Effects Of Polio Reported In New am t m research rinding By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE AP Science Reporter NW . Jh.v Vi ltrm.'ii une per son in a family gets polio, nearly everyone else in that family has the same virus inlcction with no sickness, a new study indicates. And that is a good thing for them. It means they get immunity apparently permanently against thai type of polio virus. Thou rntiM still ha .ii.nn'nlihla to another of the three known ' types which can cause paralytic polio in humans. This miding was described to a polio conference, spon sored by the New York Academy of Science, by Scientists of Tu la ne University, New Orleans. They are Doctors John P. Fox Henry M. Gelfand, Pravin N. Bhatt Dorothy LeBlanc and Danald P. Conwell. They made blood and other tesls of families in which one member came down with diagnosed polio. Of these who do get diagnosed polio, half recover completely, an. other 30 per cent are left with only minor handicaps. All Become im mune to the type of virus which attached them. Polio even invades babies with out causing any obvious illness, they also found. rew babies got the virus before age 9 month!. The apparent rea son is that newborn infants inherit antibodies which their mothers al ready had in their blood.

The Communist Party newspap er, devoting much of its issue to a statistical report of the nation's progress last year, listed the three delinquents as: forestry, 93 per cent ot quota; iisneries wi per cent, and meat and milk products, 97 per cent. The paper added that a number of individual factories, mines and oil fields failed to meet their tar gets because Ihey did not work with the "necessary rhythm." Pravda said these branches "produced a major part of their goods at the end of one month and pcrmitled lowering production beginning the next month." "This led to enormous losses in working time and equipment," the paper reporled. Those leading the 1954 list were: Tractor and agricultural machin ery 105 per cent, consumer goods 105, means of conrmunieation 105, health 108. coal and fuel 106, indus trial cooperatives 106. Pravda said 47 million of Rus sia's 220 million inhabitants hold jobs. This did not include those employed on collective farms, esti mated at about 50 million persons.

In some of the cases the hiccups has lasted nine months and resist ed all other known me'hods of treatment. The phrenic nerve has been crushed as a last-resort but still futile measure in five of the cases. Drs. Charles E. Fricdgood and Charles B. Ripslein said hiccuping stopped in 46 of 50 patienrs treated when they were given chlorproma zine. Chlorpromazine, a drug develop ed in France, now is available in the United States under the trade name thorazine. The drug also has been used to control severe nausea and vomiting and for the relief of pain and anxiety. Writing in tne Journal ot the American Medical Assn., the Brooklyn doctors said all of the 50 patients they treated with the drug were suffering from intract able hiccups, symptoms had per sisted from days to months. Heavy doses of sedatives, carbon dioxide inahlation and other medical and surgical therapy had been tried without success. Forty-one of the pa'.ients ob tained permanent relief from the drug, five obtained temporary re lief and four failed to benefit. The doctors said the drug mav fail or the hiccups may return if the underlying cause is not cor reeled. Four of their patients tailed to show any response, they said, be cause the factors causing the hic cups were not treated. These pa tients suffered from such things as an abscess near the phrenic nerve, which controls action of the diaphragm, or an improperly func tioning colon.
