I J Z 408 Vol. 40, No. 112 Swine disease research in animal pathology is department's big work 1 Mi ft r t i L. Van animal at ag, Pictured above is Dr. Es, chairman of the pathology department By Randall Pratt. "The research work on swine erysipelas has proven to be the most fruitful work done at this station in recent years," stated Dr. Van Es, noted scientist and head of the animal pathology depart ment. Nearly five years ago, in outlin ing a project to study certain phases of the disease, Dr. Van Es commented, "There is some doubt as to whether or not swine erysip elas is permanently established in this country. For that, reason, the U. S. department of agriculture has discouraged the use of viru lent cultures, in the process of im munization." No temporary menace. Prior to December, 1939, the U. S. department of agriculture had already begun to lose hope that the disease might only be tempo rarily in this country. There had been a more or less popular de mand for virulent cultures in this country to aid in controlling the disease; and the U. S. bureau of animal industry had indicated its desire to participate in field trials of the serum-culture method cLl or at oculation, which had been success fully practiced in Europe for least 40 years. Altho this method of treatment had been used in Europe, it had not been tested out in, the United States up to the time Dr. Van Ea and his associates began their ex periments. Extensive study.

Not until the. opposing groups had argued more than 40 minutes over the allotted hour for discus sion was Dr. Glen W. Gray, pre siding, able to bring the debate to a close and get a vote from those who had not already left for din ner. The vote stood 11 for, 11 against, and 6 undecided. Words flew thickly thruout the afternoon, especially when the dis cussion at the table shifted to tho audience; wit and sarcasm kept the audience In an enthused and belligerent attitude.

Begins suddenly. Observations on Nebraska farms showed that outbreaks nearly al ways began with a sudden onset. Some animals would be found dead unexpectedly while others would succumb in a few days, months, or even longer. The sudden appear ance and frequent outbreaks of the malady in this country has made the disease nearly as formidable as it is on the continent of Europe. In spite of the fact that means of artificial immunization has been developed to prevent erysipelas, little or nothing has been contrib- (See RESEARCH, page 7) American painter, muralist speaks at Union 1 Thomas Benton, one of Amer- ica's foremost muralists and paint ers, will speak on "American Art," today at 3 p. m. in the Union ball room.

Benton is a third generation Misosurian, and is a grand nephew Currin Schields, and Lowell John son, and those opposing were Rolf Ordal, James Olson, and Charles Oldfather. Gray outlines problems. Opening the discussion Dr. Gray outlined the problems facing the peoples of Europe and to minimize quibbling over facts, listed six things which he declared authority would verify. Neither side chal lenged his foundation. First, America has adopted a policy of aiding Britain. Anything that would help England's enemies In the war, therefore, would be in consistent. Second, the peoples of Europe are not getting enough to eat and In places are actually dying of starvation. Third, both Germany and Eng land could alleviate the food shortage, Germany by shipping in Students OUnday, March dU, 1 y4 1 1 Nation needs engineers to aid defense Civil service executive writes of great need to engineering dean "To speed up national defense, engineers are needed for positions in the federal service," VV.

Fourth, England Is not responsi ble for the shortage, for western Europe is 85 percent self suffici ent. Fifth, England rightly or wrong ly believes that the admittance of food would soften the effect of her blockade. Sixth, humanity and Christian ity demand that the peoples be fed. Tempest breaks. After a few preliminary thrusts by Johnson, which were "countered by Oldfather, the tempest broke over the question of whether th-j plan would or would not aid Ger many, Olson again and again demand ed an answer for his question, "Why would Germany agree to something, not in her interest.

"You can tell your readers thai I have gone a long way from be ing a sporting editor." Those were the parting words of Clifton M. Utley, international expert on for eign affairs, who spoke at a uni versity convocation Friday. When he was sports editor of the Daily Maroon, college newspaper of the University of Chicago, of which he is a graduate, Utley de cided to find out and publish his findings on "How far three stu dents can go on one pint of gin." Even the progressive pedagogues of the University of Chicago threw up their hands in horror and, with out further ado, kicked him out. Of his career as a sports editor, Mr. Utley says, "I thought seeing that the sports stories were well handled was of much greater im portance than my class in for eign affairs and consequently I fear my school work was ne glected." Hell for England. "This year is going to be hell if It Is in her interest, Is it wise for the allies." Shifting for a moment to eco nomics and the value of German fiat money, the discussion brought pointed remarks from Clifton Ut ley, convocation speaker, who had entered the room. After both sides had banged their heads Into a wall on this question, they gladly dropped it and turned to the dis cussion of German faith in carry ing out her guarantees. Grain to Belgium. Lowell Johnson, vice chairman of the relief committee on the campus explained that Germany was to ship 1,000,000 bushels of grain into Belgium, and was to give relief workers a free hand, if the plan was to be carried out. These provisions she has already affirmed, Shields added, by the shipment of 800,000 bushels into Belgium already and preparation for shipment of 3,000,000 more. is very strong, the first cast will have to keep work.ig to hold tha parts," he said.

He attributes this to the fact that the full force of our aid cannot be felt right away. He states with vehemence, however, that no expeditionary force is needed to be sent to England be cause there is no occasion for it. "Contrary to public opinion, said Mr. Utley, "propoganda is the very essence of democracy for it is an attempt to secure belief and action. Therefore, if we do not have it, nobody believes or does (See UTLEY, page 7) Wednesday is deadline for Council applications Any organization on the campus which feels that it is eligible for representation on the newly formed Senior Coun cil should send an application to John McDermott, senior class president, in care of the DAILY NEBRASKAN before Wednesday. When a pro-Hoover speaker then suggested that the plan be tried at least until Germany shows lack of faith, Ordal sarcastically cried, "until Germany shows her lack of faith" and appealed that the plan would certainly benefit the German war machine. His sar casm kept the audience in an up roar more than once during the afternoon with such remarks as "Germany isn't stealing when she buys goods with fiat money." And when Professor Sellers de clared he had been thru Ger many after the last war and hadn't seen an undernourished child, Old father enjoined "they were all in bed." Dr. Gray was chosen to preside because of his knowledge of the question, and tho in the anti-Hoover camp, creditably kept in the center of the road to the satisfac tion of both sides. Coffee and sandwiches were served during the discussion by the Union. t i
