SEC. HULL'S PRONOUNCEMENTS
ON FRANCE FALL SHORT
Clos Angeles Times)

In the course of a speech which gen
orally may be described as a satisfactory
pronouncement on foreign policy Secre-
tary Hull gave more qualified and less
fortnight approval to the French Ma
tional Committee for Liberation than the
situation seems to call for.
Even though Gen. de Gaulle is repre-
Sented as "pleased' with the portions of
the speech referring to France-however
the dispatch SO representing him came
through censorship at Algiers and is
therefore suspect. particularly since the
AlgierS cenSOrS have made several bob
bles-the recognition seems less gener-
Gus than the French had a right to expect.
In carefully chosen words. Hull said
the committee lis to be given every op
portunity to organize the civil govern
ment of France but added that "of
course. the committee is not the govern
ment of France and we cannot recognize
it as SUCH But it is the only respectable
French government in sight
A state department which could recog
nize Marshal Petain-whOse government
by no stretch of the imagination could
be called the continuation of the Third
Republic. the only regime actually estab

Laval, who plainly was usurper thrust
down French throats.
Gen. de Gaulles popular support can
not be denied to be immensely greater
thar that which even Petain was ever
able to win. If the state department is
still miffed because he seized st. Pierre
and Miouelon without consulting Wash
ington, it is carrying a minor grudge too

Exaggeration"
In Kenny Cure

NEW YORK. April u. (UP) =
The acclaim given the Sister Kenny
treatment fer infantile paralysis
las resulted in "eXaggeration," and
has led to a belief by many that
the method was miraculous
cure" the national foundation for
infantile paralysis said.
The foundation, in a report for
l943, recognized the value of the
method of the treatment devised
by Sitter Elizabeth Kenny, Aus
tralian nurse, but expressed regret
at the unprecedented publicity"
given the system.
This spontaneous popular ac-
claim led to at least one bad re-
suit" the foundation said. 'EXag-
geration occurred. This treatment
became in Tie minds of many a
miraculous cure
The foundation said it had spent
S500,000 in evaluating and testing
the Kenny Method and in training
technicians, doctors, and nurses in
the Kenny procedure.
MINNEAPOLIS. April l2 CUP)-
Sister Elizabeth Kenny, Australian
nurse who devised a treatment for
infantile paralysis, said it has been
admitted that my work in the
year 1943 saved the nation from
national Gisaster."
Sister Kenny said the admission
was made by Basil O'Connor, presi-
dent of the national foundation
for infantile paralysis which said
acclaim for TIE treatment had re-
suited in eXaggeration.
According TO statistics when I
arrived in America, Sister Kenny
said. the percentage CT recovery
was l3 per cent. Since 1 came, and
| knowledge of my work dissent
mated, the percentage of recovery
when the Kenny treatment had
been poorly administered was 10
to 30 per cent when properly ad-
ministered, the percentage of re-
covery was 88 per cent

Acting Commissioner of Internal

Greensboro announced Friday that
the time fo,' filing 1914 decla-a tons

He empha sized that the esti-

80 million persons must file not
later than March Is. Returns on
1943 tax are required by law Of all
taxpayers, regardless of whether or
not tax was withheld from their
wages. Only a limited number of
taxpayers are required to take the
additional step of estimating this
years income, which has now
been POSTPONED until April Is.
Originally, it was intended that
both the 1943 returns and the 1914
declarations would be filed at the
same time. However, the declara-
ton forms were delayed pending
final action on the new revenue
bill.
Commissioner Graves said the
new declaration forms probably
will be distributed late in March,
and the first installment of esti-
mated tax will not be due until
the declaration is filed on or be-
fore April IS.

Negro Given Is Months
For Aiding Delinquency

George Dixon, 38-year-old Negro
wood dealer of 1101 South Seventh
street. was given an 18-month SEN
tence on the county roads by Re-
corder H. Winfield Smith, Friday
morning, for allegedly contributing
to juvenile delinquency and for re
ceiving stolen goods.
Dixon filed notice OF an appeal
to Superior court, and was allowed
bond of $4,000.
David Smoot and Freddie Davis,
15-year-old Negroes, were SAID to
have been paid eight dollars each
for the tires.
ANY man who would buy stolen
goods from juveniles, is certainly
encouraging juvenile delinquency
Judge Smith stated. He added that
any normal man could deduct that
three good tires, without breaks,
offered by underage youths could
not be legitimately obtained today,
when tires are at a premium In
any condition.
Officers of the New Hanover
County BIZ eau of Identification ar
rested the two Negro youths after
obtaining half of a fingerprint from
the stolen goods. It was reported
that they had the stolen goods in
hand before the owners of the prop
erty knew of their loss.
The two juveniles admitted theft
of tires from J. A. Everett, ]. B.
jenkins, and S. S. Browning,
around February /. At this time
