Before relief was brought to the lost
battalion, 43 men had been killed and
DOT wounded. OF the latter, some died
before help could be brought to them.
But they had piled up 400 Japanese
dead around the perimeter of the hill
and they blocked the japanese REIN
forcements.
The story was stold by Maj. John M.
Jones Of Greenville, Tenn, who was with
the rescuing battalion and despite con-
tinuous fighting managed to keep .

Five.man Polio Committee.
The patient placed under the general
supervision Of the staff at Childrens,
however, Is not necessarily handled by
one doctor. Knowing that many points
of view exist on the treatment for polio,
the hospital has appointed fve-man
Polio Committee which represents all
the points of view. There is q noted
orthopedic surgeon, DR.. Frank Hand,
who has charge of the Kiwanis Clubs
orthopedic clinic for crippled children
at the hospital. DR.. Richard S. Todd,
pediatrician and medical director of the
hospital wards, was sent by the District
Foundation for study under Sister
Kenny at her institute in Minneapolis,
MINI.
Three more pediatricians make up the
balance of the committee. DR.. p. A.
McLendon, chairman of the committee,
characterizes himself as middle Of
the roader" about many types of med
ical treatment. including those sug-
gested for polio.
DR.. Joseph S. Wall, chief Of staff Of
Children's and member of the COM
mittee, declared as his point Of view:

piled, II don't know what your service
Is but you've got an awful nerve to come
In here with it." Still he put the boy in
the chair and listened to Gibson's story
as he worked. Gibson's been back with
other men since then.
Slight, unassuming, you still know by
looking at Gibson that nothing is too
much trouble or takes too much time
for him to run it to the ground.
"A doctor who had rejected q young
man for psychiatric reasons must have
sensed that when Gibson walked in with
the boy and demanded to see the case
history. The boy, whose mother had
died when he was very young, and
whose father was an invalid, had had
an extraordinarily sheltered, and physi-
logically ignorant upbringing. Through
both shyness and respect he had put
girls on pedestal, didn't date and
frankly didn't understand some Of the
psychiatrist's probing questions. The
psychiatrist misunderstood the boys
ignorance, and rejected him.
Case Histories
Gibson got the case history, pointed out
that til boy had been married &nce
then. that the doctors judgment had
been hasty and advised him to re-
examine the boy. He IS now pilot

japanese force was moving northward
to relieve the trapped force at Shaduzup,

Marauders were ordered to march
through the jungle eastward to head

Along the narrow gorge Of the Hkama

the river, wading waist deep much Of

They reached little place called

not-has made the physician re-eval-

said. This denomination cannot help
but be valuable to both doctor and
patient, he believes.
Strict Impartiality.
The position of the District Chapter
of the National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis has been one of strict
impartiality toward all methods.
'It 1t immaterial to us what kind of
treatment we pay for, as long as 1t is
prescribed by the doctor" Miss Fay L.
Bentley, Judge of the Juvenile Court
and chairman of the chapter, said.

public and its doctors wish.
Whatever the method Of treatment
prescribed, whoever prescribes it, and
however severe the attack was, doctors
agree, the tow-headed boy and the other
polio victims will need careful checkups
for months and perhaps years after.
Maybe one, maybe two, maybe three
years." DR.. Wall said, patients will be
followed carefully in the Childrens
Hospital clinic. We have stated it with
both orthopedic and pedriatic special
lists so that the children will have bene-
fit Of their combined opinions"

cess will depend on the parents diligence
in bringing their children In for con-
sultation.
I'VE can't cure them If we don't see
them" he said
Gallinger Hospital too has established
separate clinic for checking polio pa
tients at $50 am. each Friday, DR..
Robert Hightower. director Of the Grip
pied childrens clinic, Is in charge.
Asked what type Of treatment he would
emphasize, Dr.. Hightower replied:
Follow-up Clinic.
Our cases will have to be followed
for at least six months and perhaps
much longer to protect the re-education
OF the muscles" he said. "All the treat
ments are for the same purpose There
fore their use will be dependent on the
individual situation"
The follow-up on the private patient
Is for his physician to decide. The
doctor may-some Of them already have
refer his patient to the clinic ut Chill
dren's. Those able to pay will be re-.
quired to do 50, the hospital stan said.
Typical Morning
A typical morning at the clinic in
cluded examination Of three "nonpar-
alytic cases. to make sure no trouble
had developed since discharge. DR.. Todd
asked each youhgster, for example, to
stand first on his toes, then on his
heels; to walk; to bend over and touch
his toes.
To the lay observer the children
seemed to walk normally, to be as Wig
orous as most children. But the doctor
exercised care above that which seemed
adequate to the layman. He told the
mother to set up her childs living
quarters on the first floor, and allow
him to walk only to the dinner table
and out to the porch to sit in the sun.
No school till February, he warned.
Each mother was given an appointment
to come back in two or three weeks.
Combined Treatments.
Another child. a 7-year -old boy treated
first with Prostigmine. is brought in for
advice on relief of stiffness In his back.
Both Mr.. Todd and DR.. Hand examined
him. They agreed he should have rest
at home with application of hot packs
by his mother. She came in the next
day to learn the method from one of
the nurses. The pack consists of three
thicknesses, she learned, all cut exactly
to At each portion of the body. They
are applied In rigid order: First the
thighs, the back, abdomen, shoulders,
neck, arms, legs, hands and feet.
Work of the Foundation
In the crowded ward. at both Chill
dren's and Gallinger nurses work full
time around the clock applying the
packs when prescribed. The founda-
ton has paid for employment of A
nurses for polio patients at Childrens
and for % nurses and Is aides at Gal
linger Whether the foundation will
be supporting the clinic at Children's,
or whether other means OF financial
support will be used, has not yet been
determined.
In any case, II the parents of the
tow-headed boy bring him to these
clinics they need not fear that preju-
dice against any of several forms OF
treatment win deprive their boy Of pos
sible recovery. In the words of DR.. wall,
to insure that the boy rides his bicycle
again, "We believe in utilizing any
method of treatment that has value"
