Little Hope for Further Cut
In u. 5. Death Rate Seen
By the Associoted Press

Surgeon General Leonard A.
Scheele sees little hope for low
ering the Nations general death
rate of 9.6 per 1000 population.
The rate has remained at
about that figure since 1850, and
DR.. Scheele. in testimony made
public by the House Appropria-
tions Committee Saturday, went
on to say further:
1T may be that the United
States will not experience any
significant reduction in the gen.
eral death rate in the future
unless we find ways to reduce
further the deaths due to chronic
diseases in the older age groups
and the deaths due to diseases
of infancy"
Although big gains have been
made in the fight against acute
diseases, he said, chrome dis
eases and mental illnesses tend
to increase.
Unless some means are found
to improve and apply more
widely the methods for early
diagnosis and treatment Of the
chronic diseases, congenital i'm
pairments, and mental illness,
we can anticipate continued in
creaSes each year in the number
of people afflicted" he said.

after is anybody'S guess.
Last year the game was sur
prisingly good and one player
at least won a tribute from q
player well-qualified to Judge
talent. A long fly was hit out
into left field but curved foul.
Representative Ayres of Ohio,
Republican outfielder, set sail for
the ball at the crack of the bat
and chased wide into foul terri

rolled over twice. and came up
with the ball firmly clutched in
