The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-21

The interstate commerce com- mission offered the plan yester- day in rejecting the carriers pe- tition for a blanket 15 per cent rate increase.
 The huge pool suggested would accrue through widely spread small rate increases for the ben- efit of roads in financial distress. The increases would have little effect upon the average citizen. As a companion effort to the $600.000,000 national credit corr poration and the proposed improve
 ments in the real estate and home
 building situations, the. railroad
 plan would marshal from $100.-
 100000 to $125,00O, ,000. By making its counter proposal,
 the commission was believed to
 have averted for the time being any further speculation regarding wage reductionst for rail workers. As the plan was studied to-day
 the attitude of the majority of rail executives was in doubt. It wgas learned by the. United Press that President Hoover, work

Washington. Oct 21.-Republi- can politicians have about con- cluded that their ticket next year is to be Hoover and Theodore Roosevelt.
 They may not be satisfied entire- 1y with the choice of the governor of Porto Rico as the presidents understudy, perhaps because some of them have ambitions of their own in this direction and perhaps because they do not see where the latter has qualified in politics for hte second highest office in the land. His political career began with his election as an assembly, man in New York, after which President Harding made him as- sistant secretary of the navy. Harding did this first, because he recognized the value of having as- sociated with him the son of a popular president, and second, be- cause during the Wilson admins tration another Roosevelt, now governor of New York. had filled the place with signal distinction. In 1924 a republican victim had to be found to run against Alfred B. Smith for the governorship of New York. and young Theodore Roosevelt was the sacrifice. After this he remained in obscurity, be- ing mentioned for various political jobs but without success until PreSident Hoover appointed him governor of Porto Rico. In this

ofiice he seems to have done very well.

 However, 1t is not because of his political accomplishments that he is deemed likely to be on the national ticket next year. With Franklin Roosevelt prominent in connection with the democratic nomination., President Hoover might be taking a leaf out of the book of President Harding, oi whose cabinet he was a member, Moreover, the republican party is rather destitute of impressive can didates for the office of vice. president. The death of Dwight Morrow removed the one out standing figure who might have been induced to take it. Curtis the incumbent, does not want to run, thinking his chance for elec- tion again as senator from Kansas is a more promising venture. Sen- ator Watson of Indiana, who &C., cording to popular report fears that His state will go democratic next year, and who, therefore, for a time considered the idea of keep ing out of the senatorial race of 1892, and flirted for & brief period with the thought of being Hoo- ver's running mate, has appar. ently given up that idea. He may have done this because of inside information that Hoover wanted Colonel Roosevelt.

 A pooling plan was suggested by
 the National. Traffic league during final arguments on the petition last month but the carriers drowned
 upon it at that time.

 the railroads must present their agreement on or before December
 1. The increases would be teInpo-
 rary. extending only to March 31, 1883.
 While the increases would in ef-
 feet cost every man, women and child in the United States about
 one dollar, the ordinary citizen probabzly would notice no differ- ence to his pocketbook. For in-
 stance, an increase of $3 per car would be authorized for coal and lumber. A car contains about 50 tons of coal so the increase, even

if passed along entirely to the con- sumer, would amount to only six centB per ton. A man could build a house with less than $fO addi- tional chargeable to increased freight charges.
 Most of the agricultural products escaped so that the housewife need not be afraid her grocer will blame higher freight rates for in- creased food prices. Meats will not be affected.
 The commission recognized the plight of the farmer, saying that the present prostration of a large part of agriculture has seldom if ever been equalled in the history of the country"
 When the decision was an- nounced at 3:30 p. m.. there were indications that parts of it already were known in the financial centers of New York and Chicago.
 The coal increase was becoming generally known in New York an hour before theoficial announce ment was made.
 x The commission reached its de-

aspirants for the vice-presidency. There were half a dozen men tioned in the convention that nom mated MT Hoover in 1928, among them Charles G. Dawes, Govern or Fuller of Massachusetts, Sem ator Watson, Majority House Leader Tilson, with incidental ref erences to Senator Moses of New Hampshire, ex-Governor Lowden, of Illinois, and others.
 The difference between then and now Is that while there are always plenty of statesmen who look kind- ly at the prospect of becoming vice-president, there are few who are willing to embrace such an un- promising adventure as running for that office on the republican ticket in 1882.
 Up to Hoover to Pick Mate
 Another season for the lack of interest in the second place nomi- nation just now is the feeling among the republican senators and representatives that this is Mir Hoover's show, that he must bear the responsibility for what has happened during the administra- tion, and that 1t Is up to him to pick up his fellow traveller for the thorny juorney of 1892.
 The republican situation is in strange contrast with that on the democratic side. While the g.o.p. statesmen are shying away from a national candidacy, their adversar- les are embarrassed by plethora.
 There is hardly governor in the United States-and there are 25 of them now and will, according to the political forecasts, be 27 after the elections in Kentucky and New Jersey.

