Foreign News Commentary

(By PHIL NEWSOM) The carcasses of hundreds of animals littered the sand. The desert around the almost deserted village was pitted with shallow bomb craters lined with fine white ash. And in the village graveyard I saw more than 100 freshly dug graves.” This was the eye-witness report that UPI correspondent John Lawton brought back after a visit to the Yemeni village of Ketaf last February. It dealt with the reported use of poison gas by President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s United

Arab Republic forces against royalist villages in Yemen, a report confirmed by the International Red Cross and by Pakistani doctors who treated the injured. Belatedly, last week, the United States and Britain announced they would support international steps to halt U.A.R. use of poison gas. In the more than four years of bitter fighting between Yemeni royalists and the Republican regime supported by the UA..R. there had been numerous reports of U.A.R. use of the gas. Up until last week, however, the U.S. response had been that it had no evidence to support the charges. From May through July, with the exception of a period in June during the Arab-Israeli fighting, some 500 Yemeni villagers have been reported killed in gas attacks on up to a dozen villages. Villagers at Ketaf told Lawton that nine Egyptian Illuyshin jet bombers dropped 27 bombs

which gave off a greenish colored, sweet smelling gas “killing everything wherever the wind blew.” British sources have identified the gas as phosgene, which was used in World War I but which is a sour smelling gas rather than a sweet one. There was no reported use of gas in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Since the end of World War I,

all nations have had a horror of these weapons while continuing to develop them. No less than six international conventions have agreed upon resoultions against the use of gas, incdluding the 1925 Geneva Convention to which Egypt is a dignatory. The Egyptians have vigorously denied the charges of using gas.

TB tests mandatory for new school children

This is the month when most of the 128,000 children preparing to enter Indiana schools for the first time are expected to receive a mandatory skin test for presence of tuberculosis germs. An estimated 500 children in Putnam County must show written evidence of the test results to be admitted to the first grade or kindergarten, according to Mrs. Ted Glidwell, executive director of the Putnam Conuty Tuberculosis Association.

“This is our newest weapon in the long battle against TB,” Mrs. Glidewell said. “It will reveal the presence of “hidden TB” in children who have never shown evidence of infection.” Not all children whose tests show “positive” reaction will prove to be seriously infected, i Mrs. Glidewell said. In many cases the reaction will mean only that the child has been in contact with someone who ia a source of infection. Local health authorities will be expected to trace the source

of infection—be it parent, relative, baby-sitter, or another person in close contact with the child. Such person then can be advised to seek diagnostic Xray for possible damage and receive proper treatment. At least seventy-five per cent of all newly diagnosed cases of active tuberculosis in adults are persons who were infected during early childhood. “If we can rear one generation free of TB, we will go a

down hard on prurience in films. Some get the fits if too! much violence is shown. Consequently, foreign versions often are never seen any place except in the cutting room of a studio or in special prints made for the Bel-Air circuit where stars, producers, directors and other rich members of the show biz community can enjoy their little inside joke. Victims of the foreign version gambit are the bosomy starlets who have given their all for their art Among the beneficiaries are cast and crew members on the set who enjoy observing the undraped female whether it be a bathtub scene or a bedroom

frolic.

More than one producer has an entire reel of foreign version scenes which have never reached the screen of any legitimate movie theatre in any civilized country. Often the nude or bedroom scene is included in the rough cut of the movie, the first version pasted together by the direction or film cutter. But once it reaches the motion picture producers association’s office, out it comes. The director knows all too well at the begining that his foreign version has no chance of being seen in Tokyo, London, Paris and especially Italy. But it does help lighten a dull day on the set.

Cool job

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. UPI—Nothing but cold cash was taken in a burglary at the Colorado Cabinet Co., officials told police. A spokesman for the firm said thieves took about $1.50 in coins from a refrigerator.

HONG KONG UPI — Pohce wearing bullet-proof vests burst into a luxurious apartment today and found a Communist time bomb factory. Later they acted on another tip and unearthed a cache of explosives hidden in a pit. The police action followed two bombing attacks on the Salvation Army headquarters in Kowloon Tuesday. Local Communists staged more bomb Weather calm after storms By United Press International Languid August skies prevailed throughout much of the country today. But before the quiet came the storms, especially in the Pensacola, Fla., area where 45-mile-an-hour winds whipped 2% inches of rain and one-quarter inch hailstones. The sudden downpour unroofed a Pensacola department store, injuring three persons slightly. Water from the storm also filled low-lying business sections with up to three feet of water and knocked out electricity. Most of the storms subsided by early today, with the only activity reported in the upper Mississippi Valley. On Tuesday 1% inches of rain fell at Muscle Shoals, Ala., and two inches drenched Eau Claire, Wis., aided by 40-mile-an-hour winds. The lowest reading in the country at 3 a. m. EDT today was a comparatively cool 48 at Kalispel, Mont. Neddeles, California, again came through with the high, a 99.

It involves placing a drop of germ-free ! liquid, called tuberculin, under the skin of the forearm. In I “positive” reactions the spot swells and reddens within a few days. Parents are responsible for seeing that the child receives the test. The local schoool cor- ^ poration bears the cost or sees 1 that the test is administered if the parent or guardian is un1 able to do so. Hie law requiring such tests was passed unanimously by both houses of the 1967 Indiana General Assembly. It places Indiana in the front rank of a | national program of child-cen-tered action against tuberculo-
