Wlde W0TlQ'
The use of bacteria as a weapon
OF war to carry death to an enemy
was described today as fantastic.
An Army Medical Corps expert,
Mai. Leon A. Fox, declared that the
dangers in using bacteria against
an enemy more than offset any
advantages. Most bacteria are diff
cult to handle and cannot survive
long under adverse conditions.
No germ known could survive the
intense heat generated when a shell
is fired from a gun or eXplodes on
striking an objective.
Writing in the Military Surgeon,
official journal of the Association
of Military Surgeons, Maj. Fox de-
clared:
That the effects of bacterial in
Jury cannot be limited or localized
to any area modern water purifl-
cation methods protect most areas
against typhoid and cholera; plague
is a disease that would be as dam
serous for the force using the Or
eanisms as for those attacked; the
danger from typhus has been grossly
exaggerated and modern sanitary
precautions are effective in control
ling most communicable diseases.
Germs Respect No Insignia.
ANY consideration OF the dellb-
crate use of disease organisms as
means of warfare will have to con-
slider the question Of how to pro-
duce a destructive epidemic in the
forces of an opponent and at the
same time protect ones own forces
from invasion by the virulent Or
ganisms in question: he declared.
Certainly at the present time we
know of no disease-producing micro
organisms that will respect uniform
or insignia.
Taking the various diseases in or
der, DR.. Fox pointed out that while
typhoid. cholera and dysentery have
been familiar scourges Of both
armies and civilian populations in
the past, modern sanitation meas
ures and immunization have prac-
tically wiped them out as weapons
Of warfare
1t might be possible to contami-
nate a civilian water reservoir, he
added, but the effect would be purely
local. and it would be almost i'm
possible to contaminate the water
or milk supply of any large army
unit.
The germs of these diseases are
with us all the time, anu the only
reason We do not have epidemics
Is that we are either vaccinated
against them or are protected by
such public health measures as
pasteurized milk and filtered or
chlorinated water.
Water Supply Watched Closely.
Infection Of military units with
these diseases would probably

Infect Wrong Side, Doctor Says

prove entirely ineffective because
modern water publication methods
and the close supervision of the
water supply will absolutely pre-
clude the successful employment of
this means of combat" DR.. Fox de-
clared.
Smallpox is no problem in the
bacterial warfare picture since
every man in the armed forces not
previously immunized is vaccinated
on induction. just as he is immu-
nized against typhoid fever.
Epidemics of influenza, the COM
mon cold, pneumonia and menin-
gifts have been mentioned in scare
stories" of the dangers OF bacteria
in wartime, he added, but again
these are germs and vi;uses which
are always with us.
Il do not know of bacteriologist
or an epidemiologist who can tell
you how to start a respiratory cpl
demic," he said, unless the stage
Evening star., 1942-05-18

tiny organism which causes cpl
demic meningitis is so small and
delicate that it must be handled
carefully under carefully controlled
conditions and then must be intro
duced directly to the mucous mem
branes of the nose or throat.
Bubonic plague has often been
mentioned as war pestilence,
which it has often been in the past.
but it is a weapon with a reverse
spin since infected rats set loose on
an enemy would quickly infect the
army which started it in motion.
Likewise typhus, transmitted from
rats to men by the body louise, would
promptly bounce back on the army
Evening star., 1942-05-18

gangrene, new drugs and treatments
have removed the dread Of this dis
ease, and even If retiring army
sowed the battlefield with these
germs it would have little effect on
an invading army.
Infection of wounds with anthrax
is practically unknown, and human
epidemic anthrax is unknown since
the days of Louis Pasteur, who first
investigated the disease, DR.. Fox
declared.
1t is OF course possible. he added,
to use such materials as the toxin
of the bacillus botulinus. the most
deadly substance known to man. one
drop of which would be enough to

which used it when the first prisoner
carrying one disease-infected body
louise mingled with his captors.
The tough, spore-forming germs
such as those which cause tetanus,
gas gangrene and anthrax are the
greatest problem in warfare, DR.. Fox
declared, but they do not produce
epidemic diseases and they are not
communicable"
Tetanus germs are present in the
soil in incalculable numbers, he
added, but today serum is available
to combat it before infection occurs.
Can't Spread Toxins by Plane.
In the case of infection with the
bacillus welchii, which causes gas

hours If taken In food. injected, or
even dropped into the nose or
throat.
However, 1t is difficult to make,
difficult to handle, and its use
against troops is almost an impossi-
bility with the strict regulations and
inspections imposed.
Such statements as an airplane
destroying an entire city with toxins
Is ridiculous" DR.. Fox said.
Il consider that 1t is highly ques-
tiohable If biologic agents are suited
for warfare Certainly at the pres
ent time practically insurmountable
Evening star., 1942-05-18

is especially set" by poor hygienic
conditions, overcrowding, poor VEN
tilation and exposure to unfavor-
able climatic conditions or other
factors which decrease resistance.
Wnen such conditions exist, as
they do now on the Russian
front, disease outbreaks are certain
to occur and kill or incapacitate
more men on both sides than bull
lets.
Meningitis Organism Delicate.
Not enough is known about the
viruses Of the common cold or in
fluenza to handle them as a war
weapon, Dr. Fox declared, and the
