New York, Aug 1--(UP)-In- fantile paralysis which broke out in Brooklyn recently appeared to- day to be spreading slowly despite drastic preventative measures. A total of 620 new cases of the dis ease were reported since January 1, as compared with 78 for the corresponding period last year. Un- til last week the epidemic was cen- tered in Brooklyn, with few scat tered cases elsewhere.

Of the 1l new cases yesterday, 41 were chil- dren in Brooklyn. Sixteen Man haitian youngsters. six in the Bronx. and four each in Richmond and Queens completed the total.
 Among the child sufferers are many tragic cases. There is little 10-year- Sally Louise Dalton. who has been left entirely para lyzed, unable to breathe. and forced to lie in the "drinker re- spirator" at a Brooklyn hospital. having air pumped in and out of her lungs artihcially. sally has as- founded physicians, who say she hasnst q chance to live. by living m days in the mechanical lung ana keeping cheerful and happy.

The Little Green Harp of Tara's Halls Discovered in a Dusty Corner of the Drexel Institute Muse- um at Philadelphia
By NEA Service

Philadelphia, Aug. In a dusty corner of the Drexel Institute Mu- scum there has been standing for many years, unnoticed, graceful little green harp. Nobody seemed to know anything about 1t except that it had been there ever since the museum itself was founded, standing next to the desk on which Byron wrote "Don Juan."
 Now it has been rediscovered as the instrument that belonged to Thomas Moore, the Irish poet, who sang, "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls," and whose Believe Me, If All Those Endear- ing Young Charms is remember ed by everyone to-day.
 Thus America, which century and a qurater ago was smarting under Moore's harshly critical comments based on his brief tour of the United States and Canada, now finds itself the possessor of

From the L0wliest PatrOl- man to Politician Who Rules His Destiny, the American Police Struc- ture Is Lambasted in Vigorous Terms in Re- port Just Made Public By the White House
POLICE SCHOOLS
 WERE COMMENDED

Washington, August 1--CUP)- The American police structure, from the lowliest patrolman to the politician who controls his destiny, was condemned to-day by the Wickersham commission.
 With a few exceptions, city police forces were represented as, domin- ated by corrupt politicians. admin istered by inexperienced or incom- petent executives in constant fear of their jobs. and with personnel severely handicapped by sketchy training. inferior intelligence. in- adequate wages and insufficient equipment.
 Blame for these conditions was placed chiefly on the control exer- cised by politicians over appoint ment of police chiefs. This control, the commission concluded, has re- suited in designation of incompe- tent executives replaced with such kaleidoscopic rapidity that they have little opportunity to familiar ize themselves with their duties. The nations police were anal yZed in a 140A page study. the commissions ninth publication. It was made public by the White House. ,Se ! The report sa4d there has 'beer "a loss of public confidence in the police of our Country" due 10 f"tf1o general failure of the police to de- tect and arrest criminals guilty of the many murders, spectacular bank, payroll and other hoid-ups, and sensational robberies with guns"
 Uncertainty surrounding the chiefs tenure of office, it added. seeps down through the ranks and makes for restless, worried and inefficient employees" The familiar procedure of appointing police chiefs was outlined, with the mayor picking his man on the basis of politicians recommendations and with the new chief never certain how long he will be in office. Such appointments. the report said, usually are the result of popu- lar outcry against the incumbent. When such outcries, frequently in- spired by interested politicians, be- come too loud. the mayor dis charges the chief. The report said the new chief was likely to be an

New London, which holds its the first community in the state to vote on the two questions Many towns and cities in the state hold elections in October. among them being Waterbury. Others will not hold annual elections until next spring.
 However. all towns, cities and boroughs must vote on the two questions before the next sitting of the state legislature. Then, if the majority of the Connecticut elec- tors approve the two changes in the constitution, q confirming vote of the assembly will be necessary. This is expected in view of the fact that the legislators, at their session. this year. voted in favor of the two amendments.
 Absentee voting Is now allowed in practically every state of the Union. This state has been lax in amending It's constitution to per- init absentee voting for Connecti- cut electors. The idea is to cre- ate greater convenience for voters who are absent from the state on business or who are in educational institutions and also for persons too i'll to go to the voting places to cast their ballots.
 The other change will permit the assistant town clerk to sub- stitute for the town clerk in the enrolment of new voters. There is no opposition expected to either proposal.
 Next year, when the state elec- ton takes place, another referen- dunn will take place. It concerns the 18th amendment. The electors

VATICAN CITY
 BEGINS TO USE ITS NEW COINAGE
The 2l Cardinals Received Part of Their Salaries in This Newest Money

Vatican City. Aug 1.-UP)-- The new Vatican City coinage was used to-day to pay part of the sal aries of the 21 cardinals.
 The cardinals received part of their salaries of $400 a month in the new Vatican City "nickels."- the coins being among the first r. 0O0,000 lire Vatican City issue, minted by the Italian government.
 The cardinals could not be paid all their salaries in the new silver coins because they are all of the nickel denomination, and would be too heavy for the prelates to carry home with them.
 The chants inside Vatican City continue to use Italian coins un- til the new coins are issued in greater volume.
