2ChiIdren's Deaths Laid
ToMeningitis' Swift I oil.

The type of meningitis which
killed two Washington children
this week usually is fatal UNI
less prompt treatment is forth
coming, a Health Department
expert said today.
The children. Robert and Eva
Plunkett. aged 6 and S, died
after their mother. Mrs. Mag
nolia Plunkett, said she was
unable to enlist quick help for
getting them to a hospital.
Whether they could have
been saved with more prompt
action is an imponderable per-
haps no one can answer. DR.
William Long. chief of prevent
able diseases in the Health
Departments disease control
division. said the type Of mem
nights - meningococcus - usu-
ally is fatal unless taken care
Of promptly"
New Suit for Funeral
Lack Of money, and of infor-
nation, were factors behind
the tragedy. Tomorrow the
children will be buried, and
their father, Horace. has a
new dark suit from the Sal
walton Army to attend the
funeral.
The story started early Mon
day morning, about 6 am. Rob-
ert got out of bed at the family
home, 4615 Minnesota avenue
NE.
HE started to call for his
daddy" Mrs. Plunkett recalled.
'He said he ached all over. and
he was standing against the
wall trembling"
Daughter Worse
The parents were concerned.
Their daughter, Eva, who had
been sick the day before, was
also complaining that she felt
much worse.
For the next nine hours, Mrs.
Plunkett tried to get help. She
called the police, District Cen
eral and Casualty Hospitals and
the Welfare Departments pub
lie assistance division.
II didn't know about the
emergency ambulance dis
patcher." Mrs. Plunkett said.
Somehow, she did not convey
to anyone a real sense of emer-
gency.
Casualty Hospital has no rec
ord Of any call from her, al
though a spokesman there said
any emergency case would be
handled promptly.
The Health Departments
medical assistance division, To-
Gated at District General, also
has no record of any call from
Mrs. Plunkett. The 42-year-old
woman does not know to whom
she spoke at either hospital.
Mrs. Barbara Hodges, chief
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-03-07

of the assistance division. was
speaking for all those whom
Mrs. Plunkett called. She said,
We're on the receiving end.
The people who phone have to
communicate to US the sense
OF urgency.
Jobless Father
Even had she reached our
Office, we wouldn't have dis
patched an ambulance unless
we did get this sense of
urgency"
The Plunkett family-there
were nine children living at the
Minnesota avenue address be-
fore the two deaths--is on
relief. Mr.. Plunkett, "a, has
various ailments, which pre-
vent him from working.
Il tried calling our case
worker at the public assistance
Iofice," Mrs. Plunkett said. But
the worker. Miss Marie Holmes,
wasn't in.
And when she did arrive, the
only message she received was
that the Plunkett family had
not received the March check
for $242, Not until the next
day did Miss Holmes find out
about the two children, accord
ing to Martin Sherry. District
supervisor for public assistance.
The check, he explained, had
been sent to the former address
OF the Plunketts, who moved to
their current home in January.
I'VE didn't have any money"
Mrs. Plunkett said. Il didn't
know how to get the children
to a hospital. I couldn't pay
a taxi"
Her two calls to the 14th pre-
clnct were answered by Corpl.
Theodore Truban and Capt.
Howard F. Mowry.
"She never got it across that
1T was an emergency" the
captain said.
Normal Notice Given
Following normal procedure,
he notified the District ply
sicians' service of Mrs
Plunkett's call. This service.
set up by the Public Health
Department, is specifically not
an emergency service.
DR.. Ernst L. Braddock re-
Sponded. He phoned Mrs.
Plunkett and asked for the
symptoms. These included
diarrhea, vomiting and fever,
he said. He recommended rub
downs with alcohol and said
he would make a visit as soon
as possible.
The doctor arrived shortly
after 3 pm, Just after a neigh
Dor had told Mrs. Plunkett
about the emergency ambulance
dispatching service.
Almost at once DR.. Braddock
saw that the two children we're
in serious condition. He called
for an ambulance and the
youngsters were rushed to the
hospital. where their illness
was diagnosed.
COntagiOn Caution
The Public Health Depart
ment Immediately started pre-
! ventive measures to stop the
contagious disease from spread
ing, DR.. Long said. Tablets Of
sulfadiazene have been given to
all those people who. came in
contact with the Plunkett
family.
Yesterday afternoon Miss
Holmes brought over the relief
check for the Plunketts.
She arrived after Mrs. Punk
EFT had returned from the WAL
ter E. Hunter funeral home,
25l2 Sheridan road Sc. She
was picking out two caskets
there. Mr.. Hunter had to pay
the cab fare. The actual funeral
costs are being paid by Mrs.
Plunkett's mother, Mrs. Eva E.
Sanders, 1912 Bowen road Sc.
Funeral services will be held
in the Hunter funeral home at
pm. tomorrow for both chill
dren. They will be buried in
Lincoln Cemetery.
