River Jammed With `Dead Horses 11, In Syria, the Rupbrates River was jammed with dead horses. la Turkey, farmers begged goV- eremene officials not to shoot their sick horses. "Shoot roy child instead,' one cried, "I can get another easier than I can get another horse." All through the Middle Bast last summer, from Turkey to India, 4,000 miles to the •east, an estimated 500,000 horses died from the quick-killing plague known as "African horse sick- ness." The disease is carried by the ordinary gnat (culicoldes). at this time of year emerging from their breeding grounds in stagnant water, ready to fly again. Though the disease has long existed in Africa, the sud- denness and deadliness with which it spreads has Western veterinarians and the U.S, De- partment of Agriculture worried. First of all, they noted, the African horse sickness has al- ready damaged the economies of Pakistan, Lebanon, and other Middle Eastern countries that the U.S. has spent millions to build up. Secondly, they warn- ed, the disease easily could be carried to America whev.e al- most 3 million horses still work on farms. Two U.S. veterinary experts, Dr. Weis Konnerup of the De- partment of Agricylture's eco- nomic research service, and Col. Fred D. Maurer, chief of the • veterinary pathology division at Walter Reed. Army Medical Cen- ter in Washington, D.C., who had just returned from a tour of the affected countries, recommended that the U.S. take the leadership in fighting the disease. "The International Cooperation Administration, which has vast livestock programs overseas, is operating under archaic con- cepts," said Konnerup. "It doesn't realize animal disease are no longer confinable. "The tragedy is," Konnerup noted, "that we have a vaccine." But the vaccine plants in the Middle East, he added, do pct. produce for export unless the orders a r e accompanied b y pounds or dollars. While The ICA has set asi,dt $150,060 to buy vaccine for the plagued lands, American Veter- inary Medical Association offi- cials say $5 million is really needed. "After all," said an AVMA official, "the first line of de- - tense is where the disease is rampant. That would be better than waiting for it to reach our shores." 511.04: A Tear For- The. Old ,Cream, .J.vg • Once again June is National Dairy. Month, and anYtaillg we say will be appreciated by the National Dairy Couneti which. has provided fact-she ets. Fur our editorial convenience, This ex- plains haw., of course, the inat- tentive and disinterested editors across the country suddenly chance upon a concert of trudite editorials which. move the mas- ses in the direction of greater mills const!mption. It iv't just coinc'ide'nce, In perusing the statiotics, notice that while America is de- livered its daily bottle, never- theless umpteen odd quarts of milk never mm e into the market at all, but are con- sumer( on the farm. Be,-;ides be- ing the benefactor of menkind, • the dairy farmer looks out for himself, The high commercial purposes of National D a y Month thus dwindle, for net only do we have the eager customers along the apartment ha'lways, but we have the prudent dairy farmer who never has, to pay a milk bill. He, too, is a consumer. There is more to this stPtistical situation. The milk business, as it annually does more and more for the off-fnrm customer, is doing less and less for its own people. The reason is that as our society pursues its course, fewer and fewer farmers keep fewer - and, fewers cows, although milk production and consumption core tinue to rise. This is because of the increasing efficiency of the dairy-cow, and the limit is not yet in sight. It is also because of improved methods, mechanical aids, better knowledge of nutri- ments, and many another "fac- tor" the city customer need not know about. There is also the tendency' to consolidate, making one big business where there used to be 10 little ones. In short, although all this milk is retained on the farm for home use, each successive June sees fewer and fewer farm families to enjoy it, So while we cheer at Nation- al Dairy Month, we can also shed a symbolic tear for the passing of the old cream jug - the farm cream jug as distin- guished from the paper carton that graces the apartment break- fast nook, And this Is extremely important. A friend of mine who runs a - milk route in a nearby town was approached a few sum- mers back by, a rusticating neighbor who wanted some cream.. The gentleman Had a valid -desire and a legitimate complaint. It seems he had forsworn his eity ways, and after a rat-race life had closed. his skyscraper office and