Routine of Child Poison Center Here
Would Make Parents Groyer but Wiser
Aspirin Is Top Killer;
Lye, Polish, Bleach
Also Tuke Grim Toll
By John McKelwoy

Most nerve-racked parents OF
| toddlers probably take an un-
believing look at statistics which
claim the little folk will prob
ably live to be upward Of IS
years of age.
Any pause for thought on this
point is usually broken by the
crash of a heavy lamp or book
case or the awful sounds of a
child falling down the stairs.
Worse, perhaps. is the noise OF
gagging accompanied by the
realization that the bottle Of
liquid floor wax was left in the
baby's reach.
Somehow most children get
through that period Of curiosity
and hard knocks. That God Is
on their side seems to be the
only logical explanation.
Top Cause of Deaths.
Accidents, however, are the
leading cause of death in chill
dren / to 5 years old, according
to the Public Health Service.
This. of course, includes auto
mobile accidents. Yet even the
most elaborate precautions taken
by some parents to prevent
home accidents" like poison
ings can crumble in an instant.
Babies move so very fast.
Generally there Is sort Of an
apathetic attitude toward the
prevention of accidents. A plea
for funds for some obscure dis
ease would probably receive
more attention. But in some
quarters - particularly those
which deal with the results of
Notwithstanding is being

shows. for one thing, children
will poison themselves with any,
thing they can get their hands
on. Even outside of the pencil
toy-penny class come the poi
sons and drugs they have gulped
in large quantities. The list is
sickening: Laxatives, aspirin,
sedatives, liniments, cosmetics,
antiseptics, bleach. lye, polish,
paint, lysol, kerosene. paint re-
mover. gasoline, turpentine, rat
and insect poisons.
One child sprayed the mouth
of his brothers and sisters with
DDT. Another ate quantity of
"warfarIn" which produces
wholesale bleeding in the rat
and the human. In rural areas,
one cure" for the cold is a tea
spoon of kerosene. In children,
the cure" usually leads to pneu-
monia after poisoning the child.
But the surprising thing the
center has found is that the
I leading cause of poisoning" has
been aspirin-particularly candy
coated aspirin-taken in hand

so Traced to Aspirin.
OF 212 cases of poisoning at
the center tmany others were
not reported, SO were traced to
aspirin-not one tablet but whole
bottles full. Apparently, the
locked medicine cabinet is not
always used to hold the aspirin
bottle.
The great load of aspirin poi
soning cases has led local physi-
clans to ask manufacturers to
package their product instead
of bottle it. The new package
experimental on by one aspirin
maker-is of cellophane and
develishly hard to open. This
could be one answer to the prob
lem, doctors say. But packaging
in cellophane is too expensive,
manufacturers say. At least, the
problem is receiving some in
terest.
In an article in the Journal
of Pediatrics. DR.. Katherine Balm |
of the Children's Bureau said: |
Roughly, two-thirds of the |
deaths from accidental poison
ings could be wiped out If aspirin,

Washington area has been set up
at Children's Hospital. The cen
ter" actually consists of an ever
growing sheaf of papers on file
at the hospital requiring the at
tention of an intern "a hours a
day.
The center was established
less than a year ago by the Dis
trict of Columbia Section of the
American Academy of Pediatrics.
Use of the center is restricted to
doctors or hospital personnel.
The public has heard little about
it.
Reservoir of AntidOtes.
The center amounts to a vast
reservoir of antidotes-remedies
for counteracting poisons. The
file is thick. for babies will gulp
every conceivable thing that will
fit in their mouths, including the
newest product fresh on the
market.
! Purpose of the center is to fur-
nish doctors and hospitals with
a central point from which an
antidote can be obtain e d
promptly.
AS an example, a doctor is
faced with poisoned child who
nibbled the wick of a new de-
odorizer. When the old standby,
the stomach pump, has failed,
the doctor can obtain the anti
dote-if one is on f1le-by calling
the center. (This is an actual
case.)
According to doctors at the
hospital. one of their biggest
troubles is getting manufacturers
to reveal just what goes into a
product. One recalled a case
some years ago in which a child
had eater a yellow crayon. In
desperate need of an antidote-
the poison had been picked up by
the blood stream-doctors called
the manufacturer of the crayon.
He refused to say what went into
the crayon-on the, grounds he
would be giving up a trade
secret" The trade secret idea
has also been expressed by the
makers of polishes, wakes and
other products. Pediatricians are
leading the fight for complete
labelling on all products.
Search Must Be Started.
In short, the Poison Control
Center is incomplete. For with
every new furniture polish Or
cleanser placed on the market a
search for an antidote must be
started.

DC. Power to Enforce
Evacuation Lockinu

Although complete evacuation
Of the city has been decided
upon by District officials IN the
event of an atomic or hydrogen
bomb attack. Commissioner
Samuel Spencer said last night
the Commissioners now have no
authority to order anyone to
get out.
He was one of several speakers
at a joint community meeting,
pegged to the theme key To
Survival" held in Adas Israel
Synagogue. Connecticut avenue
and Porter street NV. This is
the civil defense welfare center
for the Upper Connecticut ave-
nue. area.
Others participating in the
panel discussion, which followed
closely on the Commissioners

terday. were Col. John E. Fon-
dahl. District director of civil
defense; Mrs. Ethel Sears We'll
Ter, co-ordinator of home pro-
lection; George Rothrock,, shell
ter engineer, and Albert Riser,
deputy director of welfare.
The Commissioners order
said: 1T will be the policy of
the District Government, upon
the sounding of the alert sig
nal, that persons in the District
OF Columbia insofar as possible,
evacuate to nearby Maryland
and Virginia"
Evening star., 1955-04-29

Mr.. Spencer made it plain the
policy was adopted as a formal
guide for civil defense planning.
He said there were no adequate
plans for evacuating Washing
ton and that Col. Fondahl has
been ordered to prepare some.
This presumably will include a
map showing the escape routes.

Mr.. Spencer commented. is pro-
crossing inward from the Dis
trict boundaries and has reached
the zone about four miles from
the center of town.
Mr.. Spencer and Col. Fon-
dahl concluded that the pri-
mary means of evacuation would
be by automobile, on the assump-
ton there would be a warning
of at least one hour.
Mr.. Rothrock emphasized that
all persons would need shelter
within a radius of 20 miles
from the White House. Beyond
that. he said, persons would
need cover" effect, lighter.
built shelters. The people, Mr..
Rothrock emphasized, must
evacuate to prepared shelter or
cover areas to get out of the
area of falling debris.
He said that from 16 to so
miles from the city, there are
1000 square miles in which peo-
pie might not be affected by an
