Notes Improvements In
Indians’ Health Status
WASHINGTON — The Pub
lic Health Service reported Sat
urday the American Indian’s pre
sent health status approximates
the general U.S. population 20
years ago.
The service also claimed some
improvements since it took over
responsibility for the Indian
health program on July 1, 1955.
Since 1954, the service said,
tuberculosis death rates are down
60 per cent among Indians and
83 per cent among Alaska natives,
while infant mortality among In
dians has declined by 28 per cent.
Birth rates are steadily rising,
the Indian birth rate now being
almost twice as high as the all
birth rate, the service said.
The Indian average age at
death, it was added, has increased
three years since 1955, partly be
cause of reduced infant death
rates, more people living longer,
and reduced death rates.
The latest year for which sta
tistics were available was 1960.
The average age at death that year
for Indians, excluding Alaska, was
41 years. For Alaska natives, it
was 30 years. For all races in the
United States in 1959, it was 62.3
years.

Soviet Union classified the planes
as nuclear weapons, which are
barred from storage in Japan un
der the U.S.-Japanese mutual de
fense treaty.
