WASHINGTON. June 15 — (AP) —R»cprescntative Clarence Cannon (Dem-Mom said today American military authorities hglleve Japan possibly may surrender within 00

Gives Expert

And Bog Distemper

That neither rats. rabbits nor cats can contract distemper and, consequently. are not sources of in- fection for the disease in dogs or foxes, was one of the facts brought out last night by Dr. Robert G. Green. professor of bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin. when- speaklng in the City court room before a representative audience

fox breeders. He was intro- duced by Col. D. A. MaoKinnorl.

Distemper involves but three families of the animal kingdom.

dog. weasel. and raccoon fam- ilies. Foxes. coyotes. and wolves, 1 being of the dog family. are subject to the disease. In the raccoon family. the ring-tailed ca:

ible. as are the ferret. mink. otter. skunk, and badger in the weasel! rn l’

As the Vlrillence of the diseasei increases in one family. it will lessen in that of another should it be transferred. Dr. Green saidq He illustrated the statement by saying that if the disease broke out among a ferret or weasel col- ony. it would increase in virulence as one animal contracted it from another. If it were transferred to amernbcr of the dog family at that stage when practically all infected were

upon the dog or fox. or other mem- ber of the dog family, would be very slight.

Dr. Green informed the meet- ing that the distemper virus works in __ 11w: _body cells." He

Exercises

Nine young ladies, completing satisfactorily the course of studies prescribed or grade ten. and a similar number who attained sat- isfactory proficiency in the business course. were presented with dip- lomas last night ~His Excellency Bishop James Boys at graduation exercises at Notre Dame Academy.

The first revelation that Prime Minister Churchill. President Tru- man and Marshal Stalin would meet in Berlin came in an exchange of letters between Mr. Churchill and Labor Party Leader, Clement Alttlee. The White House in Wash- ington later confirmed that the meeting would take place in the vicinity of Berlin. The White House press secretary Charles G. Ross. who made the anncuncqnent. said he could not give out anything, on the date of the meeting. l

Mr. Attlee. in accepting Mr. Churchill's offer to attend the con- ference as a “friend and counsellor" let out the secret of the parley site by using the phrase "prospective conference in Berlin" in his letter to the Prime Minister. while the date of the meeting remained a secret. Mr. Churchill stated yester- day that it would be before July Z6. -
