Dorm Food Epidemics

EARIE this month, 60 wo*en in Betsy
Barbour were stricken by violent attacks
of nausea.
A few days later, the epidemic was over-
but good.
For the second time in two years, wide-
spread sicknesses bearing all the earmarks
of food infection hit, subsided and passed
into oblivion with the vague pronounce-
ments of Health Service officials.
In 1949, epidemiologists took tests of food
which had been rumored as the cause of a
wave of illnesses in West Quad. Results:
"inconclusive." In the 1951 Betsy Barbour
incident-same rumors, probably the same
tests. Results: "inconclusive."
Both times, the epidemics passed quickly,
the tests were concluded inconclusively in
a short time and everybody forgot about the
whole 'thing. It is unfor 'unate that the
causes of these relatively minor instances
have not been investigated before a danger-
ous level of sickneses is reached.
Three facts lead to the suspicion that
the food infection is at the bottom of the
two epidemics:
1) Those affected displayed all the symp-
toms of illness from food contamination.
2) Some of the food served in the dormi-
tories and the method of preparing it are
conducive to infection.
3) Health Service spokesmen have failed
to report their findings on the food, if any,
and have kept the nature of the tests in the
dark.
Food poisoning symptoms are, generally,
vomiting, nausea, wretching, cramps, diar-
rhea and chills. In addition, the incubation
period of the enetrotoxin in the human body
is from two to six hours. And recovery from
the malady takes from 24 to 48 hours.
The Big Six in symptoms are common
to other illnesses as well. But the wide-
spread and simultaneous exhibition of
these symptoms plus the short incubation
and recovery periods are almost definitely
indicative of food infection.

dorms which are not refrigerated properly
are very conducive to contamination. High
on the list of these are creamed dishes (such
as creamed chicken and custard pie) and.
thick starch foods (such as dressings,
eclaires and cakes).
These are all natural culture media for
bacteria. They are not safe for consump-
tion when exposed for a long period of tima
to above-freezing air. In many dorm kit-
chens, such foods are often left around on
tables or placed in pseudo-refrigeration units
called "cold rooms."
Among the tests used for determining food
contamination, probably the most commonly
used is the Stone Test, a culture method.
The test involves innoculating the food ma-
terial into a culture medium, looking for
growth, picking off the colonies and identi-
fying the organisms.
In order for this test to prove conclusive,
it is necessary to have a special medium,
pick off the right colonies, sub-culture
correctly and make a valid identification
of t e organisms. Furthermore, a real
desieto find the cause of the trouble is
required.
A simpler and more conclusive test is the
Harmon Cat Test. The process here is in-
jection of the food into a kitten which will
display the same symptoms that man does
if the food is contaminated.
Which tests the Health Service laboratory
uses in its occasional probes into dorm food
is unknown. Officials connected with the
tests have consistently passed the buck from
one to another with the result that no in-
formation has been available to the public.
It is rather important to several thousand
dormitory residents that- the nature and
results of the tests are made known. If the
testers are using a culture method, there is
a large chance that results will never be ob-
tained. An integral part of the process is
the temporary assumption that something
is to be found.
A Health Service spokesman has said,
"We probably will never know what lies
behind these epidemics. In such cases,
chances are less than one out of ten that
evidence can be found."
This is poor mathematic(.
It is a dangerous mistake not to admit the
percentage of possibility is high in a sincere
attempt to safeguard the health of the stu-
dents.,

