Study of Germ Warfare Lists
33 Diseases for Possible Use
By Howard W. Blakesfac
Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK, May 19—A 40,000
word explanation of bacteriological
warfare, with all the basic facts, ex
cepting only secret work of World
vVar II, was released today with
Government permission.
Thirty-three diseases are listed
as possible war weapons, some of
chem In concentrations that could
b? used to attack a single military
objective or even enemy troops in
action.
Cities, war production areas and
islands might be neutralized for
military purposes for worthwhile
periods of time by some of the tech
niques in this prospectus of future
wars.
But the study points- out it will
je very difficult to achieve limitary
uses of these diseases. The ah,
with planes scattering them, or con
centrating them in mists, smokes
ana dusts, is considered the best
way. In nearly all cases, however,
muen scientific work will have to
be done to find ways to do suffici
ently massive “seeding" of diseases
to make bacterial war worth while.
Dr. Maurice Visscher, president of
the American Association of Scien
tific Workers, said in Chicago that
“because of its geographical isola
tion” this country would be at a dis
advantage in bacterial warfare.
In case of an attack on the United
States by a European enemy, Dr.
Visscher said, the attacking enemy’s
own people would be safe from the
bacteria used and retribution in kind
by this country would be difficult,
because “if we started retribution
against a European enemy, our use
of bacterial weapons would involve
neutral countries as well as the ene
my country itself.”
Dr. Visscher, head of the physiol
ogy department at the University
of Minnesota, called a news confer
ence to discuss the report because
he wanted to emphasize that “bac
terial warfare is one of the most im
portant hazards to humanity which
could result from misuse of science.”
"We are impresesd by the state
ment of George Merck (in a 1946
report) that the only real defense
against bacterial warfare is peace,"
said Dr. Visscher, who is in Chicago
for the convention of the Federa
tion of American Societies for Ex
perimental Biology.
"And the American public cannot
be impressed too strongly with the
necessity of making arrangements
that will preserve peace now, because
10 years from now it will be too late.”
The report, published today in
the Journal of Immunology, was
written in 1942, compiled from bac
teriologncal war studies which
scientists had been quietly making
In eight nations—not including Ger
many.
It is the dictionary of biological
warfare. The authors are Dr. Theo
dor Rosebury and Dr. Elvin Kabat,
bacteriologists of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia
University, and Dr. Martin N. Boldt..
They made the study for the Amer
ican Association of Scientific Work
ers, gave it to the Government, and
it was kept secret until today.
After writing the report all three
went to work on biological warfare
at camp Detrick, Md. But today’s
report contains nothing about the
war work.
The fact is tnat me war progress
was small compared with the great
field of bacteriological war knowl
edge gathered in the 40,000 words.
The war work made some impor
tant specific advances and con
vinced bacteriologists that this kind
of war is feasible.
Many Diseases Listed.
The diseases listed as having war
possibilities include rabbit fever,
not the common form but a pneu
monia type that is transmitted by
air; the pneumonic, or lung form,
of the great plague, blaok death,
and a rare disease known as meli
oidosis, that resembles glanders of
horses and men and is highly fatal.
Also anthrax, yellow fever to be
transmitted not by mosquitoes but
possibly directly through the air,
undulant fever, parrot fever (psit
tacosis), the tick-borne typhuslike
diseases, botulinus poisoning, with
possibilities for developing some
thing not now known in flu, com
mon colds and maybe malaria.
There are also plant and animal
diseases with war possibilities.
Thirty-seven diseases are ruled
out as not good for war, because
of available vaccinations or diffi
culties of spreading them. These
include smallpox, cholera, typhoid,
streptococcus and stapynlococcus
infections, most pneumonias, lep
rosy and venereal diseases.
Women s Union Delegates

Delegates to the convention of
the National Women’s Trade Union
League were received by Mrs.
Truman at the White House today.
