approximately 800 of them, large and
small, with about $4,000 cattle Some
200, owners of more than half the
cattle in the county, joined and as
Sessed themselves Is cents head to
support association activities.
And these are almost exclusively
aimed at stopping thefts. Although
Latin has not so far helped bring
suspected cattle thief to trial, he's
kept plenty busy keeping an eye on
livestock in the county and just be-
ing around to discourage any at
tempted thievery.
Part of his job is finding, or try
ing to find, missing stock When he
started work last year, Latin was
given a list of 70 head said to be
missing. He found 33 the first sum-
mer, plus quite few others that
strayed after he started work. On
the negative side, another 16 head
joined the list of lost and not found
'I'm really puzzled at couple of
these, too," Frosty says. "One ranch
er lost two mature bulls and we
haven't been able to find them, dead
or alive. Maybe somebody butchered
them-but why would anyone want
to steal bulls to eat?"
Find Animal. Lose Owner
Every once in a while, too, the job
of locating strays takes reverse
twist and Latin finds himself with
an animal and no owner. And the
owner is often harder to find than
a stray would be, since there is usu-
ally pasturage fee involved. A
number of these cases-and all
which involve an unbranded animal
or one carrying a blotched brand
end up at auction. The sale money
after pasturage charges are paid, goes
to the state livestock commission.
But most of Lattin's time is spent
checking cattle movements within
the county. That takes him over

ty roads a month and to many o.

own advisers.
"The various attacks on my
background statement do not. &.
bear on the main thesis OF the
statement, which is that the
evidence indicates overwhelm-
ingly that AD-X2 is effective.
Charges that I 'overinter-
preted' the NIT work fail to
acknowledge the fact that the
NIT work must be regarded not
by itself but in relation to the
other work, to which it renders
full credence."
Analyses Bureau Tests.
To support his thesis that the
Bureau of Standards tests on
AD-X2 are not extensive enough
to be conclusive, DR.. Ladder gave
this version of the bureaus
tests:
II. Prior to the Summer OF
1850, the only work on AD-X2
that the bureau has ever claimed
to have done was a single test
in one battery.
SO. BY the fall of 1852, the
bureaus position was a shade
stronger, but still quite unten-
able. A much more detailed test
on AD-X2 had been carried out
and the bureau concluded in
their report that any differences
between treated and untreated
cells were statistically insight
flcant. The interesting point is
that some differences, favorable
to AD-X2, were observed, but
were considered to be too small

DR.. Keith r. Ladder, who acted
as a Senate consultant on bat
terry additive AD-X2, said today
that the Bureau of Standards
opposition to use of the chemical
is utterly unreasonable"
'I cannot fail to conclude that
the small group Of bureau of
Standards) scientists involved
have allowed their preconceived
notions to cloud their Judgment. "
DR.. Ladder said.
This was the first statement
DR.. Ladder has made on the con-
troversy since Secretary of Com
merce Weeks cited the dispute
in explaining his moves to fire
DR.. Allen v. Astin as Director of
the Bureau of Standards.
DR.. Ladder. as associate pro-
fessor of chemistry at Catholic
University, was in his native
England when the Astin incident
arose. He has just returned to
his teaching duties here. He ex-
planned his side of the case in an
interview with The Star today.
Prepared Senate Report.
DR.. Ladder has received ST ,977
in writing and retainer fees from
Jess M. Ritchie, the manufac-
turer of AD-X2. DR.. Ladder, as
a non-paid consultant to the
Senate Small Business Commit
tee, prepared last December an
analysis of various tests on AD-
X2-including those done by the
Bureau of Standards, a private
testing laboratory and the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. DR.. Ladders report,
published by the Small Business
Committee, recommended uni
VerSal use OF AD-A2.
The Bureau of Standards, how
ever, still insists that AD-X2 is
worthless.
ITO say. in the face Of the
NIT evidence, that the bureau
tests are still to be taken as
proving conclusively that the
material is worthless, is utterly
unreasonable" DR.. Ladder said.
"Yet on October 13, 1852, after
preliminary NIT results had
been made known to them, sew
eral members of the bureau staff
testified under oath at a Post
Office fraud hearing that AD-X2

was worthless. It is difficult to
recognize that such action was
consistent with an objective sci
entific approach to the problem.
I'm no instance, and the addi-
tive case is no exception, do l
have reason to doubt the integrl-
ty of the bureau staff. In con-
nection with the testing of addi-
tives, however, L cannot fail to
conclude that the small group OF
scientists involved have allowed
their preconceived notions to
cloud their judgment and to
condemn a product against
which even the most skeptical
would say the case was not
proven.
Scientists would do we'll to
acquaint themselves with the
facts regarding the bureaus at
titude to the additive before
passing judgment on the Secre-
tary of Commences action with
regard to the bureau; the cry of
political pressure Is merely a
smoke screen being used to
obscure the true issue"
Objectivity Held Real Issue.
The real issue, said the slim,
pipe smoking professor. is wheth-
er the bureau scientists who test
ed AD-X2 were completely OBJ
jective."
He said a considerable num-
ber of scientific tests "show very
significant favorable effects" of
AD-X2 in popping up lead-acid
batteries such as those used in
automobiles. This evidence-plus
the testimonials of satisfied users
of AD-X2-could be refuted only
oy exceedingly careful expert
ments on a wide SCALE" DR.. Laid
ler said.
And he indicated doubt that
the bureau has done this.
In defense of his December
statement he prepared for the
Senate Small Business Commit
tee, DR.. Ladder said:
This background statement.
which clearly only represented
one individuals opinion on the
matter, has been given consider

