TEN NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1948 Newcastle Disease Rare in Oregon Poultry but Precautionary Rules Guarcf Against Possible Epidemic Only one case (and that not In Douglas County) of Newcastle disease has been found in turkeys so far In Oregon, according to information furnished the News-Review by the Oregon State De partment of Agriculture. Since the first case In this state was diagnosed In April 1947, a total of 17 cases have been found in poultry flocks. Although incidence of the dis ease in this state thus far should not be considered alarming, the State Department of Agriculture and the State College veterinar ians, as well as poultrymen, are exerting every precaution to kpop the situation here under control. There appears to he no general Incidence of the disease in the flocks of this state at this time. As the State Department of Agriculture is the regulatory ag ency charged by law with the control of infectious disease In livestock and poultry, M. E. Knickerbocker, chief of the di vision of animal Industrv of that department, has provided the News-Review with an account of the program which has been and THURSDAY, 8:30 P. M.

Stephens ill is being carried on In Oregon to control Newcastle disease. He poinu out that Section 32 101, O. C. L. A., requires the department to exercise general sanitary supervision over the live stock, fur-bearing animals and poultry of the state and "to take all measures necessary and prop er in the Judgment of the depart ment to eradicate and prevent the spread of infectious, contage ous and communicable diseases. . .'. and to prevent the entry In'o this state of animals or materials liable to convey disease to the livestock or poultry In this Hate Prompt Aotlon Taktn With appearance of Newcastle disease in Oregon, the depart ment sought the advice and coun sel of members of three poultry groups vitally concerned, a dis ease committee of the Oregon Poultry Council and the advisory committees of the Oregon Turkey and Poultry Improvement Asso ciations. Exist ing regulations were worked out in conference with such industry representa tives. At the outset of the control program, and In the Initial cases of Newcastle disease, the diseased birds were ordered slaughtered and owners were paid Indemnity. Available funds for Identifica tion were exhausted this year and it became necessary for the de partment to resort to the use of quarantine measures. The plan adopted and now In effect Is the quarantine of all birds Infected with Newcastle. Under the quarantine, birds are released onlv for slaughter pur poses and complete disinfection of premises must be carried out before restocking can be done. It is important, Knickerbocker emphasizes, that poultrymen throughout the state understand the nature of the disease and that they take three or four of any birds showing suspicious symp toms direct to the Poultry Disease Laboratory on the Oregon State College campus at Corvallls. Birds should be taken to the lab oratory rather than shipped, as the disease may be spread, to other birds indirectly through shipping, especially if common carriers are utilized. Newcastle is an acute cnntage ous respiratory disease which re sults in a very sharp drop In egg production In the cane of hens in lav. Egg shells may be soft or deformed. While the re spiratory symptoms are usually the first warning, in younger chicks nervous symptoms of pa ralysis, incoordination or tremor may develop. In the younger birds these nervous symptoms may follow from 10 to 14 days after the respiratory symptoms have apparently cleared im. veter inarians point oui. ine mortality in young brooder chicks averages from 20 to 25 per cent, oung stock on range ana mature nirns usually do not snow such nigh mortality.

'-W A former research director for the congressional Dies committee predicted at a legislative hearing yesteraay tnai war witn Russia ''is inevitable." ' The witness before the state legislatures' un-American Activi ties Committee was J. B. Mat thews of Ne York City, who served for the Dies committee from 1938 to 1945. He said he now Is a writer and lecturer. Matthews asserted Joseph Sta lin himself had said war between Communism and other powers would be Inevitable. "I am not here to say whether It might come next year or In the next decade," the witness continued. In referring to the likelihood of war, he declared that the con sequences for American Com munists should be viewed "on that basis." and "their position would be the same as those young Nazis who landed In the United States during the war and went to the electric chair." Tsaohsrs Inoludsd Matthew was on the stand for the second day In the commit tee's hearing into alleged Com munistic affiliations of Univer sity of Washington faculty mem bers. The session was quiet in con trast to yesterday afternoon's in terruptions by chanting and shouting picket-line outside the Washington State Armory.

This is especially time where purchases are made from outside Oregon. As a further precautionary measure the department has, since April 20 of this year, re- ?ulred that poultry, except un ed chicks and poults, imported Into Oregon be accompanied not only by an official health certlfl cate but also by certification showing the poultry has no symp toms of Newcastle disease and, further, that the birds have pass ed an official H. I. or S. N. test for Newcastle within 15 davs before entry Into Oregon. The Newcastle-free certificate must snow tne aate and place of test ing and the labortary where the test va maoe. Show Entries t. b Evad Knickerbocker says common carriers of the state, and particu larly the Railway Express Agen cy, have been very cooperative with state officials In watching tnai tne cenuication requirement on Imported poultry is carried out on all shlDments. He adds that Newcastle detected In Oregon has originated in Imported poultry. Serious consideration has been given, according Knickerbocker to me question oi banning poultry snows in tne stale. However, since all known cases of New castle have been quarantined or the birds destroyed, no such ac tion is to be taken at this time except In the case of any sudden and widespread outbreak. All live poultry shows Includ ing county fairs will he required to have a veterinarian on hand to examine birds offered for ex hibit for svmnloms of anv dis ease and entry will be refunded to any exhibits showing active symptoms of disease of any kind. The veterinarian will also require that anv birds arriving at shows from other states will have com piled with the requirements for Interstate shipment.

Jseksen Phan 8T-A and Communist-front organiza tions for students played Import ant roles In a Russian-directed Communist program in the Unit ed States. He declared "Communists have a fanatical determination to in sert the party's dogmas into all subjects In schools where Com munists have been able to pene trate." He named two former university faculty members as having been Communist party members former U. . S. Rep. Hugh DeLacy and Selden Mene fee. Matthews described DeLacy as "one of the most notorious" party members In the Northwest, whose Communist affiliations were "very extensive." He also said Communistic ac tivities of Jerry O'Connell, for mer Montana congressman and controversial Washington state political figure, are an "open book" but added, "I am not able to say whether he ever was ac tually a member of the Commun ist party. I can testify to his ex tensive aid to the Communist party." O'Connell was arrested vester- day as a leader of the demonstra- i tions outside the hearing cham ber and booked by police on a charge of disturbing the peace. Hunger Chief Causa The witness described Com- i munism as "a foreign controlled conspiracy to destroy the Amerl-1 can system of government and society." He said one of the great i fallacies today is to consider a Communist as a liberal or pro gressive. He described interna tional Communism as "the most Hi-liberal, unprogressive move ment in the world today" one that would bring "a slave so ciety." Matthews said another major fallacy was that nations go Com-' munlstic because of hunger. i "There never has been a case of a country going Communist by j act of a hungry population," he! declared. "It Is always by action 1 of a small minority." Costs of Housing Reach. Peak, FHA Official Soys PORTLAND, Housing costs peak.
