On Epidemic

The National Institutes of

study an epidemic of infant
diarrhea at Freedmen's Hos
pital.
DR.. Daniel l.. Seckinger, direc-
tor of Public Health, yesterday
met with officials of the United
States Public Health Service
Freedmen's, and the District
General Hospital to order emer-
gency measures in an attempt tc
halt the spread of the diarrhea
which can be fatal.
AS of this morning, IL cases
had been reported in the pediat.
RIGS section of the hospital
although only two are still on
the critical list. Doctors ex-
planned that once an outbreak
Of this kind of diarrhea-prob-
ably caused by tiny infectious
organisms-occurs. it can spread
swiftly.
The group asked the help OF
NH to determine just what or
ganism is causing the epidemic
and ordered the following meas
ures into effect at once:
No new infants are to be ad-
mitted to the hospital and pa
tients giving birth there will be
returned home with their in
fants as soon as is possible.
Employees Of the hospital now
working with infants shall be
transferred to other Jobs until
the cause Of the epidemic is
known and it is halted.
The Health Department noted
that there are a few suspected
cases Of diarrhea among new
born ch,riren at District General

Mr.. Cooper and County Police
Pvt. Edmond A. Faulconer, who
made the speeding arrest, went
out to Occoquan to see for them
selves. They also brought along
the girl that had been in the

Everybody involved compared
notes and came up with the
theory that Hamilton must have

slipped back into Occoquan after
his arrest before anybody missed
