from more than 30 countries will at

It is being sponsored by the
CDC, the National Institute of Al
lergy and Infectious Diseases and
the World Health Organization.
Two representatives from the Soviet
Union were expected to attend.
Dr. William Foege, CDC direc
tor who will address the opening
session, has described the Le
gionnaires’ disease bacterium as un
like any bacterium medical science
has ever encountered. Its behavior
in the laboratory and in experimen
tal animals is different, he said, as is
its genetic structure.
The bacterium that causes the
pneumonia-like illness, which has a
fatality rate of about 15 percent, was
discovered by a CDC microbiologist
in 1976, six months after an
epidemic of the illness at an Ameri
can Legion convention in Philadel
phia struck more than 200 people
and killed 29.
Since then, medical scientists
have found that the organism lives
in water and is capable of being
spread through air conditioning sys
tems. They also have discovered
that an antibiotic, erythromycin, is
effective in treating the ailment if
administered in time.
Dr. David Fraser, head of the
CDC’s special pathogenic unit that
has been conducting a two-year in
vestigation of the disease, said he

United Pres* Internutional
WASHINGTON — The Army is pushing a new plan, aimed at
roung men who want to go on to college, that would resduce some
enlistments from three to two years as a way to attract higher-quality
ecruits.
Army officials said the plan, to be submitted to Defense Secretary
larold Brown and the White House Office of Management and
Budget, could help attract up to 12,000 two-year recruits into infan
try, artillery and tank units next year.
The plan would offer recruits an additional $2,000 in educational
benefits, raising the total to $7,400 for two years of service. Women
would not be eligible because they are barred from the combat jobs
e Army wants to fill.
Although the Pentagon officially maintains the volunteer system is
jjuceess, officials privately concede the Army has encountered prob
lems recruiting combat soldiers.

Soldiers recruited under the plan would be required to remain in a

to attend reserve meetings.
Under the all-volunteer system, recruits now joining the Army
have to serve a minimum of three years on active duty.

“I’d be very surprised if things
don’t come out that are not already
known,” he said. “But even if I’m
not surprised, I expect to be edu
cated about the disease.
“It is still a disease that I don’t
believe we know. It causes
thousands of cases of pneumonia a
year in the United States and hun
dreds of deaths. I think that’s a sig
nificant health problem.
“We need to know where the bug
lives, how it spreads, and how to
interrupt that spread.”
Fraser said evidence appears to
show that Legionnaires’ disease is a
seasonal sickness, striking primarily
in the summer months.
