Opens In Washington And Is
Attended By Experts From
Entire Country

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.-Plans
for q more vigorous campaign to pre-
vent spread of infantile paralysis
were made here today at confer
ence Of health authorities OF most OF
the states with officials Of the federal
public Health service. Resolutions
will be adopted tomorrow by the con-
ference in which eminent plague ex-
perts, scientists and psychologists
are participating, outlining definite
proposals for checking dissemination
Of the disease.
While few Of those present today
expressed alarm that the epidemic
might assume countrywide pro-
portions. they uniformly declared
measures were necessary to guard
against widespread outbreak. Ad-
mission was freely made by many ex-
perts that the cause of the plague is
unoknown and the means of its trans,
mission not conclusively determined.
Physicians who have been. fighting it
in New York. Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut gave the latest
scientific observations OF these as
poets.
A national survey presented by the
state delegates, showed 1l,711 cases IN
2S states renorting, including cases
since January |.
