PARIS, Jan. 31.-A decree pub
lished today in the Off1cial Gazette
disclosed that Prince Ernst Rudiger
Won Starhehberg, one-time vice
chancellor of Austria and leader of
the Austrian Heimwehr, had been
commissioned an infantry lieuten-
ant in the French Army.
The government accepted the
Princes offer to serve against Ger
many for the duration of the war.
The Prince, who headed an Aus
trian Fascist army before Germany
absorption of Austria, asked the
French government September Is for
permission to organize a special
Austrian brigade.
The Nazi government subsequent
ly deprived him Of his German
citizenship and confiscated his prop
erty, which included numerous
castles and other estates in Austria
Prince Won Starhemberg, scion OF
an old Austrian family, supported
the Heimwehr largely from his own
funds and it became virtually his
personal army. Though he fell from
power some time before the an
schluss, the prince as vice chancellor
had been a powerful advocate OF
closer Austrian relations with Italy
to counterfeit German influence.

Health Insurance
Urqed for Workmen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 31.-Industrial
legislation to provide workmen with
insurance against sickness as we'll
as accident injuries was proposed
today by the American Federation
of Labor.
President William Green said the
Federation's Executive Council at
its present meeting probably would
workout model Federal-State
legislation for submission later to
various State Legislatures.
Details of the proposed health in
surance program remain to be
formulated, but the labor leader
said they probably would embrace
some system for employer employe
premium participation.
I'VE feel that workmen are badly
in need of insurance against natural
sickness. just as they are against
industrial accidents" Mr.. Green
said, land we believe such legisla-
ton is entirely within the realm Of
possibility.
GAS it is now, an employe who gets
injured while on the job may draw
payments under the Workmen's
Compensation Act, but If he con-
tracts a natural illness while on that
job there is no provision made for
taking care Of him."

japanese Industries
Face Huge Losses
In Power famine
Thousands Of Workers
Idle With Extension of
Partial Shutdown

TOXIC, Jan. 3l.-Japan's self
imposed electric power famine"
reached critical stage today, as
manufacturers stood to lose millions
of dollars and workers expressed be-
wilderment over enforced idleness.
The partial shutdown, begun
yesterday for a proposed l4-hour
period, was expected to continue in
the industrialized areas of Kobe,
Kyoto and Osaka. and newspa-
pers reported the order would be
applied in Toxic and Yokohama.
Domel, Japanese news agency,
said the commerce ministry would
announce tomorrow 80 per cent
restriction on power consumption in
the Osaka and Kobe regions and a
IS per cent cut in Toxic and Yoko-
hama for Today period starting
February 10.
Munitions Not Affected.
Should coal be obtained in sufi-
cient quantity at the end of that
period, the agency said, restrictions
would be eaSed.
Munitions and other war indus
tries, as well as communications and
public utilities, were not affected
in the Osaka region, but the power
reduction curtailed output of tex
tiles, fertilizers, beer and food
stuffs. Power in some factories was
reduced nearly go per cent below
normal, it was said.
Toxic and Yokohama have been
operating an partially reduced
power for some time.
The partial industrial paralysis
was credited principally to delays
imposed on transportation of coal by
wartime demands on shipping, to-
gether with drought which affected
hydro-electric production. jap
anese insisted there was no ques-
ton by exhaustion of coal sup
plies.
Tremendous Losses.
Factories which turn out goods
requiring uninterrupted processing
such as chemicals, medicines, ceram-
les and glass faced tremendous
losses.
Movie houses were kept open only
a few hours a day in the affected
zones Candles were used for light
ing Office buildings, and elevator
service was halted throughout Osa-
ka, Kobe and Kyoto.
Industrial issues on the stock
market dropped.
Japan, nearly self-suficient in
coal, obtains its chief supply from
fields in the extreme southernmost
islands Of Kyushu and the north
ern island of Hokkaido.