had retired to the, scenes of his boyhood. Bright, were the suns that gleamed for him of yore, and• now he was. back again to pick up where he left off. He had sold his place on Long Island and had bought Another on the west side of Hedgehog-Hill where the sunsets Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking together, five nations turned Marcello down, France, where his parents had once resided briefly, declined. So did Tunisia, when the U,S, offered in proof a docu- ment that reported that Marcel- l() was born Calogero Minacorl, the son of Giuseppe and Luisa, in Carthage. However, since Marcello's par- ents themselves had claimed Ital- ian nationality, the Italian Gov- ernment finally agreed to har- bor him. But Marcello's attorneys brought suit in an Italian court, asking that he be declared a non- Italian; the action, which is still pending, blocked his deportation to Italy. There things stood -Marcello living happily in New Orleans - until this year. Then somebody came forward - "a foreign in- formant," the U.S. says - with a. record that showed a son named Calogers was born on Feb. 8, 1910, in Guatemala, to Giuseppe Minacore (with an "e," not an "1,") That was when things be- gan to move, One day in April, when Mar- cello stopped in at the Immigra- tion Service office in New Or- leans for a resident alien's regu- lar check, border patrolmen took him into custody, hustled him in- to a car without so much as a toothbrush, drove him to the air- port 'and bundled him onto a plane for Guatemala. U.S. offi- cials breathed a sigh of relief. They were rid of Marcello at last - they thought But now Marcello is back in the U.S. How he got in and where he came from neither he nor his at- torneys were saying. Marcello simply :turned up at the Immi- gration Service office in Shreve- port and reported that in Guate- mala he hadn't been.welcomed at all. Instead, he said, he had been spirited away to El Salvador, thence across another border, and had eventually made his way back to his favorite state, Louisi- ana. Wearily, immigration officials ordered him to the alien intern- ment center at McAllen, Texas, to await further hearings. A re- porter asked him where he real- ly came from. Marcell°, in a soft, bemused voice, said: "I don't know myself," In the use of tears A woman is wise, She can cut a Mimi Right down to_ her sighs.

Ire said to my friend, "Don't you have any cream any snore?" My friend said he did, indeed, have cream, and, reached for a bottle off the truck, "No,' the man said, "I don't *leap, 'that stuff. I can. get that stuff in any delicatessen on BfOadway4. Mean real cream such as My grandmother put on my' Indian pudding and my mother put on my porridge, I mean cream that has character, strength and fla- vor. Cream." My friend replied, "Yes, I do have such cream, I have it at home on the table, and we use It with a free anti lavish hand, It. Is just the kind of cream you are talking about. But I can't sell it to you, and I'd want to look up the law before I even offer you some as a gift, In Ink opinion, off-hand, I think you are doom- ed to a consumer's life of abstin- ence in this respect." The man said, "I would like to have some cream that was put in a wide tin pan on the cellar floor, where it, is cool and con- genial. After it has been there two-three days, coagulating its beneficence into magnificence, I would like to have the cream skum off the skim-milk into a brown bowl with a yellow stripe around the edge, and I would like to have that bowl l-rought to me so I could put it on my table and do what I wanted to with it," My friend said, "I know what you mean. You want a bowl of activated lactic bacteria which exceeds the legal limit by about four hundred and seventy-seven million, and I am restrained from such commerce by the Milk Con- trol Board, the Market Admini- strator, the Board of Health, and the Department of Public Wel- fare. It is against the law to traffic in the 'commodity you have just described so delight- fully." The man said, "Alas!" or words to that effect. "I tell you what you can do," my friend said. "If you want to come out to the farm and have dinner with us, I can set a bowl' of cream like that on the table, and you can dip into it..We have cream like that. We have it all ' the time. I put a pan or two down cellar every night. Just for us. But for customers, I have to be careful, and every move I make is regulated down to the last notch, and if I put cream like that in my truck they'd throw the book at me: When can you come for dinner?"' "This evening," the man said. And he went.
