More Paralysis
Cases Reported

Development of another infantile
paralysis case in Elma was re-
ported by health officials Satur-
day. as three more patients were
revealed under care for active
poliomyelitis.
Eight-year-old Janet Swenson,
Elma, was admitted TO the paraly-
sis ward Of the Pierce County
hospital Friday. Her entry was
close behind that of Richard An
derson, u, son of an Elma physi-
clan. The boy was placed in an
iron lung, but the girl was in no
immediate danger of requiring
lung therapy, attendants stated.
Two others were listed as paral-
ysis victims. Bengt Erickson. 20.
Rt. 5. Box log. Puyallup. and
James Hommel. 6. Of COS Ea. Har-
rison st. were under observation.
The Hommel boy was the most
seriously afflicted Of the three,
and was being closely watched as
a possible iron lung case, physi-
clans said.

Plan Program for
State Officials

SEATTLE - Preliminary steps
were taken today at the Washing
ton Athletic club in selecting a
representative committee to ar
range the entertainment program
for the 26th annual convention of
the American Association of High
way officials to be held in Seattle,
Sept. 1919, inclusive. Headquar-
ters and all business sessions will
be held at the Olympic hotel
This committee will work with
representatives of the state high
way departments of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho, who are hosts
to this national convention of rec
ognized leaders in highway build
ing throughout the nation.
More than 400 reservations, rep
resenting 81 states from outstand-
ing national and state highway
officials and their families have
already been received.

AS registration for the Sept. 10
primary election elsewhere in the
state appeared headed for an all
time high. Tacoma registration
officials were swamped in the last
minute surge Saturday.
City Clerk Genevieve Martin and
her assistants worked feverishly to
register voters who arrived early
in the morning and formed a line
that extended through two floors
of the city hall. An estimated $50
to 800 would-be registrants were
on hand at one time.
The clerk said the numbers
registered in the past few days
ran into the thousands. but that
even an estimate of the local count
would be impossible because of the
large number who waited until the
"last minute"
Seattle reported enrolment Of
200. $50. A previous record set
two years ago was $4,000.

Opening Of congressional offices

secretarial assistants. Eleanor NJ.

coma Is remaining in the national
capital to assist the congressman.
In a formal statement today.
Coffee said: Increasing import
ance of Tacoma and surrounding
area as a national defense center
makes II advisable for me TO have
an office in Tacoma through which
many problems concerning defense
developments can be cleared
There are many pending projects
related to defense expansion in the
sixth congressional district receiv-
ing my active attention here in
the national capital. Much of
the information and data neces-
sary for my use when dealing with
the national defense commission,
army and navy officials, can be
more quickly obtained through the
cooperation Of my Tacoma secre-
tsrial staff with local civic, city,
county and state officers.
THE fine cooperation I am con-
tinuing to receive from community
organizations and comm cial
groups has been responsible in
large measure for the vast num-
Der of federal projects that have
been brought to Tacoma during
the last three. and half years. I
am confident that Tacoma will
continue to receive increased fed
eral recognition, both as regards
defense projects and other nom
military programs.
"Officials of the procurement
division of the treasury depart
ment have recently told me that
the interior design plans for the
new Tacoma federal building are
now progressing rapidly after q
temporary delay caused by full
time occupation of federal archi-
tects with emergency defense
projects. AS soon as the interior
plans are finished. bids will be adj

Huge Navy Building Program
For Puget Sound Expected

Tacoma's hope for participation
in an alleged 2oo-million dollar
naval shipbuilding program for
Puget Sound lies in an undisclosed
number of auxiliary vessels.
Seattle construction circles Sat
urday were agog over word from
Rep. Warren G. Magnuson, that
the navy department and U. s.
maritime commission have planned
the huge project.
Plans were said to include the
building of 26 destroyers in Puget
Sound yards.
shipbuilding officials reserved
their enthusiasm, however. with
the comment that the program
was only ION paper" at the mo-
ment, and that nothing was defin-
lite until the appropriation was

lars of available funds secured
after much effort during the cur
rent session of congress. with
which to proceed on vast renovat-
ing and construction program as
soon as land acquisition problems
have been worked out with the
Puyallup tribe, which now owns
the hospital site.
The national guard concentra-
tons at Fort Lewis and Camp
Murray have received great deal
of publicity in eastern newspapers.
This is due to the growing inn
portance of Fort Lewis and the
newly dedicated McChord field as
vital Northwest defense centers
whose value has been increased
because of their quick access to
Bremerton navy yard via the Mar
rows bridge"
Secretary Olson stated, "Con-
gresham Coffee does not expect
to leave his duties at the national
capital while congress is in ses-
sion in order to conduct his re-
election campaign"
