that the eggs, obtained from the
federal surplus commodities cor

or were toxic because of some
chemical reaction.
L. E. Barrick, Marlon county
coroner, called for an Immediate
investigation.
In Cold Storage
The superintendent said that
a third of the two-ton shipment
of eggs had been served pre
viously without 111 effects. They
were received two or three
months ago from the govern
ment agency, packed in two-
gallon tin containers, ana were
frozen en route Irom romana
in a refrigerator truck.
Upon arrival in Salem, they
were placed in the hospital's
cold storage room, where a
temperature of zero fahrenheit
Is maintained.
; Eggs similarly prepared had
been delivered to other state in
stitutions, Dr. Evans said, and
were eaten without ill effect,
Labor Shortage
' Dr. Evans said the loss of the
stricken patients would make it
extremely dolicult to run nis
insuiuuoa.
. "We've been operating on a
shoestring," Dr. Evans said. "The
Jabor shortage has been critical.
And to lose many of our best
patient-workers makes it that
much worse. For instance, I
can't see now. how we can oper
ate our laundry at all."
'. Governor Charles A. Sprague
Inspected the institution for
more than an hour this morn
ing, indicating that the state
board of control also might in
vestigate. . Future Attempts
Governor Sprague, at a special
meeting of the board of control
today, said he had ordered all
fate institutions to stop serving
any of the frozen eggs.
- Dr. Evans told the board that
he was much worried' that, If
some patient had poisoned the
food, that there might be future
attempts at poisoning..

Bacterial Poisoning
, "Two employes who tasted the
eggs said they tasted salty, and
that tends to confirm the theory
that poison was placed in the
food. But another employe said
Uiey tasted soapy, so 1 don't
know what to think.
"The theory of bacterial pois

chemical reactions within the
eggs, also cannot be discounted."

the discipline that I exact from
each of you."

not obey these unworthy leaders.
I reiterate to you the order
to resist the Anglo-Saxon aggres
sion."
