The War Office announced
the cause Of death yesterday
as pasteurella pests, or the
pneumonia plague. It said the
circumstances have not been
determined and ordered an in
vestigation.
Pneumonia and bubonic
plaques were popularity Jumped
together as the black death
which swept Europe in the
Middle Ages. Pneumonia plague
is the more infectious Of the
two and attacks the lungs. It
is spread primarily through the
air. Bubonic is the more COM
mon and is usually transferred
to man by infected fleas from
diseased rats.
Last Outbreaks
The last plague epidemic in
England was during l664-5
when about $4,000 persons
were killed in London alone.
There were small outbreaks in
Glasgow in 1900 and in Sussex
in 1910. The World Health
Organization said its records
show the last reported plague
death in England occurred in
1880.
The United States Public
Health Service said two plague
deaths were reported last year
In New Mexico. One was listed
as bubonic, the other simply
as plague.

Research Is Pushed
In Attack on Colds

man who isolated the virus
which made the new vaccine
possible, predicted that very
soon, all-purpose vaccines viii
be developed which will make
respiratory diseases In adults
as easily preventable as do vac
cines against polio"
DR.. Mogabgab differed With
some other cold researchers,
who believe that a single, all
purpose cold vaccine is impos-
sible. He pointed out that the
symptoms associated with COM
mon colds can be caused by
many different viruses.
However, respiratory illnesses.
according to DR.. Mogabgab.
can be broken down into three
categories; sore throat type ILL
nesses; mild respiratory ILL
nesses; and severe flu type ILL
nesses.
The Tulane scientist said
that effective preventive vac
cines are already available for
severe flu type illnesses, while
the vaccine developed and
tested by the Tulane team pro-
tects against influenza as well
as diseases which fall into the
category of mild respiratory
diseases-popularly called colds
or grippe.
"Substantiation by clinical
studies that only two anti-virus
agents added to influenza vac
cine prevent such a high per-
centage of cold-like illnesses in
addition to preventing in
fluenza," he stressed. indicates
very strongly that other viruses
can be added to the vaccine
which will prevent most virus
caused respiratory illnesses"
This optimistic prediction by
an independent researcher,
backed up by the intensive at
tack announced by the Ma
tional Institutes of Health
promises considerable hope for
the tens of millions of people
who suffer annually from COM
mon colds.
