Kefouver Chides Doctors
On1uck of H-Bomb PIuns

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June
4 Ex-senator Kefauver, DEM
ocrat. of Tennessee, today told
the National Defense Council of
the American Medical Associa-
ton he doesn't believe the med
ical profession is prepared for
a nuclear war.
DR.. Harold S. Diehl of Mime
apolis. chairman of the council,
said Senator Kefauver was Cor
rect. but he commented, mo
part of the country is ade-
quately prepared for a thermo-
nuclear attack"
Senator Kefauver made his
remarks in speech to physic-
ians and civil defense leaders at
q conference sponsored by the
AMA's National Defense Coun-
Gil.
Physicians Main Target
He took the administration to
task for what he called its "en-
tirely inadequate" yearly ex-
penditure of $50 million on Fed
eral civil defense.
But the Tennessean aimed
most of his remarks at the med
ical profession.
:, He said he doubted whether
there had been sufficient stock
piling of medical supplies or ad-
vance planning for the dispersal
Of hospitals and personnel and
the evacuation of patients in
the event of war emergency.
II have heard some doctors
declare that the medical profes.
sion is prepared for a nationa
war emergency" Senator Ke.
fauver said. Il doubt that. Il
may be prepared for the kind oi
war we went through the las
time.
II do not believe that the
medical profession, despite tht
grave responsibilities which will
fall to it, is prepared for &
thermo-neuclear war"
Senator Kefauver said "tot

given to the continuing need
for drugs and medical supplies

East Germans
Cutting Travel.

BERLIN, June I R.-Com-
munist East Germany tonight
cracked down on travel to and
from West Germany.
The move was ordered by
Premier Otto Grotewohl as a
health" measure designed to
spread of a West Ger
man typhoid epidemic.
But West Berlin political OBJ
servers speculated that it had
another reason: Stoppage Of the
Westward flow of refugees.
The Communist announce
ment, made through the official
news agency Adm. did not say
what restrictions would be i'm
posed. 1t merely said measures
were being taken to reduce" the
amount Of travel between East
and West Germany.
Reds Cut Truck Taxes
The order followed closely an
other announcement from East
Germany tonight that taxes on
truck traffic to West Berlin were
being reduced. The reduction
amounted to so per cent for light
trucks and 5 per cent for heavy
trucks.
Quoting the East German
traffic ministry, Adm said the
reduction was agreed to because
it was in the interest of the
German people" and would tend
to strengthen ties between East
and West Germany.
Soviet-surrounded West Ber-
lin gets nearly half its freight
via the three highways which
the Communists keep open to
West Germany.
When the stiff taxes were
imposed April /, West Berliners
and the Western powers feared
that a new Soviet blockade
might be in the making. The
1948-49' blockade Of Berlin was
broken only through use Of a
round-the-clock airlift.
Meeting With Reds Fruitless
1t was estimated the April
taxes would cost between 81 and
$40 million a year. The bill,
which was being paid by West
Berlin and West German gov
ernment subsidies. prompted the
Western representatives to meet
with the Russians on May 20
in East Berlin.
The meeting was fruitless and
the French. British and United
States Ambassadors to West
Germany said they would refer
the matter to their governments
for possible negotiation with
Moscow.

