Strong Probability Os Epidemic Seen WASHINGTON (UP)—The government pushed a vigorous campaign today to cope with the strong probability of a nationwide epidemic of oriental flu this coming fall and winterU.S. Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney gave it to the public straight Thursday. A widespread outbreak of the Rew highly - contagious flu, which has been sweeping Asia and spreading over the world, is a “very definite probability” for the United States when cold weather 1 comes. A vaccine is being mass produced to fight it. But Burney said there will not be enough time to produce and administer sufficient . vaccine to immunize the bulk of the population before the danger period arrives. Burney expects the flu epidemic here-Ms it comes—to be a mild variety of the disease with a far lower death rate than in diseaseridden, poverty-stricken Asian nations. Actually the oriental flu itself, as far as it is known, does not cause death directly but following in its wake can come killers—diseases brought on in complications.

Robert Sprunger To IFYE Conference Annual Conference August 13 To 16 Robert F. Sprunger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin F. Sprunger, will attend the sixth annual IFYE conference at 4-H Camp Dawson, Dawson Springs, Ky., August 1316. Sprunger was • a delegate to France and North Africa during the spring and summer of 1953. He worked and lived with farm families, and learned the customs of the two countries. The chief aim of the conference is to explore ways to extend the scope and influence of the IFYE program. Delegates will share ideas on how they can continue to carry out the program’s objective, developing better understanding among rural people throughout the world. The privately financed program is sponsored by the cooperative extension service of the U. S. depirtment of agriculture, the land grant colleges and the national 4-H foundation. Since 1947, when the exchange program began, approximately 800 young men and women have gone overseas to live and work with farm families in more than 50 countries. Beulah Bertsch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bertsch, of French township, also took part in the program from Adams county. In exchange, foreign youths have come to the U. S. to observe agricultural methods and study American community - and social life. Secretary Os GOP Committee Ousted Gov. Handley Asks Sellers To Resign INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The name of James T. Neal, Noblesville daily newspaper editor, was mentioned today in connection with the choice of a successor to John V. Sellers who resigned Thursday as secretary of the Indiana Republican State Committee. Governor Handley, who asked Sellers to resign for “obvious reasons," was said to favor the appointment of an outstanding member of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association to fill the vacancy which will exist Aug. 10 unless a choice is made before then. f Neal, editor of the Noblesville Ledger, was listed as a probable choice tor the 912,000 a year job Sellers held since May, 1954Sellers, meanwhile, planned to talk with State Conservation Director Kenneth Marlin about <a $7,200 a year job as head of the public relations division of the conservation department. Handley offered Sellers the job when he asked for his resignation as secretary Wednesday, but Sellers didn't say yes immediately. Rewarding the IREA with the secretarial job is nothing new in Hoosier GOP history. Claude Billings of Akron, a weekly newspaper publisher, held the position for years. ' ■ ' ~

Marilyn Monroe Loses Her Baby Loses First Child By Miscarriage NEW YORK (UP) — Actress Marilyn Monroe suffered a miscarriage today and lost her baby nearly eight months before its expected birth. The 31-year-old actress, who is childless, was rushed 100 miles to Doctors Hospital here Thursday because of the threatened miscarriage. A hospital spokesman said Miss Monroe underwent surgery late Thursday night. The spokesman said the film star was in great pain during the operation, but was in satisfactory condition. She was given a blood transfusion during the surgery, the spokesman said. On her admittance to the hospital Thursday afternoon, Miss Monroe’s doctor said she was “five or six weeks pregnant” and that her baby was expected “around the end of March.” With her playwright - husband Arthur Miller at her side, the curvaceous screen star was wheeled into the hospital on a stretcher. The blonde film beauty was ex- ■ pected to be able to leave the hos- ; pital in a few days, a hospital 1 spokesman said today. In Hollywood Thursday, a fouri pound boy was born prematurely , to singer Rosemary Clooney, the ! wife of actor-director Jose Ferrer. Both mother and baby were reported in good condition Miller, who accompanied his wife on the ambulance trip from their summer home at Amagansett on Long Island, immediately checked into the hospital’s hotel section. He said he would remain at the hospital throughout his wife's stay. The playwright, patently nervous as his wife was brought into the hospital, said he could not recall any incident that may have induced the threatened miscarriage.
