EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Hearings on Research Animals,
A Precedent, Go Almost Unnoticed

of Georgetown University.
president Of the American
Board Of Urology, testified
that 1t was actually more
advantageous for medical
research to have animals
properly cared for and under
less stress. He endorsed the
proposed legislation that
provides better housing, care
and freedom from unneces-
sary pain.
Prof. A. N. Worden, d.
rector Of the Huntingdon Re-
search Center in England,
which is the counterpart Of
our Food and Drug labora-
tories, came all the way across
the ocean to tell how success
fully the British humane
animal law works. 1t has been
in existence for 80 years and
is the basis for our proposed
legislation.
He has 10000 animals in
his laboratories and Is the
author Of the Handbook on
the Care and Management Of
Laboratory Animals" that is
followed by the most intelli-
gent and humane medical
men in America. Both he and
noted British humanitarian
Mai. c. w. Hume, who crossed
the ocean to testify, said that
an enforced humane law was
more advantageous both to
the animals and to scientific
research, and they introduced
letters from British Nobel
scientists to prove it.
DR.. PAUL G. KIERNAN,
respected professor Of surgery
at Georgetown University and
founder Of the Washington
Clinic, came out 100 per cent
in favor Of the proposed legis-
lation.
"I am well aware Of the
objections raised by medical
research groups but I am
completely baffled by the rea-
sons given for these objec-
tions," he said. zone would
think the purpose Of this bill
was to prohibit animal exper-
mentation and that it was
sponsored by anti-vivisection-
lists. This Is certainly not the
case"
The doctor isn't the only
one baffled. Everybody with
some milk Of human kindness
within them. must be equally
baffled., +f
He asked the House COM
mittee: "Is it not perfectly
reasonable to provide ade-
ouate and comfortable space,
food and water for animals
used In experimental work."
He offered q letter proving
that the late DR.. John II.
Lyons, "one Of the great sur
geons in this country, dean
of Washington surgery and
president of the D. c. Medi-
cal Society,"" had gone on
record supporting the Senate
bill for humane treatment.

vens' father, DR.. Gesell, was

Star staff Writer

This is not a story about
parties or the charming peo-
pie who attend them. If you
don't have a strong stomach,
don't read any further.
IF you have the courage to
60 on, do so. For you are the
ones who can do something
about it. Most Of you have
some connection with the
Nations lawmakers. Some OF
you people Of good will help
raise money for hospitals and
some Of you sit on hos
pital boards where it is not
likely that you are ever ia
miliarized with the condi-
tions stated below.
It's a strange commentary
on the American public, but
virtually no notice was taken
of the hearings held last FRI
day before the House Sub
committee on Health and
Safety.
Yet this was the first time
in our entire history that the
incredibly inhumane treat
ment - and this refers only
to the UNNECESSARY in
humane treatment - Of ami
mails used in research was
ever brought to the attention
Of a Congressional commit
tee.
That 1t came up at all on
Capitol Hill was due to a
small but growing band OF
informed people, and to the
humanity Of q Congressman
named Kenneth A. Roberts
Of Alabama, chairman Of the
Subcommittee on He alth
and Safety.
SENATOR MAURINE NEU-
BERGER, who was cured OF
cancer and feels o particular
debt to research animals, was
the first to testify in favor
of legislation that would pre-
vent their cruel treatment.
Mrs, Ludwig Bemelmans
feels so strongly about the
needless torture Of dumb
creatures that she left the
bedside of her desperately
i'll husband long enough to
fly down, enter her state
ment. and fly back to New
York.
It's q pity there was no
microphone in front Of those
who testified so that the
press, the crowded room and
maybe the world could have
heard the testimony Of Fred
Myers, executive director Of
the Humane Society of the
United States, and Christine
Stevens, president Of the AMI
NAL Welfare Institute. Nei-
ther wanted to interfere with
medical research. Each only

like to praise the persistence
of her colleague, Ann. Free,
who discovered in 1859 the
stark horror In which hun
dreds of Food and Drug dogs,
mostly beagles, are kept in
the windowless sub-basement
of the South Agriculture
Building.
With the help Of Senator
Lister Hill and Representa-
tive John Fogarty, it took
her a year and a half to get
appropriations for a labora-
tory kennel in Beltsville.