ON THE
Washington Merry-Go Round
WITD DREW PEARSON

MATTER OF FACT
By JOSEPH ALSOP
LONDON-As these words are written, the
betting appears to be about even that
the British will move troops to south Per-
sia. At any rate they are just about up
against the grim choice between taking all
the heavy risks of this step, or taking the
consequences of outright expropriation of
their Iranian oil resource.
Furthermore, the British cannot eas-
ily move troops without a minimum of
American moral support-at least enough
to see them through a charge of aggre"-
sion before the United Nations. The fu-
ture of the Western alliance, which Amer-
ica leads, also hangs upon the outcome in
Persia. Hence this British choice is, at
the same time, inescapably an American
choice.
Until now, even the hardier spirits in the
Foreign Office have only been talking about
moving troops to "protect the lives of Bri-
tish nationals" in Persia. Now, however, the
veils are dropping. It is almost certain that
Sir Oliver Franks has already been in-
structed to talk with Secretary of State
Dean G. Acheson about the more realistic
problem -of protecting the foundations of
the British economy and the strategic bal-
ance in the Middle East.
Events over the weekend forced this fac-
ing of facts, from which London has hither-
to shrunk away almost as nervously as
Washington. On Saturday, the British Am-
bassador at Teheran, Sir Francis Shepherd,
rather desperately suggested to the Shah
that he might form a more rational govern-
ment. But it was too late for this expedi-
ent. On Sunday while the Prime Minister,
Dr. Mossadegh, crouched in his barricaded
room, his representative, Hussein Makki,
told the Persian Parliament that the exist-
ing government would never negotiate the
oil dispute with the British.
** *
A MIRACLE may of course rescue the Bri-
tish and American policy makers from
the dilemma on whose horns they have been
wriggling like befuddled tadpoles. But since,
little short of a miracle can prevent the
grim choice from being made this week, it
is now wise to examine its real nature.
No one in his senses can find much that is
attractive about the first alternative - a
movement of British troops to south Persia.
Britain does not really have enough air-
borne forces for the job. Even to secure
control of the minimum territory, Abadan
island with its vital refinery, will be a dirty
business, probably involving heavy losses of
life on both sides. Such a crass imperialist
act will make, to say the least, a bad im-
pression elsewhere in the Middle and Far
East.
It may touch off a Russian invasion of
north Persia. It will quite probably give
the Communist Tudeh party-the desired
chance to seize power at Teheran. It will
perhaps result in a far more disagreeable
repetition of the Korean pattern on Per-
sian soil. It may, just conceivably, lead to
a world war. The list of objections is for-
midable indeed.
But as usual, the choice now is not be-
tween bad and good, but between evil and
more evil. If American influence or indif-
ference deters the British government from
protecting their oil resource, the following
consequences will be almost unavoidable.
* *. *
FIRST, the British economy, which de-
. pends exclusively upon Middle Eastern
oil, will receive a fatal blow. The huge Am-
erican investment in maintaining the British

as a great power ally will be transformed
into money down the drain. What has pre-
viously been done for Britain will be for-
gotten because4 America has not stood by
her ally in this hour of need; and the An-
glo-American partnership, the core of Wes-
tern strength, will dissolve in a tempest of
mutual recrimination.
Second, the economies of Western Europe
and India will also be disrupted. And a ces-
sation of the oil flow from Abadan will make
it fantastically costly, and in wartime al-
most prohibitively difficult, to supply the
fleets in the Meditteranean and the vital
strategic airbases there.
Third, Persian success in expropriating
British oil will set an example that will
quickly be Imitated in Egypt, in Iraq,
and in every other nation in a remotely
similar situation. There will be no con-
trolling the chain reaction. Furthermore,
the strain imposed on these weak govern-
ments by biting off so much more than
they can chew, will equally inevitably
produce secondary political results of great
violence. Dr. Mossadegh and his followers
think they are keeping one jump ahead of
the Tudeh party by their handling of the
oil issue. But it is even more likely that
the Tudeh will be the ultimate bene-
ficiary if Dr. Mossadegh now succeeds in
his plans, than if he is frustrated by for-
cible measures.
The price of a policy of inaction, in short,
is a gigantic change in the world balance of
power, altering the whole Middle Eastern
pattern, shaking the Western alliance to its
foundations, and perhaps destroying it. This
is no Mexican oil squabble. This is the ter-
rible game of power politics, being played

SA Project
To the Editor:
STUDENT Legislature has begun
a project to help integrate for-
eign students into the' University
community. The method of doing
this will be simple, but effective.
It consists of having American stil-
dents correspond with foreign stu-
dents who are planning to enroll
in the fall and, if possible, meet
these students at the train when
they arrive and show them the
town, introducing them to friends.
In this way, the foreign student
will feel less inclined to find other
foreign students as soon as possible
and spend the rest of his years
here with students frog home.
Writing an American student will
make the foreign student feel that
he has a friend here to whom he
can turn for help and advice. Thus,
both Americans and foreign stu-
dents will benefit through this
program of integration; each will
return home having learned more
about other peoples and their way
of life.
If you would like to become a
direct part of this program, writing
to a foreign student and helping
him to become acquainted with
the campus and America in gen-
eral; drop a postcard or telephone
the Student Legislature Building
at 122 South Forest. The telephone
number is 3-4732. Please include
information as to your summer
address and the date on which you
are planning to return to school
in the fall.

