Dear Mrs. Stevens:

I am delighted to learn that S. 3570, for the humane treatment of laboratory animals has been introduced. Due to the lateness of the introduction, and the many things on the minds of the senators this year, I am wondering if it has a very good chance of passage during this session, but I sincerely do hope so.

Will you please send me about eighty of the leaflets and the letters pertaining to this bill? As I am asking for so many I am inclosing a small check to help toward the expense of printing.

Would you approve of a movement on the part of humanitarians to prevent Adlai Stevenson from being drafted as a presidential candidate because of his attendance at bullfights on his South American tour? Although I deplore his unseemly derogatory remarks about President Eisenhower, I believe he is a very intelligent man, but I think we might have a more humanely inclined person in the highest office of the country.

Sincerely yours, Ruth G. Fisher Ruth G. Fisher

Dear Friends:

I received your pamphlet and letter on Bill S3570. I am very much interested in the bill and that it be passed. I have already taken some action on it and hope to do much more.

This may not be possible but if you can send me 400 of the pamphlets and letters, each, I will mail some of them to humane people and will distribute the rest to organizations and some of our clergy. I will also mail some to interested people in some of our surrounding counties to help spread knowledge of the bill.

I plan to send a letter to the Editor of the Dayton, O. newspaper and to our local paper, probably to some other papers in our neighborhood. The trouble with this is that the article is often changed that it loses it's meaning but I will try.

I am encliosing a check for a small donation. Thank you.

Sincerely ? Elizabeth Schwieterman

P.S. Some of the clubs, I wish to contact, will not meet for about a month. Will it be to late? I hope not.

Miss Christine Stevens, New York, N.Y.;

Dear Miss Stevens,

I am grateful for your sending out letters to the persons whose names I gave you.

I did indeed write to all eleven Senators on the list; also to our Washington State Senators, and am enclosing [Hon.?] Warren G. Magnuson's encouraging reply.

My animal-loving friend, Mrs. Claude [H.?] Brewer, of Covina, California says she, too, will

write to all these Senators.

Also, I have just sent the reprint of Bill S.3570 to our Tacoma Daily, the Tacoma News Tribune, asking them to use it as an editorial. When they do this, I shall certainly send you a copy.

As a Christian who well knows that without our Lord "we can do nothing," I am with other believers praying [underlined] that the God of the humanely impossible will undertake for His needy, helpless creatures.

Sincerely yours, [Anna?] H. Heine.
