I New York—tJPl—When you get
polio, infantile paralysis, your fate
"passes opt of your^hands.
AH you can do is to turn your
self over tQ. specialists, doctors and
nurses, and there are not many of
I these specialists in the entire Unit
ed StatesJ j
.That’s Where the[ dimes you and
others gave last" winter come to
your aid. They produced more
thari $20,000,000 now ready to do
| the incredible medical! job ;df
| making this scarce aid "ready

Your community* has a} local
: chapter of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, one of 2,-
-H 800 in the United States.
Call thp community or nearest
national foundation office. They
, have , plans ready/For those! un-
I able to pay the full expenses, the
foundation expects to pay the bal
ance. And this fs a lot of money,
about $1,000 being an average ex
pense fqfr a single Case. Some run
j. far higher. .1 i ’
;V : . Help Depends On Need
Local chapters of the foundation
keep half of the March of Dimes
I funds collected, and most of this
f goes to pay patients’ bills, the
policy of the foundation is 'to pay
all or part of the expense, depend
ing 1 upon each family’s need for
help. When local funds are ex
hausted, the national headquarters
advances “money to help meet the
Costi. Last year the foundation nnd
“its chapters spent. $17,000,000 for
patieht care, including $0,700,000

Bulbar polio, the kind that comes
from damage to the “bulb” at the

some of its death-dealing power.
Bulbar kills in several ways. It
may paralyze swallowing muscles,
or breathing muscles or interfere
with heart action. In' the swallow

death. Opening the windpipe saves
most of hese, and fhat |was dis

Pain Relievers ,
The doctors say give the' suf
ferer myanesin of priscol to relieve
pain, j but not because they think
there; ?s any curative effect. They
use chrare tb .loosen muscles that
insist; on tying themselves into
knots. They have tried new rerpe-
dies like darivsul and gureomycin.
There are swimming pools, rocking
beds and other devices for mild
exercise.
There are more than a score of
medicines being used on animals,
with hopeful effects, and two vftc-
cinesi again for animals. Whether
any of these will work for human
beings is unknown.
The best and only remedies go
under the broad name of physio-
therhpiy, which means long, pati

in teaching stricken muscles to
piake a comeback.
Polio Might Be
Licked by 1952
i k j fll 1 * *'l" ^
Dallas, Aug. 8 —(^P)—In
fantile paralysis may b e
whiped in 1952, an official
of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis said
here Thursday. ! -I
“Far the first time, medical
science has set a date by which it
hopes to conquer poliomyletis,”
said Joe M. Savage of New York
City, executive director of the
foundation. ‘
The official has been in Texas
for the past eight days to study
the heavier-hjt epidemic areas. ,
Hope that a vaccine to immunize
against polio infection will be de
veloped by 1962, Savage said, if
based on experiments at four cent
ers financed by the foundation.
“So far research has discovered
that monkeys can be vaccinated
against massive dose* of one strain
of live polio virus,the official
related. “Scientists are now work
ing feverishly to disenvor the num
ber and type of polio viruses.”
j When all of the, polio viruses are
isolated there is strong reason to
believe that a composite vaccine,
such as i that now ufeed for pneu
monia, may be developed, Savage
said. To date doctors do not know
how many strains of polio virus
there are.

Five hundred and three graduate

applied for A&M degrees to be
conferred August 27.
According to Johnnie P. Zinn
of the registrar’s office, the actual
number of students who will re

number, depending upon the num|-

No graduation ceremonies are
held other than at the end of the
spring semester. The graduates
Will receive their diplomas by mail

BiiaiihAn was asked to discuss
the new measure with- Senators
behind closed doors Saturday.
the new compromise involves a
complex revision of the formula
for parity, which is a computed
price intended to give a farm prod
uct! the same relative purchasing
power itj had in a past period fav
orable tb agriculture. The major
feature of the change would be ad-‘
dition of “hired farm labor” costs
ps d factor,] with a resulting in
crease under present conditions of
about 6 per cent in parity levels.
The Anderson bill would provide
supports from 75 to 90 per cent of
parity for cptton, wheat, corn, rice,
tobacco and, peanuts when farmers
approved crop controls. These are
classed as j basic crops, For the
next year supports would stay at
the 90 [per [cerit level" for most
crow. •'.[ i j j.
It would also provide a similar
flexible support level for non-basic
crops that could be stored, such as
meats, butter, bats and rye; and
allow loans, supports, oh produc
tion payments for fresh fruits,
fresh vegetables and other non-
basic perishable crops such as
vegetables and tree crops.

Houston to Get
Sky-Way Roads
. r ,' l
Houston—(/P)—A spectac
ular “Skyway” for motor ve-
hicleH, carrying speeding traf
fic across the city on double-
decker four-lane roadways
reaching up to six stories in
height, is in the planning
stage for Houston.
The project, according to (engine
ers of the State Highway Depart
ment, will cost about $30,000,000
and will extend from 1 a junction
with the Houston-Port Arthur
highway on the east, to Eureka,
just west of the present city lim
its.
The proposed elevation highway
system, which has yet to be ap
proved by city officials and the
state highway commission, contem
plates an intricate set of approach
es and exits to tie ih with other
urban expressways.
The engineers explained that
their plan—one of five or six ideas
for improvement of arterial high
way problems here-r-is considered
more feasible than surface road
ways or tunnels because of the
prohibitive costs of both.
According to tentative plans for
the structure, which would provide
some five miles of double-decker
highways, height of the upper deck
would range from'. 40 feet above
surface. level to approximately six
stories. A lower roadway would be
15 feet under the upper roadway.
The engineers, pointed out. that
there is nothing certain that the
plan will ever become an actuality,
since many aspects of securing
right of way and financing the
structures have not yet been dis-,
cussed.
But they admit that the “Sky
way,” if it is translated into steel
concrete, will be the most
