German Measles Are Danger In Pregnancy Virus Ordinarily ' Rather Harmless By DELOS SMITH Uft Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD— In the 17 years since medical science first realized it is dangerous for expect- . ant mothers to catch German measles, it has discovered no better way of avoiding the danger than exposing females to the disease when they are children. That is on the word of Drs. Saul Krugman and Robert Ward, professors at New York University, who are accepted as authorities on one of the oddest of the odd set-ups between human beings and the viruses which cause many of their ills. The German meases virus is rather harmless as viruses go, except in pregnant women. Almost always it Causes only a mild ilness and once you’ve had it, you never — or just about never—have it again. But it has a poorly understood power to damage the unborn. - I , , —. — at least once a weekl •* |A J ' LI AH Hrl ip’wv i 1 L ♦ Wh«t’» more, the deeeme the very finest in food and service.

Damage To Tissues Assembling the odds and ends of what science has discovered about this pdwer to date, Krugman and Ward found the damage usually is to those of the unborn babe's tissues which are developing most rapidly at the time the mother has German measles. If it’s in the sixth week of pregnancy, the damage may be to the eyes; if in the ninth week, the , ears; if between the fifth and tenth weeks, the heart. The first ■ three months of pregnancy are those of danger! If the woman ' catches German measles after ’ that! there usually is no damage to .the babe. There has been confusion as to how often German measles strikes at the Unborn, and Krugman and Ward clarified the question. The first statistics indicated .it happened in 90 per cent of the women who caught the disease during the dangerous months. But their analysis of later though contradictory statistics indicated the “attack rate” was about 12uper cent. Exposure Best Method .. J On the vital question of what to do, they recommended large injections of gamma globulin where there was the slightest suspicion that a pregnant woman who had never had German measles had been exposed to it. Gamma globu-

lin is the fraction of the blood which carries the antibodies that bestow immunity to specific diseases. But "the best method” of prevention is the long-range one, they continued, and that is "the deliberate exposure of young girls” to the virus because ’one attack of this benign disease in childhood is generally followed by immunity.” The New England Journal of Medicine, which published their report, pointed out the virus is not particuarly catchable. Therefore, many more persons acquire immunity to other childhood diseases when they should, in childhood, whereas German measles “plagues the high schools and colleges and, unhappily, the young married set.” RUSSIANS (Continued trom Page one) Lebanon at the invitation of the legitimate Lebanese government and that the United States promptly informed the United Nations and called on the world organization to take steps to handle the hew situation.

r Committee Action < Boon For Packers t Dims Prospects Os Closing Os Loophole WASHINGTON (UPD — The ’ House Agriculture Committee ■ dimmed prospects that Congress will close a loophole this year 1 through which some firms have escaped meat regulation by the Federal Trade Commission. The committee voted 16-8 Thursday against giving the FTC concurrent jurisdiction with the Agriculture Department for the next three years over trade practices of meat packers at the wholesale level. The committee action left standing a bill it previously approved which would give the FTC exclusive jurisdiction at the retail level. The loophole was created by an FTC ruling that it has no jurisdiction over trade practices of firms which own at least 20 per cent interest in a meat packing operation. In effect, the ruling said that all operations of such firms constitute meat packing and must come under the agriculture department. The committee vote reduced chances that the Senate and House will reach agreement on any legislation before Congress adjourns. The issue is complicated by a bitter fight within the meat packing industry. The Senate has passed a bill giving the FTC and the Agriculture Department permanent conpractices at the wholesale level tion at the retail level. The new and the FTC exclusive jurisdiccurrent jurisdiction over trade measure was offered in the House committee in hopes that it would lead to a Senate-House compromise. Its rejection was a setback for meat packers in western states who have been fighting to bring meat packers under FTC regulation at the wholesale level. They contend the FTC would provide them greater protection against threat of unfair competition in their area from the big four meat packers. It was a victory for the American Meat Institute which represents the big four meat packers and smaller packers in the eastern part of the country. To Process Broilers For Fair Wednesday Weldon Lehman, chairman of i the 4-H poultry exhibit for the I '-H fair, announced that the 4-H broilers will be dressed at Graber Produce in Berne Wednesday, July 23. 4-H members in the broiler project should have three of their birds there by 10 a.m. for processing.

