New York U.R) Johnny
Smith, 5, felt pretty lousy when
he woke up. Didn't bounce out
of bed as usual. Had a case of
sniffles. His brow, under his
mother's hand, felt hot.
She wasn't too alarmed. Colds
had hit like this before and, in
that amazing way children have,
just as suddenly disappeared.
But she kept him in bed, took
his temperature. It was just over
100 degrees. 1
By nightfall, it had gone up to
102. And Johnny had developed
a stiff neck. When his dad came
home from work the Smiths de
cided to call the doctor.
Johnny Smith is one of those
who got polio. Maybe he got it
despite a Salk shot or maybe
he didn't get an inoculation. But
he is a symboile reminder that
we haven't won the war against
polio. Not yet.
As diseases go, polio is not a
big killer. But it inspires fear
because it is a crippler, a trag
edy for those it hits hard. It be
gins when the insidious polio
virus is transmitted from one
person to another in ways which
are not always clear.
The virus often moves through
the intestines and into the
bowel, breaks through the
bowel walls and settles in fatty
tissue, growing and multiplying.
In time, the virus, for some rea
son, leaves the fatty tissue and
enters the bloodstream.
This is the point at which the
Salk vaccine helps the body
fight the invader. If the body's
defenses do not stop the virus
here, it settles in the central
nervous system, gradually de
stroying the nerve cells which
control arms, legs, lungs and
other vital areas. Paralysis re
sults.
The first symptoms are usually
the same as those of a dozen
other diseases, fever, headache,
Anniversary Ride
Ends In Pursuit
Detroit (U.R) The J. L
Hudson Co. resumed horse
drawn delivery wagon service to
day despite a near disaster on its
trial run.
The firm sent out a wagon,
two horses and a driver, George
McEwen, 60, yesterday to make
deliveries on the city's east side
in commemoration of its 75th
anniversary.
The trouble started, McEwen
said, when "some kids in a hot
rod kept roaring by in an effort
to rattle the animals."
The horses reared, tossing Mc
Ewen out of the wagon, and then
took off down the street, side
swiping a car. McEwen, who had
thumbed a ride from a passing
motorist, was in hot pursuit.
The chase ended when the
team crashed into a parked car
and became entangled. McEwen
said neither he nor the horses
were injured.
Ava Gardner Held
By Italian Customs
Rome (U.R) Italian cus
toms officials detained actress
Ava Gardner for an hour last
night when she arrived here
from Madrid with an expired
passport.
Ava, who was accompanied by
American movie director Fred
H. Herbert, said she flew to
Rome for a few days to buy
three dresses from the Rome
fashion house which is making
Margaret Truman's trousseau.
But when customs men glanc
ed at her passport they found it
had expired. Ava waited for an
hour in the Ciampino airport bar
while custom officials fixed the
problem.
Passport Control, gave her a
temporary permit to stay in
Rome pending renewal of the
passport.

sore throat, listnessness and per
haps vomiting. In many persons
the disease ends here without
lasting harm, without even be
ing diagnosed.
But if the virus makes the
jump to the nervous system, the
symptoms become more distinc
tive stiff neck, pain in the ex
tremities, unusual sensitivity of
the skin, stiff back, and finally
muscular weakness and loss of
control.
'Predisposing Influence'
Why does polio hit some peo
ple harder than others. The. rea
son is that some receive heavier
doses of the virus, some get
types II or III which are often
less severe than type I, and
some have more natural resist
ance. Some authorities say there are
"predisposing influences",, such
as a recent tonsillectomy, which
are followed by the deadly bul
bar polio more often than might
be expected. Severe exertion,
stress, injury, or even minor
things like injections for dip
theria also seem to contribute to
the severity of a polio case.
I visited a cheerful little ward
in Mt. Sinai hospital here in
New York. A teen-age boy strug
gled to move his frail arm. It
hung limply on slings in front
of him.
A respirator heaved rhythmi
cally on his chest, forcing air in
and out out of his lungs. Two
young nurses adjusted the slings
and told him to try again.
This time the arm moved,
ever so little. A triumphant
smile washed over his face. "It
moved. I've got flexion," he said
And everyone congratulated
him.
But that arm will never work
really well again. Last August,
the boy was hit by polio. He will
be a cripple for life. Only about
4 per cent of those who get polio
die. But there are tens of thous
ands of others like the boy who
had polio in years gone by, and
will still get it.
Sees Polio Controlled
Basil O'Connor, president of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, discussed the
problem as we talked in his
Waldorf Astoria suite.
"The vaccine is going to bring
paralytic polio under control in
four or five years," he said. "I
don't think there's any ques
tion about it. But it's going to
take eight or nine years to cut
down on the terrific patient load
and there probably will be some
cases for a long time after that."
O'Connor first began fighting
polio with the late President
Roosevelt 31 years ago. The
foundation now takes care of
60,000 polio victims. It is spend
ing $30,000,000 a year to pro
vide therapy, medical care, hos
pitalization and nursing. The
outlay for a single patient some
times runs to $30,000.
The foundation spent millions
to develop the Salk vaccine to
prevent polio. It is spending mil
lions more in the weary search
for better ways to treat poilo,
possibly even to cure it.
Vaccine eventually may end
the scourge of polio. But never
for these people in Mt. Sinai,
and many like them all over the
country.
