WhOOping Cough
Not Big Killer
Now AS In Past

WhOoping cough, which once took
many children's lives every year, is
being brought under control by
modern medicine.
In 1915, about $4,000 people in
this country, mostly children, died
from this virus-caused disease. In
1850, an estimated 1900 people died.
according to latest insurance COM
pany statistics.
This dramatic decrease in the
mortality rate was brought about
through use of new drugs for pre-
ventiOn and treatment. Whooping
cough occurs most often in children
under five years of age and at one
time 25 per cent of infants under
six months who contracted the dis
ease died. The American Public
Health Association recommends
tmmunization between the third
and sixth months of life.
All children are exposed to
whoOping cough. Once contracted,
this disease can have complications
which affect the future health of
the child. Most common complica-
tiOns are severe Inflammation of
the middle ear, kidney disease, tox-
ic brain complications, abseess for
nation, and brOnchOpneumonia.
Until recently, medication did lit
tie to relieve the choking spasms
which accompany the disease. How
ever, this is changing. Recent OBJ
servation Of cases of whooping
cough treated with the antibiotic
drug aureomycin, showed that it
greatly reduced the number and
severity of coughing spells, as COM

Truman Seems On Trail for Reelection
Evident He Threw His Hat in Ring.' Says Senator Mdgnuson

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5-R- President Truman appeared today to have hit the reelection campaign trail with a 1852 platform virtually written.
 He did everything but formally announce his candidacy at Dem- ocratic rally here where he called his opponents names ranging from special privilege boys" to economic fossils"
 And he constructed his 1852 plat form under the familiar flair deaf banner as he predicted i've are go- ing to elect a President next year
 He didn't say it would be Harry S. Truman, but the way the Dem ocrats stood up and cheered--and his own obvious relish of the ap- plause-made things pretty clear to those around.
 More Excitement
 Mir. Truman headed for his home in the midwest after couple of san Francisco speeches, in which the off- tre-cuff political talk at a party luncheon created more excitement than his major foreign policy ad- dress opening the Japanese peace treaty conference last night.
 The President>left at TOP am. on his plane, the Independence, for Kansas City, where he started OF the road to the Presidency.
 Senator Magnuson (D-Wash), who was among those cheering the Pre- sident on at the luncheon speech told a reporter, with obvious satis- faction:
 Hat in Ring?
 T thought he threw his hat into the ring"
 And that was what just about everybody else among the upwards of 750 others at the luncheon thought, also.
 The Presidents campaign-like talk appeared to De as mucn or d bomb shell to the party workers as his assertion that new weapons are being developed which would destroy civilization in the event of another all-out war.
 Memories of his give 'em hell campaign of 1948 were stirred by the Presidents assertion.
 "The Democratic Party has 8 duty to the country, and if I am not badly mistaken the Democratic Party is going to keep right on carrying out that duty
 Next year, 1952"-the President got no further His audience arose cheering in campaign fashion as though the election were just around the corner.

FIVE KILLED IN TENTH ALASKA AIR CRASH
Russ Attempt 10 Block
 treaty Smashed; Rules Quickly Adopted 4S-3
By JOHN M. HIGHTowER

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5-H- Russia's drive to block Anglo American control of the Japanese peace conference was abruptly cut short today and the conference adopted AS to rules of procedure sponsored by the two western powers.
 It was a smashing defeat for Soviet deputy foreign minister Air drei Gromyko, who had also been defeated earlier in the first two hours of conference business on a proposal to L~ing Red China here
 The U. s. delegation was caught by surprise by the sud- den speed of the action. Both Ambassador John Foster Dulles, author of the treaty, and assist ant Secretary of State Dean Rusk inc icated they had expected it wouls take at least until night to adopt the rules.
 U. s. Secretary of State Dean Acheson was quickly elected pres- ident of the conference by a sec ret vote of 43 Of the 51 members voting.
 Percy SpendeT, Australian Alil- bassador to the United States, was elected vice president
 The rules are designed to pre- vent Russia from fiiibustering the peace treaty--now scheduled for signing Satur6ay--or from chang ing it in any way.
 Speeches on the treaty are lim- tied to one hour for each delega- tien with five minutes te answer questions.
 Proposals for changes in the treaty can he ruled cut .of order
 Achescn Tough
 Acheson, acting as temporary president of the meeting, took a tough line from the outset. At one point he curtly ordered Stefan Wierblowski, Polish delegate, to sit down when his time. in Ache sons view, ran out. Gromyko was on his feet almost constantly ob- jecting to every Acheson ruling and demanding that the confer ence throw wide open and rewrite the peace treaty drafted by the United States and Britain.
 Dehate broke out in the first business session of the conference. It began at 10:1o am, after Pres ident Truman, opening the confer ence formally last, challenged the Soviets to make good on their talk of peace by signing the treaty.
 "The treaty now before us o. fers more than talk of peace" Mir. Truman said emphaticaliy. Tt offers action for peace. This conference will show, therefore, who seeks to make peace and who seeks to prevent it; who wishes to put an end to war, and who wishes to continue it."
 Gromyko, who had joined brief ly in the swelling applause Of his toric assemblage when MT. Tru-
