Dr.. Charles ". Stiles,
Noted Surgeon, Dies;
Expert on Hookworm
fought Scientists
And the Rockefeller
Foundation on Issue

DIR. Charles Wardell Stiles, dis
coverer of the parasite hookworm
and former surgeon general of the
United States Public Health Service,
died yesterday at the Marine Hos
pital, Baltimore. according to word
received here today.
DR.. stiles, who was IA, entered
the hospital in october for treat
ment of a cardiac condition. He
had made his home at 3218 Cleve-
land avenue for the last 10 years,
and in Washington for the greater
part of his life.
His widow, Mrs. Virginia Stiles,
and daughter, Mrs. Fades johnson
Of MorristoWn, N. j., survive.
Had to Fight Profession.
DR.. Stiles career was the familiar
one of man of science who must
fight other scientists to be believed
with almost the same vigor that he
has fought disease to make his dis
covery.
At the turn of the century he was
subjected to much ridicule on the
part of the medical profession when
he isolated the hookworm parasite
as being responsible for appalling
mortality in Southern States. Not
until 1903 was his work begun to
be comprehended by other men Of
research and in that year John D.
Rockefeller contributed $1,000,000
for the furtherance of hookWorm
studies and treatment.
Then, in 1882, year after he
had retired from the Public Health
Service, he found himself forced to
wage war with the Rockefeller
Foundation when the latter re-
ported that hookworm had been vir-
tually conquered.
HookwOrm Claims Denied.
In disputing the claim of the
foundation, DR.. Stiles asserted pub
licly in that year that hookworm
was still prevalent in 80 per cent of
the children of the hookworm area
and that the report of the founda-
ton not only was false but had re-
suited in dangerous apathy to the
disease in the Southern States.
Il tried hard to settle the matter
without openly challenging the
Rockefeller scientists" DR.. Stiles
said at that time. But there seems
no other way but to come out in
the open with it. I have been re-
tired from the Government service
for physical disability. I am no
longer associated with any organiza-
ton. I am a free agent at last
and have decided to devote a part
of my remaining years to doing
something for the hook-worm vic
tins"
Since that time, he had followed
up his promise by lecturing at Rol-
Inns College, Winter Park, Fla, where
he had spent his winters.
Native of New York.
Born in Spring Valley, N. Y. DR.
Stiles was the son of the Rev. Sam

families.

pointed Undersecretary Of Education
in the cabinet and on July he
became Minister of Culture in the
pro-Nazi cabinet of Ion Gigurtu.
Turned Against Carol.
Four days later he quit the cabinet,
along with three other Iron Guard
lists in an effort to enforce a guard
demand for a cabinet made up
solely of members of their party.
The Gigurtu cabinet collapsed as
result.
Then. swiftly Sima seemed to have
undergone complete change, turn
ing against Carol so furiously that
Balkan reports said it was at his
insistence alone that Gen. Anton
escu held out for Carols abdication
last September. Thousands of Iron
Guards standing outside the palace
and screaming abuse at Carol ap-
parently helped the monarch make
up his mind
Sima became Vice Premier Sep
tember Is. Late in November the
green-shirted guardists began a
reign Of terror to avenge the deaths
of Corneliu Codreanu and other
guardists two years before, and
scores of men prominent in Carols
regimes were slain.
Three Factions in Party.
The party split into three factions
and Sima was reported to be the
leader of the faction calling for
discipline. Ion Codreanu led the
second faction. The third, said to
have been far the largest, was
described as completely out of con-
troll, looting and paying of personal
scores under the protection of the
Green Shirts.
On December Sima abolished the
Iron Guard police organization
which played a leading role in the
blood purge and took stern stand
against disreputable members.
Now it appears he was in charge
of violent faction himself. At
least the Antonescu government
blames him for this weeks bloody
revolt. But the explanation for this
seeming switch is veiled in the mists
of censorship.
One Of Sima's first acts after
becoming Minister of Culture last
July was to prohibit Jewish actors
and musicians from performing In
public.

Simo, Iron Guard Chief, Noted
For His Many Changes of F Front
Hunted by Carol in 1888 and 1889, He
Returned to Become Vice Premier
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The career
Of Horia Sima. 40-year-old fuehrer
of Rumania's pro-Nazi Iron Guard,
has made the full turn of the wheel.
He was hunted into exile by for
mer King Carol during the bloody
feud in 1888 and 1899 in which $500
Iron Guardsmen were executed,
but returned and became vice
premier after helping Chief of
State Gen. Ion Antonescu force
Carols abdication.
Now he is reported captured by
troops sent out by Gen. Antonescu's S
government, which brands him the
leader of the violent revolt which
has held Rumania in a grip Of ter
ror all week.
Just what took place to bring
about this turn of the wheel is not
yet known. Up to the beginning
of this week he had been regarded
in neutral quarters as the heir-ap-
parent to Gen. Antonescu's post.
But Sima, who looks more like a
poet than the leader of a totalitar-
ian party, has changed fronts be-
fore
Captured on Return.
After spending some time in eX-
lie in Germany following Carols
purge of the guard, Sima attempted
to sneak back into Rumania on
May 19, 1910, but was captured. He
was released from prison not long
after and on June 10 was received
in informal audience by King Carol.
Four days later he issued COM
mand to my comrades" presumably
all legionnaireS of the guard, to join
King Carols new political party.
The first name on the list of those
applying for membership was that
of Ion Codreanu, father Of Corneliu
Codreanu, previous leader OF the
guard who was slain in prison.
The Kings new party will enable
us to face the future" Sima declared
then.
On June %. only nine days after
his visit to Carol, Sima was ap-

rifles and captured tanks to attack
the telephone building. army head
quarters and the radio station,
from which they gave out the order
to seize soldiers. They even put
themselves in military uniform. In
many cities of the nation similar
things occurred.
by my order, the army never
attacked during the first two days
of the rebellion, but only defended
itself.
The wretches who got the Iron
Guard to serve foreign interests and
the vagabonds who fell do not de-
serve a better fate. But young,
correct people have fallen for a
false belief.
THE severest punishments are
deserved by those who sent to death
the innocents, by those who betrayed
their followers and who led them
into this mad enterprise in loosing
anarchy and hate, only to abandon
them when the fight had begun"
The Council of Ministers, in its
own resume of the fighting. said it
was impossible to estimate the num-
ber of casualties in this week of civil
strife.
The army, with tanks, is securing
Bucharest section by section In their
search for rebel leaders.
Thousands of guardsmen who had
been given state jobs after the alb
dication of King Carol II chose to
remain in hiding and lose their
posts rather than appear to face
arrest and punishment.
Gen. Antonescu had given them
until tonight to appear or be crossed
off the pay roll.
Arms Depot Surrendered.
A person attached to the govern
ment said 900 Guardists finally were
forced to surrender a munition de-
pot they had held for days when the
army opened water mains to flood
the basement in which they we're
hiding.
A government announcement said
"true Iron Guardists" who took part
in the rebellion would know how
"to punish themselves" but added
that the government would see to it
that bad Guardists would be made
to pay for their rouble-making."
The formation of new national
political party was announced.
The army took over the Iron
Guard church, from which all the
movements martyrs have been
buried, and barred the entrance.
The government announced the
dead who had tried to destroy
Rumania." must be buried in a Sec
ton for those without honors."
Thousands of Guardists who held
the posts of Rumanian commisSarS,
which were abolished last week, were
ordered to make full reports Of their
activities or face prosecution.
