tuberculosis Found
In Seven Household
Aides Of 355 Tested
Most Were in 20-to-45
Age Group. Diagnosis
Compoien DiscIoses

Seven household workers of the
355 given chest x-ray examinations
during the early diagnosis campaign
were found to have active tubercu-
losis infections, Harald H. Lund,
executive secretary of the District
tuberculosis Association, which
sponsored the campaign, reported
today.
tuberculosis was also discovered
in 7-year-old child, brought to a
clinic by a maid who had come to
be X-rayed. This was the only
child examined since the campaign
was directed at adult workers in
household service on a voluntary
basis.
In all cases where tuberculosis
was found it was in early stages,
where favorable treatment and cure
can be expected, Mr.. Lund said.
None of the persons found to have
tuberculosis was aware that they had
contracted the disease.
20 to As Year Group.
The majority of those examined
were in the age group from 20 to As
years, the period of life in which
tuberculosis is leading cause of
death, DR.. j. Winthrop Peabody,
president of the District Tubercu-
losis Association. said.
THE fact that the persons exam
ined were household workers and
were for the most part in a particu-
larly susceptible age group accounts
for the high rate of 1877 cases for
every 100 persons examined" he
said.
THE usual rate in mass X-rays,
where many age groups and many
occupations are represented, is one
case per 100 examined. The project
just completed therefore bears out
the contention of many health au-
thorities that persons employed in
household work are in age and in
come groups where tuberculosis is
present to an unusually high degree"
Hospitals in Campaign.
The hospitals and clinics partici-
pating in the campaign. which had
the Endorsement of the District
Medical Society, Medico-C Chirurgical
Society and the Health Department,
were Emergency, Freedmens, Gar

Democratic leaders asked the
House today for speedy approval of
Senate amendments to the admin
istration's ship-seizure bill, in an ef-
fort to dispatch 1t to President
Roosevelt before the week end.
With one exception, the House
seemed disposed to accept with little
debate half a dozen minor amend
ments attached to the measure when
the Senate passed it SO to 20 yester-
day.
Chairman Bland of the. Merchant
Marine Committee said, however
that he wished to inquire into a
Senate amendment forbidding the
United States to take over, except by
purchase, any of the SO idle foreign
vessels in American ports if they are
government owned
The Maritime Commission has
said that so far as it knew all of
the ships, which President Roosevelt
proposes to take over for defense
purposes, are owned by nationals of
foreign governments.
Under the bill, the President would
be empowered to requisition, pur-
chase, charter or take title to the
ships-including IA French, % Ital-
ION ond Q Garr1on uaccolc npd ,,co
or dispose of them as he saw fit.
Owners would be compensated.
The Senate defeated, 43 to 38. an
amendment which would have bar
red transfer of any of the Axis ships
to England. However, administra-
ton officials have said they intended
to use all 83 ships in trade with
South America and on intercoastal
routes.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan who. with Senator
Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, offered
the amendment to prohibit transfer
of ships from one belIgerent to an
other, said such a step would be a
needless provocative step to war"
Without the amendment, Senator
Clark called the bill illegal and
immoral"
George Opposes Amendment.
Chairman George of the Foreign
Relations Committee, opposing the
amendment, said all the ships
should be handled alike and added:
THE necessity for use of these
ships now is substantially the same
as if there had been a formal decla-
ration of war between the United
States and the Axis powers because
failure to move manufactured prod
ucts away from our ports means
stagnation of our industries"

acquired by this country under the
legislation approved yesterday are ::
