‘fe seen to contimie with the visunderstancings concerning the events
of a year ago as reported ty the newspapers in both ovr countries,
S rticularly in the case of Aikichi Fuloyarae J have been reluctant
to make costients since I know that this case has becn under careful
TR
-d prolonzed studye On one occasion, in ansyver to a direct question,
stated that it was our understancing from the studies in Javan
conducted by you aad others that the henatitis fron which he died
was a cosplication of his illness and that prior to this development
he had been reco-ering apparantly quite well from his raciation
injerye On that occasion I added that we would have to avait the
conclusion of.the studies by the Japanese patholozists before it
would be possitle to kmow precisely the nature of the caste
It would be very helpful to me and would serve to correct some of
the nisanpprehensions wiich now scem to be widespread in this country
if there could be an carly p:blication of the clinical and psatho=
lovical findings in this case after the studies are completed. i's
on our part are planning to present the complete report on the
inju. ies of the Uarshall Islanders at the forthconing meeting of
the Ancrican Fedical Associatione By our combined efferts we should
probably have placed in the redical literature within the next few
months all of the essential medical irforsation arising out of the
most unfortunate accident of March 1, 195he
