Planners Seek
OK on Authorit,
10 Issue Bonds

A test suit was filed in Mont
Igomery County Circuit Court TO-
day in an effort to remove pres
lent bars on the issuance of new
bonds by the Maryland Nation
Ial Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
The suit was filed by the
planning commission to clear ur
legal questions raised by the
veto of a commission reorgani-
zation bill by Gov. McKeldirI
last spring.
The bill passed by the Genera
Assembly was vetoed by the Gov
Iernor in a message which cas-
doubt on its validity and it!
possible effect on the commits,
sion's status and power.
As a result. j. Bond Smith
counsel for the planning co.'s
mission. said the commission ha'
been blocked from the issuanc'
Iof some 50 million in bond

Doubt on Validity
Under present law any bil

Iretary of state to the Genera
Assembly for a possible over

The suit also asked the court
to determine whether the bill

nal of the State Senate fails to
show that rules were suspended
during its consideration when II
received more than one reading
in the Legislature on the same
legislative day.
The planning commission has
emphasized that 1t is not attack

Veterinary
Fall CastratiOn May
Reduce Water Belly
By J. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

THE JAN. 1, 1855, issue OF the
Montana Farmer-Stockman had an ar
ticle on ''water-belly" in steer calves.
The article anticipated some results
of investigative work being carried
on by rancherS and the Montana Veter-
mary Research Laboratory. Some OF
the results are in and they are very
interesting.
The active group of Meagher County
stockmen conducted survey on ''wa-
ter-belIy'' in steer calves covering the
years from 1952-54. The survey shows
the incidence of ''water-belly' in 1908
spring castrated calves to be per cent.
The incidence of 'water-belly" in 448
fall-castrated calves was or per cent.
They are now conducting another sur
vey which will cover the 'water-belly''
incidence of this past winter.
At the Veterinary Research Labora-
tory measurements of the urethra we're
made on yearling spring castrates,
yearling fall-castrates and yearling
bulls, just last month. The average of
the smallest diameters in the urethra
of each animal in each group was as
follows: Spring castrates, 3.3 nm; fall
castrates, AS nm; bulls, SIS nm.
In other words, this shows that a
yearIing bull could pass calculi about
twice as large as could a spring-cas-
trated yearling steer. The fall-cas-
trated yearIing steer would be able
to pass a caIculi about one-half again
the diameter of that which could be
passed by the spring castrated yearling
steer.
These urethraI measurements bear
out the findings of the Meagher COun-
ty survey in that the incidence of
'water-beIIy'' was much lower in the
fall-castrated steers.
1t certainly appears, from the data
so far, that deferred or fall-castration
will lower the incidence of water-belly
very materially. The Montana Veterin-
airy Research Laboratory, Montana
State College, Bozeman, Montana,
would like to have a lot more data on
this before it makes the specific recon-
mendation that fall-castration will pay
off in cutting down ''water-belly." The
more evidence you have, the more con-
elusive you can be.
They would like to have reports from
as many ranchers as possible who
would carry on a little experiment OF
their own. That is, castrate half of the
calves in the spring, castrate the other
half in the fall and then compare the
incidence of 'water-belly''. If you can
conduct this little experiment, let the
laboratory know so that all results can
be correlated. So far, the results look
promising. If further investigation
proves the information obtained so far
to be correct, it appears that water
belly" can be reduced rs per cent by
fall castration.

Morgenfhau I
Says He Didn't
Suspect White
By the Associated Press

Henry Morgenthau. jr., has
told Senate investigators that
during his long tenure as Secre-
tary of the Treasury he had no
reason to suspect that Harry
Dexter White was a Soviet spy.
Mr.. Morgenthau was witness
yesterday before the Senate In
ternal Security subcommittee.
For about a year, with his CO.
operation, it has been examining
the detailed diary he kept while
a cabinet member from 1884 un-
til mid-1945.
The portion of his testimony
made public after the closed
door hearing dealt with White.
a former Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, now dead.
Attorney General Brownell as
serted in a speech on November
6, 1853, that former President
Truman promoted White early in
1916 after the FBI notified the
White House that White was q
Soviet spy.
Mr.. Truman accused Mr.,
Brownell of cheap political
trickery." He said he hadeper-
mitted the promotion of White
to United States director of the
international Monetary Fund so
that White and others accused as
spies could be kert under surveil-
lance.
Mr.. Morgenthau, who left the
Treasury before Whites appoint
ment to the monetary fund post,
said mo security agency. and no
individual. ever reported or sug-
gested to me that there was any
doubt about Whites loyalty"
"It was sometime after / had
resigned before l learned that
any charge Of disloyalty had been
made against him. ",he continued.
"I was shocked and surprised
when those charges were first
brought to my attention"
Mr.. Morgenthau testified that
had the charges been brought to
his attention while he was Secre-
tary, he would have suspended
White Immediately and ordered a
full investigation.
Senator Eastland, Democrat,
OF Mississippi, the subcommittee
chairman. praised Mr.. Morgen-
thau for his cooperation and
told him: Il want to make it
quite clear that we are not en-
gagged in. nor do we propose, an
investigation of you or of your
official conduct"

Charged By ETC With False,
Misleading and
Deceptive Advertising

Abuses by some private companies
selling health and welfare insurance
were spot-lighted again last week as
the Federal Trade Commission
charged three more firms with false
misleading, and deceptive" advertis-
ing.
Similar complaints were leveled
against II companies last October,
six in December and five in March,
bringing to 81 the total number ac-
eused of making "phony" claims.
All told, they represent more than
one-third of the total accident and
health coverage on an individual poll
cy basis in the United States and their
total business amounts to more than
1915 million annually.
CANCELLATION CLAUSE CITED
The newest complaints were issued
against Inter-Ocean Insurance Co.,
Cincinnati; Washington National In
surance Co., Evanston. ILL.,, and
Insurance Co., Boston.
The principal charge brought
against the three, like those named
in the previous complaints, is that
they advertise their policies will re-
main in effect as long as the policy
