HOSPITAL USES KENNY METHOD
 FOR PARALYSIS

Madison. Wis, July l5-(UP)- The famous Kenny treatment for infantile paralysis, recently intro duced into the United States from Australia, is now administered in a special ward in the orthopedic d. vision of the Wisconsin General hospital.
 The treatment was devised 30 years ago in the Australian bush country by Sister Elizabeth Kenny (chief nurses are called sister" by the British. It is not cure-all but 1t has been successful in a large number of cases in preventing per- manent crippling as an after effect of infantile paralysis.
 Water, heat, blankets and mas sage complete the formula that now spells hope to victims of the dread disease that refuses to divuIge its secret to students of pathology. Treatment requires no elaborate equipment and the Wisconsin Gen. eral hospital ingeniously has met its simple needs.
 Muscles Used Quickly
 Two washing machines, fitted with heating units, are used to steam and wiring out blanket strips called "foments," which are applied | to the victims limbs. The steaming packs are renewed every two hours until the pain subsidies. Trained physiotherapists then massage the affected parts and encourage the patient to exercise the muscles. complete recovery with no crip- bling or deformity often takes place in four to six weeks.
 For best results, the patient must begin treatment within a short time after diagnosis, preferably within a few hours.
 The major difference between the Kenny treatment and the methods commonly used In American hos pitals is that the former requires immediate use of the muscles. There is no immobilization period or any use of splints or braces. The treatment is shorter than older methods, and, according to pre- liminary report by an American Medical association committee, four out of five patients who began treatment within two weeks after being stricken recovered in from four to six weeks with no traces of crippling.
 Trains Nurses
 Sister Kenny introduced the treatment in the United States in 194O and, has been assisted by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and the Minnesota Foun- dation in establishing a training center for American nurses at the University of Minnesota.
 With funds donated by the Man. chester family of Madison, the Wis consin General hospital sent its chief physiotherapist to the Uni- versity of Minnesota last winter for a three-months course under Sister Kenny.

An attempt by local landlord to frighten his tenants into paying rent higher than the legal maximum has been frustrated, it is reported by Sidney s. Cassel, chief rent at- torney for the Waterbury area rent control office.
 When tenants offered him rent at the rate prevailing April 1, 1941, the landlord was unwilling to accept it. Later he informed tenants that he would move into their premises him. self unless they paid higher rate, though getting a receipt only for the lesser amount.
 One of the tenants, suspicious, went to the OPA office, and investi- gation disclosed that the landlord had tried the same scheme on other tenants. He has since agreed to re- duce his rents to the legal maxi mum,

MILITARY EXPERT JOHNSON SEES IT AS "Our War, To Equip, Fight---And Lead''

| But American officers, while approaching the British not only for their splendid courage and their loyalty as Allies, see sound military reasons for a less defen- sive attitude.
 They believe aggressiveness now may prove essential to avoid pro- longing the war to Heaven knows what end. The strain on Russia may become so terrific that it can be reieved only by that desperate undertaking, landing on the con- tinent of forces strong enough to divert substantial German strength, notably aircraft and tanks. Should the risk not have to be taken, the preparations now under way in Britain will be useful next spring.
 For Britain Is the place. Invading Italy in force is well-nigh impos- sible with the Egyptian base 1900 miles from Itatly and many hun dreds more from New York. Britain not only affords the bases, indus tries, airfields, it is only three thou sand miles from New York and twenty-one miles from France.
 It's perilous leap, that could be taken by only fraction of Britain s famous army of -four million idle men," Half are guerrilla Home Guards, and part of the rest must be held out of an invasion.
 BRITISH PUBLIC EAGER
 TO GET GOING
 British Navy and industries make demands on her 100000 people approximately greater than our 130, 0,O00, 900 must meet; and we have more of the automotive mechanics needed for modern warfare. Still, if any second front is opened this summer, Britain stands the grief.
 British public opinion favors paying the price, and British brasshats admit that Hitler's prog ress against RusA!a and in Libya makes it cheaper by drawing his masses of maneuver farther from that second front. But nobody ex- poets this Invasion" to win the war this summer. All 1t need do is draw back again westward enough NaN strength to save the Russian armies from being crurshed or los- ing their oil supply this summer. Then the war is won.
 Also such an invasion may avert tre Japanese invasion of Siberia that some we'll informed Ameri- cans believe impends.. They think the Japanese will launch 1t the instant the Russians really crack This would demand of us at least help in defending Russia's Asiatic submarine and air bases which are a far shorter route to the heart of Japan than the Chinese air bases.
 But those, too, we must help China hold. Either way, Asia calls for more American sacrifice, entailing more responsibility and authority.
 CAN'T SEE U. s.
 "ADMIRALISSIMO"
 But if the British stand the grief this summer, they may with utter fairness insist upon being chief mourner = commanding the inva- sion force. Then, this winter, as American forces increased, an American Generalissimo who had been learning, might take, over for the spring campaign on land.
 British consent is more likely because, while by 1943 our Navy clearly will be stronger than theirs, they are more likely to insist that in the Atlantic at least, Britannia still rule the waves. Britain may consent to an American Generalissimo, but as for an American Admiralissimo- o- the idea sounds as grotesque as the word.

 Protect the cars upholstery against dirt and moths. Two to three pounds of paradichlorobenzene or naphthalene (moth balls) scat tered over the cushions and in the cracks of the upholstery, will give adequate protection against moths. The car doors and windows should be closed tightly, and the supply of moth balls renewed from time to time.
 If the car is equipped with a radio, it may be worth while, espe- cially in damp climates, to remove and store it in dry place. Finally, a dust-cover of heavy paper or cloth should be place over the car, particularly if stored where sun can fade the paint or uphol- stery.

By THOMAS M. JOHNSON NEA Service Military Writer

Washington, July l6-Make no mistake about it, this is OUR war. It will become increasingly so, and we must not only equip 1t, but fight it-and lead 1t.
 The fact is that British, Russian and Chinese reverses have demand ed from us-unexpectedly soon and in increasing Quantity-American equipment and manpower, and that means American leadership.
 Already we are virtually leading in the Pacific theater, and inter- esting developments in the Atlantic are foreshadowed. The need fre- quently stressed in these despatcheS, for a unified American command over all our land, sea and air forces may be recognized.
 AMERICANS MAY LEAD
 CONTINENTAL INVASION
 Admiral King or Admiral Leahy may be appointed nominally the Presidents military advisor, but actually commander-in-chief of operations that are still predomi- nantly naval. But the growing importance of our numerous A. E.. F.,s causes talk for further changes.
 The A. E. F. in Europe alone may by 1943 equal or exceed the two million men of 1918; the Invasion of the continent" may eventually become largely an American in- vasion. The Army is raising its sights to bull's-eye of seven mill lion men, the largest and strong est land and air force of the United Nations. It is also squinting at the idea of an eventual American ccmmander-in-ch for all Eu- rope save Russia-an Army man. AMERICANS BEARISH
 ON BRITISH LEADERSHIP
 Both General MacArthur and General Marshall are persona gratat with President Roosevelt and he may send the aggressive Macarthur to Europe and keep Marshalls organizing talent at the home. base. But Marshall's cool reasonableness has inspired some British leaders to feel that if they must be commanded by an American, he is the man.

 Of 100 departments in the main plant, B have recorded 100 per cent participation in the payroll plan. In 45 other departments the 90 per cent mark has been passed.
 Emphasis is now being placed on efforts to have all those taking part in the payroll deduction plan agree to invest at least 10 per cent of their earnings each week in war bonds.