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN1

WASHINGTON-A group within the Ca-
binet and the State Department Po-
licy Committee are working- backstage with
the Democratic National Committee to find
a successor for Dean Acheson. They regard
their job as twofold: 1. to convince the Pres-
ident he ought to let Acheson go for the
good of the country and party; 2. to find a
man so acceptable that HST will buy.
. One leader of this group is Secretary of
the Interior Oscar Chapman, and this was
a main topic for discussion behind closed
doors at the Denver Democratic powwow.
The formula this group has in mind as
Acheson's successor is: a progressive, inter-
nationally minded Republican, vigorous,
healthy, and with congressional experience.
Secretary Chapman, who will deny this
vigorously if questioned, even sounded out
one possible candidate before going to Den-
ver.
-GOP'S BEST TARGET-
It is no accident that Republican Sena-
tors launch a barrage against Dean Acheson
at least once a week, interspersed with pre-
dictions that he is about to be fired.
For ,the Republicans have found: 1. that
Acheson is one of their best political assets;
and 2. they are shrewd enough to know
that the more they jump on him, the long-
er Truman will freeze him into office.
It sounds incredible, but it is almost axi-
omatic in the Truman administration that
when you criticize a public official too vig-
orously, you arouse Harry Truman's fight-
Ing instincts and insure that he will stay
on indefinitely. That's what happened when
I went after General Harry Vaughan.
Inside fact is that Acheson had told the
President last year that he wanted to re-
tire. There was even talk that he would step
out around Jan. 1. But MacArthur's tragic
reversal in North Korea occurred in Novem-
ber-December, followed by British Prime
Minister Attlee's hurried trip to Washington.
After this crisis had cooled, it again look-
ed as if Acheson were ready to retire. But
siddenly the MacArthur debate burst loose.
And by now the Republicans realize that
he is their best political target and they are
determined to keep hammering at him.
PE BITTER FEUD between the pro-Taft
and pro-Eisenhower factions inside the
Republican Party so far has been carefully
NOTHING will sustain you more potently
than the power to recognize in your
humdrum routine, as perhaps it may be

concealed. However, the current struggle for
convention delegates will soon force both
factions out into the open.
The fight for Texas's 37 delegates to the
Republican convention is typical of the un-
dercover contest between the friends of Taft
and Ike, which is taking place in practically
every state of the union.
Eisenhower spokesman in Texas is Hous-
ton's wealthy oilman, H. J. "Jack" Porter,
a long-time personal friend of Ike's and a
big contributor to the GOP. Porter has been
quietly lining up delegates and is in fre-
quent touch with Pennsylvania's astute
Sen. Jim Duff, unofficial captain of the
pro-Eisenhower forces.
In recent weeks, however, Porter's well-
laid plans have been thrown out of gear by
Republican National Committeeman Henry
Zwiefel of Fort Worth, who is passing out
word that he's supporting Ike, and that he,
not Porter, has been selected to round up
Eisenhower support.
The conflict between Porter and Zwiefel
has thrown confusion into Republican ranks
and plays into the hands of the pro-Taft
Republicans. Furthermore, what only a
handful of top Republicans know is that
Zwiefel is secretly committed to support
Taft. He made this definite commitment on
January 25 when he was in Washington for
a meeting of the Republican National Com-
mittee.

-NORTH KOREAN PRISONERS-
T'S A REGRETTABLE but inescapable
fact that friction is increasing between
Korean President Syngman Rhee and Gen.
Matt Ridgway.
Latest friction has been Rhee's nagging
at Ridgway to free 35,000 North Korean
prisoners of war to join the South Korean
Army and to help with the spring farming in
South Korea. These prisoners have been
screened by a South Korean inspection team,
appointed by Minister of Defense Lee Kee
Bung, who reported that of the 144,000
North Koreans in UN prison camps, 35,000
have either reformed or were not Commun-
ists in the first place.
However, the American Ground Forces
Commander in Korea, Lt. Gen. James Van
Fleet, rejected the report and refused to
release a single North Korean. Van Fleet
warned that he did not trust the North Ko-
reans, that if 35,000 were released, the Allies
may have to capture them all over again. He
was backed up in his decision by General
Ridgway.
President Rhee replied that the 35,000 had

Dr. Silver and Mr.

