Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of discussions of rheumatio fever by the . Utah County Medical Society. By Dr. Elmo Eddington, Lehl The history of rheumatic fever covers a relatively short space of time. Rheumatism was considered consider-ed as allied to gout and any other disease involving joints and muscles and little attention was paid to its cardiac or heart manifestations. mani-festations. During the last decade we have come to learn of the almost constant occurrence of heart damage in childhood rheumatism, the tendency to recurrence re-currence of acute attacks in rheumatic individuals, and the liability of eventual heart breakdown. break-down. . It is interesting to observe the trend of research as to etiology or cause and the pathology or results re-sults of the disease. The allergic hypothesis suggested thirty years ago by Dr. Menzer and advanced in-recent years by such men as Swift, Zinsser, and Weil, has done much to advance our understanding understand-ing of many of the puzzling points presented by this disease and has prepared the way for studies with a definite aim. Incidence or Occurrence One cannot sufficiently emphasize empha-size the severity and extreme prevalence of this disease and its economic importance. Rheumatic fever must be considered essentially essen-tially a disease of the heart and in this regard, a severe and crippling crip-pling disorder. It is in no sense limited to the joints. Askins estimates esti-mates that one half of all heart cases are of rheumatic origin, and one twenty-fourth of all deaths in England and Wales are caused by rheumatic fever . in -(childhood. Paul estimates the theoretical incidence of rheumatic heart disease in a population of 100,000,000 at 840,000 cases. In the mortality and morbidity report of the Utah state board of health for 1944 there were a total of 4,726 deathsT Heart disease was the leading cause accounting for 1,448. The report states that while many of these deaths were in the older age groups an accurate history in many cases would un doubtedly show that the begin ning of their trouble was an attack at-tack of acute rheumatic feyer in childhood. During this same year 206 cases of rheumatic fever were reported with an additional 71 cases reported from army hospitals. hos-pitals. In Utah county there were 26 cases with 4 deaths. Dr. Kriete states in an article in the pamphlet pam-phlet "Your Health,"' for April 1944, that in 1943 infantile par- alysis killed 22 people in Utah lowing diseases combined Typhoid Ty-phoid fever, meningitis, , scarlet fever, . whooping cough, diphtheria, diph-theria, lockjaw, infantile , paralysis, par-alysis, tuberculosis, measles: and Influenza. ' ;, Etiology or Cause of the Disease The role played by streptococci strepto-cocci is apparently a major one in the production of rheumatic fever. Whether or not a specific strain is responsible cannot yet be decided, but if we accept the allergic hypothesis of the cause of the disease it is of less importance import-ance than we formerly thought. As Swift says "The so-called Allergic theory does not establish unequivocally the etlologic role of streptococci in rheumatic fever but only furnishes us with - the best explanation of how the different dif-ferent strains could all induce a similar clinical and microscopic picture and the conditioning or sensitization which causes the condition of reactivity of the in dividual which we term rheumatic rheum-atic fever is brought about by a chronic infection." One fact that has been clearly demonstrated is the frequency of the appearance of an attack of active rheumatism after a streptococcic infection, be it tonsilitis, streptococcic respira tory disease, sinusitis or scarlet fever. The patient who suffers thus has probably been previously sensitized and the common site of chronic infection provoking this sensitization is the tonsil. Predisposing Causes- Racial differences do not seem to affect strongly the predisposi tion to rneumatic lever and in temperate climates no race seems immune. Heredity may have some bearing bear-ing on predisposition but its role is not definitely established. A previous attack comers no immunity against subsequent at tacks, in fact repeated attacks are the rule rather than the ex ception. rregnancy seems to act un favorably on rheumatic fever. Climate Rheumatic fever is a disease of temperate climates. There is a distinct diminution in the disease as the equator is reached. Clark believes that rheumatic fever is practically an unknown disease in the tropica zone at or near sea level. Season There seems to be a rapid rise in incidence in the late summer with the high frequency in the fall months and a drop at the beginning be-ginning of winter. In the U. S. the disease is distinctly more frequent in the late winter and early spring. Altitude Sears' $10,000 Grant Will Aid Livestock : p,,, " '" 1 I'-ll i ,W..

