Public Health Service Surgeon
will Direct the Work at New

Surg. Gen. Rupert Blue. Of the Public
Health Service. will leave tonight for
New Orleans to take personal charge Of
a campaign to relieve that city of the
menace Of bubonic plague. DR.. Blue
was requested to go to New Orleans
by Louisiana State authorities after
two fatal cases had been reported and
one other case had been taken under
observation.
The New orleans cases, and one ear
lier in the year, in California, which
proved fatal. are the only plague out
breaks reported In this country this
year. Prompt steps taken by Federal
and State health authorities in Califor-
mia prevented the spread Of the scourge
there.
DR.. Blue, who will be accompanied by
DR.. r. II. Creel. an assistant surgeon.
said today that he could not say what
steps would be necessary in New Or
leans until he had looked over the
ground. From preliminary reports. how
ever, he believed that the battle would
be directed largely to the extermina-
ton of plague-carrying rats.

to guard against the spread of conta-

DR.. Blue says that reports thus far dc
