SEATTLE, March 24—(AP)— An 18-year-old college honor stu dent died yesterday of an injection of bacterially-contaminated blood, given during an experiment con nected with war research by the University of Washington. The young victim, James Stan ley Leedom, a freshman at Seattle University, was one of 40 volun teers participating in the project seeking better ways to preserve whole blood. He died three days after the in jection, despite every effort fto save his life. Dr. Robert H. Williams, head of the University of Washington De partment of Medicine, said the blood became contaminated “by some phenomenon” after it had been refrigerated. | “The only way we can explain it,” said Williams, “is that the bacteria was able to grow in some manner while the blood was at freezing temperature and not at body temperature.” Both Williams and Dr. Clement A. Finch, associate professor of medicine in charge of hematology at the university, said they would “sladly participate in the same ezveriment tomorrow.” | They said the bacteria had not vet beem identified, but they be lieved it to be a saprophyte (any organizm living on dead or decay ing organic matter), which does not grow at body temperature but thrives when chilled. It produces shock and high fever. | Nation-Wide Effort The project in which Leedom | took part was started by the Uni- | versity nine months ago as part‘ of a nation-wide effort to find preservatives which would keep whole blood longer than the 21 days considered safe with the pre sent use of acid citrate glucose. Several other laboratories in the country - are conducting research along the same line. | Leedom, a Seattle boy, received his first injection Thursday. A reaction set in. The first step was to find if the two bloods matched. They did. Several hours later, doctors dis covered the presence of bacterial contamination in the blood. Wil liams said the bleod had been test ed and found pure previously, then was refrigerated. ; Both university doctors said bacteria has been found on very rare occasions in refrigerated‘ blood, but was so uncommon the risk was almost negligible, Unusual Care “This just happened to be one of those most unusual cases,” they said. “Normally, after blood has been ‘cultured’ and found pure we do not test it again after re frigeration. The risk of inserting a needle in the container to take a sample is far greater than that of any bacterial growth.” School Planners More than 200 Georgia school superintendents and architects flocked into Athens this morning for the opening session of a Con ference of Cchool Plant Planning at the University of Georgia. The Conference will answer at least some of their questions on what goes into an ideal school building and how that building can be financed. The Conference delegates got down to business in the very first session this morning, seeking ad vice from the experts on the fi nances and legal requirements of school construction under the State Building Authority. Making up the panel who an swered the school men’s questions were Claude Purcell, director of the Division of School Adminis tration, State University System Building Authority; and James S. Peters, vice chairman, State Board of Education. : In addition to a discussion of the finances and legal require ments for new school construction, the experts also answered ques tions on the legal specifications for the repair of existing school buildings. Later sessions this morning fea tured an address by Herbert C. Millkey, president of the Georgia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects on the ‘Duties and Responsibilities of the Architect in the School Building Program.” Just before noon, N. L. Carney, of the United States Office of Edu cation, spoke to the eonference on (Continued On Page Two) "\LITTLE LIZ > —Q' . . ﬁ\;ga ‘:" ' .

VACCARO KEY WEST, March 24—(AP)— President Truman and Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson waded into the steel controversy today with Wilson declaring a steel strike “would have frightful re sults on the mobilization program and the economy as a whole.” Wilson flew down here from Washington last night with a re commendation by the Wage Sta bilization Board that the CIO United Steel Workers be allowed a three-installment wage increase that will amount to 17% cents an hour by Jan. 1, and other bene fits. Coupled with this was the esti~ mate by steel manufacturers that they will have to raise their prices by possibly sl2 a ton to pay for the wage board’s proposals. The union has accepted the WSB recommendations and has threatened an industry - wide strike of its 650,000 steelworkers on April 8 unless the companies agree. The companies have an nounced they will negotiate sep arately with the union on the rec ommendations. Talks are sche duled to start this week. Wilson was driven directly to the President's big white frame cottage at the Naval submarine station when he landed. They ar ranged to continue their talks to day. May Refuse Controls In Washington, Sen. Maybank (D.-S.C.) said Congress may re fuse to extend economic controls if the administration lifts the bars on inflation by allowing wage and price increases in the steél indus try. Maybank, chairman of both the Senate Banking Committee and the Senate-House «Defense Pro duetion Committee, {old a report er he would invite Wilson to Cap itol Hill as soon as he returned from Key West to explain the steel “situation. : Wilson told reporters he had a series of matters to lay before the President, in addition to the steel situation. “1 don’t know yet how it can be settled,” Wilson said at one point. “] am neither pessimistic nor op timistic. This is still in the explor= atory stage. oil G T “I came down to see the Presi ‘dent on a whole series of matters. Steel is only one of them. On steel 1 have a series of plans, a num ber of alternatives to discuss. All I can say is that I hope there will be no strike—it would have a frightful result on the mobiliza tion program and the economy as a whole.” Nothing Decided Wilson'’s aides in Washington emphasized that nothing has’yet been decided on steel price relief. Wilson would not discuss what “glternative” proposals he brought, “There seems to be an impres i sion you have a clear-cut formula for setting this dispute,” one re } porter remarked. “That’s complimentary that they believe I can dig up one in 24 hours,” he remarked grimly. The other matters he said he is ’here to discuss are “mobilization ' and stabilization” problems. Letter Carriers Elect Officers C. R.

