JeL 8-(Sec. I) Statesman, Salem, Ore.,' Sun., July 1, '56 j Illness Fatal ; To Bachelors 1 Laid to Rice TOKYO UN A mysterious illness i which strikes down young men J most frequently bachelor in the 3 middle of the night is causing coo- ; cent In Japan. It hat claimed 130 victims in the pan 11 rnonths, a police coroner In Tokyo says. The Japanese caU it "pokkuri." or Hidden death. Its lymptoms are similar to the "bad dream death" which has been reported among Filipinos in Hawaii in increasing numbers in the past 20 years. It was given that name because the victims groan and tresh about but usually do not waken before they die.' i Similar deaths have been noted J also in Manila and on Guam. Rica Pin Water - , One theory is that the deaths f may be caused by eating too much : half -cooked rice which swells In sue when the eater drinks water. Dr. Saburo Yojhimura, the Tokyo police coroner who gave the death , estimate in a report to a Japanese! t medical meeting, says, the illness is a "blind spot to pathologist! and : internal specialists." He does not 1 refer to it as a disease. "This ia not a disease as such," Dr. Yoshimura sy. "Autopsies show no disease and no cause for $ the death. There may have been such deaths in the past that never ', came to light because it has been ; extremely rare in the past for autopsies to be performed. ' But the coroner's report contains ; many points made previously by Dr. Nils Paul Larsen of Honolulu, , who studied the illness among fili t pi nog In Hawaii. ., , ; , . Meetly Bachelors' ; It strikes only men, almost al ways those between 13 and 45 and ' frequently bachelors. Until the ' Japanese report,, it had seemed confined almost entirely to-Fili-"l pinos. In 130 cases in Hawaii la JO ' years. Dr. Larsea said there had been only one death of a Caucasian j and on of a Japanese. Those : who have witnessed a "sudden death" almost always re- port the victim groaned, threshed i about, cried out in his sleep, and ' died within 10 minutes alter the f first noticed symptoms. - Dr. Larsen says autopsies in i Hawaii usually , disclosed rice -. stuffed stomachs. Many Filipinos J eat half-cooked rice which swells up when they drink wster, the Honolulu doctor added. . t - Japanese autopsies usually re- veal the -victims, mostly laboring .... men, have also eatrn shortly be- , fore going to bed. The Japanese , laborer s basic lood it Huge bowls ! of boiled white rice. Wife9s Nudism iNot Grounds I For Divorce J l LONDON I - A husband who came home unexpectedly one day ; and found his naked wife drinking t tea with a naked man was denied a divorce Thursday. J- ?The wife, comely, blonde Mrs. Mildred Clements, testified that she and the naked man, Peter ' Scott t Darling, were both nudists. VShe said they were Just having a fecial afternoon and had not, as alleged by her husband, non-nudist Peter Clements, been misbe having. , After due consideration Judge Samuel R. Edgedale accepted her story and refused to give Clements ' a decree on ground oi adultery. "People who are ' nudists,' the judge said, "are really not quite the same a other people. One has to appreciate that their view of the conventions is different." ,, v ....
