He labeled the argument of the

Gave Four Ratings.
Rating the health of each State
as excellent, good, fair or poor. DR.
Dublin said his ratings were based
on the following pertinent" con.
ditions:
The general death rate, the in
FAINT mortality rate, the death rate
from tuberculosis, the rejection

physicians in active practice anc
of hospital beds to the population
DR.. Riley said DR.. Dublin's articl,
gave no details of the method EN-.
ployed in reaching his conclusions
nor any indication of dates wher
the material was gathered.
"The progress we have made II

Dublin implies he investigated tx

Death Rate Decreases.
In 1906, Maryland's general deatl

in Maryland was 228.6 per 1000 lv,

Investigation Sought
OF Strange Disease
Killing Oysters, Fowl

The Fish and Wildlife Service has
been asked to launch an investiga-
tion into a mysterious disease which
H. Allen Dawson, Anne Arundel
County president of the Mayo
Watermans League, said Is killing
large numbers of oysters, ducks,
geese and seagulls in the Chesa-
peake area.
He said the bay oyster supply is
threatened with extinction, and
that he has observed quantities of
dead water fowl on the shores and
floating in the waters.
Mr.. Dawson said he believes the
disease, whatever it is, may creep
up the rivers and tributaries which
drain into the bay.
Mr.. Dawson appealed to Senator
Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland, to
support an investigation of the
matter.
Last summer quantities of rock
fish were found dead in the bay.
An investigation failed to determine
the cause of their death.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press
reports from Richmond that inten-
sive oyster rehabilitation work, con-
struction of a new fisheries labora-
tory, and oyerhauling Of Virginia g
seafood laws are among recommen-
datiens proposed to Gov. Darden
by the Advisory Committee OF the
Virginia Fisheries Laboratory as q
means of restoring the States sea-
food resources.
The report also proposed revision
of tax arrangements and reiuveIla-
ton of fisheries police operations.
The advisory group advocated
planting of at least 1000 900 bushels
of oyster shells annually to rehabil-
itate depleted public rocks and to
increase the States seed beds. These
shells should be apportloned among
oyster areas of the James, York
Rappahannock and Potomac Riv-
ers, Mobjack Bay, Great Wicomicc
and seaside and western shores OF
Accomack and Northampton Coun-
ties. the group advised. --,.
In the oyster field, the committee
also recommends increased appro-
priations by the General Assembly

climate in that part of the world is
extremely dry and the winds are of
tremendous force. Our old barracks
was hazy with dust day and night
To combat it we began sprinkling
the floors twice day, and this
proved disastrous to Gen. King.
One night Jap guard came into
our room to check up on us just
after we had wet down the floor. As
we jumped up and started for our
appointed places at the foot of our
sleeping bench, Gen. King slipped
and fell heavily on his right hip
hurting himself so badly that it was
with the greatest difficulty he was
able to get back to his feet. I at
once called two American doctors In
the barracks. They decided after a
preliminary examination that King
had either fractured his hip or seri-

ously torn its ligaments. They made
him as comfortable as they could
for the night.
The next day an American med
ical officer, and an Australian and a
Dutch doctor, gave him a more
thorough examination, all wishing
aloud that they had an X-ray. They
decided that he had fractured either
the head OF the femur or possibly
that part of the pelvis in which the
femur articulates. They managed
to beg a ring splint from the Jap
hospital and fitted him up as best
as they could, but the best was far
from comfortable on that short
hard bed.

King had to be carried to the train

But there in our barren car, to our
eternal joy, were 288 American Red
Cross packages, only the second
batch we had received since our
captivity began 81 months before.
We placed Gen. Kings litter over
the backs Of two of the train seats
and dreamed of the time when the
Japs would condescend to let us
open our packages.