Keitel Admits He Ordered Killing of Soviet Prisoners ' To aid Utah range stock by improved breeding, the Sears-Roebuck Sears-Roebuck foundation has made a grant of 510,000 to be administered ad-ministered by the USAC. The Sears Roebuck foundation grant was presented by E. W. Jenkins, Utah district manager man-ager for the firm, to L. C. Montgomery, president of the Utah Livestock and Horse Growers' association, and to James A. Hooper, chairman of the Salt Lake City cham ber of commerce livestock committee. The money will be used to purchase proved sires in range beef cattle best adapted to Utah type ranges. Herds will be established at the USAC at Logan, and later at the BAC at Cedar City, and will be developed along rigid standards until animals from the herd may be placed with growers under an experimental experi-mental agreement. Through the granting of the fund, a definite improve ment in the average range stock should be noted in a few years, according to Mr. Montgomery. In addition some of the stock will eventually be available to junior growers grow-ers who raise stock for exhibition ex-hibition and sale in the an- . nual intermountain junior fat stock show sponsored each June by the Salt Lake chamber cham-ber of commerce, the Salt Lake and Davis county commissions com-missions and the state of Utah.

Ase This disease is particularly prevalent pre-valent during childhood and early adult life. According to Church 58 of the first attacks occur under the age of 20. The average age of onset seems to be from 7 to 10 or from 5 to 15 as the age of preponderance of initial attack. Sex There perhaps is no great difference dif-ference in incidence in the two sexes. Social Conditions Rheumatic fever seems to be more prevalent in cities than in rural districts. It is certainly more common under conditions of overcrowding over-crowding and poor housing, and where the spread of throat infections in-fections is favored. ELDERLY MAN KILLED BY IDAHO TRAIN CALDWELL. Ida., April 6 (U.R) An elderly man identified as Otis O. Parker, Caldwell, was struck and killed by a freight train on a bridge crossing the Boise river a mile west of here late yesterday. Parker's body was mangled and dismembered. Engineer Eugene W. Fisher said he did not see the man in time to come to a stop before the accident occurred. Parker was a patient in a Caldwell Cald-well Nursing Home. who allegedly admitted member ship in the Ku Klux Klan. The investigation of Klan activity, ac-tivity, in southern California was ordered when the Rev. Wesley Swift, pastor of the Lancaster Christian church, told investigators investiga-tors that he belonged to the Klan and that it had paid him $45 expense ex-pense money for four lectures. Swift lectured on Klan activity at a meeting of the Big Bear Lake American Legion post and was quoted by the Grizzly, weekly newspaper, as saying: "The Klan is here to stay.

The former German chief of staff hedged, cringed and quibbled wnue uen. Roman Rudenko cross-examining in a. fire and Brimstone manner. Dinned him down on German orders concern ing partisan activities. "Do you remember an order authorizing the crudest measures because human life cost absolute ly nothing in the. eastern terri tories?" Rudenko asked. "Yes," Keitel replied. "You signed this order?" Again Keitel said, "Yes." Rudenko asked,- "You considered consider-ed it correct and apt?" "Yes," Keitel replied. "It was a well known fact -that lives were not respected in eastern and Sov let territories. The Soviet prosecutor quoted another order which stated that "iroops nave the right and arc oougatea to lake any measures! without restriction against women wo-men and children." "That is correct," Keitel said. "You consider this order right?" "Yes. But of course no German soldier and no German officer ever though of killing women and children." To that Kudenko said. "There were such cases. Millions of them." Keitel replied, "I do not believe be-lieve that." A report By Admiral Wilhelm Canaris. the late German intelligence intelli-gence chieftain, protesting against the mass killings of Russian prisoners pris-oners was mentioned by Rudenko. He asked Keitel if he agreed with the Canaris report. Keitel answered, "I shared his views." Rudenko then submitted to the war crimes tribunal the original of the Canaris report, on which Keitel had written a marginal note. This note to Canaris said. "These suggestions are according to your soldier's view of the conception con-ception of conducting a war' as a knight, but do not fit in with the idea of this new war. Therefore approve such measures and I I stand behind them." Keitel admitted wrtiten it. that he had Aussie Brides To Arrive On Sunday SAN FRANCISCO, April 6 U.R The third wave of "invasion romance" will land here tomorrow tomor-row morning when the liner Lur line docjes with 853 Australian and New Zealand brides and children r of American servicemen, the army port of embarkation announced today.
