HAGUE Associated Press Staff Writer Baltimore An intensified campaign against rheumatic fever, one of the dread diseases of childhood, will begin at Johns Hopkins Hospital this sumemr. Dr.

Helen B. Taussig, nationally known for her role in the "blue" baby operations, has been conducting clinical research in rheumatic fver for years at the Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children, Hopkins Pediatrics Division. In July, laboratory research into the causes and prevention of rheumatic fever, already under way at the Rockefeller Foundation in New York City, will become one of the major projects at Harriet Lane. Leading Authority Dr. Francis Schwenlker, who becomes head of the pediatrics staff July 1, said he and Dr.

Lewis Thomas have been working in such research at the foundation. Dr. Schwentker is one of the leading authorities in infectious diseases. Dr. Thomas will join Dr.

Schwentker on the Hopkins staff July 1. The results of rheumatic fever often fatal damage to the heart are known. The causes and effective preventive measures are not known. It has been known for some time that rheumatic fever often follows hemolytic streptococcal infections and that the disease is more prevalent in the northern climates where the streptococcal danger also is greater. However, not all such attacks follow such infections.

Has 'Strep' Link Dr. Schwentker and Dr. Thomas want to know why rheumatic fever apparently has some link to the "strep" infection. At present their work is confined to the laboratory, but Dr. Schwenlker hopes soon to combine the clinical findings of Dr.

Taussig with the knowledge gained in the lab. He said the hope and he emphasized that it was only a hope was that the present avenue of research would lead to a method of preventing rheumatic fever. In San Quentin, it was announced recently that 25 San Quentin prisoners would receive inoculations of dead hemolytic streptococci in the hope that their bodies would produce an effective serum against rheumatic fever and other diseases. All the convicts are volunteers. preted as paving the way for congressional delay on training legislation.

Training, Draft at Odds Senator Bridges N. a member of the Military Committee, told a reporter he doesn't see how any training system could be set up as long as the draft continues. "You can't draft everybody who is 18 and have anybody left to train," he remarked. Mr. Bridges indicated also that there may be organized opposition to any speedy action by the committee on proposed legislation to unify the armed forces.

The committee will take up the question tomorrow. At the same time the House Military Affairs Committee will attempt to reach a showdown on a proposal to continue draft registrations for a year but prevent the Induction of any men under its terms.

posal to put army, navy and air under one cabinet chief, a unification plan that Mr. Truman promised "does not mean subordination of any branch of the service." The President's promise encouraged some who have been doubtful about the merger, including Senator Russell Ga. a naval committee member who said he will vote for it only if army, navy and air maintain their identities. There Is a wide division of opinio among legislators over this proposal, as evidenced by comments on the President's speech. Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the Senate's Republican whip, said he is against both unification and compulsory military training.

He said he might go along with extension of the draft, "if we cannot get enough volunteers." LaFollette Against Draft Chairman Elbert Thomas Utah) of the Military Affairs Committee, who is opposed to extension of the draft and the compulsory training program, said he thought the unification measure which he helped draw "can become law in this session if the American people are for it." But Senator LaFollette Wis.) said he thought the President "makes a mistake in continuing to hinge the problem of our military security in the future on permanent peacetime conscription." He suggested, as did Senators Elmer Thomas Okla.) and Wherry, that the accent be put on making the armed forces attractive to volunteers by pay raises and other inducements. Senator Edwin C. Johnson a strong supporter of unification, challenged the President's statement that "universal training is not conscription."
