Curb on Hospital Visitors
|Urqed to Ease Strain on Stuffs

'There also is the risk of carry
ing infection to patients whose re-
sistance already Is lowered by reason
of whatever illness brought them to
the hospital. Patients need rest and
quiet to recover from the strain
and shock they have undergone dur
ing their Illness"
In support Of the announced move
to curtail visits, by adoption of a
uniform rule, the Health Depart
ment announcement quoted five
hospital ofncials, without giving
their names, as to the need. A de-
partment spokesman said these quo
tations were taken from letters re-
ceived by the health officer.
One hospital superintendent
wrote: Neither the patients them
selves nor the visitors realize the
importance of rest and quiet" An
other said, "Curtailed visits should
be . standard regulation adopted by
all the hospitals In the District"

Ex.King Carol Sought
As Detroit Trial Witness
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Nov. 19.-Counsel for
two Rumanian Orthodox priests
charged with espionage and failure
to register as representatives of a
foreign power said today an attempt
would be made to bring former King
Carol of Rumania to Detroit as q
witness at their trial.
L. Meyron Marko, the attorney
pointed out that Carol in a state
ment at Mexico City had asserted
the indictment of the priests was
based on the lowest of intrigues."
The indicted priests are Father
Glighaerie Moraru, named as head
Of Free Rumania" movement, and
Father Stephan Opreanu. Federal
officials said their activities involved
promotion of Carol as head of a
government-in-exile in this coun-
try, an action which would release
large impounded stocks of Ruman-
ian gold
A third defendant, George Zamfir
editor of Rumanian publications
here, pleaded innocent on arraien-
ment Wednesday. His bond was set
at $4,000, the same as the bonds

The United States received re-

Spain, reported this week to have
undertaken partial mobilization
OF her armed forces, will continue
to maintain absolute neutrality.
Secretary of State Hull disclosed
in press conference that this as
surance was delivered by Spanish
Ambassador Juan Francisco de Car

of State Welles.
He said the Ambassador reiter-
ated the attitude of his government
as one of absolute neutrality. He
added that this did not result from
any inquiry by this government.

the United States that Spain's mo-

Jap Warships Trying
To Relieve Buna
Our Ground Forces Push
To Within rs Miles

BY C. YATES MCDANIEL,

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Nov. 19.-
American heavy bombers hunted
through spotty weather today for
a japanese destroyer force off
the New Guinea coast near Buna,
while Allied ground forces closed
within Is miles of that Papuan
beachhead.
Reports from New Guinea did not
indicate what job may have been
assigned to the eight destroyers de-
ploying off Buna, although the noon
communique said they apparently
planned to aid the Jap ground
forces, which are = being pinned
against the coast.
Observers recalled that in past
operations the enemy generally has
tried to hold positions rather than
attempt naval evacuation when
hard pressed.
U. S. Bombers Press Attacks.
A notable exception, however, was
the entrance of similar destroyer
squadron into Milne Bay on the
southeastern tip of New Guinea last
September when some remnants of
their trapped and battered landing
force were taken off at night.
While the American and Austria
lian jungle fighters pushed cautious
ly forward against little or no or
gan1zed resistance outside Buna,
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's airmen
hit the enemy hard and often
throughout the Southwestern Paci-
flc theater.
American medium bombers con-
tinued their daily, destructive sweeps
over the enemys steadily shrinking
coastal foothold around Buna,
bombing troop positions and install
lations.
Jap Bases Raided.
The United States B-25s teamed
with Australian Beauhghters to re-
new the attacks on Lac and Sala-
maua, Japanese bases farther to the
northwest of the New Guinea coast
from which the beleaguered Buna
garrison might be reinforced.
Australian-fown American Hud-
sons struck at Baucau on Tinaor, far
to the northwest, and attack planes
made a strafing sweep over Mao
bisse on the same island. Heavy
and medium bombers paid destruc-
tive calls on enemy airdromes on
New Britain, the big fellows smack
ing at much bombed Rabaul and
the mediums taking Gasmata as
their target.

Russians Take initiative
In StoIinqrod and Caucasus

MOSCOW, Nov. 10 (R).-Extending
their job of bleeding and blocking
the German armies, the Russians
have taken the initiative in Stalin-
grad and in the Caucasus, today's
battle reports showed.
The midday communlque reported
no major changes anywhere, but
said that during the night "our
troops launched active operations
and captured several enemy forti-
f1cations" in Southern Stalingrad.
A Red Army unit also was cred
tied with a fighting reconnaissance
northwest of the city in which en-
emy trenches were broken into, 60
Germans killed and others captured
In factory area of the staunch
Volga stronghold, wrapped for two
days in fog, the Germans returned
to the attack during the night, but
were driven back with 200 killed, the
latest reports said.
Reds Gain Northeast of Tuapse.
Soviet troops also were reported
in active operations which scored
some advance northeast of Tuapse
along the Black Sea coast in the
Western Caucasus, while 300 of the
enemy were said to have been killed
In an artillery-supported infantry
attack southeast of Nalchik in the
mid-Caucasus.
The defenders also struck out in
the factory area at Stalingrad yes
terday, occupied several invader
strongpoints and killed 600, the
Soviet midnight communique said.
For the last week the Germans
had been attacking again and again
on a narrow front in this area, try
ing to break through to the Volga
and secure winter quarters, but, al
though they had paid with thou
sands of lives, they had gained only
a few yards.
"a Berlin broadcast last night
reported that italian soldiers on
the Russian front already were
established in winter positions
along the Don River. It said
that this winter would find the
Germans and their allies much
better prepared in Russia than
they were last winter.)
Nazis Attack at Mozdok.
The Russians reported the Ger
mans beaten back in an attack in
the Northern Stalingrad area while
northwest of the city Soviet troops
consolidated their positions.
In renewed thrusts in the Mozdok
area yesterday, in the mid -Causasus,
the Germans attacked behind q
spearhead of so tanks but lost II of
these and were thrown back, the
Russians said. They reported fight
ing still was continuing there last
night with Red lines holding.

units raided a community held by

"Those who we're not strong passed
out imediately and died."
DR.. Evans expressed the belief
that the eggs, obtained from the
Federal Surplus Commodities Corp,
contained some poison, or were toxic
because of some chemical reaction.
L. E. Barrick, Marion County
coroner, called for an immediate in
vestigation.
All the deaths, 38 men and
women, occurred in four wards. In
mates of fifth were ill, DR.. Evans
said, but an attendant there tasted
the eggs before they were served
and allowed only a small amount to
be eaten.
In Washington, Dr. P. B. Dunbar
assistant chief of the Federal Food
and Drug Administration, said food
inspectors and chemists from his
agency would be sent to cooperate

up on the sources of the frozen eggs
so that steps might be taken to pre-.
