Bayer Aspirin Criticized by Medical Society for the Handling of Epidemic of bcar let Fever in Metropolis The Omaha-Douglas County Medi cal society, in a public statement veiled criticism of the manner in which the city health department! handled recent spread of scarlet fever in the .metropolis and request ed city commissioners to "organize and staff the health department with a personnel to co-operate with phy sicians of the comr.iur.iti'." More than CCO rases of scarlet fever were re I crted during December. Criticism voiced in the medical society's statement, issued over the signature of Doctor Herman Jahr, secretary, wns directed at Dr. Millard Langfeld, public health director. Two weeks ago. Doctor Langfeld, in zti appearance before the council board of the society, suggested that many of the cases described as scar let fever might really be duke's dis ease, a form cf German measles. The council referred the matter to its preventive medicine committee, which in turn railed the problem to the attention of the Nebraska pediatric society, a group of child specialists within the medical society. The public statement said "the pediatric society was of the unani mous opinion that the disease which has been of unusual prevalence dur ing the past two months is scarlet fever." The statement continued: "Calling the epidemic duke's dis ease, scarlatina or German measles does not help in its control, but rath er add3 confusion to both physicians and public and creates a tendency toward lax Quarantine." "City health department through its director was entirely unjustified in announcing that the disease in many cases is not scarlet fever. Such methods of publicity tend to under mine the confidence of the family in its physician and creates antagonism in the physician toward the health authorities. The situation further more endangers the health of the community ," the statement read. JIMMY DALE WINS PAROLE Omaha.

FILINGS AT BROKEN BOW Redrafter Farm Bill Favored by Congress Chiefs "Everybody Happy," Says Secretary of Agriculture Wallace of New Agricultural Program. A new stop gap farm bill, de scribed as retaining the principle of individual subsidies for soil conser vation as a stepping stone to a per manent federal - state co - operative plan, emrged from another round of fast moving congressional develop ments. While President Roosevelt was tell ing his press conference at Washing ton, his ultimate goal was to make agriculture "as productve as it was 100 years ago," the all-democratic senate agriculture subcommittee, which Thursday rebelled against the original Jones-Bankhead bill, unani mously agreed on a redraft prepared overnight at the agriculture depart ment. Its details were withheld by Chair man Smith (d., S. C.) until after its presentation Saturday to the full committee. Senator Bankhead (d., Ala.), whose original draft Smith op posed vigorously on constitutional grounds, told newmen: "It is satis factory to me. Draw your own con clusions." Agrees on Modification. Chairman Jones (d., Tex.) of the house agriculture committee, after going over the redraft with Smith, said: "The modifications suggested in the main, in my personal Judg ment, would be helpful." The house committee also will consider the new draft Saturday. While Bankhead insisted the changes were minor, other than the major addition providing that after two j ears grants would be made only to states co-operating in a permanent farm plan yet to be worked out. Smith commented: "Wait till you see the revision. ' Secretary Wallece, who appeared before both senate and house groups, merely said: "Everybody's happy." The committee actively was accom panied by these other developments on the farm question: 1 President Roosevelt coupled his long-time objective of making agri culture as productive as it was a cen tury ago with a hope that farm legis lation to replace the AAA would be possible without a constitutional amendment. 2 Louis B. Ward, an adviser of Father Coughlin, invited a score of infiation-minded senators to a hotel dinner to discuss informally what some described as ways and means to maintain far mparity prices thru a further cheapening7 'ot the dollar. Potato Control Stranded. 3 The house, without a dissent ing vote, declined to appropriate funds to enforce the potato control act. 4 The house passed the deficiency appropriation bill with an amend ment carrying $295,185,000 to pay farmei-3 a "moral obligation" for carrying out acreage reduction con tracts entered into prior to the su preme court decision invalidating the AAA. 5 Senator Smith said southern senators had agreed to draft legis lation calling for systematic feeding of government-controlled cotton into trade channels, with proceeds In ex cess of the 12 cent loans and clearing charges going to producers. 6 The agriculture committtee of the chamber cf commerce of the Unit ed States, met with farm organization leaders, but made no recommenda tions. The committee will report to chamber directors next week. BABY FREEZES IN ITS CRIB Milwaukee.
