TB Cases Total 21
In Jackson County
During 10 Months
A total of 21 new cases of
tuberculosis have been discover
ed during the past 10 months
in Jackson county, according to
Dr. A. Erin Merkel, county
Health officer.
This is seven fhore than all
of last year and reflects a state
wide trend. The number report
ed in Oregon is considerably
over that of a year ago.
Of the 20 new cases 17 are
men while four are women. Dr.
Merkel pointed out that the age
average for men with tuber
culosis is much higher than in
women and there are about
twice as many men as women
contracting the disease. This
ratio is also shown in other
chest diseases. This is why the
man past 45oyears and who is a
heavy smoker is urged to have
a yearly chest x-ray, it was ex
plained. 0
"When we consider an aver
age of four or five other peo
ple have been infected by the
time tuberculosis has been
found and each costing an esti
mated $15,000 in tax money,
the 21 new cases represent a
sizeable figure to the taxpay
ers of the county, Dr. Merkel
stated.
He urged all adults to obtain
chest x-rays from their private
physicians or at the clinic op
erated for this purpose at the
Sacred Heart hospital each
Thursday afternoon, except
Thanksgiving, from 2 to 5 p.m.
Money for the x-ray machines
has been provided by Christmas
seals sales. Volunteer help is
supplied by the Providence
guild of the hospital.

Russia, Egypt Mail
Talks 'Successful'
By MURRAY BROWN
United Press Correspondent
Russia and Egypt hailed today
the "successful" results of talks
in Moscow between Egyptian
War Minister Abdel Hakim
Amer and top Soviet leaders.
But Western diplomats said
despite Egypt's claim that "no
strings" were attached the So
viet economic loan offer could
give the Russians a stranglehold
on the Egyptian economy.
Amer returned to Cairo from
his mission to Moscow Wednes
day. He brought with him a So
viet offer of 700 million rubles
(178 million dollars at the arbi
trary exchange rate set by Mos
cow) to help Egypt "develop her
economy."
It was almost double what
the Soviets promised Syria and
far outstripped the estimated
S40 million in U.S. economic aid
which was cut off after Egypt
nationalized the Suez Canal.
United Press Correspondent
Wilbur G. Landrey said in a dis
patch from Cairo that there
were indications that much of
the aid would come in the form
of machineryi mining and tech
nical equipment and factories.
Western diplomats saw con
siderable danger in such a deal
for Egypt. They said the Rus
sians could get a grip on the
Egyptian economy since they
alone could supply the spare
parts and replacements which
would be needed.
President Gamal Adbel Nas
ser already has mortgaged
Egypt's cotton crop to the Com
munists under his arms deal
with the Soviet bloc.
Landry also reported that the
Soviet economic offer would
strengthen Russia's position in
the Middle East while at the
same time restoring much of
Nasser's prestige in the area.
Diplomats in Cairo were said to
feel the agreement, coming on
the heels of the Syrian-Soviet
deal, would have considerable
impact on other Arab nations
and single out Russia as a po
tential major source of aid.
Some of the details of the So
viet offer were disclosed today
by a member of the Egyptian
mission, Mohamed Hass a n e i n
Heikal, editor of the newspaper
Al Ahram and a close friend of
Nasser.
Heikal reported the loan was
intended to help Egypt carry out
its five-year industrialization
program and break "the econo
mic blockade the West has at
tempted to impose" since the
Suez crisis.
He said repayment would be
from twelve to fifteen years and
interest would not be more than
two and one-half per cent. The
first payment would be due in
five years.
Heikal emphasized that Egypt
insisted there is no strings at
tached to the offer and that
Russia agreed.

Teamsters Union
Organizers Meet to
Discuss Problem
By MARTIN HEERWALD
United Press Correspondent
Seattle (IP) Top organizers of
the Teamsters Union met here
today in a session called by out
going President Dave Beck to
"discuss the unemployment situ
ation which is increasing all
across the nation."
The organizers met amid
charges and denials Beck is try
ing to recapture the top job in
the union. Beck said there was
"absolutely no truth" to the re
ports. Beck said he intended to stay
in office as president only until
court action involving the legal
ity of James R. Hoffa's election
at the recent Miami convention
is cleared up.
"I am still behind Hoffa," said
Beck.
Ask About Comments
Asked by newsmen about com
ments of two unidentified organ
izers quoted by the New York
World Telegram and Sun, Beck
said: "I give no more attention
to undisclosed organizers than
I do to letters that aren't signed.
But there's absolutely no truth
to it."
The New York newspaper
quoted one organizer as saying
"It is my opinion that Mr. Beck
is trying to get a new grip on
the union." Another organizer
commented in reference to to
day's meeting: "It looks like Mr.
Beck is acting like the president
again."
Beck said the meeting was an
other in a series and that the
first meeting concerning the
country's economic condition
was called three months ago.
"I consider running this un
ion is the same as running a
big business," Beck explained.
"We are in the business of sell
ing labor for the best price we
can get. We don't have anything
else to sell. And when something
like this unemployment situation
develops, it's necessary for us
to get together and see if there
are any changes we should make
in our organizing activities."
The teamsters boss said there
was a chance he may have to miss
part of today's meeting of organ
izers. He expects to be called
as a witness today in the grand
larceny trial of his son, who is
accused of pocketing the money
from the sale of two teamsters
owned Cadillacs.
