Kent County Declared
BrucellOsis Control Area

Kent County has been declared
Bangs Disease (Brucellosis)
Control Area by the State Board
of Agriculture, and has been plac-
ed under quarantine for testing of
dairy and beef cattle under the
area plan. About so percent of
the cattle are already tested to
date. The law provides that after
rs percent have been tested, the
State Board of Agriculture may
quarantine all cattle and milk of
the remaining rs percent until the
animals have passed a satisfac-
tory blood test.
DR.. w. H. Boyer, the county
veterinarian for the State Board
of Agriculture, points out that
any infected animal can spread
the disease within the herd and
to neighboring herds. So it be-
comes important for every farmer
to help convince his neighbor that
it is necessary for him to get his
herd tested as soon as possible. 1t
is planned that all dairy and beef
cattle will be tested by July 1,
1856, so that Delaware will be
certified as a Bangs Disease Free
Area, which is already the case
with tuberculosis.
Bangs Disease can cause un-
dulant fever in humans through
infected milk or animal products,
or even contact with a carrier of
the disease. 1t also causes abor-
ton in dairy animals, and the dis
ease cannot be cured once an an
imal in infected. Blood testing
locates reactors, which are remov-
ed from the herd and slaughtered.
Indemnity payment is made to
farmer when he removes a re-
actor in order to lessen the shock
of his loss and in order to pro-
tect public health.
The county veterinarian will
test new herds free of charge.
But if farmer refuses to submit
to test at a given time for reas-
ons of his own, he can pay to
have the service performed by his
private veterinarian, although he
is still subject to the quarantine
on movement Of his milk and cat
tie until the test is performed and
any reactors removed. This may
require a period as long as
week.
Farmers are invited to discuss
the matter with their milk in

Recent Prison Inmate Souqht
In $9, 900 Payroll Theft
On Job Only II Days
Clerk Vunishes
After Handling Gosh

A payroll clerk, who got his
job only IL days after release
from Lewisburg Penitentiary. is
the object OF an intense police
search today in connection with
theft OF almost $4,000 from a
College Park construction firm.
He was identified by Prince
Georges County detectives as
William Woodrow Thompson,
20, of the 4500 block of Baltimore
boulevard, Hyattsville, an en-
ploye of the Leo Butler Con-
struction Co.
The shortage of $8,957.51 from
pay envelopes was discovered
yesterday after an investigation
prompted by telephone call
from Thompson's mother-in-
law, Mrs. Mable Cline of Hyatts-
vile, as to his whereabouts.
Detective Sergeants Emmett
Gray and j. P. Kearns said the
bonded employe of the firm ac-
companied Paymaster Roy A.
Scheunert, 40, to the College
Park branch of the Suburban
Trust Co. to prepare pay en-
velopes.
The two withdrew the money
and went to the counting room
and worked back-to-back, filling
envelopes.
Phone Message Left.
The envelopes then were
placed in money bags which were
sealed and placed in the vault
for delivery to employees yes
terday.
The payroll workers then re-
turned to the company's offices
at 92l7 Fifty-first avenue where,
police said they were told, a tele-
phone message had been left for
Thompson stating that his wife,
Barbara, %, was i'll and he was
needed at nome lmmedlately.
Suspicion of possible pay
roll shortage arose when Mrs.
Cline told the Office manager
her daughter was not sick.

found that envelopes handled
by Thompson contained not
more than So and a little change.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 26.-The
House of Delegates ended its
long fight over rockfish by de-
cisively rejecting a proposal that
none be caught in January and
February.
Actively supported by organ
lied sports fishermen, the two
month ban which would have
hit commercial fishermen when
their market price is highest
was thrown out by a vote Of
62-34.
The tally came on a motion
by Delegate Machen, Democrat,
of Prince Georges to reverse an
unfavorable report by the Ches-
apeake Bay and Tributaries
Committee.
Mr.. Machen sought to prevent
the committees sentiment from
being affirmed.
Proponents of the ban still
haven't surrendered. A spokes-
man said a motion to reconsider
the vote will be made Monday
night in hopes of changing some
minds. They would have to
change % to reverse the de-
ciSion.
The spokesman said if they
fail they will turn to Congress
and ask it to declare rockfish a
game fish in Maryland. This
would prohibit catching it COM
mercially.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 26.-Legis-
lation to prevent District of CO.
lumbia building and loan asso-
Citations from opening new
branches in Maryland has passed
it's first hurdle in the Maryland
General Assembly.
The House Banking, Insurance
and Social Security Committee
gave it a unanimous favorable
report yesterday after being told
by former Democratic Congress
man Lansdale G. Sasscer that the
financial structure of Maryland
building and loan associations is
jeopardized by big District asso-
Citations. which can set up
branches in Maryland without
hearing or supervision. s.
Mr.. Sasscer represented the
Montgomery and Prince Georges
County building and loan asso-
Citations.
Raymond c. Williams. presi-
dent of the District Building and
Loan League, said the % District
associations have been doing a
grand job for Maryland" through
home loans. He contended his
associations had been building
up billions of dollars of new
capital for Maryland"
Mr.. Williams conceded the bill
would discourage competition. 1t
also violates the free enterprise
principle. he said.
William Rogers of the Mary
land Savings and Loan League
and T. Hammond Welsh, jr., Of
the Hyattsville Building and
Loan Association, countered that
the bill does not affect the max
ing of home loans in Maryland
by District associations.
The only other spokesman
against the bill, introduced by
Delegate Warren Browning, DEM
ocrat, of Montgomery was Ed
ward L. McAleer, president Of the
Equitable Cooperative Building
Association. He pointed out that
Maryland has no supervising
body over building and loan as

Bill Shifting Control
Of Sanitary Agency
Rushed 10 McKeIdin
BY O Ssar Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 26. The
Democratic bill to enlarge the
membership of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
and take it out of Republican
hands was on the desk of Re-
publican Gov. McKeldin today.
The Democratic leaders of the
Montgomery and Prince Georges
bloc here rushed it to enactment
yesterday on a 28-to-0 vote in
the Senate and a 103-to-3 vote
in the House.
The Governor has until Friday
to sign or veto the measure. The
Democrats have said that, if he
vetoes it. they have the necessary
three-fifths majority of votes
necessary to override him.
Sets Up Six Members.
The bill would increase the BIZ
county water and sewer utility
commission from three to six
members. Now all three COM
missioners are Republicans, ap-
pointed by the Governor. The
Democratic plan provides that
the Governor name two, the
Montgomery County Council two,
and the Prince Georges County
Commissioners two.
The bill, which has an emer-
gency clause making it effec-
tive as soon as the Governor
signs it or as soon as his veto is
overridden. would have the eff
feet of ousting at least one
of the three Republican incum-
bents, since the Governor could
reappoint only two.
In another action yesterday
the House, on a 10G~b.0 vote,
passed and sent to the Senate
a bill requiring the sanitary
commission to consult with the
N1dl yld4AO-4NdVlOA1dl ain dAAO
Planning Commission on new

Speed Limit Authority.
The Senate on a voice vote
adopted a favorable report on a
measure to allow the Prince
Georges County commissioners
to set speed limits on county
roads. The Senate went along
with its Finance Committees
favorable action on the bill after
Senator H. Winship Wheatley,
jr., Democrat. of Prince Georges
explained that the State would
still collect the fines from traf-
fic violations on county roads.
A bill signed into law by the
Governor on Thursdays gives
municipalities the right to set
speed limits on their own roads.

violation of whatever speed
