Anti-Toxin Flown For Treatment of Botulism Victims KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UPI)-l Supplies of a scarce anti-toxin were flown from Canada and Denmark today to combat a sus pected outbreak of botulism, apparently stemming from packaged smoked fish, that al ready has claimed six lives. All of the known supply in the United States of the anti-toxin for the rare "E" type of food poisoning has been brought into use and appeared to be effec tive in helping eight patients' here and in Nashville. The anti toxin was flown here Tuesday by military jet plane from Beth esda, Md. A special commercial airline flight arrived early today with five pounds of the antidote from the Connaught Medical Center in Toronto, Ont. Ironclad Diagnosis Lacking Doctors still have been unable to make an ironclad diagnosis in the death here Monday of David Cohen, 35, and his 10-year-old daughter, Amy Beth. The same is true in the death in Nashville Sunday of Mrs. Anna Belle Phelps, 51, and on NAMED MANAGER WASHINGTON (UPI) - Dr. Joseph F.

Mr. and Mrs. Chester Mitchell died last Thursday in Kalama zoo, Mich. The victims all had one thing in common. They had eaten smoked fish from Michigan. Vanderbilt Hospital officials in Nashville said Tuesday night that Eric Charles Dalton, 5, of Huntsville, Ala., had been ad mitted to the hospital with ap parent symptoms of botulism. Dr. Richard Cannon, hospital director, quoted the child's mother as saying that Eric had eaten some of the suspected smoked whitefish last Friday. Cannon said the mother said some of the symptoms had shown up Saturday and had grown progressively worse be fore he was brought to Vander bilt. In Respirator He said Eric was in a respira tor to help fight the paralyzing effect of the poison. Cannon said the boy's condition was list ed as critical. The Tennessee victims ate smoked whitefish purchased from Kroger supermarkets and packed by the Dornbos Bros. Fisheries of Grand Haven, Mich. Investigators have been unable to find out where the Mitchells bought the fish they ate. It was impossible to tell to how many stores the infected fish mav have been sent. H. J. Dornbos, president of the fish ery, appealed to anyone who may have bought it to return it to the store where it was pur chased. A Kroger company spokesman said xonly three pack ages have been returned to one Knoxville store. your own I s2;0VV : ' You can do a lot for your independence financially and personally just by signing a slip of paper, like the one above, in your employer's office. The paper is an application for the Payroll Savings Plan. It authorizes your employer to set aside a small amount from your paycheck (you decide how much) towards the regular purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds. You hardly miss the money because you never see it Your nest egg of Bonds builds up fast automatically. And while your Bond dollars pile up to give you more financial independence in the future, they help guard your independence as a free American right now. These dollars help give America the strength it needs to stand up to the enemies of freedom. Why not tell your employer you want to join the Payroll Savings Plan starting this payday?

The pos sibility of modifying the re strictions, which have held com mercial interchanges with So viet ' Russia and its satellites to minimal amounts, has re ceived growing attention since signature of the limited test ban treaty began to ease cold war tensions. Modification of the restric tions became a matter of im mediate interest in mid-September when Canada announced that it had agreed to sell $500 million worth of wheat to the Russians. The Canadian-Russian transaction, largest ever nego tiated for shipments of wheat within the space of one year, came on the heels of a big Ca nadian wheat sale to Commu nist China in August. Moreover, British trade delegations trav eled to Moscow and Peking in September in search of addi tional business. All these negotiations with the Communists by two of this country's closest economic and political partners pointed up the profound difference of policy between them and the United States on East-West trade. The United States, held back by legal restrictions as well as by strong opposition in Congress and the country, has carried on little trade with Communist countries other than Poland and Yugoslavia. 3 Trade Controls Assistant Senate Majority , Leader Humphery (D-Minn.) re- ricd on by other free world na cently asserted that this restric- tions with the Communists, tive policy was "not in the best Value of exports to Communist interests of the country." Hum-! phrcy's view has found strong support fn business and finan cial circles. The First National City Bank of New York, for ex ample, said in its monthly eco nomic letter on Oct. 1 that "All economic considerations favor normalization of East - West trade, with understandable ex ceptions." The bank asserted that the American policy of at tempting to cheek Russia's eco nomic growth by officially dis couraging trade was driving this country into "a position of economic isolation. Commercial exchanges by the United States with the Soviet Union and the Eastern Euro pean countries in 1962 amounted to $415.7 million by value. More than half of the over-all trade was carried or, with two coun tries: Poland, considered to have a degree of independence om Moscow despite its con tinued satellite status, and Yu goslavia, which has followed an independent course since 1948. These two nations have enjoyed preferred tariff status in United States markets and have occu pied a favored position under the system for controlling ex ports to Communist countries. Of $279 million in American exports to Communist nations 1962, $154.2 million worth was shipped to Yugoslavia and $94.5 million worth to Poland; (he other satellites together took about $15 million, 'the same amount received by the Soviet Union. Exports to Communist China, North Korea and North Viet Nam are under total em bargo. Imports into the United States from Communist coun tries likewise come predomi nant from Yugoslavia and Po land. Of a total $136 million in American imports from the Communists in 1962, Yugoslavia supplied goods valued at $54 million and Poland shipped $46 million worth. These totals contrast sharply TIME 70 TMfatiMu YU OIT MOBI . . . YOU JAVI MOII whin v.w fcwy th.

NclhJnf T Ivy ! with the flourishing trade car- countries by all countries of the free world aggregated almost $5 billion in 1961, and this fig ure has increased since that year. Exports to the Sino-Soviet bloc by the Western European nations, Canada, and Japan countries which, with the United States, restrict shipments of war materials to the Commu nists had a total value of $2.5 billion in 1962. Setting the export pace were West Ger many, Great Britain, and France. Trade with the Communists has helped to keep Western Eu rope's economy moving at rapid pace. Many Americans now would like to obtain a sub stantial share in that trade. Those who urge an easing of restrictions cite humanitarian reasons for shipment of grain to Communist lands, wh-re chronic agricultural troubles are apparently causing critical shortages. Advocates of increas ed trade point also to idle plant capacity and considerable un employment in the United States, along with the need to expand exports to improve the country's balance-of-payme n t s situation. American restrictions on non-strategic exports to the Communists, it is said, have been made pointless by the re fusal of other Western nations to maintain equally strict con trols. A large segment of the Amer ican public and their represent tatives in Congress, on the other hand, favor bringing pressure to bear on other free world na tions to curb their trade with the Communis. Opponents of such trade point out (1) that it is not the business of the free world to strengthen the economies of its avowed ene mies; and (2) that any trade, even in non-strategic materials or food, enables the Communists to step up efforts to build a more powerful military-industrial complex.

One day he jump ed rut of the bailer's box and lined himself back of the catcher and Um pire Bill Klem. "I just wanted to see," he ex plained to Klem, "where you had to stand to call that last pilch a strike." An unappreciative Klem banished him from the field. Once in a Boston get together sponsored by a local newspaper, Maran ville needled the famous Indian athlete, Jim Thorpe, to a point where Thorpe chased the diminutive shortstop up an apple tree. Maranville stayed) there three hours until Thorpe, waiting at the base of tha tree, fell asleep. Thorpe was so angry when he awoke anol found his tormentor gone that he uprooted the tree. . The music critic of the San Francisco Examiner once asked K columnist at an adjoining desk why he kept humming the saxn sonp day after day. "Because it haunts me," explained the col umnist.
