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."