Goldfine Ends Evidence With Smear Charge - > Investigators Open New Investigation Os Sherman Adams WASHINGTON (UPD —The investigation of Bernard Goldfine took a breather today an,d a second set of investigators aitent to work on a military contract case involving Goldfine’s White House friend, Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams. Goldfine, whose gifts to Adams and other officials have received nearly as much publicity as the Yuletide works of Santa Claus, moved out of the spotlight — at least temporarily — when the House Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight dismissed h i m Thursday after eight days pf testimony. The subcommittee is expected to issue a contempt citation against Goldfine for his refusal to answer questions about his business activities, although it may not come immediately. The Boston millionaire departed with a new charge of "smear” against the subcommittee and a complaint that its inquiry has hurt his textile and other interests. Even as Goldfine left the center of the stage, however, a House armed services subcommittee movpd in for a searching inquiry into the controversial refund of an Army textile contract in which Adams’ name was peroted to have figured. Goldfine was not involved. Chairman F. Edward Hebert (D-La.) of the military group said no formal decision had been made on whether to hold public hearings but signs pointed to public hearings in a week or two. The new case, turned up by the subcommittee that questioned Goldfine, involves the 1957 refund of $41,284 of q. penalty that had been assessed during World War II against Raylaine Worsted, Inc., a New Hampshire firm, for failings tc deliver clpth tq the Army GIVE (Continued from P»g« one! tern have less of a chance to recover.

Tentative Approval For Some Tax Cuts • Self-Employed To Goin Some Benefit w r« - on' WASHINGTON (UPD—The taxwriting House Ways < and Means Committee tentatively has approved a plan giving tax breaks to federal workers, the self-em-ployed and .railroad employes. The committee gave provisional the expected loss of revenue. The plan would allow persons to deduct from their taxable income certain amounts paid into compulsory federally operated retirement programs'. The deduction would be allowed on amounts up to S2OO which are paid as a result of deductions in excess of 3 per cent. ’ . This would provide varying amounts of tax relief ford) federal employes who pay per cent of their entire salary into the civil service retirement fund; (2) railroad workers who pay 6*4 per cent of their first $350 in monthly earnings into the railroad retirement fund: and (3) self-employed persons covered by social security who pay a 3 per ceftt tax on their first $4200 in annual earnings. But it would provide no immediate tax relief for other classes of workers covered by social security. since their tax rate now is only 2Vt per cent. Even if Congress should enact proposals to liberalize social security benefits which the committee is studying, the social security tax rate on employes would not rise above 3 per cent before 1965. The tax cut for self-employed persons covered by social security in most cases would amount to no more than about $3 a year. But under a special tax relief plan tentatively approved by the committee last week, self -employed persons could defer payment of income taxes on amounts ranging up to $2,500 which are invested in retirement funds or annuities.

BRITISH (Continued frem pare one; that toppled Iraq’s pro - Western government Monday, although this possibility was not ruled out later. Informants said the main purpose of the meeting thus far was to coordinate strategy in Jordan and Lebanon. Trouble On All Sides The United States is still worried about conditions in Lebanon where President Eisenhower’s special trouble - shooter, Robert Murphy, is working for a government rebel compromise. There were also troublesome questions in Jordan where British paratroops landed Thursday to help Hussein thwart a reported plot to take over his governm&it. The Wes tern Allies were concerned about policing Jordan’s large bloc of Palestinian Arab refugees from whom came elements that almost overthrew Hussein previously. The Iraq situation is considered potentially the most dangerous as far as war possibilities are concerned. Any overt Western-backed move to try to oust the Sovietrecognized rebel regime might tempt Egyptian, Syrian and even Russian intervention in behalf of the rebels. Incidents Denied Top U. S. officials still maintained they did not seriously fear any actual Soviet intervention despite Russia's bitter verbal attacks on the Western landings, and despite Soviet troop maneuvers on the border of pro-Western Iran. The State Department late Thursday denounced Russia and Nasser’s United Arab Republic for a propaganda barrage seeking to inflame the Arab world ag a in s t this country and its Marines. Department spokesman Lincoln White said radio transmitters in Moscow, Cairo, and Damascus, Syria, have begun “to broadcast false stories of alleged incidents between American Marines and the Lebanese.” He said actually there had been no incidents. , , i (Dispatcßfes frdm Lebanon reported Thursday that two Marines were captured by insurgents but released after two hours of questioning. Rebel snipers fired a I few shots toward Marine guard- > ing the dock area of Beirut earlier. The Marines returned the : fire and the rebels withdrew.)
