Police rounded up about 20 dairy operators; cheese sales- men, store owners and other persons Monday as _ parents from the city's poorest dis- tricts continued to stream to hospitals with' their blanket- wrapped, retching children. Authorities were checking milk supplies as a_ possible source. Police said no charges had been filed against the 20 per- sons, but that they were being held for investigation. Deputy District Attorney Hec- tor Valdivia said 10 children have been confirmed as. dead in the outbreak, but Tijuana police said as many as 20 could die eventually. The dead ranged in age from three months to 10 years. Scores of children crammed the wards of the city's hos- pitals, some two to a bed. One hospital reported three dead and more than 60 ill. Doctors worked feverishly to save the ailing children, but said several of them would not survive. PUMP STOMACHS Physicians used universal an- tidotes and anti-histamines to treat the poisoning, after pump- ing out the stomach of each child. They said milk was found in the stomach of every child treated. Dr. Jorge Salas Cepeda said six adults were suffering from the same symptoms as the chil- dren. He said the victims suffer Pedro Luna Sanchez said his 10-year-old son developed the Symptoms within a half hour after he had a breakfast of bread and milk, Luna Sanchez, father of 11, said: "It seemed strange. Three other children who had milk from the same bottle did not be- come sick." Sanchez said most of the vic- tims seemed to come from a neighborhood known as Calonia Libertad, a hilly residential dis- trict that provides a home for many of Tijuana's poor. Dr. James B. Askew, health director of San Diego, Calif., county said several milk sam- ples have been sent to San Diego for analysis. He said it would be 48 hours before the results were. known. San Diego is 15 miles from Tijuana. The bodies of eight of the vic- tims were sent to San Diego for post - mortem analysis. CHEMICALLY INDUCED Dr, Askew said he believes the poisoning was caused by a chemical poison, rather than a naturally occurring one such as bacteria. "It's my understanding that the milk was delivered and con- sumed since Sunday," Dr. As- kew said. "Any poisoning this soon would be too fast to ne due to an infection. "Tt could be any protoplas- mic poison, from arsenic, to an insecticide to cyanide." The first case of poisoning was reported early Monday at the Red Cross hospital. The number of cases increased rapidly until all three of Ti- juana's hospitals and several from vomiting, diarrhea and general weekness. clinics were swamped with sick children and worried parents. Conciliator, Union Meet In Private Transit Talks MONTREAL (CP) -- Yvan Dansereau, a Quebec govern- ment conciliator, will meet pri- vately today with representa- tives of Montreal's 6,000 strik- ing bus and subway workers. Mr. Dansereau has scheduled a meeting with the leaders of the five unions involved in the strike against the Montreal Transportation Commission, which normally provides bus and subway service to about 1,300,000 passengers a day in the metropolitan area. The strike virtually paralysed all public transportation when the employees walked off their jobs last Thursday. A spokesman for the Confed- eration of National Trade Unions representing the MTC the commission and union lead- ers are still stalemated on the question of wages. The sp said sion and union representatives discussed job distribution clauses Monday but the clauses settled so far did not deal with monetary issues. The striking employees voted Sunday night to endorse theit leaders' rejection of a commis- sion offer. The offer would have raised the hourly wage of bus drivers and subway train operators to $3.02 from $2.77. The employees are seeking a wage increase to $3.50 for the drivers, plus fringe benefits. ec PRESIDEN A Philippines Air Force helicopter, on orders from President Ferdinand. E.
