By John McKeIwoy

When modern medicine boots
out one disease it sometimes
stirs up a flock of other prob
lens.
This was pointed out today by
DR.. Hugh r. Leavell. Harvard
School of Health professor and
president-elect of the American
Public Health Association. He
spoke to State Directors of Pub
lie Health Nursing from through
out the country meeting here at
the Federal Security Agency.
DR.. LeaveH spoke of the
changes going on in the modern
world with which public health
must deal. He said public prob
lems' are often of greater i'm
portance than health problems.
AS an example of these prob
lens, Dr.. Leavell cited instances
where research has come up with
some drug or'vaccine-and then
people refuse to take it.
Polio Studies Cited.
The doctor described some of
the changes in the concept of
certain diseases. He said that
communicable disease control
and sanitation may not have
entirely unmixed blessings"
ultra modern sanitation may
increase our susceptibility to
polio" he said. Studies in GER
tain African areas indicated that
a high percentage of the local
population is immune to polio
and that clinical cases of polio
are extremely rare"
He said that it was possible
the Africans were minimizing"
themselves by drinking diluted
sewage containing polio virus.
Their bodies would manufacture
antibodieS against the disease.
Prevention of German mea sles
in girls, he said. may lead to

the United States was that peo-
pie had built up exaggerated
hopes. He declared that if it
came to a showdown the vast
majority of the American people
would line up on the U MS side.
Mr.. Dulles visit follows Wash
ington talks with Britain's For

which the Western allies atti-
tude toward Soviet government
changes caused by Stains death
was touched on. Secretary Eden
follows Dulles here tomorrow for
two days of talks with other
United Nations delegates.
The Political Committee
wound up its debates on Korean
truce proposals Saturday without
indicating any new action. Its

fined to Korean reconstruction.

in Asian affairs and turn more
of the responsibility over to the
Asian peoples themselves.
8. Deplored the existence of
power vacuum in the Near and
Middle East and said the United
States was re-eXamining its pol
icies to see how to end it. In
this connection, Mr.. Dulles said
he would like to see the restora-
ton of peace between Israel and
the Arab states.
9. Said the United States and
Britain intend to send on the
present proposals which have
been made to Premier Mossa-
degh for settling the Iranian oil
dispute and have no plans to
offer new ones. He said he did
not intend to visit Iran in his
swing around the Middle East
and Asia.
Not Seeking Asian Pact.

Tydings Declares He Treated
Cousin Like Any Constituent

Former Senator Tydings, Dem
ocrat. of Maryland. said yester-
day that he had treated a
cousin under investigation for his
conduct as an Internal Revenue
official like any other constitu-
ent" when he recommended him
for a promotion in 1949.
Mr.. Tydings. who was out of
the country two weeks ago when
a House committee investigated
Donald s. Tydings, former dis
trict supervisor in the alcohol
tax unit of the Atlanta Internal
Revenue Office, issued a state
ment asserting that any letters
of recommendation were based
upon my belief in his qualifica-
tons and fitness"
Donald Tydings told House
investigators he appealed to the
former Senator for a promotion
in 1949. He also admitted he
tried to borrow money from
Baltimore night club operator
and bought costly gifts for a girl
clerical worker in his Office. The
committee has turned his testi-
mony over to the Justice De-
partment.
Met Infrequently, He Says.
In his statement, former SEN
ator Tydings said he had not
seen his cousin more than two
or three times during the twenty
years prior to 1949," had not ex-
changed more than possibly 10
letters with him during that
period, and had not talked to his
cousins superiors before 1949.
IF any letters of recommen-
dalton Of him were written by
me-" Mr.. TydingS said, they
were based upon my belief in
his qualifications and fitness. In
fact, have during the past 30
years written for constituents
thousands of letters of recon-
m e n d t on and Endorsement.
Such practice is, in our political
system, a regular function for all
Senators and Representatives in
Congress-"
Doesn't COndOne Loan Plea.
The ex-senator said he did
not condone his cousins attempt
to borrow from the night club OPP
orator. Max Cohen, proprietor of
the Oasis, when it occurred, nor
do I condone it now" Donald
Tydings asked Mr.. Cohen for
$4,000 in February, 1947.
He said Donald Tydings told
him in 1949 that he had earned
promotions in the Atlanta office
because the official record
showed that his area had the
best enforcement record in the
Nation" However, the former

