mately 1900 firms have sent in at

Researchers Declare
Dogs for Vivisection
Are Needed Badly

The Washington areas need for
dogs for vivisection purposes has
grown so desperate" that medical
researchers may once again be-
seech Congress for legislative help
to increase the supply.
DR.. Charles Morgan said yester-
day that since last year expanded
research requirements have in
creased by nearly 1000, nearly
double.
Since the outbreak of the Ko-
rean War, need for experimental
dogs has nearly trebled, DR.. Nor
gan added. He is head of the
Georgetown University Medical
School physiological department,
and president of the District Com
mittee on Health and Research
which represents medical schools
and associations and Federal
health agencies.
1nadequacy of supply, in fact,
has reached the point where the
National Institutes of Health at
Bethesda is considering raising
its own dogs for vivisection.
Ask for Districts Dogs.
DR.. Morgan joined DR.. Norman
Topping, associate director OF
National Institutes of Health and
assistant surgeon general of the
Public Health Service, and DR..
Frederick Fishback, of the District
Medical Society. in personal
plea to the District Commissioners
last week for use of the Districts
Iunwanted dogs.
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue
regretfully told the medical men,
however, that under District law
the poundmaster has final say in
the disposition of his animals
which number about 5000 an
nually. And Poundmaster Frank
B. Marks has been saying no tc
vivisection for the last 10 years.
Present Source Inadequate.
DR.. Morgan pointed out yester-
day that the areas seven princi-
pal medical research centers have
had to rely on dog importations
from Pennsylvania. This source
is not only inadequate and some
times uncertain, but costly as well,
he said.
The physician explained that
increased Federal funds for re-
search in cancer, heart disease
and polio are accounting chiefly
for wider experimentation on dogs,
whose circulatory system closely
resembles that of human beings.
Commissioner Donohue, who,
with Engineer Commissioner Ber-
nard L. Robinson, is a dog-lover,
said that despite his feelings on
that score he would always favor
vivisection IF it means saving
the life of single human being

Citizens Federation
Opposes Case Bill
On Home Rule, 61-22

The Federation of Citizens As
sociations last night went on
record against the Case Home
Rule Bill by a 61-22 vote.
The vote was registered in
favoring a report by Mrs. Eta l..
Taggart, chairman of the suffrage
committee, which recommended
opposition to the Case Bill.
The report attacked the bill on
a number of grounds, among them
assertions that the bill:
1. Provides for an extensive
bonding program which lin the
end would be paid by small por-
ton of the citizens"
Mayor Not Elective.
2. Would authorize the President
to name the Mayor which con-
clusively shows that (the Case bilD
is not a genuine home rule bill"
3. Contains no provision requir-
ing the Federal Government to pay
any money in lieu of taxes for the
administration of the District.
A minority report, favoring the
bill "as step in securing for the
citizens of the District . funda-
mental rights of the American
system - was filed by Kenneth
p. Armstrong.
In other actions at the meeting
last night, held in the District
Building, the Federation favored
continuing the method of selecting
Board of Education members by
court appointment. rather than
by the District Commissioners.
Hold Gas Protest Futile.
A report of the Public Utilities
Committee, which protested the
proposed gas rate increase, was
adopted. The report, while criti-
cizing the rate schedule, stated
that the committee believed it was
futile to ask the Public Utilities
Commission to reconsider its de-
ciSlon on the rate increase APP
tplication.
The Federation passed a reso-
luton urging that no cut be made
in funds asked by the Veterans
Service Center here. The Senate
Appropriations Committee had
Topped off 100000 from the $127.-
1000 requested by the organization.
