.Bird Makes Last
Minute Appeal
Walla Walla, July 12 W
Appeals to stay the execution
of two men scheduled to die
minutes apart Friday on the
Washington state penitentiary
gallows were in the mails to
day. Dr. Sol Levy of the Eastern
State hospital spent three hours
yesterday in a mental examina
tion of Arthur Bruce Perkins,
i 23, who has been condemned
to death for the murder of an
elderly Olympia couple. Dr. Le-
vy declined to comment except
; to say that his findings will be
in the hands of Governor Lang
lie by Wednesday morning,
when members of the Perkins
family will make a personal ap
peal in Olympia for executive
. clemency.
j The other appeal is, of course,
by Jake Bird, who already has
a'managed to postpone three pre
"i vlous meetings with the hang
man. Bird's attorney, Murray
Taggart, said he has mailed a
writ of certiorari to the U. S.
supreme court, seeking a re
view 01 JJira s conviction ior me
slaying of Mrs. Bertha Kludt two
years ago in Tacoma.
This will be the third time the
. clever Negro had laid his case
before the country's highest
court. And the serpentine Odys
sey of Bird's many appeals has
" led almost numberless times
through every tribunal which
would hear him.

EPIDEMIC 'HOT SPOT'
Writer Visits Hospital
In Heart of Polio Area
' (Editor's Note: The United Press has sent science writer
Paul F. Ellis to San Angelo, Tex., to do a series on the polio
epidemic raging there. His dispatches will deal with the
epidemic itself, how it started, the hysteria it engendered
and how the city overcame its panic. His first dispatch, which
. follows, describes a visit to a polio ward.)
By PAUL F. ELLIS
United Preee Selene Writer
' San Angelo, Tex. (U.B I put on a doctor's white surgical gown
and visited patients in the polio isolation wards of Shannon Mem
orial hospital.
The gown was necessary so that I didn't carry any bacteria
from the outside to the patients and also to lessen the chance of
my taking any polio virus from
the. hospital to the outside.
I saw polio as it struck in
fants, teen agers and adults.
My escort was Lanier H. Bell,
director of physical medicine,
the science of the use of physi
cal agents in the treatment of
diseases and injuries. Bell, 40,
and an expertly trained man,
knows his patients by their first
names.
The hospital is a medical cen
ter equipped as well as any met
ropolitan hospital and to which
polio patients in this epidemic
"hot spot" are being sent from
towns as far away as 150 miles.
First rooms visited were those
reserved for '.'borderline" polio
cases. The doctors here don't
want to put a patient in the iso
lation wards until the diagnosis
of polio is reasonably estab
lished. Few have been sent
back home.
The first patient visited was
Patsy, an eight-year-old, dark-
eyed Mexican girl. I saw only
her head. The rest of her body
was in an iron lung. In her case
polio paralyzed the breathing
muscles of her chest and dia
phram. Her "iron lung" was
one of several furnished by the
National Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis and was flown
here by U. S. air force aviators
from nearby Goodfellow field.
In Patsy's case the doctors
believe she'll be able to live
without the artificial respirator.
Already they are trying to con
vince her. Once or twice a day
they take her out of the lung
and, lying on a rolling table, she
is taken on a tour of the polio
wards. The treatment is to get

lung.
The acute polio cases are kept
on the second floor of the hos
pital. There are several ward
rooms.
In one ward we talked with
six-year-old, red-haired Nancy.
Downstairs in the convalescent
ward was her mother who is
about to be discharged.
In the room with Nancy were
numerous other young children,
most of whom were receiving
hot packs packs to relieve the
pain and tenderness typical of
acute cases.
The packs in most cases are
applied about every 45 minutes
during the daytime hours.
Today there were 66 cases of
polio in the hospital. We visited
virtually all of them. In one
ward room .there were half doz
en infants with varying degrees
of polio.
Bell then led the way down
stairs to the convalescent rooms
where patients are "on their
way" to dismissal or to an in
stitution which specializes in
the rehabilitation of damaged
muscles.
In one room there were five
men including one cow-puncher
from the great plains near here.
He and three companions were
playing poker for matches.
Back to Bell's department of
physical therapy we learned
that since June .4 there have
been 96 discharges from the hos
pital here. Of that number
about six were repeat cases.
But the number did emphasize
the long known fact that most
polio cases recover without dis-
1. Even before you call, you can start getting the most
for your money. It's a good idea to make a list of the things
you want to talk about. A few handy notes can help make
sure you won't think of something you really wanted to
say after you hang up.. Experienced long distance users
keep paper and pencil at the telephone and make notes'
while they're talking, too.

2. When you place your call, you can save time all
around if you give the information to your long distance
operator this way: First, the name of the town you're
calling.. .then, the number if you know it, or the address.
(Good idea to keep a list of the outof-town numbers you
call most frequently.) Next, if if s a person call, give the
name of the one you want to talk with.
4. Wise use of the telephone -either local or long dis
tance helps you get the greatest value from it And serv
ice is constantly growing more valuable. A local call is still
just a few pennies. And you can make a daytime station
call from coast to coast for only $2.50, plus tax... a real
bargain in these days of higher prices.
3. When you complete your call, be sure to hang up
promptly and properly.' If you remember to use these
pointers every time you call long distance, you'll be cer
tain of getting the most from your call for the least money.
With really efficient use of the telephone, you can pack as
many words into a three-minute call as you can in a letter
and you'll get an answer to your questions right away.