New General Election Is Asked For May 18 By Prime Minister CAIRO, March 24, — (AP) — King Farouk dissolved parliament’s Wafdist-dominated lower house today and called a new general election May 18. The royal action was requested by the cabinet of independent Prime Minister Naguib Hilaly Pasha. Farouk’s decree also ordered the new Chamber of Deputies to meet on May 31. The dissolution did not affect the Senate, which also is domi nated by the anti-British WAFD faction. There was speculation, however, that the government might soon request Farouk to make changes in the Senate mem bership to remove this WAFD ma jority. Only three-fifths of the senators are elected. The rest are appointed by the king. Interior Minister Ahmed Mor tada El Marraghy Bey told news men no grovlsion had been made yet for the lifting of Martial law, which was clamped “on Egyri on Jan. 26 after the disastrous fire riots in Cairo. : Mr, Evans’ portrayal of the He added, however, that the government would take “all nec essary measures to insure a free election.” Propaganda minister Farid Zal ouk said last night that martial law would be lifted for the election period. The dissolution came two days after talks began between Hilaly and British Amabassador Sir Ral ph Stevenson, seeking a settlement of Egypt’s demands that British troops quit the Suez Canal Zone and that Britain surrender the Sudan to Egypt. A British embassy spokesman said the elections would not af fect the negotiations, which he said were still in the “exploratory stage.” Another authoritative British source said Britian *cer tainly hopes that the negotiations will be concluded before election day.” ; Fafal Shooting Termed Suicide A coroner’'s jury called by Coroner S. C, Cartledge, after three sessions today returned a verdict of suicide in the death early yesterday morning of Mrs, Pearl Culbertson, 28, at her home on Indiana Avenue. The jury found that Mrs. Cul bertson shot herself with a .32 calibre revolver at 2 a. m. Sun~ day, a short time after she had returned home from a dance at the VFW Club. She had been es corted home from the dance by B. F. Wigley, who was held in connection with the shooting un=- til the Coroner had completed his investigation and was released this morning without charge. County Policeman Jimmy Will iams said B. F. Wigley escorted Mrs. Culbertson home and was re turning to his car when he heard a shot. He ran back to the house and found Mrs., Culbertson had been shot and notified police and called a Bernstein ambulance, Mrs. Culbertson died in the am bulance enroute to a hospital. She was shot once in the chest, the bullet entering the heart. The investigating officers were Sheriff Tommy Huff and County Policemen Williams and George Farmer, I Services Tuesday Services for Mrs. .

Find Agreement By SAM SUMMERLIN MUNSAN, Korea, March 24— (AP)—Allied and Communist truce negotiators huddled for three hours today ‘discussing pos= sible secret talks on how to ex change prisoners of war, A U. N. spokesman said “we almost came to agreement.” “We decided to talk about it for only 20 minutes tomorrow,” said Col. George W. Hickman. He reported most of Monday’s’ session was spent debating “limi tations that might be placed on each side during an executive ses ion.” The U. N. proposed secret negotiationg Sunday in a move to speed agreement on a Korean arm istice, As a preliminary step the Allies ordered an immediate par tial news blackout on the prisoner talks. An official Allied spokesman said U. N. negotiators felt pre liminary discussions concerning off-the-record sessions should “be considered for the time being at least in a quasi-confidential status.” He declined to tell newsmen what the U. N. proposed. Thorny Issue Both sides have indicated unof ficially that off-the-record negoti= ations might lead to a compromise agreement on the thorny issue of whether prisoners should be given the right to reject repatriation. This is the only issue blocking agreement on prisoner exchange. The U. N. command said last week negotiators would be able to speak freely in an executive session since their remarks would not be aired in the press. Off ~-the-~ record negotiations would mean virtual news blackout on the prisoner talks. Only the final agreement—or lack of one ~—would be announced. Actually, however, newsmen never have been allowed to at tend and only portions ot the re cord have been opened to corres pondents. ' A News of the negotiations has come from official spokesmen, the delegates themselves and from the official U. N. command communi que. Several times the first word of a major development has come from Communist correspondents at Pan~ munjom, Last week the Red news men hinted that a truce might be signed by mid-April. Another group of staff officers working on truce supervision may put the final stamp of approval on detailed maps of 10 ports of en}(;y Tuesday, a U. N.
