Last week, Columnist-Crusader Albert Deutsch of the New York Post raised a hue & cry against the dangers of DDT, with a series of articles called "DDT and You." Deutsch based his original assertions on research by Manhattan's Dr. Morton Biskind, printed in The American Journal of Digestive Diseases. Deutsch contended that the mysterious ailment called virus X, which rose to epidemic proportions in Los Angeles about two years ago, has the same symptoms as DDT poisoning and may be traced to indiscriminate use of the chemical.

Asked Deutsch: "Then you don't advocate anti-vivisection?" Replied Dr. Prinzmetal: "On the contrary . . . medical research would be crippled without judicious use of animal experimentation...
...Prinzmetal's request, Deutsch did not use the story then. But when Deutsch heard that a man who supplied dogs to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine had been arrested for cruelty to animals, he decided that Hearst's campaign was "no longer just a nuisance. It was a real problem to medical research." Wrote Deutsch: "The medical scientists prefer to experiment on animals . . . The anti-vivisectionists apparently prefer human babies to dogs as experimental objects." In California, Dr. Prinzmetal continued his animal experiments, and his visits to anti-vivisection's high priest...
