Medical Team Trains Sights a On Killer Disease of Children By EDWARD O. ETHELL Denver, April 11 VP) A close-linked team of medical scientists on both sides of the Atlantic is nearing what they hope is a cure for a killer disease tuberculous meningitis. Their main weapon is streptomycin one of the so-called new wonder drugs. With it, about six out of every ten persons stricken with the disease are be - Ing kept alive. .. Only four years ago, the dis ease was considered certain death within six weeks to two months. However, this small group of researchers is making no great claims of success. They look at a patient like a curly-haired, blond boy of five here. He was brought to Na tional Jewish hospital five months ago. His case was con sidered hopeless. The new treatment and nurses earing for him like a baby around the clock have kept him alive. He even has shown a lit tle improvement. He seems to be able to hear a few sounds. His blue eyes are open but they don't see. He can't move, al though his chubby hand gropes aimlessly around his white bed. Will he ever get really well? "We can't say," replies Dr. Al , lan Hurst, medical director of i the hospital who told about the ' medical battle in an interview. "I'm afraid he was too far gone when he reached here. We can only keep him alive, hoping that some day a way of really curing him will be found." - The disease is the greatest cause of death from tuberculosis in children under three. It can strike at any age. There isn't much warning dif ferent from any other illnesses: headache, irritability, vomiting, then a slight fever, finally drowsiness and coma. The only sure test is to sample the spinal fluid. The way the disease works is just what makes it so hard to cure. A slight tuberculous infec tion reaches the blood stream. It moves to the brain and out to the meninges the tissue cover ing. This inflames the tissue, perhaps works down into the spinal column. The inflammation forms ad hesions and scarred tissue. These usually setup a block be tween the spinal column which the brain supplies with fluid. If the other effects don't kill, the fluid trapped in the brain brings death through pressure. Bureau Answers Surplus Spud Problem Washington, April 11 (U.R) The American Farm Bureau Federation came up today with its answer to the surplus potato problem marketing agree ments coupled with a system of price supports which would vary by grade. Such a plan, it said, would reduce potato support' costs to "fraction" of the present multi-million-dollar outlay. Federation President Allan B. Kline outlined the proposal in a letter to Chairman Allen J. Ellender (D., La.), of a sen ate subcommittee which is study ing the potato problem. Kline doubted that the new potato law would work and urged Congress to replace it with the federation's plan. Under its proposal, top graded potatoes would be sup ported at 60 per cent of parity. Poorer grades would receive proportionately lower supports. The agriculture department has tried price differentials be fore, but not with marketing agreements. George Brents 'Expecting' Hollywood, April 11 (U.B f Actor George Brent and his ' fourth wife, the former Janet Michaels, announced today they expect a child In July.

Plan for ilnke On Pullmans Chicago, April 11 (U.R) Union officials today ordered a strike of 2,200 Pullman conductors in the United States and Canada for 6 p. m., CST, April 17. The strike would prevent the movement of Pullman cars on all railroads, they said, because train conductors have been or dered not to move Pullman equipment if the Pullman em ployes walk off the job. ' Under procedure of the na tional railway mediation act, President Truman may postpone the strike for at least 60 days by appointing a fact-finding board to hear the dispute. Harry W. Fraser, president of the Order of Railway Conduc tors, said the major demand in volved was reduction of the pre sent 225 basic-month hours to 210 hours. This figures 30 days of 7 hours each as opposed to 30 days of 7 hours each. The National Geographic So ciety says Americans use 125,- 000,000 wooden matches a day.
