Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Page 22 Thurs., Nov. 8, 1951 Strange Illness Strikes Soldiers U.S. Doctors Baffled By Korean Disease TOKYO W) A strange Illness for which no sure cure has been, found has broken out among United Nations forces in Korea, Gen.;.Matthew B. Ridgway's head quarters said Thursday. Brig. Gen. William E. Sham bora, surgeon of the Far East Command, said the mysterious malady strikes suddenly and i characterized by fever and a headache. These symptons are common in the early stages of several known infectious diseases. Sulfa and antibiotics have failed to stem the disease, Shambora said; .Blood transfusions from men who-have recovered seem to ease Its severity. The malady is strikingly simi lar to that reported by the Jap anese among their Manchurian troops in 1939. Headquarters said it iS"too early to say the two dis eases are identical. The Japanese called the disease "epidemic hemorrhagic fever." The believe it is caused by a tiny, .virus carried by field mice nd transmitted to man by mites. Shambora said some patients recover quickly while others de velop further symptons. These in clude hemorrhages under the skirw around the eyes and the in ternal organs. In some instances the disease affects the kidneys. The surgeon said efforts are being made in Korea, Japan and the United States to Isolate the disease organism, determine the method of transmission and find the best way of treating it.

Anftlyit) Betwcen-thc-lincs hints from Moscow Thursday suggest that Joseph Stalin has relinquished at least some of the active control of his Soviet dictatorship. The censored dispatches report ing the celebration of the revolu tion's 34th anniversary gave an impression that new authority has fallen to two men Georgi Max milianovich Malenkov and Lav rcnty Pavlovich Bcria, the power twins of the Politburo. The dispatches gave no indica tion that cither Stalin or his old Bolshevik deputy, Vyacheslav M. Molotov, was present at Tuesday night's revolution anniversary eve celebration at the Bolshoi Thea ter, the most Important gathering of the year for Soviet officialdom. The dispatches did not say this Novelist Slated For Talk at UO Elizabeth Bowen, well-known Irish-English novelist and essay ist, "will speak on-"The Role of the Novelist in Today's World," when she visits the University of Oregon campus Friday, Nov. 9. Miss-Bowen's lecture is scheduled for 8 p.m. in the Browsing Room of Erb Memorial Union Bldg. The public is invited.

The lecture Friday night Is one of scries of informal coffee hours held weekly in the Brows ing Room.

Student Cited For Narcotics PORTLAND UP) A 21-year-old former College of Puget Sound student was in jail here Thursday, accused of forging some 100 pre scriptions for narcotics in the past two months. The district attorney filed a charge of violation of the uniform narcotics act against Edward Charles Ames, arrested at a Port land drug store after a druggist became suspicious and called police. Used Dilaudld Police Lt. Howard W. Russell said Ames told him he had ob tained a syntheic narcotic in tablet form called dilaudid for his own use in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Mcdford and Klamath Falls. The police officer quoted him as saying he stole the prescription blanks from doctors' offices and that he learned to write the pre scriptions while living in Seattle. Involved In Burglary Amos told Russell he had been involved in a $30,000 diamond burglary in Alaska, receiving a suspended five-year sentence. He went to Seattle where he lived until he came here in September, he said. Police and federal narcotics agents cooperated in the investi gation begun a month ago, Lieu tenant Russell said. Hunter Exonerated By Deschutes Grand Jury BEND W) A Deschutes County grand jury has exonerat ed "Jack Croplcy, 17, Portland, from blame in the fatal shooting of a hunter, Roger Wayne Moore, 25, Madras.

Terpsichore Didn't Win This Marathon BOSTON (IP) A probate court judge has ruled a man lir1 fllcts mental cruelty on his wife when hs Insists on dancing the polka while the orchestra plays a waltz. Mrs. Constance R. Blols, 35, testified in a divorce action Wednesday her husband, Ray mond E. Illois, 38, a Northeast ern University professor, con stantly embarrassed her. "He always danced the polka when the orchestra played a waltz, site said. "I told him tills was corny, but he said he want ed to have a good time."

Judge Frederick J. Dillon granted her divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty. They had been married five years. tyoi cocM wine MnBrown f Petri Wine ! is just (te thing r tiiil ml nn If i j yf 'Mir, Tirrt'1 A ! ?. lea f.; ;riNetri ... , -x -v, directly. They said a "message of greeting" to Stalin was adopted. They listed members of the Po litburo who were present, Molo tov's name was missing. Stalin of late has gone to a Black Sea resort when Moscow's zero weather begins. The Soviet press generally lists Politburo leaders in the order of their importance, and correspond ents in Moscow follow this pro cedure in their dispatches. This is the way the dispatches listed the Politburo Tuesday night: Malenkov No. 1 Beria, Malenkov, K. E. Voro shilov, N. A. Bulganin, L. M. Kaganovich, N. S. Khrushchev, A. N. Kosygin, A. I. Mikoyan, N. M. Shvernik, A. A. Andreyev. In pictures of the May Day celebration published in the So viet press last May, Malenkov was shown at the right hand of Stalin, and Beria next. Molotov occupied the sixth spot in the or der of Importance at that time. The order now suggests a polit buro of devoted Stalinists. Mar shal Vorshilov is Stalin's durable old comrade in arms of revolu tionary days. Kaganovich is his chosen industrial genius and said to be related to mm oy marriage. Bulganin, though a marshal, is Stalin's financial wizard. Stalin's Health Poor The subject of Stalin's health Is taboo in Russia, but there have been indications tharit has been going downhill. He has been ab sent from many important gath erings since he turned 70 in De cember, 1949. In the pictures of the Politburo at the big celebra tions, Soviet editors obviously in serted a likeness of Stalin in his younger days, apparently cutting out the contemporary portrait. j Malenkov and Beria are a mighty combination. Malenkov, a protegee of Stalin, controls the Communist Party apparatus much in the way Stalin himself con trolled it in his own rise to power. Beria is head of the vast police system of the world's biggest po lice state. A Georgian, he has been considered closer to Stalin than any other Politburo mem ber. If these two men finally assume the full power, it prebably will mean a tighter police state than ever. The indications of this are already at hand.
