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

to make an ironclad diagnosis

daughter, Amy Beth.

died last Thursday in Kalama

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

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

He said Eric was in a respira

effect of the poison. Cannon
said the boy's condition was list

ate.
It was impossible to tell to

may have bought it to return it

System of
With Soviet May Be Altered
By JEANNE KUEBLER
Editorial Research Reports
WASHINGTON Agreement
by the Kennedy administration
to sanction shipment of wheat
to the Soviet Union may well
foreshadow early review of the
whole system of controls now
governing American trade with
Communist countries. 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.

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

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.

"T ABBIT" MARA N VILLE, old Boston Braves shortstop
A whose "basket" catches delighted fans as1 much as thos
of Willie Mays, was a constant thorn in the sides of the urrw
pnes. 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.
