Washington Syphilis
Rate Highest Among
Cities Of lis Size
l03 Of 1000 Registrars
For Droft Diseased,
Health Service Reports

Syphilis is more prevalent among
selectve service registrants in Wash
ington than in any other city of
more than 100000 population in the
Nation, according to physical exam
ination figures submitted to the
United States Public Health Service.
The figures were revealed by DR..
r. A. Vonderlehr, assistant surgeon
general of the U. S. P. H. S.. in a
report made public in the current
issue of the American Medical Asso-
citation Journal, and were based on
examinations OF the first 1000 900
selectees called up for possible Army
service.
In part, prevalence rates were as
follows:
Cities over 100000 population
Chicago, 21.5 per 200; Detroit, 30.2;
Los Angeles, 35.4: New York, 231,
and Philadelphia, Alt.
Cities between 100000 and 1000.-
000-Washington, 1881; Baltimore,
1913; Boston. 210; Cleveland. 25.3:
st. Louis, 1873; San Francisco, PAS,
and Pittsburgh. 2l3.
Cities between $4,000 and 5OO.-
000-Atlanta, 1925; Birmingham.
1923; Dallas, 1416; Memphis, 1863,
and New Orleans, 1898.
DR.. Vonderlehr pointed out in his
report that the disease rate is excess
sive among the colored population.
adding that in 20 States and the
District of Columbia the rate for the
colored race is in excess of 10 times
that for the white race.
Washington officials said that in
addition to the comparatively high
percentage of colored population
here, the transient nature of rela-
lively large portion of the popula ton
and the influx of new residents since
the draft program began are factors
to be considered in comparing
disease rates of the District with
other municipalities.
The District Health Department,
has been operating two principal
free clinics for treatment of venerea,
disease patients, but they are ir
operation only 18 out of a possible
80 clinic sessions per week. DR.

has asked that the new appropria-
ton for the Health Department pro-
vide for an increase in the number

ports from Army and Navy officials
had been received describing diff

priority ratings for such deliveries.
Four Months Required.
Transition from the present sys-
tenn, in which manufacturers are
issued preference ratings and then
left to compete with holders of
other ratings in obtaining supplies
is expected to require at least four
months. Under the ALLEGATIONS
plan o. P M will check available
supplies of steel and then simply
notify the producers to whom they
are to make shipments and in what
! quantities.
