Epidemic Os Asiatic Flu Seen Probable Health Officials See Flu Outbreak . :■ -fx- By LOUIB CASSELS ' " ’ United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP) - Public health officials think it is increasingly probable that this country will have an epidemic of Asiatic - nfluenza. ‘ On the wall of Dr. William H. Stewart'S office is a big map' of the United States. It is already liberally sprinkled with red dots which indicate localized outbreaks in 13 states from Rhode Island to California. Dr. Stewart is assistant to the surgeon general, U.S. Public Health Service. His main job these days is preparing for the expected epidemic. His map depicts with long red arrows how the disease has been “seeded” all over the country—by Boy Scouts returning from their annual jamboree at Valley Forge, Pa.; by college girls who attended a national conference at Grinnel. Iowa; by participants in a youth meeting at Davis, Calif.; by sailors from ships which came from the Far East to San Diego, Calif., Newport, R. 1., and Norfolk, Va.; and by many individual travelers. The Question: When? The big question is when these localized outbreaks — still rather widely scattered—will flare into an epidemic. Historically, most flue epidemics in this country flare up in late October or November. But the deadly one of 1918 began in Boston at [the end of August and swept i across the nation like a great tidal wave within four weeks. The best guess of public health experts at the moment is that the national epidemic is not likely to start before Sept. 15. After that, the probality will grow greater with each passing day. Drug manufacturers are work- ( ing shifts around the clock to produce a new vaccine which is expected to give about 70 per cent : protection against Asiatic flu. But at best, only about five million shots will be available to civilians by Sept. 15. After that, vaccine wll be pouring into civilian medical channels at a rate of about five million doses a week. It takes 10 to 14 days for the vaccine to take effect. So it is obvious that an early epidemic would find comparatively few civilians inoculated. Priartty System Set Although no formal system of rationing or priorities is planned, the Public Health Service is urging that doctors, nurses and hospital workers get their shots at the first opportunity. It is imperative that they stay on their feet during an epidemic, to take care of the minority of patients who will develop serious complications. Other groups who perform essential community services—such ~as firemen, police, transportation workers—also are being asked to get vaccinated early. Elderly people who have chronic ailments, such as heart disease or tuberculosis, are particularly vulnerable to influenza. It is desirable that as many of these as possible be protected by vaccine. Babies under 18 months of age also are susceptible to pneumoma resulting from flu, but they sometimes have an adverse reaction to the vaccine. The health service has asked the American Academy of Pediatrics to recommend whether infants should be vaccinated, and if so, whether a reduced dose is indicated. What about the average healthy child or adult? Is it desiraWe for him to be vaccinated? The Public Health Service says yes. if supplies are available. If not, don t fret about it. Remember that you arent likely to die of Asiatic flu. The death rate was only two per 1.000 cases in Asia, where medical facilities arc notoriously inadequate. So far in this country it has been much lower three deaths recorded among about 20,000 cases.

Rights For Higher Foreign Aid Fund ] WASHINGTON <UP) — Republi- i can congressional leaders said at | the White House today that President Eisenhower definitely will ; not compromise on the civil rights bill in return for more favorable congressional treatment of his foreign aid program. After a lengthy meeting between the President and GOP congressional leaders, Sen. William F. Knowland denied in blunt terms a report that the chief executive may be willing to accept a compromise on civil rights “if he gets more of what he wants on foreign aid.” “The President is not trading the constitutional rights of any American to vote for any piece of legislation,” the Senate Republican leader said. “And also, the national defense of our country should not be put on the trading block.” House GOP Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. said that although House Republicans will fight to pass “a real bill” at this session, it may be better to recess Congress or have the President call both houses back into special session in November rather than accept the Senate version of the bill. Martin added that the idea of a possible special session was entirely his and was not discussed this morning with the President. He said he believed the best chance of changing the Senate bill, particularly the adrtiinistration opposed jury trial amendment, lay in sending the measure to a HouseSenate conference. Democrats oppose this, saying it could result in a deadlock preventing passage of any civil rights measure. Find Man's Body At Fort Wayne Outskirts FORT WAYNE <UPI —The body of a man identified as Mosely Jr., 43. Detroit, was found lying beside a car today on U.S. 24 on the outskirts of the city.

Boston Newspaper Talks Deadlocked All But One Daily Newspapers Closed BOSTON (UP) - A state labor official today planned a second bargaining session between the Boston Mailers’ Union and representatives of the city’s six strikebound newspapers. A meeting of the two groups Mdnday ended in a deadlock. Massachusetts Labor and Indus*, tries Commissioner Ernest A. Johnston said Monday night he would approach both sides and ask that negotiations resume Wednesday. There seemed little hope of a quick settlement of the strike which has closed six of Boston’s seven daily papers. The four-day-old walkout affecting the morning and evening Globe, the Herald-Traveler and the Record-Amcrican-Advertiser has cut off a circulation of 1,250,000. Johnston said labor and management refused to alter their original positions in the wage dispute which has been under negotiation since 1956. The 300 Mailers’ Union workers, now earning $94.13 a week, turned down an $8 boost spread over two years. They said the offer was “substandard” and asked for an immediate increase to sllO weekly. Max Milstein, union president, said Monday the two factions “never got close together up there. We stayed in one room and they stayed in another.” He said he thought it would be a “miracle” if the two sides settled their differences quickly. The strike has idled some 5,000 other newspaper employes who were temporarily suspended when the strike was called Friday night. Most of the other unions within the newspaper plants supported the strike action. The only daily newspaper unaffected by the walkout was the Christian Science Monitor, which
