The physicians predicted that
through the use of terramycin
and the companion drugs chloro-
mycetin and aureomycin, "mor-

be practically eradicated."
The report said that previous
experience with Rocky Mountain

that the disease had a fatality
rate of about 81 per cent. The
acute fever stage previously had
an average duration of Is days

Under terramycin treatment, the
average fever period dropped to
two and a half days.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
occurs in endemic forms through

It is principally found in the

IP.-Western Europe last year
sold more than twice as much ma
chinery to Russia and its satel-
lites as in 1948, the United Ma
tions Economic Commission for
Europe disclosed yesterday.
During the same period, United
States machinery shipments to
Soviet-ruled Europe dropped by
more than SO per cent.
The figures were published in
detailed analysis of the Euro
tpean engineering industry and
showed sharp increases in ma
chinery sales through the Iron
Curtain during the past three
years by every industrial country
receiving aid under the European
Recovery Program. The increases
were most marked in Western
Germany, the United Kingdom
and the Benelux countries.
The report showed, however
that West European machinery
exports to the Soviet bloc were
beginning to level off in 1850 and
constituted only 5 per cent OF
Western Europe's total machinery
shipments to all countries.
Nevertheless, the OEEC coun-
tries sold $232 million worth OF
machinery. transport equipment
and automobiles to the Comm
form countries in 1850, an in
crease of $117.6 million over 194s
and of SAB million over 1949.
United States sales of these
