RIOTS BOMBAY, India i Police opened fire on rioting students in the North Indian city of Patna today, according to reports re ceived in Bombay. At least lour demonstrators were killed by po lice bullets after tear gas had been used in attempts to disperse crowds. NEW YORK The National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis to day took the unprecedented action of calling upon us 3,100 local chap ters to lurn in all their sua plus funds so that the nation's polio program may "survive." The action came as Basil O'Con nor, president of the National Foun dation thanked Americans lor con tributing a gross of $52,511. 185.69 to Uie 1955 March of Dimes last Jan uary, but added that this amount fell approximately $12 million snort of the need, "despite jour deter mined etforts." "With ail the sincerity of purpose at my command," O'Connor said in his appeal to chapter chairmen, "I call upon our chapters with sur plus funds to respond willingly and immediately to our desperate need." A large part of the shortage feced by the foundation remains. Mr. O'Connor said, eve! in face ot a $3 million reduction In the cost of the Salk vaccine following Dr. Jonas Salk's recommendation that first and second grade school chil dren be given two shots now in stend of three. O'Connor said the National Foun dation was a.-king chapters for 60 per cent of their surpluses now, with the rest to be turned in later should circumstances warrant it. This action stemmed from a spe cial resolution by the organization's board of trustees after a survev bed shown that: "If all chapters spent the same amount this year as last lor patient aid and chapter operations, there would be about $10 million in cash remaining in 1.781 chapter treas uries next December 31. "If this S10 million could be called In and used solely lor redistribu tion to the 1.274 chapters estimat ed to need help, our patieut ud program could survive." O Connor said the board of trus tees decided against an emergen cy March of Dunes and called lor contributions of surpluses instead, because "60 per cent of the chap ters were solvent while 40 per cent were destitute." Interestingly enough, O'Connor i went on, the plight of chapters! with overburdening polio loads wasj not the result of poor fund rats-j ing. On the contrary, he said. thei chanters in nped harl raispri more ! money per capita than those with surpluses. He cited the Los Angeles County Chapter as an example of the prob lem Willi which chapters were cop ing all over the country. Noting that this chapter was a consistent leader in March of Dimes perform ance and had moved up this year I when the national total fell, O'Con nor added: "Yec, before this year is out, Los Angeles will require more than sou.uuu over and auove its snare financial obligations. Up to July 1.) the cnapier already naa expended S565.623 for the care of M2 pa tients, lid of whom are in iron lungs or rockuig beds. This is not a new story ... In a dof n years, the staggering number of 14.500 children, mothers and fathers were stricken at a cost of $8,500,000 to our chapter ..." Already this year, he said. It has been necc&snry to rescue hun dreds of other chapters whose li nancial obligations were disliess ingly acute. Polio Incidence this year, he explained, is running somewhat behind last year's but the burden of carry-over cases has not lessoned and the demands ot continued vaccine research are tre mendous in their scope. The decision of the board of trus tees to ask chapters to turn in existing surpluses was seconded on July M by a conference in New York City of 30 representative chap ter rhairmen. It was the consensus of this group, O'Connor said: "That even with our Immediate future in serious jeopardy we can not in good faith ask the public again to come to our aid while money is available in so many of our chapters. "I am sure," he concluded, "that our chapter volunteers, who have brought surcease to so many. thou sands of polio victims, and have been diiectly .responsible for Dr. Salk and his vaccine, will see to it that this great organization ful fills its destiny."
