SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 26-The
loss of salt and water from the
human system through heat ana
exertion may make person more
susceptible to infantile paralysis at
tack, say researches at the Uni
versity of California Medical
School.
Thirty individuals, mostly chill
dren were tested during the cpl
demic in the western states last
year. In the early stages of illness
the salt and water content of their
blood was low. Two weeks later,
after the illness had subsidized, IA
of them remained for further tests,
and nearly all showed sharp in
creases in salt and water concen.
trations.
James F. Rinehart, M. D, pro-
lessor of Pathology, who made. the
report, said the evidence was not
conclusive but that it, together with
other factors, pointed to relation
ship between salt and water de-
ficiency and susceptibility to polio
myelitis.
Among the other factors he cited
were the reports of other investi.
gators that:

Co The number of cases rises
during prolonged warm weather,

seem to contract the disease more
readily than delicate or inactive

fact that strenuous work or play in

in both the volume and style of his
speech.
The admiral grows quieter and
calmer as the situation confronting
him gets tighter and tougher. He
rarely uses profanity. Admiral
Wilkinson almost literally was born
into a Navy career. His birthplace
was Annapolis, site of the Naval
Academy. Appointed from Louisi-
ana, he was graduated in 1909,
standing first in his class. He is a
resident of Rosslyn, Va.
Admiral Wilkinson also distin-
guished himself at Annapolis by
organizing the academy's first inter-
collegiate tennis team. The admiral
still is an enthusiastic and COM
petent tennis player. At fleet head
quarters he plays at every rare
chance he has.

Wilkinson Won Medal Of Honor
For Ambitious Action in 1914
Commander in Pacific
Took Part as Ensign
At Vera Cruz Lending
By LEFT ERICKSON.

Associated Press War Correspondent
ABOARD JOINT EXPEDITION
AIRY FORCE FLAGSHIP OFF
PALAU, Sept. 23.-Big, red-headed
Vice Admiral Theodore Stark VIII
tnson, 3rd Fleet amphibious COM
handler directing the invasion Of
Palau, won the Congressional Medal
Of Honor as an ensign in his first
amphibious action 80 years ago.
That was at Vera Cruz in April,
1914, during an informal but hot
loaded unpleasantness with Mexico.
Ensign Wilkinson led company of
sailors In the landing force sent
ashore In whaleboats from the bat
tleship Florida to seize the Vera
Cruz customs house.
The action, undertaken without
official declaration Of hostilities,
lasted two days and constituted Ad-
miral Wilkinson's full experience in
amphibious warfare until he became
South Pacific amphibious COM
mander under Admiral William F.
Halsey in July, 1913.
THE Mexican garrison was sur
prised, and we weren't shot at going
in our boats" said Admiral Wilkin-
son. $50 it wasn't like an amphib-
ious operation as we know it in this
war.
But once we were ashore, the
Mexican garrison gave us a very
brisk time"
Succeeded Admiral Turner.
Admiral Wilkinson succeeded Vice
Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner as
commander of South Pacific landing
operations. In that theater he di-
rected the invasions of Vella Lavella,
the Treasury Islands. Bougainville,
Green Island and Emirau. These
operations achieved complete neu-
tralization of the Japanese strong
holds of Rabaul on New Britain and
Kavieng on New Ireland.
Admiral Wilkinson's landing &C.
ton experience at Vera Cruz had
nothing at all to do with shaping
his present amphibious command
assignment.
The admiral says he's an am
phibious commander because of
availability and circumstance" In
the latter months OF 1912 Admiral
Wilkinson was rear admiral COM
manding battleship division. In
January, 1943, he was sent to New
Caledonia to become deputy South
Pacific commander under Admiral
Halsey. His assignment was an
organizer.
When Admiral Turner was called
to the Central Pacific to plan the
Gilberts invasion Admiral Halsey
had to find new amphibious boss.
Looking around for the man, Ad-
miral Halsey saw Admiral Wilkin-
son in the Office next to his.
Wilkinson Is IS.
Admiral Wilkinson now is IS, big
bodied and salty-faced, he should

Admiral wilkinson Is quick and
generous with credit and slow with
cenSure.
When the admiral was awarded
the Distinguished Service Medal for
the South Pacific landing opera
lions that "culninated In breaking
the last remaining stronghold OF
the japanese in the British solomon
Islands," Admiral Wilkinson told
his stan they had earned him the
medal. He said they really did the
work but he got the citation.

What Do You Know?

The inclination of OUT people to square up their old inStalment debts and to pay as they go is a significant change in human affairs Some of the best author ities seem to think that a great many people with good incomes are feather ing their nests" because of the uncertain ties of the future.
 On the other hand there is a theory that many individuals are building up large savings during war time and that when peace arrives they will play safe and keep most of their cash but use the advantage of the old-time system of in- stalment credit to buy automobiles, household furniture, electrical devices, and new houses.
 Entirely reliable figures show that the consumer credit of the American nation dropped from $9 ,499 100000 at the end of 1941 to $4,674, 100000 at the present time, decline of 51 per cent. At the end of 1941 the instalment credit in the country was $5,921 100000 and that in- stalment debt has now been reduced to $1,785, 100000.
