I United Press International ATLANTA — Some of the world’s p medical scientists meet here Jay to share their knowledge aout Legionnaires’ disease, an ail- ert caused by an organism re sellers say is different from all t reiiously known agents of human r, ss.

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 expected the symposium to shed 'ed bytk >y father ’ ire sirloin .une birds. >rn bread )le, salad ing, and m.” to hops, ther simi lising and t quite 1 iccasiona! eeds combat soldiers Army may raise 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.

Soldiers recruited under the plan would be required to remain in a reserve “pool” up to four years after discharge. They would not have 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. Officials said the i * of the Army, blacks in recent years.

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. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★•A- * HATE DOING * « LAUNDRY?
