Sept. ia navy communique said
today that the missing 7,322-ton
Netherlands motorship Kota Nopan
presumably was the victim of a
German raider near the Galapagos
Islands while enroute to the United
States. The fate of its crew was

Stating the vessel was overdue, the

Cases Of Paralysis
Drop With Arrival
OF Cool Weather
Public Health Officers
Report Sharp Decline
In Disease Locally

Continued cool weather such as
this area has had for two days nor
mally would bring about sharp de-
crease in the incidence of polio
myelitis, public health officers be-
lieve.
No new cases of the disease have
been reported since Tuesday, al
though case which has nearly re-
covered and which was first noted
on August II was added to the three
previously listed in Alexandra, Va
The last Maryland case was re-
ported in Prince Georges County
Tuesday.
Infantile paralysis throughout
Maryland appeared on the wane
with a weeks noticeable slackening
climaxed by the first day in two
months in which no cases were re-
ported. the State Health Depart
ment at Baltimore said yesterday.
So far, $50 cases have been reported
in Maryland while slightly more
than a third of that number have
been reported throughout Virginia.
Health officers declare that pro-
longed cool weather, preferably
frost, will bring an almost complete
halt to the disease, according to
patterns of poliomyelitis incidence
in previous years. Isolated cases do
occur at any time of the year, how
ever.
The Weather Bureau said that
conditions such as have prevailed
during the past two weeks will con-
tinue until Sunday, when it is eX-
pected the temperature will rise.
Such weather as this area is now ex-
periencing must prevail for several
weeks before definite decline in
the occurance of poliomyelitis is
noted, health officers declared.
The Weather Bureau said such
cool weather normally sets in for
good" about the 1st of October.
A system of county isolation wards
for treatment of infantile paralysis
victims was suggested, meanwhile,
by DR.. G. H. Halliday, chief epi-
demiologist of the Maryland Health
Department.
DR.. Halliday said that If such iso-
lation wards could be established at
strategic points poliomyelitis suf-
ferers could be spared long ambu-
lance rides to hospitals.

He suggested that isolation wards
could be set up in the counties by

be stated by State Health Depart
r1ent nurses and physicians and the
patients treated near their homes.
