The administrative agreement signed today lakes effect when the treaty of San Francisco finally is ratified. That will be when the sixth member of the Far Eastern commission signs the peace treaty.

The best guess for that date is March 31. The only article in the sup-plenmetary agreement which might have been considered controversial was that dealing with criminal jurisdiction over military personnel. Since the began the Japanese press has warned against the threat of extraterritoriality. "This agreement can in no sense of the word be construed as extraterritoriality," an American spokesman said. Building Almost On Site of Origin of Great Fire of 1852 Hazardous conditions in a North Walnut street apartment building about 100 yards from the point of origin of Chillicothe's "Great Fire" of 100 years ago must be cleaned up within 60 days.

This was the order of Judge Walter M. Shea in municipal court Wednesday afternoon when he fined Ralph Cline, owner of the building, $25 and costs, then suspended the fine provided the condition is remedied. Mr. Cline, who operates a sewing center and refrigeration ware, house and shop at 92 North Walnut street, pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to comply with a state fire marshal's order to clean out trash and rubbish in upstairs rooms. He entered this plea despite the fact that the notice, given Aug.

15, 1951, and the complaint served on him Feb. 20, 1952, both car. ried wrong addresses. The complaint was filed by H. Icenhower, deputy state fire marshal, who said that hazardous conditions in the building had rnot Deen remedied since a fire occurred there May 18, 1951.

Two Hurt at Fire On that date, two firlmen were injured fighting a blaze in a rub- bush littered storage be. hind a second floor apartment.

Suspension Suggested Mr. Simpson suggested a suspended sentence on condition that the fire hazard be removed. Robert Perdue, attorney for Mr, Cline, pointed out the error in address. He said that Mr.

Cline i has nothing to do with property North Walnut street which was the address on the notice and complaint. He does own the propetrty at 92-92V4 North Walnut street. Mr. Perdue said his client could have pleaded innocent and asked ithat the case be thrown out. I However, since they recognized a Q.t hadu, ing work and a third, who started two weeks before hearing of the notice was given, had been delayed by wiring changes.

Judge Shea said that becruse of the error in the address he would have had to dismiss the case had Mr. Cline pleaded not guilty. The penalty provided by law, he noted is $10 to $50 fine. He imposed a $25 fine and suspended it under the 60-day condition Fire Chief Loren M. Gant, in final re-inspection report on the property dated Feb.

Definite action is expected possibly in the next two or three weeks after a further exchange of views.

Tit-for-Tat planned action The would amount to a tit-for-tat retaliation for the Russian order of last month which in effect confines foreign diplomats to the Moscow area. In the United States the expected result is an order prohibiting Soviet Ambassador Alex- ander S. Panyuskin and members of his staff from traveling more Told to Watch For Sores WILMINGTON, Feb. 23. W) Farmers in Clinton county today were advised to see a physician immediately if any sore develops after handling their livestock.

Dr. Edward B. Headley, county health commissioner, issued the warning Twelve farms have been, quarantined in the county and 29 hogs have died from the disease, in the last few days, a check showed. The area where the disease was found included that just east of Wilmingjton where Wayne, Richmond, Green and Union townships come together. Another area where the dis ease has been found is near Midland, in Jefferson township, about 10 miles south of Wilmington.

Anthrax is one of the animal diseases which may be caught by humans. Town Which Took Rabies Shots Thinks It Has Polio Licked FROST, Feb. 28 MP) Seven months ago nearly 400 persons in this small Texas town took five rabies shots each in an experiment to determine whether this would prevent polio.

To Enforce Jap Laws "Under this agreement, our military police will make the arrests, but we will enforce Japanese law." But Article 17 of the agreement provides for substituting North Atlantic Treaty Organization criminal procedure provisions as soon as the NATO plan has been approved by the U. S. Senate.

Under the agreement signed in London, June 19, 1951, Japanese police would be able to arrest and prosecute American soldiers if a crime is committed outside a military station or when a soldier is not on military duty. worthwhile." Despite Dr. Hipps's caution, people in the Frost area are enthusiastic. Dr. A.

L. Grizzaffi, past president of the Navarro County Medical society, said many had told him they would be willing to take the rabies shots again. "We aren't certain what caused the down curve, but we like to believe last summer's experiment might be responsible," said Dr. Grizzaffi. Dr.

Hipps said his theory is based on similarity between ra- bies and polio, both of which he believes are virus infections which attack the nervous system. Stenson. The Rev. Edward B. Fischer and the Rev.

