incorrectly. The Star said that
a girl passenger was injured
when a taxicab in which she
was riding struck the rear of a
car waiting for a red light near
First street and New York ave-
nue. NE. 1t said further that
the cab driver, Benjamin F..
Perkins Of the $500 block Of

with failing to give full time
and attention to his driving.
Official Police Department rec
ords show that the Perkins cab
had stopped for the red light
and another car, driven by Mrs.
Audrey Forsythe of the 1000
block Of Fourteenth street Sc,
was the striking car. Mrs. For
sythe was given a traf1c ticket
on charges of failing to give full
time and attention to her driv-
ing. Mr.. Perkins cab was the
one struck and he was not
charged. The Star regrets the
error.

Stranded Aspirants
OF Strike Il Rich
Even Burden Here

stranded would-be contestants
on the Strike It Rich" show are
one more burden for Washing
tons hard-pressed Travellers Aid
Society. Miss Lucille Bruner,
executive director of the society.
said yesterday.
/ The show, already facing a
demand from New York City
Welfare Commissioner Henry L.
Mccarthy that it get a license
for public solicitation, now is
facing an investigation by a New
York State committee probing
charity rackets.
The show is broadcast over
NBC radio five days a week and
is telecast on CHS five days and
one night a week. It chooses
contestants with hard-luck
stories or who for other reasons
say they need money.
Must Be Resident for Year.
Miss Bruner said the contest
ants who fail to get on the show
are not solely the burden of New
York'S Welfare Department. She
pointed out that public agencies
here cannot help the stranded
contestants because the Districts
welfare recipients must be resi-
dents for a year. So the Travel
ers Aid Society gets them.
She said this need for service
reflected the difference between
aid in New York and in Wash
ington. In New York aid is
based on need. In Washington
public aid is based on need plus
residence.
Two Cases Are Cited.
Miss Bruner cited two cases of
Strike It Rich" would-be con-
testants stranded here. In one
case, she said. a man got this
far from Nashville with a wife
eight months pregnant and two
children. They were assisted to
get to New York. but failed to
get on the program.
In the other case, she said.
q family of eight with a mother
suffering from cancer had not
eaten for Is hours when they
came to Travellers Aid. They
did get on the show, receiving
a COW, a television set and an
automobile. She said what
they really needed was medical
care, clothes and long term fam
lily guidance.

To Prevent Disease,
Keep Visitors Away
From Stock Barns

If farmers will keep visitors
away from stock barns and poultry
uuliulngs they will help keep new
diseases off the farm, the American
Foundation for Animal Health said
here today.
Stringent precautions to keep
all visitors away from livestock and
poultry may seem harsh, but they
will pay dividends in reduced di-
sease losses" Foundation officials
SAID. visitors may bring in the
germs and viruses of many diseases
on their clothing and shoes. Such
infectious diseases as hog cholera,
fowl pox,s erysipelas, shipping
fever, and many others may be
spread in this way"
The recent outbreak of foOt-and-
mouth disease in Canada may have
resulted from the virus being
brought from Europe on someone's s
clothing, Foundation authorities
indicated.
Owners should not hesitate to
keep visitors away from livestock
quarters" officials said This is
especially true when there are out
breaks of contagious diseases on
nearby farms!
Farmers should also apply the
keep out" rule to new stock
brought to the farm. All newly-pur-
chased animals should be held
in quaratine long enough to make
sure they are disease-free. If the
new animals show disease symp-
toms, veterinary diagnosis should
be obtained so the trouble may be
recognized and treated before it
spreads to healthy animals"
