New Methods
Needed
70 Halt Syphilis

A new approach to "time-
tried" methods Of controlling
syphilis is needed to curb the
rising number of cases In this
country, according to DR.. r. H.
Kampmeir, Vanderbilt Universi-
ty School Of Medicine, Nash
vile, Tenn.
"The immediate problem now
is NOT the mere application Of
time-tried methods, but rather
their implementation with diff
ferent focus," he said in the
current Journal Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
Since the advent Of penicil1in,
more patients are being treated
in physicians offices than in
public clinics, he said. Eradi-
cation Of syphilis, therefore,
must have as its pivot the doctor
In private practice and will de-
pend mainly upon cooperation
between the practitioner and
health authorities, he said.
The application Of the methods
Of case finding and investiga-
tion of contacts developed and
proved in the public clinics must
now be oriented to the private
physician, DR.. Kampmeier said.
t'It would be unrealistic to
expect the practitioner to do
field work In investigation Of
contacts, even II he had had
training in its techniques," he
said. Therefore, he must have
help in the person of a trained
interviewer"
In Georgia, a case reporting
program In which physicians
were urged to introduce trained
interviewers to their patients
with infectious syphilis showed
"amazing success" DR.. Kamp-
meier said. Between 1856 and
1859 the number Of cases re-
ported increased by more than
10 times the number in the pre-
vious three years, he said, and
the number Of patients inter-
viewed increased to 81 per cent.
Assistance to the doctor in
inquiry about contacts has de-
veloped all too slowly, though
the current rising incidence Of
syphilis is forcing its accelera-
tion," he said. can extension Of
such services to the physician
and his concurrent education to
the responsibilities Of reporting
syphilis and preparing his
patient for meeting an inter-
viewer are the only answers to
the current impasse In the
eradication Of syphilis"
On the basis Of acceptable
statistical estimates, DR.. Kamp-
meier said, 1t is likely that
the incidence Of acute syphilis
In this country is the average
annual number Of reported cases
was $500, indicating that So, 500
probable cases of infectious
syphilis were missed or not re-
ported each year. ~ - Seq j
DR.. Kampmeier also stressed
the Importance Of the blood test
for syphilis, which he termed
f'the major tool In case find
ing," and post-treatment follow
up examinations.
In addition, DR.. Kampmeier
said, there is a need for better
education among graduate physi-
clans and undergraduates with
regard to syphilis.

LEARN FROM HITTERS

MIAMI (AP)- Ray Scarborough,
scout and pitching instructo
for the Baltimore Orioles, says
young pitchers can learn a lot
about their craft by listening to
and watching the hitters.
"The good hitters are studying
the pitchers all the time," says.
Scarborough, ESPECIALLY after
you've gotten them out. They're
looking for tipoffs on what you're
liable to throw them the next time
around"
Pitchers should do the same
thing with hitters, thinks
Scarborough, onetime curveba11
specialist for the Washington
Sena tors, Bos ton Red Sox,
Chicago White Sox, New York
Yankees and Detroit Tigers.
"Listen and look around the
batting cage during practice" he
recomme nds. "They may Indicate
by some action or habit the pitch
they like the most or the pitch
that might give them trouble"

"Tires sometimes suffer
