Facts About Rabies

Rabies is a virus disease that
affects the brain and central nerv-
GUS system. 1t is transmitted by
direct contact, nearly always
through the bite of an infected ami
NAL. Human beings and all warm
blooded animals are susceptible to
it. There are ways of preventing
it, by vaccination before exposure
or by treatment Immediately after
exposure to the virus, but once an
animal or person actually develops
rabies, there is nothing that can be
done to prevent death-no medical
treatment of any kind.

For Admitting Hawaii

by me Asseeiossd Press

Secretary of Interior Chapman
told q Senate committee today
there is no valid reason why
Hawaii should not be admitted to

In strongly worded statemens.
Mr.. Chapman branded as non
sense" the claim that the islands
should be denied Statehood be-
cause Of reports they are a hot bed
Of communism.
The granting Of Statehood to
Hawaii can be q very real contri-
button to our fight against COM
munism, fight in which the peo-
pie Of Hawaii join" Secretary
Chapman asserted.
The cabinet member was the
first witness as the Senate Com
mittee on Interior and Insular AT
fairs began a hearing on the
House passed, administrations
backed bill to grant Statehood to
Hawaii.
Two years ago. in the Repub-
lican-controlled 80th Congress,
the same committee refused to
bring the bill to a Senate vote
The stumbling block then was a
charge by Senator Butler. Repub-
lican. Of Nebraska. then committee
chairman and now ranking minor
ity member. that Communists
were in a position to exert dan
gerous influences on the political
and economic life of Hawaii.
Nearly so Hawaiians flew 5000
miles to be on hand if needed to
convince the committee that
Hawaii, after so years of tutelage,
is fully ready to take its place
among the States. The last con-
tingent of more than 80 arrived
last night by special plane.
Their plea is supported by
President Truman. who five times
has asked Congress to let Hawaii
