PRESENCE OF
PARALYSIS IN
VINO IS DENIED
Press Associations Help to
Correct Reports in
Other States

Indications today were that the
state board of health, press asso-
Citations and other agencies were
cooperating in the effort to cor
rect the impression said to be pre-
valent in Florida and other states
that infantile paralysis is epide-
mic throughout North Carolina.
Press stories have been sent
out directing attention to the
fact that cases of the diseases are
confined almost wholly to few
eastern counties, and that pros
pective tourists planning trips 10
the mountains need not change
their plans and that parents wish
ing to send their children to
Western North Carolina camps
will be mourning little, if any risk
in so doing. One press assocla-
ton today cleared up an errone-
Gus report that had reached a
father in Springfield, O., who
had wired to ask whether there
were any infantile paralysis cases
in Henderson. The association re-
piled that there were several
cases there, meaning the city OF
Henderson, but it later developed
that the Springfield man had ref
erence to Henderson county, and
today he wired DR.: John Wood
cock, county health officer, con.
corning conflicting reports. The
Times-News then talked with the
the Charlotte bureau of the press
association, and message cor
recting the error was sent out.

The st. Paul Daily News and Il

rocked the city's police depart

firmly-imbedded traditions in q
startling condemnation of the sys-
tenn that allowed six major kid
napings in three years and made
st. Paul the "crime capital of the

Commissioner H. E. Warren
credited Daily News investigators,
employed by the militant editor,
Howard Kahn, with bringing about
the fall of the dynasty founded by
Police Chief John J. O'Connor, 30

Caught in the crash was Mike
Culligan, present police chief, who
was suspended for 80 days, pend

Four of Culligan's men were
ordered to resign and four more

The traditions upset were those
installed by ,O'Connor during his

Relief On July |

GREENVILLE, S. c., June 25.
(UP)-Gov. DIN d. Johnston
told the State Federation of La
Dor convention here yesterday
that no direct relief would be CIV
en- to strikers after July 1.
The only way strikers might re-
ceive aid from federal funds
would be to get jobs on federal
work projects, Johnston said. He
added that it would be difficult
for anyone not on relief rolls
now to get on should they strike.
The governor advised the La
Dor Federation members to settle
any differences that might arise
with employers by arbitration to
save themselves "time, trouble

Coupled with this move is a

would be to safeguard against

counter.
The joint resolution was to have
been brought up for action in the

widespread destruction.
As the meandering Republican
river returned TO Its banks along
Its 200-mile course IL Nebraska. the
junction Of the North and South
Platte rivers was viewed as q pos
sible danger point in the western
part OF that state.
In northern Kansas, the Repubh-
can river was receding, but the Kaw
was forcing families to flee as its
muddy waters rolled eastward. The
Missouri River-the big muddy
covered thousands OF acres Of farm
land and crews Of laborerS struggled
TO maintain strategic leveeS along
Its 400-mile course between Kansas
City and St. Louis.
In addition, numerous smaller
streams were out OF their banks IN
all three states.
The death toll was not known. An
Associated Press survey showed "a
u~nofficially listed as dead in Ne
braska, but State Senator w. G. Bull
lard of that state estimated the
total at l40. Scores still are missing.
Eight deaths have been recorded
IN Kansas and three in Missouri.
Extent of the property damage
likewise Is unknown. The property
loss in Nebraska has been placed at
Sll 100000 in addition to 100000 In
damage to highways and bridges. The
total loss in Kansas was placed at
100000. half OF which was TO high
WAYS. Missouri's estimate was up
wards Of 100000.
An incomplete survey by the REQ
CroS showed 1.400 families had been
left homeless by floods in Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado, the state held
in the grip Of high waters last week.

er came to a standstill at North