Mrs. Borah Surprised
By 100000 Estate
Left by Senator
Widow ExpIoins She
Had Never Examined
Safe Deposit Box

Senator William E. Borah, who
became an outstanding national
figure during his 80 years in the
Senate, surprised his widow by leav-
ing her approximately 5000, 900 when
he died recently.
1T was as much surprise to me
as it was to outsiders" Mrs. Borah
said today at her apartment, 2101
Connecticut avenue NV 1.-THE
Senator and I always had a joint
checking account, and about four
or five years ago he gave me the
key to his safe deposit box"
Mrs. Borah said, however, she
never had occasion to examine it
and did not give it thought until
the Senator died.
In the safe deposit box, which
was opened by Miss Grace He'll
man, the Senator's personal secre-
tary, the will was found to have
been written by hand on paper from
a Senate tablet. 1t left everything
I have to my beloved Mary" Mrs.
oOl oil Wdo SOlC ChCSuVoA.
There were no witnesses.
A postscript to the document re-
quested Dear Mary" to send the
Senator's scrapbooks of newspaper
and magazine clippings to the
Borah Foundation at the Univer-
sity of Idaho. The foundation was
started by Sol Levinson of Chicago
with contribution of 100000.
The will now is being probated
in Idaho, and the amount which
Mrs. Borah will receive will not be
known until after deduction of
State and inheritance taxes, and
payment Of outstanding debts.
She explained that her husband
had several paid-up insurance pol
icies which had matured. The sale
of their home in Idaho also went
partly toward making up the estate.
Senator Borah never travelled
abroad and during his long career
in Washington did not live on an
elaborate scale. 1t was not thought
generally, however, that he had
accumulated a substantial estate.
Mrs, Borah plans to remain in
Washington most of the time.
AFTER 80 years." she said, Wash
ington is really like home. I love
the people of Idaho and will always
look forward to spending my vaca-
tons with them"

A typhus fever vaccine matched"
IN hens eggs, which is effective In
protecting guinea pigs and may
mark the beginning of the con-
quest of one Of the greatest scourges
known to the human race, was an
nounced today by the United
States Health Service.
The last great typhus epidemic
was in Russia in 1929. There
were approximately 100000 cases
and the deaths were variously esti-
mated at from 5000 900 to 10000, 900.
1t is the scourge which almost
invariably has accompanied wars up
to the time Of the World War, when
there was no great outbreak. While
this was attributed to better SAM
tation, there Is no evidence that 1t
was more than a minor factor. All
the armies were attacked by the
so-called trench fever" which be-
longs to the same family as typhus
and is spread by the same insect,
but is much milder. It practically
disappeared from the world with
the armlStice.
The epidemic typhus, such as &C
companies wars, is spread by human
lice. In the World War there were
about as many of these as in any
other but the only serious war out
break was in 1915 in Serbia. There
was an unexplained outbreak of
about 1000 cases in Chile in 1886.
An outbreak in the present World
War would be by no means i'm
probable, Public Health Service doc
tors say-especially if morale gets
low, as must now be the case with
the Russians in Finland. Once
started an epidemic is difficult to
stop and may spread through all the
fighting forces.
One Vaccine Was Costly.
There has been at least one effec-
tive vaccine in the past but 1t has
been far too costly to produce on
a large scale It is estimated that
one man. working night and day for
a month, might have produced
enough of it to vaccinate 10 or II
men. Another vaccine, cheaper to
manufacture, used live virus Of the
disease. First produced by French
doctors in Tunis, 1t resulted in sew
eral fatalities in the Chilean out
break.
The new Public Health Service
vaccine was produced by Herald r.
Cox, a bacteriologist, and E. John
Bell, a laboratory assistant, under
the direction of DR.. Rolla E. Dyer,
assistant director of the hygienic
laboratory.
The technique used was to incu-
bate an egg for four or five days
and then inject into the embryo
some of the typhus organisms. The
embryonic chick will live and keep
on developing for a few days after
this is done. AS soon as it is dead
the material within the eggshell is
removed. The vaccine is then sep
