The incidence of goiter throughout the world rises and falls In some specific areas and acts like a virus-caused disease, Dr. Isidor Greenwald of New York University (Col lege of Medicine ) told the American Medical Association meeting here. In Switzerland, for in stance, the number of goiter cases has dropped the past 200 years, he said. However, there are a great many cases of cretinism in Switzerland. This disease is characterized by stunted growth and mental retardation. Cretinism is known to be caused by goiter, Dr. Greenwald said. Many Swiss babies have goiter when born, he pointed put. Fewer in U. S. In the United States, there are fewer goiter cases than in Switzerland. Yet Americans do have a relatively high rate of hyperthyroidism, overactive thyroid glands. This disease is also linked with goiter. The Japanese supposedly eat many sea foods and there by receive enough iodine in their diets, yet they have a high rate of goiter, and hyper thyroidism. Contrary to the Swiss, who also have a high goiter rate, the Japanese do not have the problem of creti nism. Because goiter can produce different-diseases in two coun tries cretinism in Switzer land and hyperthyroidism in Japan it is possible that goi ter is caused by a virus, he as serted. Outbreak Recalled i)r. ureenwaid recalled a serious outbreak of goiter in livestock in the states of Wash, ing and Montana in 1915. The animals were fed iodized salt and their goiters disappeared. Dr. Greenwald said the out break resembled a virus- caused communicable disease, A lack of iodine should not produce such different effect in different countries, or in the same country at different times, as has been observed in Italy, he said. But a virus in fection might act this way, he concluded. Brides, Grooms Said Youngest in Nation's History Washington-(Science Serv-ice-Today's brides and grooms are younger than any other in the nation's history, the Population Reference Bu reau here reported. The average age for first marriages in the U.S. last year was 23 for men and 20 for women. More girls married at 18 than at any other age. In 1890, men averaged 26 at first marriage and women averaged 22. Since then, the average age has been declin ing slowly but steadily. . Idahoans Youngest Lasst year about 45 per cent of women marrying for the first time and slightly more than 13 per cent of first-time grooms were less than 20 years of age, the Bureau re ported. Idaho's newly married couples were the youngest, with brides averaging 19 and grooms 22. Connecticut's were oldest, 22 and 24.6 respec tively. The Bureau offered no rea son for the trend toward early marriages. Factors believed to contrib ute, however, are the nation's continued economic prosper ity, the G. I. Bill of Rights fi nancial aid to college stu dents, making it more possible for them to marry while still in school, teen-agers "going steady" at progressively younger ages, and a signifi cant percentage of pre-marital pregnancies in young girls. Many Remarriages The Bureau also reported that about one-fourth of last year's marriages in the U.S. were remarriages. One of to (A every 20 divorced women that remarried was a teen-ager. Di vorced men remarried on the average, at 36 and divorced women at 31. Last year's marriages, the Bureau said, were the fewest since 1939. This was attrib uted primarily to the 1958 business recession, although the low birth rates in the 1930s and the high birth rates since 1945 were given as sec ondary reasons. Gen.
