'InfantiIe Foundation
Gives S5OQ,00O Aid
To Kenny Treatment

Although taking issue with those
who contend that the Kenny
method of treating victims of in
fantile paralysis insures complete
cure. Basil OConnor, president of
the National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis, Inc, has pledged the
foundations continued support for
/ the method in treating victims of
the disease
Mr.. O'Connor called the Kenny
method. devised by Sister Kenny
the Australian nurse, very real
contribution in the treatment of
victims stricken by the disease, a
method that in the opinion of many
American doctors reduces the Grip
pling after effects of the disease.
However, he said it was not a
|cure-all. There is no cure for this
Gripping disease and Sister Kenny
makes no such claim" he declared
Devised 30 Years Ago.
The treatment was devised by
Sister Kenny about 80 years ago.
Instead of immobilizing the pa
tents paralyzed limbs in casts or
splints, she worked out a method
of easing the pain and tightness in
the muscles by frequent applica-
tions of heat. AS the pain sub
sided she followed this with passive
exercises until the patient himself
could move his limbs. Sister Kenny
felt that in many cases this treat
ment had prevented the Gripping
after-effects of the disease.

STILWELL REMOVED

has served often in the East, in
China when American troops were
garrisoned there and in the Philip.
pines This military experience,
coupled with his intimate knowl-
edge OF the geography, peoples and
economy of Asia, tended to give
him priority for the Pacific theater.
While Stilwell's tours of duty in
the Philippines would give him ex-
cellent background for an assign
ment in that recently opened thea
ter the Philippine campaign al
ready is under command of a man
of equal rank, Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur.
Looking Ahead?
This raised the possibility that
Washington is looking h d to
using Stilwell elsewhere in the vast
Pacific war zone. The victory over
the japanese navy, coupled with
the long westward leap Of Mac
Arthur's forces to the Philippines,
has brought into sharp focus the
likelihood Of an American move to
seize a foothold on the eastern
coast of China.
The setbacks encountered in Chi
ma by Chiang's forces and the slow
northward progress to reopen the
Burma road connection with China
also give urgent reasons for
beach head on the China coast.
Such new operation, it was
suggested in circles outside the War
department, might come under the
command of Stilwell, with MacAr-
thur continuing in the Philippines.
If the move is one aimed at
putting Stilwell in command of
forces which eventually will invade
China or Japan proper, this is not
Interpreted as meaning that the in
vasion would come soon. No secret
has been made here of belief
in military circles that such large
scale effort would have to await
the end of the war in Europe and
a transfer of men and materiel.
The American oint command
here has been seeking revision
of the China Burma-India organiza-
ton since before the Roosevelt
Churchill conference at Quebec
more than a year ago.
The triple post Stilwell held has
been regarded in some circles as
an impossibly complicated assign
ment.
The break up probably was de-
cided on by President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill at
the recent Quebec conference in
preparation for the final develop
ments of the war in that area.
That program calls for British am
phibious operations from India
against the Dutch East Indies and
Singapore.
The speculation on a rebuke for
Chang took most of its support
from reports in recent weeks, clear
ed through military censorship in
China, of dissension within the gen.
eralissimo's regime and accom-
panying difficulties in military op-
erations.
The security of American air.
fields in China, including both those
for the 18th air force and the B.
20 superfortresses, has depended
almost entirely on the efforts OF
Chiang's ground forces.
