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.
