Medics Should Increase Guard Against TB By PRANK CARRY AP Science Reporter MIAMI IS)—General declines in tuberculosis sickness and death rates have thrown many children’s doctors off their guard against the danger of TB In infants, a Rich mond, Va., physician declared to day. Dr. Edwin L. Kendig Jr. of the medical College of Virginia at Richmond charged that many pe diatrician* are guilty of “some ac tual neglect” to test all infanta for possible tuberculosis. He told the opening general ses sion of the 22nd annual meeting of the American Academy of Pe diatrics (AAP): "In the early days of pediatrics, there was much tuberculosis in this country and all clinicians were constantly aware of the disease and alert to its possible presence in all ages and economic levels of society. “In recent years the decline in tuberculosis morbidity and mortali ty rates has led to some faulty thinking and some actual neglect on the part of many practicing physicians.’* Declaring that tuberculosis infec tion in infancy carries a “grave” outlook, and that earliest possible deisction provides the best hope of success, the doctor urged uni versal use of the “tuberculin test” on all new patients more than a few months of age. He said he had sent a question naire to 2,500 practicing pediatri cians and the 1,480 answers re vealed “that only 55.5 per cent employ the tuberculin test routine ly and that 21 per cent of those who do employ the test do so af ter the age of S years, too late to be of maximum benefit.” Dr. Kendif said /‘Tuberculous infection in infancy occurs more often than might be suspected,” and offered this evidence: Out of one group of approximate ly 800 children seen at a “well baby clinic” during a four-year period, ll per cent have already “acquired tuberculous disease, as manifested by a positive tuberculin test.” Of this infected group, three fourths became tuberculin-positive before 2 years of age, the rest before they reached S. He added, though, that “even In extreme cases,” treatment of TB •in infants can be successful. will be a razor that gives off mu sic instead of a racket A toneful shave . "ds like a great idea.

Conn Order Aids In Ending Widespread Waterfront Strike NROTC Exams Slated In Dec. By Navy WASHINGTON, - The Navy has announced that the eighth nation wide competitive examination for its college training program, the Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, has been scheduled for De cember 12, 1953. The Navy em phasized that this date is final and examinations would not be given at any other time regardless of circumstances. Successful candidates win par ticipate in four years of college training with government assist ance and will be commissioned as officers of the Navy or Marine Corps upon graduation. Applications for examinations are available to high school seniors or graduates within the sge re quirements. The applications may be obtained at high schools, col leges, and Navy Recruiting Sta tions throughout the country. Com pleted applications must reach the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, N. J. by November 21, 1953. The program is open to male citizens of the United States be tween the ages 17 and 21, and quotas have been assigned to each state and territory on the basis of its high school population. Those who are successful in pas sing the aptitude test will be in terviewed and given physical ex aminations. Then, if they are found in all respects qualified, their names will bo submitted to state and territorial selection commit tees composed of prominent cit izens and naval officers for final selection. The Navy expects to enter about 2,000 students into the program for the fall term of college, 1954. Those selected by the competitive exam inations will be assigned within quotas, to schools of their choice among universities and colleges which maintain NROTC units. If accepted by the college, the candidates will bo appointed Mid- Ihipmen, USNR, and will have their ! tuition, books and normal foes paid for by the Government In addi tion, they will receive pay at the rate of SBOO.OO a year for the four year period and will be provided the required uniforms. A student may, if he so desires, accept employment not conflicting with his NROTC and academic activities. Such employment may in some cases be desirable in ord er to defray the expenses of quarters, subsistence, and for nec essary clothing, since the uniforms supplied may be worn only on cruises, during drill periods, or while engaged In other naval ac tivities. Between each academic year, summer cruises of from six to eight weeks are taken in various ships of the fleet to provide practi cal shipboard training. After commissioning, NROTC graduates serve on active duty for three years before applying far re tention as career officers. Red Party Ouster Urged PORTSMOUTH, Va. UN Sen. Charles E. Potter (R-Mich) last night urged that the Communist party be outlawed in the United States. He spoke before the Ports mouth Executives Club. By BUOINB LBVIN NEW YORK (It—A court order today carried the promise of an immediate end to * multimil lion-dollar waterfront strike from Main* to Virginia, but K left un settled issues carrying the threat of bloody dock warfare. Leaders of the International Longshoremen’s Assn. (ILA), com plying with an injunction obtained under the Taft-Hartley law, or dered their men back to work af ter a five-day tleup which para lyzed more than 100 vessels. The cost of the strike in New York was put at millions. The ILA officials said the men could not be put hack on the job before tonight or tomorrow. Even as President Eisenhower's first use of Taft-Hartley brought at least a temporary truce in the ILA’* wage-contract dispute with employers, there were reports teat new work stoppages might result from the ILA’s fight with the AFL for control of waterfront labor. ILA officials sskl their members might refuse to work alongside longshoremen who hare quit ths ILA to join the AFL. A number of longshoremen have left the ILA in bolts which split some locals in two. The rivalry between the ILA and AFL has led to extraordinary po lice precautions on the waterfront, where supremacy*is often deter mined by brawn and brutality. On the basia of a pessimistic re port by a three-man fact-finding board which met in New York over the weekend, Eisenhower yester day ordered the Justice Depart ment to seek n Taft-Hartley in junction. Asst Atty. Gen. Warren Burger imediately flew to New York with a petition ready for Federal Judge Edward Weinfeld. The judge last night ordered a 10-day halt in tbs strike to pre vent “immediate and irreparable injury” to the national welfare. He set next Tuesday for s formal hear ing, at which be is expected to extend his order to the foil 80-day period, expiring Christmas Ere, permitted under Taft-Hartley. Weinfeld’s order quickly was served on Patrick J. Connolly, ILA executive vice president. CoooOy then directed the return to work by an estimated 50,000 to 00,000 ILA dockers from Portland, Maine, to Hampton Roads, Vs. Leaden of the ILA tugboat di vision said tog crews would start berthing ships before dawn. Ibe tugboat men quit work in sym pathy with the longshoremen, fore ing dozens of vessels to anchor just outside their piers. The ILA’s strike was a direct consequence of the failure of the union and the New York shipping Assn., representing 170 shipping and stevedoring companies, to reach agreement on anew con tract The two sides split on a wage boost the ILA asking a wage-welfare package of 13 cents an hour, foe employers offering an Bth cents package. The present basic rata is $2.27 an hour. HANOI B WITH CARS OKLAHOMA CITY (I) - Oklaho ma City Post Office employe* re ceived a chuckle from a package which arrived here from San An tonio. Attached to the outside was n transparent bag containing oat meal cookies and a note reading: “Last Christmas I mailed a dofl, insured for $25, and the doil was broken when it arrived. They would only pay mo $5 for file broken doD, so please handle this package with care it isn’t insured. And hdp yourself to a cookies.” Indian General Says U.N.
