Sixtv-eieht cases were re ported in the state yesterday. Last year at this time there vere only 103 cases. The situa tion was considered a state-wide epidemic when the 1000 mark was reached. Boston Health Commissioner John H. Cauley said that a de crease of three cases over the previous day was encouraging. More Indicative "A gradual decrease is more Indicative of a leveling off than a precipitous drop in the num ber of cases," Cauley said. "T h e situation has not changed any just because it has been labeled an epidemic," said Dr. Joseoh P. Reardon of the Massachusetts Health De partment. O "The disease is on the down- grade in Boston or at least has leveled off." Reardon said. "It is now beginning to move out (3 of the city. Last week it moved into the Connecticut Valley area." G He said the Berkshire Hills region and Cape Cod are the only areas to escape epidemic conditions. The county chapter of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis said it was prepared to give financial assistance to families of polio patients in the greater Boston area. The chap ter now is pa3'ing medical ex penses for "more than 350 vic t:ms of the current polio out break," it said. There has been only 23 cases among children who received a single shot of Salk anti-polio Xvaccine in the foundation's pro gram. There was a single case among children who had two or more shots. Some 160,000 children received a single shot and 20,000 received two or more hots before the program was galled off because of the polio season. you've Qot a Come One!

"About all you need is one helper and a hammer," said Stires. Strictly speaking the spacious, T-shaped ranch house Stires is building is not a prefab. It might be called a precut. It incorporates the latest build ing techniques developed by some construction-wise college professors at Purdue and the University of Illinois. The house represents the con ventional builder's answer to the prefab, and requires less labor to build. The exterior walls are framed with pre-formed panels which soon you may be able to buy from your lumber dealer. The roof is framed with pre-formed trusses. The wall panels are two feet or four feet wide and almost ceiling height. Each panel has a sole plate, a top plate and studs made with two-by-fours. No Waste to Sheathing To this rectangular frame is nailed conventional sheathing, obtainable in two and four-foot widths so there is no waste. Stires has carried the pre forming idea a step further and has insulated each panel with conventional batting type insula tion material. The roof trusses are something of an innovation, too.

"One of the professors told us the Egyptians used casein glue," Stires said. "Archaeologists have dug up glued objects 3000 years old that haven't come unstuck." Each truss weighs 70 pounds and can be installed by two men. Stronger Roof Stires said the stress and strain experts declared that the trussed roof is stronger than a conven tional rafter roof, and it doesn't tend to push out the walls as a Former Washington Governor Succumbs Cheney, Wash. '(U.R) Former Washington state governor Clar ence D. Martin died at his home here last night. Dr. J. P. Caldwell, attending physician, said the 69-year-old Martin died from a respiratory failure brought on by Parkin son's disease, an ailment of the arteries. The former governor had been unconscious for the last 24 hours. Martin was elected governor in the Democratic landslide of 1932 that swept JFranklin D. Roosevelt into the White House. He served two terms until 1940. Martin was Washington's 11th governor. $es are soaring past arecorcfe bom 2. v.. - beca0se ,n ru,vl Buick in History!

The exterior walls are topped by a "continuous" lintel made of double two-by-sixes running all the way around the house. This permits the builder to cut windows and doors anywhere he chooses. Flooring the house is a breere, because when the house is framed it's just one big room, which can be floored in one operation. The interior partitions are put in later, and are non bearing. The house Stires is building is a luxurious number with four bedrooms, a huge living room and fireplace and a spacious din ing area. It uses more lumber than a conventional model, but none is wasted. There are no scraps lying around the building site. "And almost anybody could build it, with the help of his uncle or brother-in-law," Stires said. ' Dr. Robert E.
