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.

Of Emergency
SATIAGO, Chile, Aug. 28 -CV
The government decreed state
of emergency throughout Chile to
day and sent troops and navel
units into six mining provinces
where it said communist-led
strikes had flared.
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

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.

To Send Militia
To Struck Plant
BUFFALO. N. 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."

Falling Behind
By Sigrtd Arae
AP rorotgn Affairs Analyst
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 -(AV
Behind all the Washington chat
ter of billions in help for Europe,
billions to give underdeveloped
areas American aid, there is de
veloping here a much more ser
ious question.
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."
