Federal Aid Sought in New Orleans Yellow Fever Crisis
President Roosevelt ordered Surgeon General Wyman to assume full control of the yellow fever campaign in New Orleans. A relief request from Gay Blanchard of Louisiana led to calls for federal action as New Orleans reports 43 new cases and 5 deaths in a day, total cases 475 and deaths 9. Officials warn of economic paralysis and plan a city wide shutdown to aid cleanup while refugees flee to St Tammany parish.
