NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Death|

raje from tuberculosis in the United States continues to decline, despite &n upswing of cases in European countries, it is revealed here in a report by the National Tuberculosis association. Last year 44 persons died of the disease for every 100,000 population, compared with 46 the previous year. This totaled 59,173 persons dead and 105,714 new cases reported. Despite continued reduction in the death toll, there is siowing up of the downward trend of cases in this country. Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing director of the association, warns that under wartime . conditions, tuberculosis may show an increase here, just as it already has in warring countries of Europe. War Has Effects “Various theories have been offered to explain the increase abroad,” Dr. Emerson reports. “Among them are decreased resistance, due to longer hours of work, strain, anxiety, inadequate . diet, broken rest, overcrowded homes, and shortage of medical ang nursing personnel. “There is every reason to Neliove

Reports Latvian Sinking

Radio operator Theodore Hergenrader who was aboard the American cargo-passenger ship said he saw the Latvian vessel sunk shortly before dawn in mid-August in the Caribbean. There was “a big loss of life—I don’t know how many, but it was about 25,” he said. Five hours before, he had heard the Egyptian ship frantically broadcasting that it was sinking 20 miles

Four minutes after he saw the Latvian ship go down, Mr. Hergenrader’s ship was torpedoed. Five crewmen and three passengers were killed. Forty survivors were picked up by a British warship two hours after the attack. The ship’s
