ft doirD UO (S)(fik (iOIfDCSG'D y r Humphrey Cheered for Asking (Glean Out of Democratic Party; V '. By JACK BELL I KANSAS CITY, Kas. (JP)- Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn) told cheer ing Democrats Friday night they must "clean out every rascal who has defiled, our Party." " Humphrey drew a tremendous round of .applause at this Mid Western conference of Party lead ers when he praised the "vision and courage" of Secretary of State Acheson. He urged the Party not to dodge the 'corruption" issue raised against the Truman administra tion in the presidential campaign. Declaring that peace and free dom" are the real issues, Humph rey said that he wants President Truman to run again. "But if he is not available I want someone' in the White House There is this about the name of Senator Estes Kefauver who has announced himself as Democratic candidate for President: It is new, fresh and clean. Some may think it a bit presumptuous for a Senate first-termer to reach lor tne nign est political prize of all, but there is more to Kerauver than amDi tion. For one thing he challenged and licked the Crump political ma chine in his home state of Tennes see, licked it decisively in his race for the Senate seat Then as chair man of the Senate committee in vestigating crime he exposed a lot of rascality both among the gam bling fraternity and among their political stooges in puonc oince. ' Kef auver's announcement breaks the ice on the Democratic side. It Is a direct attack on any White House dynastic succession, either for Truman or for a hand-picked successor. While the White House may exercise decisive Influence in determining who the Democratic nominee will be it cannot just Iznore Kefauver. It is noted that already young Democrats are rallying to Kef sil ver's banner-They too want fresh deal in their party's leader ship, and they see in Kefauver one whom they can support with drive and enthusiasm. In fact the Kefauver announce ment comes as a refreshing breeze to thousands of loyal but despair ing Democrats. And his coonskjn can trademark gives lust tne pi oneering flavor that appeals to the voters.

Public Health Service Is sharnen- ing its lookout for any evidence of secretly-introduced germ warfare. The agency has expanded its long-established system of keeping note of the communicable disease situation throughout the nation and one reason for the action is that "the data may provide vital information in defense against biological warfare." Ten diseases have been added to the list of maladies which state and territorial health officers regularly report to the government each week. Seek Prompt Report Besides giving a regular statisti cal picture on these and other re portable diseases, the state and territorial health officers have also been asked to report promptly "any outbreak or unusual occur rence of diseases of public health interest or importance." The diseases newly added to the list are botulism, a form of food poisoning; brucellosis, or undulant fever; dengue,- or "break-bone fever; infectious and "serum" hepatitis, liver diseases accom panied by jaundice; malaria; rab ies in man; trichinosis, a parasitic disease which can result from eat ing raw or inadequately cooked pork; and rat-borne typhus fever. Potential War Use The Health Service says that some of these and also some of the diseases heretofore on the regularly-reported list "are caused by organisms regarded as potential agents that might be employed in subversive activities." The Service's views were out lined in the monthly publication "Public Health Reports" by Dr. C. C. Dauer, medical adviser to the National Office of Vital Statistics. Dr. Dauer emphasized to a re porter that there is no present evidence of subversive germ war fare, but that the system offered means for quickly spotting any such activity. Dauer offered no opinion as to which diseases were most likely to be chosen by subversive agents in any secret attack.

The government's latest con sumer's price index, announced Friday, snowed a .3 per cent in crease between Nov. 15 and Dec. 15. This meant a boost of 5.8 per cent in the past year, and 11.1 per cent since the Korean War started. Higher retail prices for fresh fruits and vegetables, for such things as doctor bills, haircuts, and cigarettes, and for rents and fuel, were blamed for the new rise. The increase means that the formula of the Wage Stabilization Board is hiked a bit too, so that the government now allows wage increases of about 15 per cent above levels of January, 1950. The new index figure is 189.1, meaning that living costs have increased 89.1 per cent over the average for the 1935-39 base per iod used by the Bureau of Labor statistics. No major labor contract rates were hinged to Friday's index. However, next month's index, if the present upward trend contin ues, probably will mean added pay for a million CIO auto workers.
