PLANE TRAVEL
CREATING new
HEALTH DANGER
Quarantine Difficulty in
Increased Air Use Is
Seen by Officer.
Aviation -

fAirplane travel has created a new
public health problem, according to
DR.. William F. King, state board Of
health director.
It Is the danger of foreign diseases
entering the country by air travel
ing aliens, who avoid quarantine re-
quired when entrance is by sea or
train.
DR.. King cited the discovery of
two cases of leprosy at Gary during
the last four years. Both were Mex
leans who had been smuggled into
the country. He pointed out how
this smuggling already is being en-
banced by the use of planes.
Must Regulate Traffic
ut behooves officials TO anticipate
the public health problems which
may grow out of international air
travel" DR.. King asserted.
The recent air tour on which
Colonel Charles Lindbergh took a
group Of people to Central and
South American countries, and the
numerous flights made to the United
States from the interior of Mexico,
are examples of what now can be
done in the field of flying. It will
not be many years before such trips
are as common as railroad trips now
are
when that time comes, what can
We expect? 1t is easily imagined
that persons will be flying to the
United States from countries on the
south. and many of them will not
stop at airports on the coast or on
the border, but will fly TO inland
cities
Many Difficult Problems
els the government to have quar-
antine stations at every airport in
the country? Such a thing seems
hardly possible. But even so,
plane does not necessarily need to
land at an airport 1t can land on
any smooth field. Possibly a system
of patrolling the air can be worked
out, but even this would be difficult
and uncertain.
There are a great number of
diseases common in southern coun-
ties that would cause much loss of
life II allowed to be brought into
this country. Some of them have
been brought in in spite of stringent
Quarantine regulations on the Dor
ders."
Cites BubOnic Plague
DR.. King named Bubonic plague
as an example.
This is a disease prevalent in the
SOUTH" he said. Twice it has
spread in San Francisco, taking
several lives, and each time was
brought in by aliens. 1t also has
been taken into Los Angeles. Gal
weston. FL Paso, New Orleans, and
.other ports Of entry. What is to
prevent a person with this. or any
other disease, flying into the United
States and landing in inland cities?
Even now communicable diseases
are not confined to border cities"
DR.. King was doubtful if there
would ever be serious problem in
connection with disease carrying
across the Canadian border.
THAT question is not one of great
moment" he said.
Because of the climate there, dis
ease is less prevalent and United
SAtes health authorities are not
concerned. to any great extent, with
quarantine on that border unless
there is a certain sickness prevail

Launch Terror" Against Mill Strikers

The Lynch Law" of the worst oppression in the South

courageous struggles of the Southern textile workers

certainty however that the National Textile Workers Union
will stay right the job that the Workers international

their duties that greater solidarity of the whole working
class will grow out of this attack against it.

carry on open war against the strikers horde of deputy
