KANSAS CITY, Kans., March 21
The case of 2-year-old baby
who apparently was cured of in
f1uenza meningitis by the use of
sulfapyridine, new anti-pneumonia
drug, was reported at University of
Kansas Hospital today.
The child was Phyllis Baxter,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Bax-
ter of Waverly, Kans.
Phyllis was taken Ill March 2
apparently of ordinary influenza
March 7, when she failed to re-
spond to regular treatment, the
family physician, DR.. H. M. Ben
ming, sent her on a 10O-mile drive to
the hospital here.
The child's ailment was diagnosed
as influenza meningitis, an inflam-
nation of membranes which cover
the brain and spinal cord. Children
are especially susceptible to the dis
ease. for which no effective cure
had been developed.
A prominent child specialist, who
asked his name be kept secret, de-
cided there was one thing that
might save Phyllis life-the newly
found sulfapyridine, which never
had been tried for influenza menin-
gifts.
BY the morning of March 8 Phyl-
us temperature had dropped from
los to l0l. Her condition continued
to improve, and she was taken home
March l3.
DR.. Benning reported by tele-
phone last night that her tempera-
ture was normal.

Note Demands End

By Danzig Nazis
(Continced from Page One)

Poland's demands would cause the
Warsaw government to see that
they were carried out. The implied
threat was that Polish troops might
be dispatched to Danzig to enforce
Polish demands.
If the Danzig administration re-
fused to meet the Polish demands,
it was understood that Britain and
France would intervene diplomati-
cally with Berlin and officially
warn Germany Of the serious con-
sequences of military preparations
being undertaken in the free city.
1t was expected Britain and France
would denounce the military prep
arations as a fragrant breach OF
international statute stipulating
Danzig's demilitarization.
The Nazi-controlled free city of
Danzig meanwhile is making mill
tary preparations to defend itself
in event Of hostilities until Ger
man troops reach us from East
Prussia" an informed source told
United Press reporter in that
city.
The free city strengthened its
military position by calling up 1000
youths for one year of compulsory
police service and deCreeinp that
all Danzigers may be required to
perform work important to the
state.
The law has not yet been en-
forced, but according to one we'll
informed Nazi source "the city
wanted the law on the books in
case it becomes necessary to speed
up defense preparations. He out
lined such preparations as includ-
ing construction of barracks and
trenches along the Polish frontier.
Dispatches from Warsaw said the
Polish government would message
the Danzig government that further
military preparations would be re-
garded as an unfriendly act that
might possibly lead to hostilities.
I'VE believe that the motorized
German troops would need about
three hours to cover the 40 miles
between East Prussian territory and
Danzig." a Nazi spokesman said.