their later developing the disease
during pregnancy and giving
birth to children with deformi-
ties.
The doctor said that though
antibiotics control bacterial
diseases. more and more new
viruses seem to be popping up.
"One begins to wonder" the
doctor said, whether viruses
simply take over when the bac-
terra are brought under con-
troll.
Threat in Population Rise.
Still another headache to
those who prevent disease and
improve health conditions was
described by the doctor. He said
when sanitation and communic-
able disease control measures
are introduced into under de-
veloped countries without con-
troll of the birth rate, the popu-
lation increases so rapidly as to
introduce "malnutrition."
1--WE wonder" DR.. Leavell said,
whether public health people
as lone workers in the field may
do more harm than good. We
begin to think of calling in those
who should be our teammates
working in agriculture, industry
and education"
The nurses. here for f1ve-day
meeting. met today with Mrs.
Eisenhower at the White House.
They were welcomed at the
FSA by DR.. Leonard A. Scheele,
surgeon general of the Public
Health Service. and Dr.. Martha

Hyde Bill Proposes
Passenger Carrier
Regulation Here

Representative Hyde, Repub-
| lican, of Maryland introduced in
the House today a bill to set up
a commission for regulation of
passenger carriers in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area.
The measure is similar to one
already pending in the Senate
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee, sponsored by
Senator johnson. Democrat, of
Colorado. The Senate bill may
be reported to the Senate for
action soon.
Calls Action Imperative.
AS he dropped his bill in the
hopper. Mr.. Hyde told the House
in a brief speech that public
transportation in this area "haS
deteriorated so rapidly in recent
months that it is imperative
action be taken promptly"
Cali experts agree" he told
his colleagues, 1.-The next step
to be taken to correct the pres
snt evils should be a commission
with regulatory authority and
jurisdiction over the entire met
ropolitan area"
Soon thereafter Mr.. Hyde told
The Star that the Maryland
Public Service Commission in a
recent case said that to keep
rates down and maintain proper
schedules such an area commits
sion would be required.
A similar measure may also be
introduced in the House by
Representative Small, Republic
can, of Maryland.
New Charge Planned.
Meanwhile criticism of the
Capital Transit Co. was expected
to continue on Capitol Hill.
Senator Nicely, Democrat, of
West Virginia, said he is plan
ming to issue a statement charg-
ing that the company plans to
dump" the company on tax
payers of the city. He said he
had information from a repre-
sentative of the company to
this effect.
A spokesman for the line said
today that, so far as he knew.
no company official had ever said
anything like that to Senator
Nicely.
The spokesman said the COM
pany would welcome any in

committee such as that now I'M

Washington Minister
Says Mccarthy Aids
Communist Cause

A prominent Washington min
lister declared yesterday that
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin has helped the
Communist cause in the. United
States.
When you stop to think about
it, he has done pretty well for
the Communists" the Rev. C.
Stanley Lowell told his Wesley
Methodist Church congregation.
He has everybody in the Gov
eminent scared to death. He has
the State Department so jittery
the people in it are afraid to do
anything. The Communists would
like that.
Nov he and his fellow
travellers are going to work On
the school system in way that
may very well wreck it," Mr..
Lowell continued. 1.-THE Com
munists would like that.
Next. mark my word, it will
be the churches. They too will
be investigated for Reds by
these self-appointed arbiters of
true Americanism. And when
the churches are harried and
driven and rendered Intellectual
in their operations the Com
munists will certainly like that"
The minister asked: How do
We know Mccarthy is loyal? How
do we know he is not the front
for a gigantic Communist con-
spiracy? I'm not saying that he
is. I'm saying How do we know
he isn't?''
Mr.. Lowell decried the tactics
used by chairmen of other con-
gressional investigating COM
mittees and asked that they be
investigated.
If men like these are going to
investigate our schools and
churches then certainly some
responsible investigation should
be made of them" he said. Those
named, in addition to Senator
Mccarthy, were Senator Jenner,
Republican, of Indiana; Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada.
and Representative Velde, Re-
publican, of Illinois.

