RUSSIAN RUNS
AMUCK, KILLS
PROFESSORS

NEW YORK, Dec. 13 GN.S).
Deep etched recollections of hard
ships endured in the Russian
revolution snapped the sanity Of
Victor s. Koussow and led him
to kill two Columbia Medical
Center professors before taking
his own life, police investigators
Of the tragedy declared today.
KousSow, employed as a handy
man in the school of dental and
oral surgery at the Medical Cen
ter, ran amuck with a gun after
being discharged for attacking a
fellow-employe vest lay and
killed DR.. Arthur T. Rowe, as
Sociate dean of the school. and
DR.. Paul Wiberg, assistant pro-
feSSor, and seriously wounded DR..
William Harry Crawford, pro
fessor Of dental surgery, before
sending a bullet through his own
heart.
Of prominent FamIy
The police declared that both
DR.. Rowe and DR.. Wiberg had
long known the 54-year-old handy
man was a pronounced paranoid.
They also were familiar with his
history, it was said.
KouSSow was a member Of q
prominent family in CZariSt Rus
sia and had received degrees from
both Odessa and Moscow uni
versitieS. Then the revolution
broke out. He endured innumer-
able hardships and saw his family
slain before his eyes. This, the
police believe, developed the
persecution complex, that led to
his brooding over the pilot" Of his
superiors at the Medical Center
to ignore his true worth.
Fires Twice at Dean
KousSow entered DR.. Rowe's Of
flee and fired twice after accus-
ing the assistant dean Of "perse-
cutting" him. DR.. Rowe died less
than an hour later. Leaving his
first victim writhing on the floor,
KousSow ran to the laboratory,
where he had been employed. and
opened fire on DR.. Wiberg and
DR.. Crawford. DR.. Wiberg died
almost instantly.
BY this time, police had been
summoned and KouSSow raced up
a pair of stairs to the next floor.
There he encountered DR.. L. R.
Stow. who dived at the madman
in flying tackle. KousSow
eluded him, however, and fired a
bullet into his own heart. He
died instantly.
It was said at the Medical Cen
ter today DR.. Crawford had "a
good chance" to recover.

TOKYO Q.N.S).-The dreaded
white Scourge"-as tuberculosis
is known in the East-iS working
havoc in Japan. Every year an in
creaSing number Of thousands are
dying of it. In Tokyo and its
suburbs alone there are at least
10000 men, women and children
suffering from the disease.
The deaths there totalled 49,
526 last year. it is shown by fig
ures published by the newspaper
Nichi Nichi.
London's death total for the
same period was just over 1000,
although London's population is
over 100000 and Tokyo's is just
over 100000.
The disease has gained such q
grip on the population that
Tokyo's tuberculosis hospitals are
full and the names Of 5000 Suf-
ferers needing immediate hospital
attention have had to be placed
on a waiting list for beds.
In an attempt to relieve this
need, the city authorities are to
spend 100000 yen on sanitary
measures designed to prevent the
disease spreading.
At the same time. the home
ministry is considering spending
30,000,000 yen on a 15-year plan
for the erection of hospitals and
clinics in 900 country districts.
At present there are more than
5000 towns and villages in Japan
without medical facilities.
Even in Tokyo itself, more. doc
tors and child-welfare centers are
urgently needed, says the Nichi

holding, the pre-empt Is unquestion-
ably the best result bid that West
could make with his holding.
At table A, South and North, both
Of whom would have hesitated ir
opening the bidding at the one level
naturally did not dare to come in al
the four level. Therefore, West was
allowed to play the hand at four
hearts, undoubled and unhampered
The contract is, of course, laydown
so West chalked up a neat $40 points
for his side.
At table B, however, South was
made Of sterner stuff. As he remarked
afterward, a nonvulnerable four-beart
bid was just like waving a red flag
at q bull so far as he was concerned
Therefore, without any fatal delibera.
tion about the prospects of q 1000
point set, he reopened the bidding
with four spades. West went to five
hearts, and North, to South's horror
bid five spades. East doubled.
The ten Of spades showed up In
hnessable position, so South had
no difficulty in making his contract
That bid netted him 300 points-in
other words, swing Of 1870 points,
for his side. Three guesses as to which
team won the match.

Let me amend my statement q
trifle. According to my system, South
holds an opening bid in either third
or four hand position, despite his vul-
nerability. With the North hold, I,
personally, would bid one diamond,
third hand.
Vests hand is without doubt the
best at the table, and it is one of
the few combinations on which I
would pre-empt-provided my part
ner had passed. In other words, had
East dealth, the bidding would pre-
sumably have gone: Pass, pass, four
hearts. all pass.
When this hand was played in a
recent team-of- -four match, however,
West was the dealer, and at both
tables opened with the non-vulnerable
four-heart bid I have often remarked
that pre-emptive bids usually shut out
no one but your partner. but due to
