LEND-LEASE AID T0-BE SWELLED
New $6,000,000,000 Fund To Be Requested When Roosevelt Returns.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (U.P). — The Administration’s second lendlease program, calling for appropriation of approximately $6,000,000.000. will be submitted to Congress shortly after President Roosevelt returns
today. The new funds will be sought even though less than $6,000,000,000 of the original $7.000,000,000 lendlease appropriation has been allocated to Federal agencies which contract for war-aid supplies. Officials said that a substantial amount of the new funds would be allocated to the purchase of food supplies. Warplanes, mostly heavy and medium bombers, and ordnance, primarily ammunition and artillery, will require most of the remainder. Approximately $5500,000,000 of the original lend-lease funds had been | allocated up to July 23—almost four | months after the President signed] the first war-aid appropriation bill. This compared with $4.277412879 allocated through May 31. Slightly moregthan $200.000,000 of lend-lease supp ies have been delivered to Britain and China. In the first two months, the deliveries totaled $75,200,000. In addition, an
undisclosed amount of lend-lease funds has been expended for the repair of British warships and merchant vessels yards. Officials said that unless there are last-minute changes in plans, no new lend-lease funds will be sought for merchant ships or tanks. The new lend-lease agricultural requirements, it was understood, may run as high as $2,000.000.000. The original measure provided $1,350,000,000 for “agricultural, industrial and other commodities and articles.” Officials said that while the Soviet Union has not asked for lend-lease aid to date there is a possibility that such assistance, particularly foodstuffs, may be requested and given later.
U.S. TO TRAIN PILOTS FOR SOUTH AMERICA
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (U. P). —A plan for replacement of all German pilots on South and Central American airlines by Latin Americans trained in this country is being formulated by Government officials, it was disclosed today. ° Officials consider employment of the German airmen a potential menace to the Panama Canal and a major drawback to co-operative plans for hemispheric defense. A number of American republics already have ousted German pilots. The $1,500,000 training program, to be started in December, is being drafted by the War and State Departments, the Civil Aeronautics Authority and the Office of InterAmerican Relations. The program's extent has not been decided, but it now contemplates training 564 pilots and technicians over a one-year period. The trainees will include 304 pilots, 120 mechanics, 120 “instruector mechanics” and 20 aeronautical engineers.

More Time to Inspect Food
By EARL HOFF
The nation’s soldiers have a tastier menu than ever before in the history of the Army because of mechanization, Lieut. Col. Fred C. Waters of the Chicago Quartermaster Depot told a special food hygiene session of the American Veterinary Medical Association here today. Because of the reduction of the number of horses and mules in the Army, one of the chief duties of
the Veterinary Corps has become the inspection of food products, assuring the Army a. better menu.
The 78th annual convention of M. A is being held in the Murat Temple. It will close
Friday.
Col. Waters predicted the gradu-

He said that added calcium, together with the vitamins which have proved essential to assimilation, is of great importance in regulating efficient reproduction in thoroughbreds. Col. Edward N. Wentworth, director of Armour Co. Livestock Bureau in Chicago, said that meat inspection, which is a form of preventative medicine, must be charged to the cost of public health and balanced against the cost of community nurses, doctors allied with charitable institutions and public hospitals. Dr. C. Harvey Smith of Crown Point, Ind, suggested diagnosis as a strong weapon to remedy the intermediate degree of parasitic infections which work secret damage to cattle.
Too Many Market Centers
Dr. R. C. Ashby of the University lof Illinois said that ignorance of |the public about quality in meats, | excessive marketing centers and |greater centralization of the meat | packing industry are factors complicating the marketing of slaughter livestock. “Livestock producers are ‘maintaining at least three times as many markets as are needed to sell their slaughter livestock,” he said. Dr. H. Van Roekel of the Massachusetts State College in a paper prepared by himsglf and Dr. K. L. Bullis and Miriam K. Clarke said that the method of transmission of sleeping sickness of chickens, long of concern to poultry men, may be through the eggs of infected hens. | Dr, J. Holmes Martin, chief of the | Purdue University Poultry Department, urged veterinarians to give more attention to the problems of poultry raisers.
Conquer Mystery Maladies
He attacked the instances of sending sick birds to central laboratories for diagnosis because of the danger of the spread of infection. An effective cure for chronic bovine mastitis, a disease affecting the production of dairy herds and once thought incurable, was outlined by Dr. O. W. Schalm of the University of California, yesterday. He also reported considerable advance in the eradication of “Bang's disease.” Dr. G. A. Roberts, director of ani-

Mules Needed in War
Col. R. A. Kelser, General's Office in Washington, yesterday told the convention that Hitler's mechanized blitz methods of warfare require more horses and mules than were used by the entire Allied forces in the last war. “The great emphasis which has universally been placed on the blitz character of the Nazi warfare has naturally led many to believe that the horse and mule have been completely eliminated,” he said. “This is far from true. In his Poland campaign, Hitler used about 200,000 animals and when he invaded Belgium and France it is reported that approximately 790,000 horses and mules served. with his legions.” He said that “aside from food producing animals, we have approximately 11,000,000 horses and 4,000,000 mules which are important factors in spite of the gasoline age.”
Back Food Production
The veterinarians, in a wire sent to Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard, yesterday pledged their aid in a request made by President Roosevelt for greater food production in the U. S. “Members of the American Veterinary Medical Association in convention here this week have heard President Roosevelt's message asking for greater production in vital food stuffs for the United States,” the wire sent by Dr. John G. Hardenbergh of Chicago said. “The American veterinary profession, guardians of public health and protectors of the health of the nation's food animals, poultry flocks and dairy herds, wish to extend their most sincere co-operation in this important and necessary project.” The President's request was made publie yesterday by Secretary Wickard.

Mrs. Smith's envy of the dog Mrs. Jones owns has helped build a business in surgery for veterinarians, according to Dr. J. C. Flynn of Kansas City.
Regarded as the dean of small animal veterinarians, Dr. Flynn said that plastic surgery hag ge vanced to a point where it change just about everything oe a dog but its ancestry. Dr. Flynn is attending the annual convention of the American Veterinary Medical Association now in progress at the Murat Temple. Some women, he said, are very envious of their neighbors and complain if their unpedigreed mutt isn’t as classy as a neighbor's blooded animal. Plastic surgery is the answer. The veterinarian can make a dog's ears stand up or droop becomingly, regiment an unruly tail, remedy the belligerent thrust of a too-under-slung jaw and fill in humps or hollows in the body. On the more serious side, Dr. Flynn said that plastic surgery often saves beloved pets who have
Plastic Surgery Aid to Pets, Dr. Flynn Tells Veterinarians
been badly torn up in automobile accidents, He recalled operations in which it seemed nothing could save badly mangled pets. One was where he saved a dog whose jawbone had been smashed in a number of places and the dog's lower jaw hung down on his chest. The wealth of an owner or the value of a dog has nothing to do with animals who are brought to him for help, Dr. Flynn said. “A Negro janitor will spend his last dime on his pet, while a millionaire sometimes refuses to spend $5,” he said. Do dogs know that a veterinarian
is trying to help them? Dr. Flynn said they do. | He recalled three dogs he had | helped who came scratching at the | door when they were again in need | of medical aid. One, a Red Cross dog in the last World War, used to prowl the streets of Kansas City looking for other animals who had been hurt and bring them to the doctor's office. The dog never forgot his mercy training.