 Checks Psittacosis l69 Cases and B Deaths Attributed to Parrot Fever" Between Nov g, 1929, and May ', 193O

erance of cases among females is probably a reflection of the fact that in this country exposure usually oc- cured in the home where women spend a relatively larger amount of their time than do the men. The care of the birds also commonly falls to the women. In an outbreak which occurred in Argentine where expo sure was largely from an exhibit of fancy birds. the infection was re- ported as being three times as prev alent among males as among fe- males.
 Several of the nations involved, including the United States, there fore, prohibited, for the time being, the importation of the birds most commonly found to carry the infec- ton. While this procedure prevent ed fanciers from acquiring newly imported birds, 1t was eficacious in preventing human cases of this dan- gerous disease. Limited importation of these birds, under supervision, is now permitted into the United States. The proper care and sanita- ton of birds during shipment is now prescribed so that the birds will ar rive in the best possible condition. Inspection of birds at the port of importation provides additional pro- lection in preventing the entry of all birds exhibiting signs of illness, since 1t is not possible by inspection to determine when sick bird has psittacosis. A period of observation under strict quarantine, keeping the birds isolated from one another be- fore allowing them to be admitted at ports of arrival, constitutes fur ther protection against danger of in- troducing the disease. Individual birds which are kept apart from other birds become increasingly safer as the interval of isolation be- comes longer. Recently imported birds, therefore, should be accorded circumspect maintenance, particu- larly during epidemic prevalence of the disease. The only known sure means of prevention of the disease is to avoid contact with recently im- ported birds, especially if they ap- pear to be sick.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-20

l Washington, D. C., March 20.
 Psittacosis. or parrot fever. is pri-
 marily a disease of birds which can
 be conveyed to persons through
 more or less intimate contact with
 recently imported infected parrots, and sometimes by parrakeets, love birds, canaries. and possibly other
 tropical species. It is, therefore, of especial interest to all bird fanciers. | The symptoms of the disease in
 birds are not sufficiently character
 istic to be diagnostic; hence, the dis ease in them is usually detected only after one or more human cases of parrot fever have resulted. The
 birds which usually are responsible for the human cases are those which have been imported recently and usually they also show signs of illness, such as loss of appetite,
 roughing of feathers, and sometimes cough and diarrhea, although occa- sionally birds apparently well have served to infect persons as long as eight months after importation. The facility with which the disease is spread from infected birds to man makes it one of the most highly con- tagious diseases known.
 Infected persons usually become sick in from to 15 days follow ing exposure and have symptoms suggesting influenza. The onset is sudden, with chilly feeling, intense headache, and fever. A peculiar type of localized pneumonia soon develops. It is largely upon the ex- tent of this pneumonia and the age
 of the patient that the outcome o1 1.-the disease depends; it is especially dangerous in. perSons over 60 years old. Tn mild cases the initial pneu- monia ceases to spread and the fe- yer. and other symptoms tend to dis appear after eight to ten days. In severe cases, however, the lung be- comes progressively more and more involved, and unless the process can be checked death will result, usually | in { he third week of the disease. When recovery sets in. the physi- elan must guard his patient from getting about too soon, as relapses during the weeks immediately fol- lowing the return of the temperature | to normal occur not infrequently, though they tend to be milder than the original attack.
 Psittacosis of man has been re- ported for the United States in 1904, 1906, 1925 and 1927. The 1929-1930 i outbreak IS. however, by far the most extensive yet reported for the United States. Nevertheless. it seems ceratin that this outbreak | would largely have escaped detec- tion as to its real nature had not the
 press brought the condition and its striking association with parrots be- fore the public and the medical pro.
 fession.
 The records of the public health
 service indicate that there were "A

 to 169 cases with 33 deaths from
 November 23, 1929, to May 2, 1880
