GALVESTON (AP)-The recov-
ery of Robert Carter, 17, bitten
by a deadly A*ian cobra, it cred-
ited Galveston doctor to a
"cold bath" treatment never be-
fore used for a cobra bite.
The treatment was directed by
Or. Fred Mullins, head of the
Dermatology Department at John
Sealy Hospital. He said he be-
lieved it was the first time the
cold bath has been used for a co-
bra bite.
Carter was takhn to the hospital
five minutes after being bitten cfl
a finger of the left hand while
exhibiting the snake at a show
here. He is from La Marque, Tex.
Doctors began the cold bath
treatment after the usual first aid
was administered. Eight and a
half hours later cobra anti-venin
serum arrived from the McClung
Farm, La Place, La.
Since a cobra bite is often fatal
within two or three hours unless
anti-venin is administered, Mul-
lins said the cold bath treatment
helped save Carter.
Mullins said that in the treat-
ment Carter’s hand was immersed
In ice water which prevented the
spread of the poison from the bite
area.
Anti-venin is always used in con-
junction with the bath.
The extremity is kept in the cold
water from 18 to 24 hours, the doc-
tor said, and then removed to see
If it can be kept out' of the water.
Pain from the bite is deadened

by the ice water and the limb
becomes numb while immersed.
Under conventional methods of
treatment, Mullins said, the bit-
ten part is often amputated.
Late Monday the temperature of
the bath water was allowed to rise
slowly, a process that was to con-
tinue for 10 hours.
Mullins believes Carter will show
no ill effects from the bite when
his hand is removed from the wa-
ter today.
Another snakebite victim, Earl
Tanner, 18, was taken off the crit-
ical list Monday at another Gal-
veston hospital after undergoing
the same treatment for a bite
from a copperhead received at the
McClung farm.
Mullins said the bath treatment
was devised by Dr. Herbert L.
Stahnke, professor of zoology at
Arizona State University and has
been used three times on persons
bitten by rattlers.
Mullins said Stahnke told him
Monday that he feels the treat-
ment should be used on all snake-
bite victims.

raids on union and (student head-
quarters in search of leaders of
Friday’s Communist-sparked mob
attack against White House press
secretary James C. Hagerty’s car.
In a series of pre-dawn raids,
police rounded up five officials of
a leftist labor union and seized
evidence after searching a factory
in Kawasaki, south of the capital,
and headquarters of the Zengaku-
ren student federation on two
Tokyo campuses
Zengakuren students tried to
repel the police with rocks and
staves. Eleven policemen were re-
ported injured, but no students
were arrested.
Major non-Communist leftist or-
ganizations were reported consid-
ering abandoning plans for a
large-scale demonstration at the
airport, although it appeared like-
ly they w'culd demonstrate else-
where during the President's visit
against the U.S.-Japan security
treaty and Prime Minister Nobu-
suke Kishi’s government.
There were reports of a possi-
ble truce between Kishi's be-
leaguered government and its So-
cialist opposition to take the heat
off Eisenhower's visit.
Kisi’s Liberal Democratic
party was reported considering re-
cessing Parliament for three to
five days. If it remains in ses-
sion, the security treaty is auto-
matically ratified on Sunday, the
day Eisenhower arrives. The So-
cialists want Parliament dissolved
automatically nullifying ratifica-
tion of the treaty, so an election
campaign can be fought with the
treaty as the main issue.
A top security official said, "If
the Socialists decide not to dem-
onstrate against the president's
arrival, the police will have ho
great problem in guarding him.
He said they then would have In
contend only with "a maximum
of 7,000 Communists and pro-Co m-
munists including 3,000 students."
The pro-Communist wing of Zen-
gakuren, which played a key role
in mobbing of Hagerty’s car,
avowed its intention to demon-
strate when Eisenhower arrives.
But Socialist party leader Inejiro
Asanuma urged "every precaution
so that the June 10 Ilagerty in-
cident w'ill not be repeated."
Left - wing unions claimed that
more than five million workers
will stop work for from one hour
to all day Wednesday in another
nationwide demand for Kishi to
dissolve Parliament and put the
U.S.-Japan pact to an election
test. Students and union members
also planned new mass marches
cxi Parliament and the U.S. Em-
bassy.
Tomisaburo Hashimoto, head of
the National Welcome Committee
for Eisenhower predicted 1 mil-
lion Japanese would turn out to
cheer the president’s arrival.
Hashimoto told the Cabinet the
throng will include 35.000 citizens
who will work actively with po-
lice to keep order and 30,000 stu-
dents of Nihcxi University, which
is awarding Eisenhower an honor-
ary degree.
The Communist bloc kept up its
propaganda campaign against the
President's tour.
The Soviet Communist party pa-
per Pravda said the President had
gotten himself into a "moat stu-
pid situation” by his plan to visit
Japan.
"Before the eyes o< (he whole
world,” Pravda said, "he will be
compelled to force his way
through the door of a house which
has been closed by its owner, the
Japanese people.”
