Average Stay in Tuberculosis Hospital Down to Eight Months - By DICK HUMPHREY United Press Correspondent Salem W Twenty years ago there were 321 patients at the Oregon State Tuber culosis hospital here. Their average stay was four to five years. Now there are about 200 pa tients whose average stay is only eight months. With this decrease has gone a 30 per cent rise in the number of patients treated. Twenty years ago or more the death rate from TB rang ed as high as 40 per 100,000 population. Now it hovers around 3.5 per 100,000. Formerly TB killed more people ia their 20s and 30s. Now the average age .of pa tients at the state TB facility is 50.4 years. What has caus ed this startling change? Superintendtn R. E. Joseph says a major cause is break throughs made in the past 10 years on new ' drugs to fight the tubercle bacillus. New Techniques Chief among them are streptomycin and a newer drug known by its chemical abbreviation "INH." These drugs do not have the power to kill TB bacteria outright, but they do inter fere with their growth and prevent reproduction. The result is that the dis ease can be arrested much more rapidly. Newer surgical techniques," used on 30 to 25 per. cent of the patients, also play an im portant part in controlling TB. When Dr. Joseph first went to work for Oregon at The Dalles TB hospital in 1935, the foundation of treatment was a long, long rest in bed combined with techniques such as pneumothorax. which' I consisted of pumping air or I gas into the chest cavity to collapse the lung and let it rest. The dramatic change in TB treatment has made it possi ble for any Oregon resident who discovers he has TB to get immediate treatment eith er at the Salem or The Dalles hospital. The University of Oregon medical school also maintains a 75-bed TB hospit al at Portland which is ad ministered by the Board of Higher Education under con- tract with the State Board of Control. In fact Oregon may have too many TB facilities and a committee appointed by Gov. Robert Holmes is now study ing the possibility of closing one of the hospitals or put ting it to some other use such as treatment of the mentally ill. No One 'Committed' No one is committed to the state TB hospital, but individ uals are urged to go there by private doctors, the State Health Department, Oregon Tuberculosis association and others. The fundamental nature of TB as a communicable disease (it is spread by direct contact, coughing, etc.), is s tressed from the moment a patient enters the TB hospital. The isolated patient is taught first of all to carry at all times tissues to use in coughing or clearing of the throat. Patients whose sputum shows live TB bacilli are iso lated from those with nega tive sputum and those with the live bacilli are urged to wear masks when traveling around the hospital. The real purpose of the TB hospital is to get the patient off to the best possible medi cal start and then to teach him to manage his disease, protect others from it and live as normal a life as possi ble. D e s p t e remarkable ad vances, TB is not a "dead disease." Dr. Joseph points out that about 500 cases of it are turned up each year in Ore gon and there are probably many undetected cases.

Survival of Man In Nuclear Age Takes Priority Lac Beauport, Que. HP) Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel prize - winning scientist, has said the survival of mankind by control of nuclear energy comes above the fight for su premacy between c o m m u nism and capitalism. Speaking at a recent meet ing of scientists in Lac Beau port, Que., Pauling said "man never had such tremendous destructive power in his hands, and the danger of mis using that power is greater today. The use of guided mis siles and nuclear weapons cre ates a danger which can ex plode in a matter of minutes." Scientists from both East and West discussed ways and means to control the nuclear and atomic arms race. The meeting is sponsored by in dustrialist Cyrus E. Eaton. "I don't say that research for nuclear defense weapons should be stopped suddenly," Pauling said. "But it" should be reduced gradually and the energy spent on the construc tion of these weapons should be spent on research for peaceful purposes." Pauling said both the East and the West are spending about $120 billion a year for the nuclear arms race. He said part of that money should be diverted to other purposes which would be more useful to mankind. "The Russians want to live just as we do and this is why meetings to safeguard peace and to protect mankind as or ganized by Mr. Eaton are so much needed," he said.
