UP) — Officials at the southwest screwworm erad ication laboratory said Thursday they have found the first docu mented cases of screwworms in a human in the United States. A laboratory spokesman said a 41-year-old Mission woman was admitted to a San Antonio hos pital several days ago for treat ment. The woman was in a coma-like state when admitted, a laboratory spokesman said. A physician who was treating the woman discovered that she was suffering from “high infesta tion of larvae in the nose, mouth and throat.” The physician sent samples of the larvae to the Mission labora tory where they were confirmed Thursday as true screwworms. Officials from the Mission lab oratory rushed to San Antonio immediately to confer with the hospital staff and to suggest treatment. Laboratory officials said that the screwworm fly feeds on all warm-blooded animals. It was the first documented case in the United States since the massive eradication program got underway eight years ago. Officials cautioned that other persons may become infected by the screwworm fly in any area where a patient becomes ill and is in a home where the flies can not be closed out. Laboratory officials did not identify the woman and did not immediately disclose the name of the hospital where she is being treated. Officials at the Mission labora tory said 8,33 cases had been confirmed in animals in Texas so far this year, but that the confirmed case count had been dropping for the past few weeks. Screwworm fly cases have been confirmed in recent years in Mex ico and South America arid other countries where climatic and en vironmental conditions are ideal. # What the interviewer won’t tell you about General Electric. He won’t tell you about all the job opportunities we have for college graduates. Not that he wouldn’t like to. It’s just that there are too many jobs and too little time. In a half-hour interview our man couldn’t begin to outline the scope and diversity of the opportuni ties we offer. Opportunities for engineering, sci ence, business and liberal arts majors. That’s why we published a brochure called “Career Opportunities at General Electric.” It tells you about our markets, our products, our business philosophy and our benefit programs. And, in plain language, it tells you exactly how and where a person with your qualifications can start a career with General Electric. It even gives you the first step in starting a career with us — a Personal Information Form for you to fill out. If you like what the brochure tells you about us, why not tell us about you? Our interviewer will be on campus soon. GENERAL ELECTRIC An equal opportunity employer U.S. To Install Camera 7^ WASHINGTON <A»)_The gov ernment is ordering every feder ally insured bank and savings and loan association to install cameras and alarm systems to cut down the biggest wave of bank stickups since Bonnie and Clyde days. There will be specific deadlines in 1970 and 1971. for installing the various gadgets, hardware and procedures spelled out Thurs day by four agencies that regulate federally insured banks and sav ings and loan associations. THE ORDER is in line with authority granted by Congress in light of FBI figures that bank robberies rose 45 per cent last year from 1966 levels and were up 278 per cent from 1960. The FBI has been calling on the banks for years to button up a bit more and make things harder for the crooks. Congress responded this year by passing the Bank Protection Act, which makes bank security mandatory rather than voluntary. “Many, many banks are close to meeting these standards al ready,” a spokesman for the Fed eral Deposit Insurance Corpor ation said. “The number of banks with camera systems for instance, has been shooting up in the last couple of years.” tentative basis to give interests! parties time to comment.

Many of them do not know they are receiving the course. It is not found in the College of Veterinary Medicine’s curri culum. It’s a lesson in dedication— given by faculty members! This month’s lesson will be offered Thursday, Nov. 7. It is a clinico-pathology conference. Faculty members from all de partments “fix themselves a sack lunch and eat and talk over in teresting cases,” noted Dr. K. R. Pierce who has charge of this month’s meeting. The monthly sack luncheon conference usually finds faculty members from all departments participating, Pierce added. “It’s the only period of time when we can all get together,” admitted Dean A. A. Price. Grad uate students often attend ses sions, and ocassionally undergrad uate students. While veterinarians eat cold sandwiches this week, four fa culty members will discuss “Johne disease in cattle.” The doctors are R. G. Ferguson, L. M. My ers, E. E. Keahey and W. L. Sippel. They readily, admit it’s “no place for anyone with a weak stomach.” When you come on ina Van Heusen shirt... the rest come off like a bunch of stiffs.
