Now the University of Mary
land has developed a flock Of
chickens that can barely get off
the ground.
What a boon for the neigh
boris garden! All you have to
have is an 18-inch fence.
DR.. c. S. Shaffner has about
1000 Of them now. another
1000 are in prospect shortly. It's
something he's been working on
for seven years.
His object was to breed a
strain of chickens that didn't
have the % primary and sec
ondary fight feathers on each
wing. He already was convinced
the feathers were good for moth
ing but flying. He wasn't think
ing so much Of low fences as he
was the extra work and expen-
sive machinery needed to pluck
the fight feathers in dressing a
chicken for market.
DR.. Shaffner had a knife
poised ready to kill q rooster in
a laboratory project one day in
1949 when a student assistant
almost screamed at him: THAT
chicken doesn't have any wing
feathers"

F. On Problems Of Deal,
BY The Associated Press

A congressional committee has
reported after a study of health
conditions that deafness prob
ably has received less atten-
ton than any other major medi-
cal problem-although there are
more than 4 million wholly or
partially deaf persons in the
United States.
More is known about the pre-
vention and control of many
diseases than is being applied"
the House Commerce Committee
said in a report yesterday. The
committee, headed by Repre-
sentative Wolverton Republican
OF New Jersey, summarized
testimony received in extensive
hearings, but said its own con-
cluslons would come later.
1t said there were problems
OF education, motivation and
economies to be solved so that
people would know the early
symptoms of diseases, have the
inclination to do something
about them and be able to at
ford the needed medical help.
Meanwhile. said the commit.
tee. only half the durable cases
OF cancer, as an example. are
getting care in time to be treated
successfully.
The committee said the hu-
man suffering and economic loss
attributable to disease amounted
TO "a national problem of the
first magnitude"
1t cited the rejection or dis.
charge on grounds of mental dis
orders of 2.5 million men during
World War II and said public
care OF the mentally i'll costs SIT
billion annually and is increasing
at the rate of 500 million a
year.
The annual cost of cancer in
lost goods and services was put
at $l2 billion.
The committee said the main
recommendations it received in
cluded calls for more research.
greater support of rehabilitation
programs and increased efforts
to provide the specialized per-
sonnet needed.