ON ABC Hour They Showed
No Fear of the Impossible

duction

trying to do a Western, complete
with men on horseback and a
stagecoach, inside a TV studio
was nothing short of awe-in-
spring Whatever else ever is

bert H. Brodkin, Associate Pro-
ducer Phil Stein and Director

Ic November, 1858. they weren't
afraid to try the impossible.
Outlaws Reckoning" was
well-acted by a cast headed by
Eddie Albert. Jane Wyatt, Wal
lace Ford and Lee Marvin. 1t
achieved a fair amount of sus-
perse under Mr.. Nelson's direc-
tion. 1t even wound up with
the traditional hand-to-hand
battle between hero and villain,
in probably the widest thing of

unfortunately THIS isn't TRUE
of TV drama, even the best
intended TV drama. It is not
pleasant to be forced into a dim
view of a brave try, since tele-
vision drama can use all the
brave tries it can get. Still
life must be faced. And it is a
fact of life that "TV Hour
played the tune fine, but "Out-
laws Reckoning" wasn't marked
by a clear-cut melodic line to
start with.
Either the original story by
Ernest Haycox wasn't adaptable
or it lost in its adaptation to
TV by Halsted WelleS. Some OF
its dialogue was clumsy and
some of its motivation never was
clearly established.
This was, as the prospectus
promised, a story OF "how human
beings react under stress or emo
ton" And right here a re-
viewer faced with being more
specific in not too many words
can only sit and let his respect

for Mr.. Welles grow. He at
least got the Haycox story un-
wound within an hour of ABC's
televiSion time.

This has to be done, though,
so let's have at it. It went
something like this:
A man wanted for murder
Oee Marvin turned up at the
inn where the passengers from
the stage had stopped for sup
per. He was followed shortly by
the sheriff (Wallace Ford. The
sheriff had better go in shootin'
the bystanders said. because
he'll never outdraw Buff, the
killer. The sheriff just went in
and sat down to supper, though.
After awhile everybody was fin
ished eating. the outlaw rode off
and the sheriff rode off after
him. In due time there was a
shot in the distance identified
as from the outlaws, not the
sheriff's rifle.
Soon the killer returned to
tap the till of the inn and the
adjacent toll bridge. He almost
made it but the owner of the
establishment eddie Albert)
proved his true courage by do
ing battle when the chips were
down. There was an incidental
romantic plot in which a lady
stage passenger (Vicki Cum
mingS) tried to WOO Albert, but
Jane Wyatt let her hair down
and won him.
Mr.. Albert turned in another
of those fine acting jobs he has
been doing lately on TV and he
got excellent support from the
others. All. however, were sort
of swimming upstream against
basic implauSibility. It never
was clearly established how the
sheriff had lived so long if it
was his habit not to draw first
on wanted killers when he had
the chance.
The supper table scene, with
sheriff and outlaw warily ewing
each other across the table, with
every one else tensly awaiting
the bloodshed, was designed for
high suspense. No director in
the world could achieve it fully,
however, when you're sitting
there knowing no law officer in
his right mind would deliber-
ately walk into a predicament
like that.
The net result was that "Out-
laws Reckoning" never got out
of the TV studio. In conse-
quence one thing became evi-
dent which might otherwise
have passed unnoticed. Given
the opportunity to pause and
examine it, this corner of the
wide open spaces was too obvi-
ouSly a corner of a studio, with
dirt on the floor and papier-
mache rocks.
A slice of scenery on a rear
screen protector might have
helped the illusion, as it has in
SO many movies. AS it was,
though, this failure to attain
reality set up a sort of vicious
circle. The story, which started
it all, seemed in turn less plau-
Sible.
But it was a real good try,
fellows, and we hope you won't
be discouraged by carping critics.
You never know how much a TV
camera will take in until YOU
make it bite off more than it
can chew.