To the Editor:

ALLAN SILVER, in the May 22
issue of The Daily, states: "In
general, we cannot yield to the
special claims which any group,
minority or majority, makes upon
the mass media, no matter how
sympathetic we may be with the
legitimate aspirations of that
group." He speaks here in his capa-
city as director of. the Neptune
Film Society, in defense of his in-
tention to bring Birth of a Nation
to Ann Arbor.
The same Allan Silver, in the
May 23 Issue of The baily, states,
"The entire University should now
demand that our Medical School
join in recognizing the great dam-
age done to the University's repu-
tation by discriminatory applica-
tion blanks." He signs as a mem-
ber of the Committee to End Dis-
crimination.
I know Mr. Silver to be a very
sincere person. I don't question
that at all. What I do question is
the consistency of his position.
What is the difference, Mr. Silver,
between Neptune Film Society
yielding to pressure and the Medi-
cal School yielding to pressure of
the same sort? In both cases, the
pressure is being applied for the
same purpose: to end discrimina-
tion. But shouldn't the Medical
School be as free to promote dis-
criniination by means of its ap-
plication blanks, as is Neptune by
means of its film showings? .Mr.
Silver doesn't seem to think so, for
some reason. I'd be very happy if
Mr. Silver would explain the logi-
cal distinction between the two
types of pressure, one of which he
advocates, the other of which he
condemns violently.

Discrimination
To the Editor,
ANY person who has ever been
to the two English-speaking
Unions-the United States and the
Union of South Africa, will be in-
clined to believe that the rights of
man have been abused.
In the United States where
every attempt is being made to
retain foreign and internal friend-
ship some groups are still blind
to the lessons of history.
The complexes in many Ameri-
cans are daily being increased by
bad movies like "The Birth of a
Nation" and "King Solomon's
Mines." Film societies in this
country fail to show the glories of
African empires of the past that
ruled Southern Europe for cen-
turies. The Negro whose morale
is destroyed by these films be-
comes frustrated. The adverse ef-
fect of such an unfriendly society
shocks the stranger who is foreign
to racial discrimination.
Every thinking person knows

etteA4 TO THE EDITOR
The Daily welcomes communications from Its readers on matters of
general interest, and will publish all letters which are signed by the writer
and in good taste. Letters exceeding 300 words in length, defamatory or
libelous letters, and letters which for any reason are not in good taste will
be condensed, edited or withheld from publication at the discretion of the
editors.

that misrepresentation is an im-
portant tool of imperialism; but
imperialism itself cannot survive
in the modern world. It is also
evident that if' such actions are
allowed to continue retaliation and
repercussions will be inevitable. If
we are today building up strength
for future protection, there is no
reason why we should not attain
the Mme goal morally.
Since the business man is al-
ways more interested in his profits;
than in the welfare of others, Ir.
becomes the duty of organizations
such as the S.L., N.A.A.C.P to in-.
stitute measures that will termin-
ate racial discrimination on cam-
pus. The college authorities also
can re-educate the discrimination--
ridden organizations which tend
to intensify racism.
I think that although the ma-
Jority of Americans are ibrought
up in a society of racial prejudice,
there is no reason to believe that.
they cannot adjust themselves to
the changing times.
-F.i . C. Ememe
Navy Eyesa .
To the Editor:
LAST month, in applying or a
commission, the Navy, checked
my eyes to be 5/20 and 3/20-and
I was rejected. Yesterday, I had
another examination by the Navy.
This time I was being recalled to
active duty as an enlisted reserv-
ist. The eye examiner, without;
having me read a chart, listed
both eyes as 20/20.
This is not a protest for being
recalled to active duty, rather it is
a protest- to the methods em-
ployed in our so-called "free sow
ciety." During the last war, the
Navy, with its billion dollar ap-
propriations, had no facilities for
providing eye glasses for its per-
sonnel. Back in 1944, when I pro-
tested in a letter to a U. S. Sena-
tor, he replied that the Navy had
no personnel that required eye
glasses in order to perform their
duties. At the time, my vision
without glasses was recorded on
my navy health record as 5/20
and 4/20. A person with such
vision can not cross a street with-
out glasses, let alone fight in a
war. As an added strange twist
to the situation , the Navy has lost
my World War II health record
and issued me a new one listing
only my new miraculously im-
proved vision.
It is my belief that the Navy's
socialized method of medicine
should recognize that some people
have defective vision and that
such defects should be corrected
by providing eye glasses, and not
by changing health records.