wanted to insure kinder
treatment.
Stating that II have my
self. in the last five years,
visited more than 40 Of the
largest and best known ami
mal-using laboratories Of the
United States" Mr.. Myers
said, "I have seen a live and
fully conscious dog, with an
open incision into the tho
racic and abdominal cavity,
lying on the concrete floor OF
a corridor in that same lab
oratory Zone Of the National
Institutes Of HEALTH, writh-
ing desperately but unable to
rise, while q dozen or more
men and women passed with
out as much as a sideways
glance"
Showing the committee a
Blalock press lined with rows
of dull steel teeth, Mr.. Myers
told how the University OF
Rochester crushed the legs Of
400 dogs in the press to study
the effects and causes Of
shock. In all cases, he said,
the dogs were anesthetized
before the pressure Of 1000
pounds per square inch was
applied to their legs, but
though each dog remained in
the press for several hours
no dog was given any anes-
thetic or pain-relieving drug
the last hour in the press nor
after they were taken out and
tied down to a table for IL
hours. All died from unneceS-
sary excruciating pain in
anywhere from 5 to "a hours.
And this to dogs that have
never done anything but love
man!
HE TOLD HOW EXPERT
MENTERS supported by the
Office Of Naval Research
scalded 43 female dogs by
dipping them, while aneSthe-
tized, into water heated to
1876 degrees F but gave the
dogs no anesthetic when they
gained consciousness. Most of
them died within "a hours in
intense agony because nobody
bothered to put them out OF
their misery.
He told how at Tulane
University cats are confined
in suspended cages with wire
mesh floors so widely spaced
the cats couldn't stand or lie
down in normal manner. How
rhesus monkeys are chained
by the neck inside steel cages
so small the animals could
barely move.
The American Medical As
sociation and research groups
have agreed TN q published
statement that the postoper-
ative "care Of animals must
be such as to minimize
discomfort during conva-
lescence."
But such statements have
proved to be a hollow mock
cry. Only by converting into
enforceable law what Is now

only a pious and dishonored
preachment" can this be
achieved, said Mr.. Myers.
Mrs. Stevens testified that
"the director of a large medi-
cal school about whose treat
ment Of animals we have
been complaining for six
years" wrote that his animals
were given "the most hu-
name care" But an investi-
CATION by her organization
proved that they had never
been released from their
cages into the runways, for
exercise, that they were kept
in conditions almost too
sickening to describe here.
She told how medical stu
dents are allowed to per-
form a whole series Of pain
full experiments on the same
pitiful emaciated dogs = ex-
experiments that can provide
no useful knowledge - and
then give them no assistance
afterwards because they are
going to die anyway. British
born and educated DR.. Leon
Bernstein, subsequently de-
cried this sort Of thing as in
ducing sadistic tendencies.
MRS. STEVENS included
in her testimony the state
ment Of one of her represen-
tatives, Mrs. Frank Wilson,
who visited the animal quar-
ters of a well-known New
York City hospital and
found dogs used for heart
surgery and blood donations
sick and left without water
in hot weather, all kept in
small, dirty, mesh-bottom
cages with no bedding, in q
dark, smelly room so filled
with excrement and vermin
they later swarmed over her
feet as soon as she stepped
in. Nothing could be done,
she was told, because the
doctor in charge was on vaca-
ton in Europe.
Yet this was one Of $4,000
research projects which this
year will receive a total Of
$840 million from the Ma
tional Institutes Of Health.
The Congress that voted it
could withhold it from those
unconcerned about the stand
ard of treatment.
The cases Of outright un-
necessary starvation, need
less pain and criminal neglect
went on and one sat there
with q lump in ones throat
and a sickness in ones
stomach wondering how any
doctor could oppose q hui
name law.
How, indeed, could even
a vivisectionist- baS-
ically all decent people must
adhor vivisection-be against
kinder treatment as long as
animals continue to be used
for research?
