Two suspected chickenpox cases triggered a smallpox scare as State Police and Health and Welfare traced an Air Force family from Limestone to Virginia. The error led to a corrected report and the family was located in Hagerstown, Maryland, with officials stating the illness was only chickenpox. Dr. Dean H. Fisher questioned mixed reports after learning Air Force medical officers at Loring knew nothing of the incident. Air Force investigators probe the report’s origin while confirming the diagnosis.
