Price 10 Cents FORD 52nd Yea i Tribune Second Section Newfoundland OK's Crown Zellerbach MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1958 Pages 1-6 Organized Campaigns Pressed Against Animals in Science Delos Smith By DELOS SMITH Unltad Press Science Editor New York HP) Aside from the stimulation Russia's two Sputniks gave to American space science, the sharpest American re ft c t i o n has been directed at those sci ences and sci tists who use dogs and cats exDerimental- -ifu for tne Pur" pose of ad vancing human well-being. The reason for it is that Laika, a dog, died in Sputnik II. The reaction has been, to capsule it into a few words: Stop American scientists from doing what those Godless, criminal Russians did kill ing a poor innocent dog for no reason at all! Organized campaigns have begun in various sections. Pe titions have been or are going to be presented to legislators and other office-holders. This reporter, on his rounds of lab oratories, has seen a dozen or so letters which, after de nouncing scientists as "sad ists" and even "murderers" urged them to give up their "Communistic practices." The vociferous campaigns of anti-vivisectionists are con tinuous, and so have continu ous nuisance value inside science. But Laika has given them a new take-off point and this reporter knows of one science administrator who is worried lest the emotionally exploited ghost of that Rus sian dog eventually sets back American scientific progress. Ordinarily scientists public ly ignore these campaigns, thinking that notice of them, stimulates them. But the Laika-based campaign has now reached the point where the editors of the respected New England Journal of Med icine felt impelled to com ment on it. The campaign, they said, is being conducted "by those who, loving man kind less, have loved their animal companions more." Claim Inconsistent Their editorial found "a curious inconsistency in a compassion for certain petted animals only; " a compassion that can be extended neither to mankind nor to the lower creatures. It is as if the ca nine and the feline inhabi tants of the earth took pre cedence over all else. "For certainly out of the concern that is expressed by an ardent group of vociferous objectors over the tribulations of dogs and cats, little seems to overflow onto the rabbits, the mice, the guinea pigs, the hamsters, the sheep, the cam els, the asses, the lowing cat tle and the dumb oxen and all the fowls of the field and of the air that are sacrificed for the necessities and conven iences of mankind." SELF-SERVICE HOSPITAL London (IP) Lancet, the journal of Britain's medical profession, suggested today the "do-it-yourself" craze may spread to medicine in the form of "self service hostels." An editorial in the current is sue of Lancet proposed the establishment of hostels as opposed to hospitals where "suitable" patients can stay overnight for outpatient treat ment, and wards without nurs ing supervision where patients can look after themselves.
