2Hepotitis Types
Increase so Pct.
BY the Associated Press

Two kinds of hepatitis, a
liver disease. increased almost
so per cent in 1859.
The Public Health Service
yesterday reported 23,l87 cases
in 1859 in the country, COM
pared to 1924 in 1858. 1t was
the second increase in a row.
Il rather thing it's part Of a
cycle in which the disease in
creases and decreases in in
cidence, as certain other dis
eases do" said DR.. Carl Dauer
Of the health service. There is
no other explanation"
The two kinds of hepatitis in
volved are caused by slightly
different viruses. One form,
called infectious hepatitis, is
carried in contaminated food or
water. The other, hologous
serum hepatitis. is caused by
tranSfusionS OF blood plaSma
that harbors the virus.
There is no sure treatment
for the disease. The mortality
rate is low but hepatitis may
confine a person for long pc
riods. The infectious type
causes an estimated 800 deaths
a year, the other type 100.

Gently returned with 25 fol-

ing his Brazilian move with
the Communist groups in Ar
gentina where they are
strongest in the provinces of
Santiago del Estero, Tucuman
and Salta, all close to the
Bolivian border.
The Communist leaders,
both national and interna-
tional, are convinced that the
movement, which aims at
dividing the Western Hemi-
sphere into two theological
portions, is certain of success.
They claim that the Latin
American masses which have
suffered for so many years
from graft and corrupt politi-
clans who have called them
selves liberals or conserva-
tives-but in fact were no diff
ferent-will accept the
changes as the Cuban people
have despite the tragedy
which has befallen that is
land republic.
The gernesS of the
United States Government to
recognize the liberal" Castro
regime is also an encouraging
factor for the international
and local Communists.
American security officers
and competent observers on
the spot fear that despite the
measures to be taken by the
Latin American countries
which President Eisenhower
will visit, the Communists
may have a field day in order
to strengthen their own posi-
ton as a preliminary to their

In the Field With Upland Quail

upland quail, which may or
may not be in it. The really
skilled dog is a joy to watch.
He races back and forth, BIZ
secting the field, moving in
ellipses and triangles. He
knows, from some mysterious
force Of creation, a great deal
Of geometry. Sometimes the
dogs range out of sight in
thick cover.
There is a great thrill in
the distant, long-drawn-out
call Of handler, "Poinnnnt
here! Poinnnnt!" Horses are
quickened to a gallop. They
are pulled near the handler.
The hunters fling themselves
of. or climb decorously and
stiffiy down, depending on
age. Guns are tugged from
scabbardS and loaded.
There begins then the walk
from behind the dog to the
seemingly unmhabited grass
and bushes before him.
Somewhere ahead of him
the birds are frozen, blended
invisibly into the brown,
gold and russell of the
foliage Swiftly, without any
warning, they explode upward
with a great booming whir
Of wings. They are seen only
as brown balls rapidly dis
appearing at varying angles
of climb. The dogs hold and
do not bound forward as the
guns crack. If a shot has been
true, there is the cry of the
handler, "Deaaaad here.
Deaaaad." And the great,
snuffing dogs search out the
killed birds.
Ritual calls for only one
try for singles. And then
horses are remounted and the
hunt proceeds to the next
point.
In one morning at Ichau-
way, two hunters fired over "a

coveys for a total of As in
three hours time. Nor is this

Birth Control
Legal Stund
Here Sought

Robert E. Mclaughlin. pres

Commissioners, was asked yes
terday to report his findings
on the legality of giving birth
control information to charity
patients here.
The Women's Alliance of ALL
Souls Unitarian Church, in one
Of two resolutions passed unan-
imously yesterday at a meet
ing in Pierce Hall. asked for
notification Of the decision of
the District of Columbia COR
poration counsel" in regard to
the questio nof giving birth
control information routinely in
public clinics and hospitals in
the District.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said, several
weeks ago. he had asked Ches-
ter H. Gray, corporation coun-
sci and the city's chief legal
officer. to tell him if there are
any legal obstacles to giving
this information to patients at
District General Hospital.
The Women's Alliance
praised both Mr.. Mclaughlin
and his fellow Commissioner.
David B. Karrick, for earlier
statements saying they favored
the dissemination of birth-con-
troll data among the city's poor.
The alliance also forwarded
to President Eisenhower a res
olution urging him to recon-
slider his position on the Gov
ernment'S giving such aid to
countries requesting it. The
resolution also urged that the
United States work with the
United Nations and private
groups to stem population in
creases when asked to do so.
Mr.. Eisenhower told a press
conference on December 2 he
feels that birth control is not
a proper subject for political or
governmental action, adding
that as long as he is in the
White House the United States
will not have any positive po-

successful in Cuba when Fidel

over the whole of Cuba after

tage of impressing the Amer

1t is for this reason that the

Russian. 1t is also China
using Soviet submarines and
other means of sea transpor-

Jan. 8 (AP).-The United
States is reported pressing for
an early meeting of the new

Soviet intentions on interna-

The United States has con-

u. N delegations about the
chance of convening the "a

q fore the end of January.
The Russians repeatedly
baked at giving a definite an
swer until they get instruc-

The General Assembly unan-
imously approved formation of
the permanent Space Commit
tee last month after the United
States and the Soviet Union
broke a long-standing deadlock
over how many Communists
and non-Communists should
serve on the body.
Agreement Reached
Agreement was reached after
the United States consented
to have seven Communist and
five neutral nations appointed
to the 24-nation committee
along with II Western nations.
This came nearer the Soviet
demand for parity.
When the original 18-nation

Communist and two neutral

Arrangements for President

America are more compli-
Gated than for his recent trip
to Europe and Asia because
communism is far more ram

For security reasons, GER

A study of the Southern
Hemisphere situation by a
former active top Communist,
Eudocio Ravines. a Peruvian
who has taught guerrilla
tactics at the Lenin school in

Chinese Communist tactics
