Low Disease Rate,
Good Medical Care
Cited in Korea Report

The Pentagon today got a re-
port of life-saving medical care
and a low rate of communicable
diseases in Korea.
Comdr. Howard A. johnson
surgeon of the 1st Marine Divi-
sion, attributed the low disease
rate in his division to preventive
medicine.
DR.. johnson came to Washing
ton to report to the Navy Surgeon
General on medical activities with
the Marines in the field. He i.
also to receive a Gold Star in lier
Iof a second Bronze Star for hi
work in Korea.
For the period from January tc
July, he reported the division hac
only one case of louse-borne
|typhus and two mild cases o1
smallpox. All recovered. He
said there were five cases of in
fantile paralysis during one short
period and these Marines were
promptly evacuated to rear sta
tions. He said he had no record
of the outcome.
Talking with newsmen at the
Pentagon, DR.. Johnson said that
despite field and weather condi-
tions, the medical contingents
were able to perform at the front
in such way that many Marines,
who under ordinary battle condi-
tions in the past would have died,
were cured. Many lives were
saved, he added, because field sta
tions were able to provide prompt
surgery for abdominal wounds.
Last June, DR.. johnson report
ed, 1,500 Marines were returned to
duty direct from medical units,
which he believed to be unprece-
dented. During five months in
which 5000 casualties were
treated, he said, 5000 were re-
turned to duty.
