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.
Portland 0?) Dr. George
Y. Harry Jr., director of re
search for the Oregon Fish
Commission,, has been desig
nated acting director of state
fisheries.

Swift project, scheduled