TODAY IN MEDICINE
Bod Food Seldom Kills,
But Pain Is Murderous

AN infected food handler placed
the organism on the meal.
Staphylococcus poisoning Is
thought to.be the most common
form of food poisoning. The or
Iganism can alight from the air
on food or can be passed on by
contact with a food handler,
Symptoms of the poisoning US
Iually appear from two to three
hours and recovery is fairly
rapid. But poisonings caused by
the strain of bacteria tabled
Salmonella usually come to the
fore much later-usually around
u hours.
The staphylococcus organism
has a great time multiplying,
particularly in dairy products.
Foods most often incriminated
after food poisonings include
bakery products filled with GUS
tard and cream, mayonnaise
milk, sausage, ham, tongue and
other cured meats.
Quick reporting Of outbreaks
works. according to health off,
lcials, for everybody's advantage
Food inspectors can move in,
fseize left-overs or spot infection
lin a food handler and prevent
further infection. BY isolating
the organism, the outbreak can
be traced to a particular course
or serving and the sickness can
be correctly diagnosed and
treated.
COnventiOners Hit
! Locally, case popped up last
year at one of the city's better
hotels. Within one hour after a
luncheon, a number of conven-
TONERS came down with food
poisoning. The Health Depart
ment was notified and a food
nanuIer WIN an injected nnger
was found. He had prepared
cold cuts for lunch that day.
Just last week, a happy we'd
ding dinner at a synagogue was
followed with wholesale sick
ness. Some 200 guests, now on
the mend, came down from "a
to 48 hours after the celebration.
The food was served by a ca
terer who prepared the meal in
a hotel. The trouble is still to
Ibe found. Health Department
inspectors had no left-overs to
examine and could find nothing
wrong in the hotels kitchen or
among the food handlers. Some
guests believe it was the fish
course" while others blame the
salad.
Both the bride and groom
were apparently too nervous to
eat and left happily on their
honeymoon.

Probably one of the worst
things the average human being
lis forced to endure in a lifetime
is a corking case of food poison

Raleigh Times

Rival Paper

RALEIGH. N. c., June 4 (R.-
John A. Park, editor-publisher
of the Raleigh Times for A
years. today announced the pa
per has been acquired 81 the
News q Observer Publishing Co
Mr.. Park said the transaction
was inevitable because advertiS-
ing and circulation revenues are
lno longer adequate to provide
Raleigh with two separately op-
Grated newspapers.
Mr.. Park said the Times, an
Afternoon newspaper, would re-
tain its name and would have
a completely independent news
and editorial policy from the
morning News and Observer.
The plan is to combine bust
ness, mechanical and distribu-
tion operations as quickly as pos
sible with the News and Observer
plant.
Mr.. Park announced that
Frank Daniels. general manager
of the News Observer, has indi-
Gated the consolidated operations
would require services Of all pres
ent Times employees.
He added that members Of the
Park family now directing the
papers operations will partici-
pate in the consolidation.
The Times will continue pub
lication at its present location
temporarily. Its news and edi-
torial departments will move into
the headquarters recently va
Gated by WNAO radio and TV
which are alongside q new build
ling being erected by the News
and Observer.
The Times had its actual be-
ginning April 81, 1879. when its
predecessor. the Evening Visitor,
was founded. In January. 1901,
the name was changed to the
Raleigh Times. On September
II, 1911. the Times Publishing Co.
was formed under its present
editor publisher.
Mr.. Park. 10, began working
for the paper while a freshman

He later was employed as the

doubted whether there had been
enough research into the effects
of germ and chemical warfare
or measures that can be taken
to combat them.
No Dispersal Planned
The Senator said the medical
profession and its facilities will
be under the same attack as the
rest OF the Nation in the event
Iof third world war, and added:
"As a matter of fact, the
medical profession will suffer a
greater depletion than most be-
cause of the concentration of
both doctors and medical facili-
ties of all kinds in large cities.
IF one doctor or one nurse or
one hospital bed has been dis
persed because of civil defense
l am unaware of the fact"
Asked to comment on Senator
Kefauver's speech, DR.. Diehl said
he agreed with it for the most
part. but called attention to a
remark Senator Kefauver made
earlier in his speech that "it is
q heartening sign that the me-
dical profession is concerning it
self so seriously with matters re-
Ilating to civil defense"
DR.. Diehl said he couldn't take
issue with Senator Kefauver's
remarks on stockpiling and
radioactive research and termed
plans for evacuating hospitals In
the event of an attack as micro
lscopic."
On the latter point, DR.. Dieh,
added, he understood the st
Louis General Hospital was
holding a drill or exercise on
evacuation today.
