Lengthy Printer
Strike Predicted
In New York City
New York UPD New York
ers, newspaperlcss for six
days, got nothing but bad
news today about the printers'
strike situation in which no
further negotiations are even
contemplated until sometime
next week.
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.

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.