has even been expressed that it

Of Commerce in his action with

Ex-Grid Stars Wife
Kills -Four Children
By Gas in Garage
BY the Associated Press

MAHWAH, N. j., May "A
29-year-old woman, estranged
from her ex-football star hus-
band, killed her four young chill
dren by carbon monoxide poison
ing yesterday in the garage of
their fashionable home.
In an apparent change of
mind, she pulled some of the
youngsters from the family sta
ton wagon, but not in time to
save them, police said.
why didn't it kill me, why
didn't it kill me?" moaned Mrs.
Carol Macdonald when police
found her in the living room of
her home. Mr.. Macdonald is a
former football player at Rutgers
University.
Deputy Attorney General Ellis
Kopp said she apparently in
tended to take her own life and
had left six suicide notes. How
ever, he said, there was no evi-
dence that Mrs. Macdonald
actually tried to kill herself.
A hazy story from the woman
failed to establish whether she
had been in the death car with
her two sons and two daughters,
who ranged in age from 2 to :
years.
Police quoted Mrs. MacDon-
aid as saying, "at least the chill
dren won't have anything to
worry about now"
A murder charge was placed
against Mrs. Macdonald in Ber-
gen County jail. Mr.. Kopp said
he was uncertain whether she
would be arraigned today or
taken to a mental hospital for
observation.
Mrs. Macdonald and her 81
year-old husband, Kenneth. have
been separated since February,
when he filed a divorce suit
charging her with adultery with

Allyn, acting chief of Bergen
County detectives, said.

of the NIT results is not that,
when standing alone, they attest
to the commercial value of the
product; it is that, when con-
sidered side by side with the
nonial evidence and the
earlier tests, they remove any
misgivings that one may have
had regarding such evidence and
tests. An exceeding cautious and
skeptical person might still not
be prepared to go further than
to say that a prima facie case
had been made for AD-X2; most
of us would say that the matter
was effectively settled.
But to say, in the face of the
NIT evidence. that the bureau
tests are still to be taken as

4-Pariy Conference
or Spy Defendants
And Counsel Refused

Federal Judge Alexander Holt
zoff declined to order the Gov
ernment to allow four-party
meetings among two spy defend
ants and their attorneys.
The defendants. Otto Verber
and Kurt L. Ponger, foreign born
ex-GIs, are facing trial on
charges of conspiring to spy for
the Soviet Union.
Upon instructions Of Govern
ment attorneys, the United States
marshal has allowed only in
dividual meetings between each
defendant and his counsel. The
Government has asserted there
is a conflict Of interests between
the defendants which might re-
suit in threats of violence If
group conferences were allowed.
Attorney Roger Robb, who is
representing the accused along
with Attorney James Toomey,
asked the court to allow four
party conferences.
But yesterday Judge Holtzof,
in denying the motion, said he
did not believe he had the au-
thority to interfere with the mar
shal in the matter. He suggested
the Government review the stu
alton to see if the matter could
be worked out amicably. Prose-
cutor William Hitz told the court
this might be done some time

One-Year Extension
Seen Assured for
Reciprocal Trade

President Eisenhower favors
continuing the Reciprocal Trade
Act for another year and Con-
gress early next month probab bly,
VIII approve such an extension.
This was the belief of Repub-
hcan leaders today, after Gen
Eisenhower voiced his views at a
neF.s conference late yesterday
House Speake" Martin said he
believed it would be "wisest" for
Congress to continue the law
without major change for a year
beyond its scheduled June IL ex-
piration date.
Republican policy leaders re-
portedly agreed on the extension
move recently at a White House
conference.
Changes Proposed.
But several substantial changes
are proposed in an extension bill
on which the House Ways and
Means Committee will hold pub
lie hearings beginning April %.
That bill. sponsored by Rep
resentative Simpson, Republican,
OF Pennsylvania would extend
for an additional year the au--
thority of the President to enter
into reciprocal trade agreements
with other nations. Mr.. Simp-
son said he understood that
President Eisenhower favors
such an extension of the law
which in past years figured in
congressional fights when it came
UP for renewal.
Leaders Views Not Known.
It is not known, however,
whether the White House, Speak
er Martin and other G. o. P.
congressional leaders would sup
port the significant changes"
Mr.. Simpson says he wants writ
ten into the extension resolu-
ton.
The Simpson bill would give
the Tariff Commission broader
authority in the pre-negotiation
phase of trade agreements and
IN the granting of escape-clause
relief. The measure would in
crease the membership of the
commission from six to seven.
Another proposed change. Mr..
Simpson said, is designed to
strengthen our domestic petro-
leum, coal, lead and zinc indus
tries closely allied with the pub
lie interest and essential to our
national defense program"

Since Chevrolet builds more cars than any
other manufacturer, Chevrolet can build
them better and sell them for less Along
with General Motors, Chevrolet has
greater facilities for research, for engineer

these greater facilities bring manufacturing
advantages and economies which Chevros
