appropriate
measure of attention.

QUESTION: What IL "Chol
z3amoed2"
ANSWER: The intermediate
days of a festival are called
"Chol Hamoed." The term may be
said to be equivalent to saying
ssthe weekdays Of the festival"
This means to say that where the
first two days and the last two
days of the Passover or the Sue
Goth holidays are entirely holy
and all work is prohibited, (save
that of preparing food for the
day. the days that lie between
the first two and the last two are
weekdays insofar as certain
types of~work deemed absolutely
necessary are permitted. This per-
iod is also referred to as ''Moed
Koten" which means a small
holiday"
QUESTION: Why were such
periods instituted?
ANSWER: Generally speaking
these periods were instituted on
Passover and Succoth because the
Bible ordained a full week of fes-
! tiVity, Since it would have been
most difficult, if not impossible
to insist on a complete abstinence

and national origin from their
admission forms.
Need for such action was indi-
Gated in a League study last year
which showed that 92.27 per cent
of the 518 schools and colleges
surveyed asked at least one po-
tentially discriminatory question.
