While asserting they would not | wish permanently to prevent traf- fic in the bird pets, public health service officials today said it was | way clear to lifting the ban this vear. ! Too vivid was the memory of | the psittacosis epidemic which last | vear followed the November arrival | of pretty poll parrots for the great | American Christmas ttree. The epidemic totaled 169 cases, with 33 deaths, a mortality rate of 19 per cent. These case, occurring in 15 states and the District of | Columbia, did not include 16 lab- oratory infections with two deaths resulting from studies of how to combat the disease. Quite by accident, and to their own great grief, the research ex- | perts of the service proved psitta- | cosis possessed a degree of infectiv- ity approaching that of measles or smallpox. Public health officials now are 2| working on methods aimed toward rendering the parrot traffic harm- less so that these colorful and talk- |ative birds from the tropic again | may enter American p(‘t shops.
