State Police Aid In
Delivery of Serum

State Police from both Maryland
and Pennsylvania assisted in err
rands of mercy last Saturday in
connection with the delivery of
anti-rabies serum to Garrett Coun-
ty Memorial hospital in Oakland.
Pennsylvania police brought
quantity of serum from Philadel-
phia, Pa, while Maryland police
brought a quantity from Baltimore.
Later that same day State Police
airplane took off from Friendship
airport in Baltimore with four walls
of the fluid needed for treatment
of three children of DR.. Joseph
Alvarez, Oakland physician, who
had been bitten by squirrel, and
two farmers of the Mt. Storm area
who had been exposed to a sup
posedly rabid lamb.
DR.. Alvarez said his three chill
dren, Donna, 5; John Harvey, 8,
and Mary K, II, brought home an
apparently injured but paralyzed
squirrel last Sunday afternoon,
May Is. The squirrel bit all three
youngsters. When the squirrel died
Friday DR.. Alvarez said he re-
called the cases of rabies involv-
ing a farm couple who were ex-
posed to a lamb at Mt. Storm.
Thinking the animal was choking
the couple put their hands down
the lambs throat. Later it died.
DR.. Alvarez took the dead squir-
rel to Bethesda by plane and con-
ferred with DR.. Karl Habel, a ra-
bies research specialist at the pub
lie Health Service hospital. Re-
turning to Oakland DR.. Alvarez
conferred with C. w. Highlander,
pharmacist, who called the Lederle
laboratories in Philadelphia. They
promised delivery within a short
time. The physician also called
Baltimore City hospitals which
located four walls of serum. Penn
sylvania police brought their SER
UNI to the hospital by 6 a. m. Mary
land state police relayed their
serum from Pikesville, and it ar
rived a short time afterward. Four
other walls were located and also
sent to Oakland.
1t was learned yesterday that the
laboratory would not know before
Friday whether or not the squirrel
was actually rabid. In the mean
time the three children were given
the serum which holds any rabies
symptoms in abeyarfce until it is
known definitely whether or not
! the animal had rabies. If the re-
port shows rabies, then the chill
dren will have to be given an anti
rabies vaccine. The children were
! feeling fine after rocky" week
end.

EATIN AMERICA

Very important for Inter American relations, from
the viewpoint of cordially between the United States and
Latin America, is that the diplomatic representatives OF
the Washington Government accomplish their mission OF
friendship and Official relations, cultivating the good will
of the people with the use of discretion and cordially.
The Ambassador and the other officials must OBJ
serve impecable conduct, in particular regarding non
interference in internal politics. Recently there have been
cases fortunately very few in which the AmbaS.
sailors identify themselves SO much, i'm such a personal
the eyes of the people, as if they were putting their di-
plOmatic influence at the service of the interests of the
Government. And the most serious part of these impru-
denceS committed by a few Ambassadors, is that they have
been in favor of tyrannical governments lacking moral
prestige, which remain in power through tricks incOm-
patible with the democratic ideals of the people represent
ed by those ambassadors.
Naturally, that attitude is harmful in extreme, be-
cause the oppressed citizens resent the support, real or
apparent, that those diplomats give to the dictatorship.
~plainable gestures of excessive and unusual cordially OF
the Ambassador toward local tyrantS is almost a proof
that the Washington Government sponsors that kind of
antidemOcratic regimes. Whether it is true or not, the
rumOr spreads, and the consequences are no good for the
prestige of the United States.
The State Department has at its disposal, within its
internal organizations, means to know and anaEyZe the man
ner in which its representatives act abroad, and should
adopt all necessary measures to avoid that some AmbaS.
sailors, for lack of ability, since 1t is unthinkable that they
do it on purpose, give the impression of supporting the die.
tatOrShipS, because in their relations with the Government
they go beyond protocol demands, and attend hOmageS of
political partisan character in favor of the regime, or be-
cause they make %imprudent statements or pay personal
tribute beyond the limits of normal courtesy in diplomatic
relations.
cannot see with Indifference that some persons, diSregarding
the rules of neutrality, show their support, without any
justification, for elements who are considered as the
executiOnerS of their fellow citizens.
