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

Agriculture is the regulatory ag

control of infectious disease In
livestock and poultry, M. E.

department, has provided the

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.

Matthews asserted Joseph Sta

would be Inevitable.
"I am not here to say whether
It might come next year or In

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."

from the disease may become
carriers of the Infection, It is
particularly Important that poul
trymen be sure that Newcastle
disease has not been a problem
in flocks from which they purch
ase stock. 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.

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.

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."
