Harris died at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, March 9, at Fort Knox, Ky . caused by meningitis, Senator Bayh expressed his concern to the Harrises, who are still too bereaved to discuss the charged negligence any more than is absolutely necessary The Senator told them of writing a letter to Armv Surgeon General, Lt. General Leonard D. Heatcn, as fellows in part: “Within the , past two months, three cases have been brought to my attention where three young servicemen received less than satisfactory medical attention. As a result two lives were lost and in the other case a man’s leg was amputated.” Os Private .Harris, Bayh wrote the general the following: “The third case involves Louis Harris. Louis died while stationed at Fort Knox from a case of meningitis. He had requested medical treatment and was given aspirin. He had reported to sick call the day before his death and was not hospitalized. And I have only today received a letter from several men who were in the* same barracks as Louis Harris. They have yet to receive any medical treatment although I understand meningitis is a contagious disease.” The letter was quite leng-

thy and closed with Indiana Senator Bayh’s request to be advised as to what can be done to avoid the negligence which “appears to have been involved in three cases” brought to his attention. He went on to state: “I am anxious, as 1 am sure you are, to see that tl is is not repeated.” CIVIL DEFENSE IN MARCH MEETING The Syracuse un t of Civil Defense met Thursday night for its regular March meeting.
