Flu Epidemic
Threatened
Scientists Insist
Situotion Serious

ATLANTIC CITY. n. J.-Three
St Louis. No. research scientists
have forecast an influenza
epidemic this winter which may be
as severe and widespread as that
OF 1918 and 1919.
DR.. Joseph F. Bredeok, DIR. S.
Edward Sulkin and DIR. David
Douglas. all members Of the st.
Louis health division. told the
American Public Health associa-
ton convention of symptoms re-
sembling those which preceded the
World war outbreak.
They reminded the delegates Of
the minor wave Of flu which
moved eastward from the west
coast a year ago. and stressed the
possibility that the flu-csusing
virus gained strength during its
dormant period in the summer.
Emphasizing that they were
not trying to throw scare" into
citizens they said that control
methods were handicapped by the
concentration of more than ,500,-
900 men in training camps.
The scientists said that an en-
couraeing factor is the develop
ment Of new techniques and labo-
ratory facilities which should hold
the number of deaths far below
those Of 1918 and 1919.
