Polio Victim Keeps 'Death Log' Navy Lieut. James O.
Chiles, 25, who died of bulbar poliomyelitis in Washington,
D. C, described the progress of the disease in hand written
notes which his wife released in the hopes that they might,
in some way, help doctors who are studying the disease.
Unable to speak, Lieut. Chiles started the "death log" about
12 hours before he died. He is shown above with his wife,
Dorothy, and daughter, Diana Mae. (Acme Telephoto)
WIDOW RELEASES LAST NOTES
Young Pilot, Polio Victim,
Writes of Death Pains
Washington, Aug. 3 VP) Notes written by a young navy pilot
stricken with polio in the hopes that he might help "find a
cure for this thing" have been released by his widow now that
he is dead.
The pilot was James Olin Chiles, 25, junior grade lieutenant
stationed at Anacostia naval air
base. He was taken to Bethesda
(Md) naval hospital a week ago
with symptoms of polio.
Mrs. Chiles, 26, visited him
last Wednesday when he was
still able to talk. He told her:
"Dorothy, this is the best thing
that could happen. Maybe I can
work with the doctors and find
a cure for this thing."
A few hours later he wrote
his first case note, in pencil in
his personal notebook:
"To doctor
"First noticed vision incoher
ent or something at 1640 (4:40
p.m.) Can't even see clearly
what I'm writing.
"If anybody puts me in a res
pirator please note: I cannot
swallow. I have a rapid accumu
lation of mucous in my throat.
If I am not allowed to turn my
head to the side to spit I'll choke
to death."
His next brief note was an
hour later:
"Doctor
"1753 (5:53 p.m.) Noted very
poor control of tongue in
mouth."
Mrs. Chiles asked him how
things were going, but he could
only answer in a scrawl:
"My guess is that I'm going
to be all right."
She asked if he were in pain.
He replied by pencil:
"Some but not bad.
"Every person on this floor
has a (word unreadable) conta-
gious disease
don't want you
around.
"Can't read
temporarily.
"Only thing
vision's shot
I'm worried
about is you.
"Help me get pillow under
head.
"You should not stay. This
will be my worst night. Tomor
row we should know."
Mrs. Chiles asked if she could
get him anything. He wrote:
"Doctor prescribes what I
need."
And then was the last note of
all:
"My neck is paralyzed, does
n't hurt anymore."
That was about 8 p.m. Wccf
nesday. Lieutenant Chiles died, ot
