The main accomplices seem to be two kinds of mosquitoes. One kind carries the viruses from bird to bird, and the other kind carries them from birds to people and horses or at least the evidence so indicates. Prime Mystery The viruses are those which cause equine encephalitis and the scientific detective work was done by Massachusetts state public health scientists under the direction of Dr. Roy F. Feemster of the Harv ard School of Public Health. It is one of the clearest dem onstrations that science is go ing to be strained to deal effectively against the ways some disease-causing viruses have of getting to people, and in this case, to horses. A person with equine en cephalitis doesn't give it to another person nor to a horse; nor does a horse give it to another horse nor to a per son. Then how do the viruses get around among people and horses? That has been a prime mystery for years. Now the scientists-detectives have come up' with what looks like the full and correct answer. Not all the evidence is con clusive but it explains most of the known peculiarities of equine encephalitis. The out breaks are sporadic, occur in summer, and sometimes there are many years'between them. Massachusetts has had sev eral over the past two dec ides, all of them in the vicin ity of swampy areas. In a detailed report of their years-long detective work, Feemster and his associates pointed out that in summer drought years there have been no outbreaks of equine en cephalitis. The outbreaks have come in years when spring and early summer rains were abundant. Therefor, it was reasoned that rains filled up the swamps which then became fine breeding grounds and up ped the mosquito population. This population reached high numbers at the time newly hatched birds were in their nests, defenseless against mos quitoes. So the viruses were spread widely among birds, and then by other mosquitoes who sucked the virus crop from their blood to people and horses. Director To Sue Samuel Goldwyn Hollywood (UPD Director R o u b e n Mamoulian today planned to bring suit against Samuel Goldwyn for replac ing him in the company of the film, "Porgy and Bess" with Otto Preminger. "I have the greatest respect for Mamoulian," Goldwyn President's Auto Has Flat Tire Washington (UPD Presi dent Eisenhower, like a lot of Americans, had a flat tire Sunday. But he didn't have to wait for his car to pull sideways or go bumping along on a wheel rim to find out about it. Secret Service agents rid ing behind him saw the tire going down as the President's limousine moved through a clover-leaf turn on the high way from his Gettysburg, Pa., farm en route back to the capital. The agents quickly radioed ahead to the presidential car whose driver promptly pulled over to the side. The Chief Executive and First Lady transferred to another air-conditioned limousine, leaving Secret Service agents to fix the flat. said, "but he and I could not see eye to eye on various mat ters. Rather than go on with basic differences of opinion between us, I have relieved him and engaged Mri Pre minger when production is resumed." Shooting of the picture was delayed when fire swept through a sound stage hous ing the "Porgy and Bess" set last July 2. Mamoulian indicated differ ences of opinion with Gold wyn concerned with other matters at the studio and not the picture itself. Early Classes Not Curse for Students What Ridge, Colo. (UPD The traditional campus curse, the 8 a.m. class wont seem so bad to 23 high school mathe matics whizzes when they en ter college this fall. For the past school year, these Jefferson County seni ors appeared at Wheat Ridge High daily at 7 a.m. volun tarily. The "A" math stu dents crammed a normal year's instruction in solid ge ometry and trigonometry into the semester. Mathematics i n s t r u c tors from Colorado School of Mines, Colorado- University and Denver University then gave them college-level instruction. Nearly half the class won college scholarships. Jeffer son County school officials are so pleased with the suc cess of the 7 a.m. class for ex ceptional students that the policy will be continued. Congressmen Eye Departure Time Washington (UPD Con gressional leaders looked for ward today to adjournment m two or three weeks pro vided the Middle East crisis doesn't worsen and upset their plans. Assistant Senate Demo cratic Leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.) was on record with a prediction the 85th Congress would wind up its business by Aug. 9. House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. (Mass.) circled the same date. Some other key lawmakers, however, thought Aug. 16 would be a more likely de parture time in view of the array of major legislation still to be acted on. ' Congress still has to deal with "must", legislation in cluding defense appropria tions, farm tax, welfare and labor bills.; Increase Noted in Lightning Fires Portland (UPD Regional fire control chief Alfred E. Spaulding of the U. S. Forest Service said there has been a striking increase in the number of fires and the total acreage burned during the 1958 fire season as compared with the similar period last year. Forest service findings dis closed the increased number of fires caused by lightning, and a decreased number of man-caused blazes. ACTOR DIES New York (UPI) Harry T.
