Statements from leaders of the International Typographi cal Union and the Publishers Association of . New York warned that the strike which has closed the city's nine ma jor dailies would be a long one - perhaps longer than the 1958 strike which caused a 19-day news blackout in met ropolitan New York. Long Strike Predicted There were even some pre dictions that the strike would last four or five months if it is not settled before the heavy advertising pre-Christmas pe diod is over. Bertram S. Powers, presi dent of the ITU's striking Lo cal 6, said the situation was "worse than five days ago." The publishers' spokesman, Amory H. Bradford, said there was "very little room left for movement" in negotia tions for a new contract with the printers. 'No Progress' Reported William E. Simkin, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation service, returned to Wash ington Wednesday night after reporting "no prog ress in a joint negotiating session Wednesday, the sec ond since the strike began last Saturday. ' Bradford, vice president of the New York Times, describ ed the newspapers' "final of fer" made last week as their "major move to reach agree ment. The offer was for an S8 weekly increase, including wages and other benefits, over two-year contract. Powers said the union is standing on its demand for an S18.45 weekly wage increase , over two years, a shorter work week, improved vaca tion provisions and other benefits. Diphtheria Not Eliminated; Still Takes Toll of Childern (Editor's N o 1 e i Diph theria, once major scourge in the United Stat es, hat been brought large ly under control in much of the nation. But ii has not been eliminated and still takes its loll, often among children, A UPI reporter interviewed medical au thorities on how prevalent the disease it today and what it being done about it).

McAllister was shot and killed in the Malheur Nation al Forest 25 miles north of Burns. By MARGERY McELHENY United Prett International Chicago (UPD It still hap pens. A little boy looks up from the lunch spread before him and tells his mother he can't finish it. He complains of a sore throat, a headache and a backache. He is running a fever and has no energy. The next day the child's fever rises to 105 degrees, the soreness In his throat is worse, his glands begin to swell and he has trouble swallowing. The family doc tor completes his examination and announces the boy has diphtheria. The boy is In need of im mediate treatment. His life could depend on it. Diphtheria, a child-killer, refuses to be wiped out even though it could be eliminated, in the opinion of Dr. James B. Landis, medical consultant for the American Medical as sociation's (AM A) depart ment of health education. "There is much room for improvement," he said in an interview, "but because of public apathy, religious be liefs and other reasons, many people are not inoculated." Landis estimated that 30 to 40 per cent of children from low income groups do not receive inoculations. In the United States last year, the disease struck 591 times and claimed 60 lives, according to Public Health Service (PHS) figures. One third of the cases occurred in children under five years of age. The PHS reports 340 diphtheria cases so far this year. It struck typically without warning in October in Chica go's suburban Stickney town ship. One of five children In the same family was found to have an active case of diph theria. The four other chil dren were found to be diph theria carriers. An epidemiologist said the active case was "extreme ly rare" because all five chil dren had been "immunized" last spring. But he added the case was very light and no vaccine "is 100 per cent per fect." However, diphtheria germs circulate freely, Landis said, and the four children who were carriers harbored the germs without becoming ill themselves. Landis estimated that in an average group of 1,000 children, about five would be carriers. Without widespread immunization, he said, the disease could still reach epidemic proportions in a short time. Early medical treatment can save a victim. If treat ment is delayed even one ad ditional day, a gray mem brane that clearly indicates the presence of diphtheria be comes extensive throughout the throat. If the disease lodg es in the deep part of the nose, however, gray patches may not show up in the throat. When formed In the larnyx (voicebox) or trachea (the up per air passages to the lungs), the membrane presents the danger of suffocation. If the disease extends down the air passages, a croupy cough de velops. Other complications fre quently accompany diphther ia. They include bronchial pneumonia, heart disease, ear and throat infections and nerve palsies. If a victim develops pneu monia, he could die within two or three days. If the dis ease strikes the heart mus cles, death could be imme diate. When the doctor suspects diphtheria Immediate hospi talization and laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis are ordered. Treatment can begin Imme diately with penicillin. Also, a specific anti-toxin can neu tralize the freely circulating toxin in the blood and pre vent further tissue damage. Occasionally, aspirin and in travenous fluids also are giv en. Diphtheria, found only in infected human beings, is caused by the diphtheria bac illi, which grow on the mem branes of the nose, throat, and trachea, and occasionally in flesh wounds. The germ can be transmit ted to the unprotected, espe cially children, by coughing, sneezing, kissing or by con tact with contaminated per sonal articles. The PHS said the disease has not reached epidemic pro portions in recent years and that the death rate has stead- ly declined. It said three- fourths of all the cases last year occurred in southern states. The non-white popula tion was affected four times as often as whites, with Tex as and Minnesota showing high concentrations of the disease. During World War II, diph theria was the major epidem ic disease in Europe. In 1943 44, some 2 million cases, of which 100,000 were fatal, oc curred in Europe, exclusive of Russia. In the United States in 1945, the death rate was 1.2 per 100,000 population. Several localized outbreaks in the United States were traced directly to military personnel returning from the war theaters, according to a report in the Archives of In ternal Medicine. The same report indicated German prisoners captured in Africa and imprisoned in the United States frequently had diphtheria of the throat or skin and that many cases spread to American soldiers and civilians. Medical authorities agree the only effective preventive is immunization of all chil dren and adults. If a mother is immune, her newborn child will have some immunity, which it loses in a few months. The diphtheria toxoid is routinely combined with whooping cough and tetanus vaccine in the so-called "DPT" shot, and is given to infants at the age of six to eight weeks. Often the triple shot is combined, with polio vaccine. Unlike the law requiring a smallpox vaccination before entry to the United States, there is no law requiring diphtheria immunization. Eight states require diph theria vaccinations for chil dren entering school. These are Hawaii, Kansas, Ken tucky, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio and West Virginia.
