bird watchers have caught
some of our little feathered

aid and comfort to the viruses
which cause an extremely un

disease of people and horses.
The case against the birds
is air-tight. The viruses have
been found in their blood. But

plices of the criminals. 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

the film, "Porgy and Bess"
with Otto Preminger.

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.
