DISEASES BORNE BY AIR TRAVEL
 SEEN NO THREAT
By DENNIS DALTON United Press Staff Correspondent

Unltcu ffc9S StAIk COtteSpOuoenG
 Cleveland, April T. CUP)--Ameri- cans need have no fear of contagious diseases brought to this country by ocean liners and air travel after the war, according to Dr. James A. Doull, medical consultant for the United Nations Relief and Rehabili- tation Administration.
 Dr. Douil, professor of hygiene and public health at Western Re- serve University here. said the United States has adequate means of controlling cholera, yellow fever, typhus fever, smallpox and other diseases that can be carried in in- ternational trafic.
 Danger to the Orient
 However, he said that in other nations, particularly India and the Orient, the transmission of yellow fever presents the greatest danger because millions of people in those areas have never been exposed to the disease and therefore have not built up any immunity.
 Eighteen of the United Nations have signed and placed in effect for the next two years the Inter- national Sanitary Conventions oi 1914 amending the International Sanitary Convention of 1926 and the International Convention fol Aerial Navigation of 1883, he said The signature of the United States must be ratified by the Senate.
 Dr. Doull, who was sent to Lon- don by UNRRA year ago to or- ganize the committee of experts to draft the convention in their new form, said one of the important achievements was a small pocket size book of standard vaccination certificates to be carried by pas sengers and crews to certify their status as protected against various diseases.
 International Book"
 The aim is to have all travel agencies provide prospective trav- elers 8 book of international cer- tificates of inoculation' against cholera, yellow fever, typhus. and "certifcates of vaccination" against smallpox and other contagious, pr Doull said.
 He pointed out, however, thai the amended conventions just signed will expire in two years and it is hoped that before the expira- tion of that period, either the Inter- national Of1ce of Public Health ir Paris will resume its pre-war func. tions or possibly a new international agency will be agreed upon
 Dr. Doull said that although large numbers of yellow fever mosquitoes breed close to the borders of the United States, this country is moi endangered because we have em- fective control measures.

Amendments Top Docket
By R. H. SHACKFORD

Washington, April 7-UP)-The stage was set today for the U. S. delegation to the San Francisco conference to begin considering the eight amendments to the Dunbar ton Oaks plan offered by Sen. Ar- thur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich.
 Shortly after preliminary meet ing of international jurists opens Monday morning, Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr, will begin 10 days of almost continuous skull" sessions with the other six Ameri- can delegates.
 The objective will be to reach m agreement among the delegates ou the various issues which will re- quire American decisions at the conference which begins April 25
 Steetinius left the door open for possible U. s. amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks plan by telling 8 news conference yesterday that any nation-even those who framed the proposals for world organization would be free at San Francisco to offer amendments.
 A few hours later, in an address in New York, he revealed one ar- gument he could present to Van denberg to withdraw one of his amendments.
 Vandenberg submitted eight amendments to the State Depart ment shortly after accepting mem bership' on the delegation. One of them suggests that specific provi- sion should be made for revision of treaties (such as the one that will be signed at the end of this war) or wartime settlements like the one on the Polish boundary. Vanden- berg feels that only in this way can injuStices be eliminated.

 the world? I would like to be able to tell you that the private radio transmitter you had built here for broadcasting on week-ends was still in good condition. Unfortun- ately, it wasn't working when we arrived, so we tore 1t down for various spare parts useful with our transmitter.
 Generally speaking, your castle is in excellent shape. can't say as much for your birthplace in Rheydt itself. All of Rheydt is pretty well beaten up-like most German cities where there has been any fighting. So far as l could see, your castle suffered only one small hole through the roof and floor of one of the second floor bedrooms.
 Your libary is okay. I was somewhat surprised to find that all of the books were merely dec- oration, since one could see that they had obviously never been thumbed through. This is perhaps explained by the fact that the books are pretty mediocre col lection, probably sent to you by second rate publishers trying tc get in some good will.
 Your art collection, on the other hand, looks pretty valuable. Il