UP) American troops will remain in Japan indefinitely under terms of an agreement signed by the two countries today. And while the document doesn't say so, there was no doubt here that it is aimed at Russia's threat of invasion from the north. The executive treaty signed today does not have to be ratified by the United States Senate or the Japanese Diet. It is part of the security pact, already ratified by Japan and now up for ratification in Washington. It covers "conditions which shall govern" American forces in this country until the Japanese feel they are able to defend themselves.

Nowhere is there a mention 2,000 Food Handlers Get Chest X-rays More than 2.000 persons in Chillicothe and Ross county who are employed in food-handling establishments have been given X-ray tests to ascertain their fitness for such employment. This report was made Wednes-dya at a luncheon meeting of city-county boards of health members, at the Warner hotel dining room, by City Sanitarian Everett Miller and County Sanitarian Harold Boecher. This X-ray work will be completed on Friday, and from then on X-rays will be taken currently as new people enter employment in food-handling establishments. Immunization Planned It was also reported that during March, first-year school children in the city will be given diphtheria immunization treatment on the basis of consent slips from parents. This work was completed in the county last November.

Most schools were, reported as "about back to normal" after a siege of influenza and scarlet fever in both the city and county. Measles and mumps also made a large dent in normal attendance, but these are now tapering off. Applications Received It was reported that applications are still being received and studied from physicians wishing to succeed the late Dr. R. E.

Bower as Ross county commissioner. The committee handling this detail includes Dr. Loy E. Hoyt and Seney West of the county board and Dr. Walter Breth and Ralph Smith of the city board.

Clinton county anthrax situation? since last Monday, when it came to a quick head in slate agricultural quarters, said Thursday that every precaution is taken here at all times to certify the good health of animals passing through the local market and that extra precautions in such cases as they now exist will be taken. Shipment Barred Movements of swine both in and out of the Clinton area is now prohibited. Ordinarily animals from these sections are routed through markets in Cincinnati and Hillsboro. "Ross county dealers very largely raise their own livestock, so there is no cause for alarm said Mr. Mattinson.

To date, according to local veterinarians, there is no hint of contagion or questionable illness among Ross county livestock herds. 4 Farms Quarantined In the Clinton county area, findings indicate that the situation is worse than first suspected. Eleven farms are already quarantined against anthrax, with a report of suspected t-ases in Highland county that adjoins. Clinton county farmers will meet Friday night at Wilmington to hear what they can do to halt the spread of anthrax, which can be spread to human beings through personal contact. Robert McCormick, Clinton county agent, asked all farmers in the county to attend the meeting in the Clinton county courthouse.

Representatives of the Division of Animal Husbandry of the State Agriculture department are expected to attend the meeting, the Associated Press reported. Most of the known cases of the disease thus far have been reported on farms east of Wilmington but late yesterday there was a report hogs on a farm near the Clinton-Highland county line also may be affected. Dr. Thomas South, a New Vienna veterinarian, reported a number of hogs had died on the farm and he feared the cause was anthrax. Dr.

Harry E. Goldstein, a field investigator for the Division of Animal Husbandry, went to the scene for an investigation. No livestock may be shipped to or from quarantined farms without permission of state authorities. There are aDpTOTimately 20,000 hogs in the area being checked by State Agriculture department authorities under the direction of Dr. H.

G. Geyer, head of the Division of Animal Husbandry. 1111 A the Frost area. No Claims Made Reporting this today, doctors who made the experiment were careful not to claim the experiment had yet proved anything. Dr.

Herbert E. Hipps of Waco first advanced the idea, saying only that "people who have received rabies shots generally don't have polio." Dr. Hipps said: "We'll have more definite information on its success after about months. By September we should know if our tests helped. Frost has a history which usually results in polio eases during August and September.

If none occurs this year we can be the policy of reciprocity the U. S. already has clamped down on the travel by representatives of communist Hungary and Rumania. W.thout prior authorization the Hungarians may not go more than 18 miles from downtown Washington. Rumanian officials are limited to a 35-mile circle.

Poles, Czechs Unrestricted Officials of Poland and Czecho Slovakia may still go where they please. What to do about the Russian order has been under study in the administration for weeks. The State department acknowledged Jan. 22 that possible retaliation was under "active consideration" with the Defense department and other agencies. Officials said joint action by all the western nations affected was viewed as more effective than any measure by this country alnne.

The order in general prohibited foreigners from travelling more than 40 milometers (25 miles) from Mjscow and even within this circle some areas were placed off limits. GRASS FIEE QrELLED No. 1 fire company a.uelled a small grass blaze at 2:27 p. m. Wednesday on N.
