FRED H, GAUSS,
USABLE BLOOD.
UNBOUND, DIE S.
StreptoCOCCuS Claims
Paper Firm Head

A., Fred H. Gauss. 36-year.old head
of a washington paper company
..,for whom nearly 500 persons of.
-:fered their blood in an effort to
,,'save his life from the deadly infec.
ton Of streptococcus endocarditis,
died at Georgetown Hospital at 4
O'Clock today.
Nationwide dramatic appeals
were made through newspapers
and radio in an effort to find a
single person who had recovered
from the infection for a trans
fusion. Although the appeals
were answered by hundreds of per
sons in Washington. New York,
Philadelphia and other cities, not
. one of the volunteers had the
proper blood.
FEW RECOVER
Mr.. Gauss. whose home is at
1926 Fifth St. N. w. was stricken
several days and taken to the
i Georgetown Hospital. Physicians
at the hospital. upon diagnosing
the case and determining that the
infection had entered the blood
stream, Immediately issued an ap-
peal in an effort to find a blood
donor who had recovered. The
grim reality which gave physi-
clans little hope was that only a
minute percen tage of those
stricken with the ailment have
recovered.
Frank H. Gauss, of 1904 Georgia
Ave. N. w, a brother of the vic
tim, canvasSed all hospitals in
: Washington in an effort to learn
the identity of anyone who might
have recovered.
- LIMITED TYPE USABLE
The case not only attracted
widespread attention in Washing.
ton, but throughout the East. The
Georgetown Hospital telephone
switchboard was Swamped with
calls from persons having recov
cred from milder cases of the
same infection which did not
: enter the blood stream, as in the
, case of Mr.. Gauss. Physicians
: explained that blood from anyone
+. except one who had recovered
from a blood-stream infection
would not help. The entrance of
the infection into the blood stream
. is something of a rarity in medi.
cal annals.
Four blood transfusions were
given the stricken man, but none
Of these proved of sufficient
strength to start an upward trend
in his condition.
: So numerous were the volunteers
/, during Mr.. Gauss illness that DR.
Wallace M. Yater, of the George
town Hospital, finally urged all
{. those wishing to donate blood first
to consult their physician to as
= certain whether their blood would
be suitable.
Funeral arrangements have not
been completed.

Better Outlook
In Oil Industry
sy the Associated Press.


AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 3.-Continuing
downward trends of gasoline and crude
stocks, coupled with close proration IN
major producing States, inched the
oil industry toward an improved posi-
ton, many observers agreed today.
Interest centered on authorized pro-
duction for August, final month OF the
high gasoline consuming period. which
apparently will tell whether the in
dustry will enter fall months in better
condition than a year ago.
The oil and gas journal reported
United States production decreased
80. .488 barrels daily during the week
ended July 80 to daily average Of
3,315,89O.
This was slightly less than an esti-
mate of daily market demand for the
remainder of 1888, made before the
Interstate Oil Compact Commission
meeting last week. Representatives
of member States and many operators
indicated they favored continuation
of close proration rather than liberali-
zation of restrictions.
Although decreasing gradually, gaSo-
line stocks for the week ended July %
were 76,366,000 barrels, 6 per cent
more than a year ago.
