'Hard Drivers' Given
Better Survival Odds
Over Polio by Doctor
Br DELOS SMITH
United Prow Correspondent
Los Angeles OJ.F0 Among
polio's worst stricken victims.
It's the "hard driving personali
ties" who are often most likely
to live, a psychologist has de
clared. Dr. Leonard Wendland, psy
chologist at Rancho Los Amigas,
a county institution with the
largest ward of polio "respirator
cases" in the world, said these
persons belonged to the class
"who want to get ahead in a
hurry."
"They're the type of people
who hold an eight-hour-a-day job
with a correspondence course or
some other self-betterment pro
gram which takes four hours or
so of their time evenings, ana
who are building homes for
themselves week ends," he said.
Doesn't Know Why
He confessed he didn't know
why this is. but he intends find
ing out. Right now he is collect
ing psychological studies on two
classes of "total" polio victims,
those who die in "iron lungs"
and those who adjust to mechani
cal respirators so well that their
life expectancies are not much
lower than those of healthy per
sons. Dr. Kenneth Landuer, assist
ant medical director of the Na
tional, Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, said there was no
knowledge now that indicated
one personality type was any
more susceptible to polio than
another.
Fatigue Factor Studied
But he pointed to the "fatigue
factor. Experiments with ani
mals have demonstrated that
much physical exertion during
the incubation of polio virus
often results in severe paralysis.
Experimental animals which
were kept inactive during the in
cubation period produced, -dig;
matically fewer cases of per
manent paralysis.
"The hard - drivers are much
more likely to keep right on
UNDER THE YOLK
Sacramento, Calif. U.R)
Poultry specialists on the Davis
campus of the University of Cal
ifornia are busy telling the
world's biggest "omelet" 17,
000 broken eggs. The eggs come
from 50 California breeding
flocks and are broken and tested
in a project to see if a whole
flock of chicken can lay Grade
AA eggs. The "omelet" may con
tain the secret of what's involved

for egg quality.
going when they feel the first
symptoms," he said. "The others
go to bed."
More 'Will' To Live
But Dr. Wendland pointed out
that hard drivers were more
likely to "will" to live even
though they couldn't move or
breathe.
The Rancho Los Amigos res
pirator center maintained by the
March of Dimes organization has
at the moment 120 patients
whose lives hang on mechanical
breathers.
A staff of 200 care for them,
more staff than patients. Before
a nurse or attendant can join the
staff he or she must submit to
being locked into an "iron lung."
The rule is that every member of
the staff caring for patients must
understand what it is to be such
a prisoner.

Cornerstone Box
Contents Studied
Canton, N. Y. 4U.R) Offic
ials at St. Lawrence University
are taking a look into the past.
They are studying items in a
copper box removed from the
cornerstone of the ruins of Fish
er Hall. The box was left in the
cornerstone at ceremonies Aug,
10, 1881. The building was de
stroyed by fire in December,
1051.
Among the mementos in the
box were copies of local news
papers, the St. Lawrence Plain
Dealer and the Canton Commer
cial Advertiser. Officials, also
found some silver coins, vintage
1881, plus a revised version of
the New Testament of 1881.
Since the university was called
St Lawrence Theological School
In those days, religious items
predominated in the collection.
In that category is an outline of
a sermon, "Angels," drawn by
Dr. Ebenezer Fisher, after whom
the building was named.

for where they have to build.
Expecting double the enroll

in June of a new library on its
downtown campus. The one

But President Leonard B. Job
said that "it is with great re
gret that Ithaca College under
takes additional new construc

"We assure our friends, who
have made pledges looking to
ward the development of the hill
campus, that no part of the funds
so raised is to be used in the
construction of the new library
building."

And the description is strictly
up to the announcer.
The Memphis event will be the
biggest announcing job Jones
ever has done but he's been at
it for years as a hobby.
When there's a rodeo, Jones
decides it's time for a few days
off and off he goes.
Jones can sell automobiles
and rodeos to other people but
around his home it's a different
story.
He has three children, two
boys and a girl. The girl likes

Reporter Has Few Trying
Times at Nudist Conclave
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
San Bernadino, Calif. (U.R)
r m glad it was a nice day, be
cause I. was weaiing only lip
stick and sunglasses.
As the sole woman reporter at
the American Sunbathing Asso
ciation convention which ended
yesterday, I had only a few try
ing moments.
The first was getting used to
being without clothes. This
lasted about three minutes.
The second was rougher. I
ran into four news photographers
I know. '
Line of Duty
We recognized each other and
exchanged nervous laughs. It
was all in the line of duty, we
agreed.
Reporters covering the nudists
were required to strip down, and
I was no exception.
It may come as a shock to
many readers, but a nudist camp
is devoid of sex. If I didn't real
ize this at first, the point was
brought home to me when one
girl "wore" a scarf which cov
ered her bosom.
Younger members around her
whistled, and an elderly gentle
man next to me said in a chilly
tone, "you see what happens
when people put on clothes?"
Hold Fashion Show
Hundreds of nudes in all
shapes and sizes are not seduc
tive. After seeing them, I feel
that only Marilyn Monroe should
be clothesless.
The nudists held a fashion
show in which models were
adorned with hats, sandals and
earrings. They also demonstrated
a beach basket designed to solve
the nudists' No. 1 problem, no
pockets. .
After the show members
staged a parody on people who
wear clothes. It was in the form
of a masquerade ball, and it was
hard to recognize anyone.
They all wore clothes.
Home Lending for Vets

After a nationwide survey of

mainder of the year will be more
