Because someone’s ancestry was Lat-
in American he’d iiave to carry with
him constantly some assurance of
citizenship, like a government dog
tag or a tatoo. Birth certificates
weren’t issued in our area befoio
1913, and later, so many would be
hard put to prove citizenship.
You can see that “harboring” with-
out any definition, would be grossly
disci iminatory and highly inequita-
ble. However, we were fortunate
in being able to convince the com-
mittee to accept an amendment, stat-
ing that employment and those
things incident to employment would
not constitute harboring. So that
was one objection removed.
Real Search Warrant
But there was another. The first
bill said immigration men could
search your property with an “ad-
ministrative” search warrant. A
superior in the immigration service
could issue this gimmick. They
could issue them by the truckloads.
Administrative search warrants are
so much eyewash and are no protec-
tion against harrassment.
Here again, we went to bat for
search warrants issued by recogniz-
ed courts, before anyone could search
property. The committee reversed

Anthrax is a sport-forming disease-
that can be transmitted to practically
all animal life, including man, and
it should be under
direction of a qualified veterinarian.
This advice was given Saturday by
the Dallas County Veterinary Socie-
ty after the Dallas News reported
the appearance of the dead animal
on the Eugene B. Smith ranch near
Mesquite. The ranch now is under
quarantine by the Texas Livestock
Sanitary Commission.
Speaking for the society, Dr. It. E.
Staines of Dallas, president, said.
“There have been only a dozen
deaths from anthrax in animal nerds
around Dallas and we do not regard
the deaths on the Smith ranch as an
“outbreak” but as an incidence. Bui,
mortality of animals sick with an-
thrax is high. Therefore, we sug-
gest that a licensed veterinarian be
called to make a diagnosis and that
that diagnosis be confirmed by a
competent laboratory.”
A statement prepared by society
members said in part: “Anthrax
can be transmitted by infected soil,
by the eating of contaminated food
material, by biting insect.-, and by
round infection.
“It's symptoms n:r; Sudden death,
blood foam from • the nostrils,
blood seepage from the rectal and
gential openings of the ■ rimal. (This
occurs only after death animals

degrees upward, congested membrane,

breathing and complete collapse be-
