Sixteen The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Thursday, September 3, 1942 Battle of Disease Won In Yunnan Chungking, Sept. 3 U.R Gen eralissimo Chiang Kal Shek'i army of the southwest has won the battle of disease in Yunnan province, known as the world's worst malaria region, it was dis closed today. Additionally the army in Yun- nan has developed an excellent intelligence - guerrilla system which keeps the Japanese troops in northern Burma under con stant surveillance. Possibility of a surprise Japanese attack across the Salween river into Yunnan has been reduced to a minimum. Dr. Robert McClure, Toronto, Canada, who heads the Friends' ambulance unit in China, told the United Press that the cen tral army stationed in the south west is the fittest fighting group in China. ur. Mcuiure completed an 11-day tour of the Salween front dividing line between the Jap anese and Chinese forces and high-water mark of the Japan ese advance northward through Burma. Dr. McClure said that while the Chinese Red Cross, the army medical administration and vol unteer units have licked the malaria problem for the Chin ese, the Japanese still are suf fering. Before the medical "cleanup" in Yunnan, 21 out of 90 Chin ese soldiers in one tattalion died within two weeks; 37 died in one company, four out. of six cooks died in a week. Malaria, dysentery, food . poisoning in cluding poisonous mushrooms and cholera accounted for the heavy toll of death. The army medical service went into action, providing qui nine, ginger tea, fresh fruit and vegetables, salt, and medical supplies for the soldiers. . In one area the army vaccinated 10,000 civilians, and in another 8,000. As a result, cholera and ma laria deaths have been reduced to "little or nothing" among the Chinese soldiers, and sickness resulting from nutritional defi ciences has slumped. Chinese guerrillas, however, reported that a Japanese garri son at Lungling, numbering 1, 500 men, suffered an average of 50 deaths daily from sickness, WINNER Doris Hart, 17, of Miami, Fla smiles as she holds trophy after wlnnlnr United States girls' tennis crown it the Philadelphia, Fa., Cricket Club.

Army Off iters In Salem on , Recruiting Duty It's my ' business to get the men ,and the women the army needs and to get them into the place wher,e each can contrib ute the most to the war effort," said Lieut. Col. B.. H. Hensley, commanding officer, Oregon re cruiting and Induction district, when he visited here today. He reports an expanding need for skilled technicians especially in j the air force, the ordnance de partment and the signal corps. .
