Parran Reports Epidemic
OF tuberculosis in Europe

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 13.-The war has
brought tuberculosis to the "epi-
demic" stage in NaZi- occupied
Europe and has accelerated exposure
to the disease in this country, Surg.
Gen. Thomas Parran of the United
States Public Health Service said
yesterday.
He asserted that in more than
half the United States, the followup
of men rejected by the armed forces
because of tuberculosis has not been
good, largely because available re-
sources in personnel and facilities
in health departments are not ade-
quate for the task"
Addressing the National Tubercu-
losiS Association, DR.. Parran said:
tuberculosis is raging with epi-
.demic force in the conquered coun-
tries OF Europe, and, although no
Nationwide increase has as vet oc-
Cured In the United States, the in
Grease in certain parts of the country
indicates that rise may occur"
The expansion of industry, with
is accompanying increase OF women,
older men and under-draft-age
boys, has accelerated exposure In

Reds Battle FierceIy
To Retain Bridgehead
On Dnestr at TiraspoI
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 13.-Russian
and German troops were locked
in a fierce struggle on the west
bank of the Dnestr River north
west of Tiraspol today, with the
Germans hurting strong forces
against the Soviet in an attempt
to wipe out the bridgehead.
A Russian communique said that
in two days of fighting 1000 Ger
man soldiers and 100 tanks had
been knocked out by Soviet troops
defending the bridgehead which
provides the Russians with a poten-
tial jumping off place for another
big push westward.
Announcing that the last rem
nants of Axis forces trapped on
the Crimean Peninsula west of
fallen Sevastopol had been elimi-
mated, the Soviet information bu-
reau in broadcast recorded by the
Soviet monitor, said that in the five
week Crimean campaign 111,687
German and Rumanian troops we're
killed or captured.
191 Axis Ships Sunk.
In addition, the broadcast said,
Russian planes and ships of the
Black Sea fleet sank a total of 191
Axis ships, including 50 transports
and high-speed landing barges
which the enemy was using for
evacuating their trapped forces,
adding greatly to Axis casualties.
The information bureau reported
that 10000 Germans and Roman
ians were killed in the final three
day assault which toppled Sevasto-
pol last Tuesday, and that more
than $4,000 were killed in the over
all campaign which began April 8.
In addition to the Axis troops
killed, 6l,687 were captured along
with huge piles of military supplies,
the announcement said.
Reds Call for Support.
A Soviet communique said Red
Army troops fighting on the lower
Dnestr bridgehead were being at
tackled by numerically superior en-
emy forces and had been forced to
call for support from Russian war
planes. The communique declared
the enemy did not achieve any sue
cess, although suffering heavy losses
in men"
The German high command
claimed, however, that Nazi troops
had smashed the bridgehead, which
was established last month, dis
persing seven Russian rifle divisions
and parts of one artillery and anti
aircraft division.
Elsewhere on the long Eastern
front there were no essential
changes, the Russians said.
