Threat of Malaria
Bobbing Up Again
With American troops again re
turning from the Far East, the
malaria threat has become a re
ality. Most of the new cases of
malaria are a strain of the disease
which has a latent period up to
three hundred days, instead of
ihe usual thirteeen days.
Even though a new and anti
malaria drug, Primaquin, has
been used on f®M>^^|^terans
effecti vely, the disv asi may
cur unexpectedly many months
after a serviceman has returned
to the United States and been dis
charged.
The Public Health Service has
reported that a state-by-state
check shows that of 5 127 cases
of malaria in 1951, 3,894 of them
involved servicemen. In many
states which are not considered
malarial the Far Eastern origin
ill this disease is clearly obvious.
Of 95 cases in New York in 1951,
80 involved military personnel.
Of New' Jersey’s 305 cases, 300
W'ere servicemen, and Colorado’s
307 cases were all military, or ex
military personnel.
Furthermore, an analysis of ten
states showed that 419 of 665 cases
had been contracted in foreign
lands.
Recently, the Association of
State and Territorial Health Of
ficers called for a control pro
gram to prevent the re-establish
ment of malaria as an endemic
disease. Citizens are asked to re
port all new cases of malaria im
mediately, so that a thorough in
vestigation can be made as to the
source of infection and that DDT
might be sprayed over the area
when necessary.
The Association noted that
without the cooperation of the
public, the control program could
not succeed and appeals to all for
support in the anti-malarial cam
paign.

Eisenhower’s Position In
Europe; ChurrliiE Is
Coming Soon
Washington.—President Harry j
Truman, once little concerned
about the effect of scandals on De
mocratic chances in the 1952 elec
tion, is now thoroughly co'ncei tied.
Even close friends of the President j
Wlf*seutt at insuwwA..*..*1 fv.at Ti u
man himself might be involved,
admit the income tax-Internal
Revenue Bureau scandal was the
straw that broke Truman’s back.
Coming on top of the other
scandals, and the resignation of
Bill Boyle as party chief, the In
ternal Revenue scandal erupted
at a most inopportune moment.
At about the same time, the ia-vv
Democratic party chief came un
der examination ijn the press and
Attorney - General Howard Mc
Grath’s reputation was being con
stantly challenged.
President Truman, realizing the
flood was not subsiding, but con
tinuing, has at last sniffed the
danger in the series of scandals.
Up until a few months ago, he
was confident the people believed
in his Administration's general
integrity. He blamed smear at
tacks for much of the bad publi
city given Democratic officials
but no longer can he rely on this
counter-attack
His shakeup of the Internal
Revenue Bureau was tne first
sign of the new presidential tem
per. The President knows if he al
lows the present Administration
to be tagged as corruption-ridden,
Democratic chances of winning
the 1952 election will disappear
almost completely. Until recently
he thought the scandals would die
down and be forgotten, but the
Internal Revenue Bureau scandal
punctured that dream.

It is probably accurate to pre
dict that a tougher policy wii! be
followed by the White House
from ow on, m executive appoint
ments, pnd that the Democrats
will try vigorously to protect the
parties name. Some Republicans
say confidently i! is already tooo
late for the President to make
amends to tin1 taxpayc v, 1hut the
Democrats have already lost Ihe
1952 election. In less than a year,
they will know whether that opin
ion is well-founded or not.
The longei general Dwight Eis
enhowei waits to announce his
entry into the political field, the
harder the task of ieavig his Eu
ropean command post becomes
Now that the General has propos
ed a speeded up program of re
armament in western Europe, his
personality and popularity are
needed to inspire and coordinate
more than ever. Many European
members of NATO are faced with
tough tasks in finding funds and
production capacity to meet the
speed up
Eisenhower took this into con
sideration in proposing the speed
up in Rome recently, and expects
aid from the United States to he
increased accordingly, as arma
ment goals are speeded. No one
but Ike can sell this program to
the United Stab . and Europeans,
many military officers say. Thus
the great need is for him to he in
Europe in th • next year, when

These same people argue that
NATO difficulties are just begin
ning, and that the longer Ike stays
on the job, the greater the need
for him will become. Certainly,
additional problems will lie caus
ed by the new NATO buildup pro
posal -which would give the Su
preme Commander in Flurnpe an
effective army by 1952 instead of
1954, Those who believe Ike
should not leave his military post
think his value as Supreme Com
mander might be greater in 1952
the first complete year of stress
than at any other time For Ike
-who is firstly a military man
-the decision is probably coming
hard.
Government officials in Wash
ington expect Winston Churchill
to bring an array of solutions and
proposals to various problems
with him who he comes to Wash
ington early next year. But
Churchill isn’t expected to ask a
cash handout It looks as though
steel, and other materials, will be
the Prime Minister’s major re
quest He is expected to tell U. S.
officials frankly that if the Labor
government rearmament goal of
13 billion dollars in three years
is to be attained, it will be through
U. S. aid .
The Conservatives are ready to
s'upport the goal as a desirable
one but they do not agree with
former Labor government esti
mates—that the goal is possible
without outside aid.
The armed services will proba
bly spare t’ inactive reserve of
ficer from compulsory ^service—
a sa general rule and with ex
ceptions—in 1952. The active re
serve, and volunteer reserve how
ever. is to be drawing pool for the
| services in the coming year. Ac

The Air Force is frowning on
j all involuntary recall and hopes
i to avoid this policy in future ex
pansions. The Navy and Army
j are about ready to call up orga
i nized reserve officers and volun
teer officers. The Air Force is
particularly eager to have all com
bat crews composed of volunteer
personnel.
Some Pentagon officers say next
year is the last in which reserve
officers will have to worry about
involuntary recall. The services
should be over the manpower
hump by that time, they say —
unless we arc in total war -thus
eliminating the urgent need for
World War 11 officers, which pre
sently is keeping thousands of
these veterans in doubt as to their
future.
