Br A1U L. BUkcsle I Assnctat.4 PrM Science Reporter NEW YORK. Aug. 20-tfVPolio panic is hitting millions of chil dren and parents this year. This panic isn't new. But it may be getting worse. It comes from fear, and from ignorance or misunderstanding of what is known about infantile paralysis. "The fear and panic over polio- can be worse than, the disease Itself," declares Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical director ofthe National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Many parents break out with , the polio Jitters each summer. Trey torment themselves with worry. Their homes and children get upset. Often, children are forbidden to live or lay normally. They may be cooped ip in the house, with mother and child getting on each other's nerves. They may be for bidden to swim anywhere, or even to use their own wading pools. Camps, movies or a trip into town are banned by some ftarents. Frightened parents may mpe these taboos even when there has been only one or a few cases of polio a few miles away. Emotional llarm And thefact is that such steps do no good.. The net result is emotional harm to the children. by -giving them the idea that some unknown terror is abroad. No one Wants polio. And no one wants to e;ct hit bv a car while rrrxssing the street The best you can do is to observe , the traffic safety rules. Even then you mieht be hit. But that slim chance doesn't keep you glued to the corner, afraid to go across. "Parents and their children wou'd be far better off if they took the same reasonable attitude toward polio." Dr. Van Riper said. Knowing the facts about polio Is the best way to banish fear Here are some fictions about lio. and the firts as cited bv Jr. Harry M. weaver, researcn director of the foundation: Flrtloa: That polio is the worst of all childhood diseases. Fact: Polio in any recognizable form is relatively rare. Rheuma tic fever is the worst by far, both as a killer and crippler. Even in a bad polio year, only 1 in every 6.000 Americans gets polio. And only one in every 15.000 is left alightly or badly paralyzed, or dies. Ficttoa: That crowds are the Eost dangerous . places for pick X up polio. Fact: Polio Is a communicable disease, apparently spread by in timate '. personal contact such as occurs at home. It apparently takes time and intimacy to con tract if. "Going through a polio ward is hot dangerous at all. unless you kit on a patient's bed, handle his glass and eating utensils, and Spend time with him. Riding on a bus is not harmful, unless you hold hands, share sandwiches or the like." The home appears to be the most dangerous place. When one member gets It, there's a good chance that others will. For every person who develops polio, five : to 10 mar have the virus in. their Intestinal tracts. They may be carriers spreading it to others. Why they don't get sick them selves Is one of the myiteriea. Portland Produce PORTLAND.

One mine was reported seized by 8,000 strikers. At another min ers threatened resistance if troops were sent in. The cabinet of President Ga briel Gonzalez Videla said it cre ated the state of emergency a modified form of martial law to meet "revolutionary action by the communist party." The government ordered the ar rest of all communist leaders in the mining areas. It served notice that suir.mary measures would be tak en against any individual helping to promote or maintain the strikes or contributing to disorder. CVA Hearings To Start after Congress Quits CENTRALIA, Wash- Aug. 20 (P -Congressional field hearings on the Columbia Valley Administr ation bill are scheduled to start two weeks after congress adjourns, the league for CVA announced today. The league executive board met here today to discuss strategy for the forthcoming hearings. Rep. Hugh B. Mitchell (D-Wash) president of the league, has sug gested Sept. 19 as a possible date. The Seattle congressman said con gress had granted funds for the hearings. Attending today's conference were the leaders of the Washing ton and Oreeon federations of la- bor, E. M. Weston and J. T. Marr; the masters of the Oregon and Washington granges, Morton Tom pkins and Henry P. Cars tense n, and Roy W. Atkinson, CIO region al director. The group announced that it would a5k the senate-house public works committee to schedule hear ings at "as many points as prac ticable" in the Columbia basin. A telegram sent to Sen. Dennis Chavez (D-NM), chairman of the senate committee, said "we under stand the purpose of these hear ings is to determine the grass roots sentiment for or against CVA. Consequently we are anxious to have the committee as widely ex posed to the people, as is humanly poaeible.

Y., Aug. 20 -WV The president of strike-bound Bell Aircraft Corp., said today that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's refusal to provide state police or militia protection "is totally unsatisfac tory.' The governor, in a telegram from Albany, declined a joint plea for help sent him by Lawrence D. Bell, head of the aircraft firm, and Niagara county Sheriff Henry E. Becker. The request followed a demon stration yesterday by hundreds of strikers who marched through the plant ! Ben said at least six employes were beaten by the demonstrators He called the incident "one of the moat despicable chapters in the entire history of the labor move ment" CIO United Auto Workers spokesmen said the strikers mere ly were checking on employes at work. They denied there was any violence. Dewey told Becker that as sher iff he had "complete and unlimit ed power to deputize any num ber" of; men to handle the situa tion, and added: I shall hold you strictly ac countable for any failure" to "dis charge your responsibilities."

It seems from the fact that ev ery year since the war the world has gained another 20,000,000 mouths to feed. There is hope but there is no certainty that the world's crop producing acres will be improved enough to keep pace with the add ed demand for food. For the American taxpayer this is a much more serious problem than for any other set of tax payers in the world. It is American aid that is attempting to keep at work, and feed, the peoples of 16 western European nations, west ern German), Korea and Japan. It is American aid that is sought for the underdeveloped areas of the world, like some of the Latin Am erican nations. War Didnt Stop Growth Europe alone has 219,000,000 people. Even the war didn't stop European population 'ncreases. In the past 10 years Europe's popu lation has jumped by 14,000,000. The population reference bu reau, a private research organiza tion in Washington, says the time may come, if the Marshall plan is followed by other "plans" to help Europe, when Americans "will be faced with the choice of saving Europe's babies or Amer ica's babies of the future." Surpluses to Drop Secretary of the Interior Krug. in his report "natural resources and foreign aid." has said that un less the United States itself can soon stabilize its population nd conserve its natural resources, this country will have few surpluses to win any iuture wars or feed starving nations. The United Nations food and agriculture organization (FAO) takes a more optimistic stand. It says the world can feed its mil lions if its farmers will just be more intelligent about the use of their land. It talks of irrigation projects, of fertilizer: and better seed. One FAO economist recalls that British writers a century ago said the world's population was growing too great to feed itself. However, FAO men will not say for sure that better use of the land will catch up with the miT'ons of new mouths the world has to feed each year. Lang Ssrmggle Dm What's the answer? It's a long struggle. ' The 'population reference bu reau thinks: "For her own good Kurope should lose no time In trying to establish a favorable ratio of pop "'arion to resources before the time wham the U.S. can no longer underwrite her material deficits." 1,1" I pi tuv.nip 5.. !', A - ' 1 n 711 71 Isle ef Wight, Eaglaad, ') TMmlTLmrltjmaX, eg iiljliillilllllllk; T ffT'-"-" VIKINCS INVADE approaches the English coast in gpiv ,.Tat.'.-js. )ovfr -vier ami - - , BaajlL ifn v ...
