Sister Kenny Cure
Not Miraculous

New York, April II - (U.P0 -
The acclaim given the Sister Ken
ny treatment for Infantile Paralysis
has resulted in refrigeration" and
had led to a belief by many that
the method was a miraculous
cure, the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis said today.
The foundation, in a report Tor
1913, recognized the value of the
method of the treatment devised
by Sister Elizabeth Kenny, Austria
liam nurse, but expressed regret at
the unprecedented publicity" given
the system.
This spontaneous popular &C
claim led to at least one bad re-
suit" the foundation said. "Exag-
geration occurred. This treatment
became in the minds Of many q
miraculous cure"
The foundation said 1t had spent
$500 900 in evaluating and testing
the Kenny method and in training
technicians, doctors and nurses in
the Kenny procedure.

PROBE BECOMES
FOOTBALL GAME
Detectives Now Seeking
"Clues" i'm Case of For
mer SeleCtman StOlfi

Resembling any adroitly football
handling of the Chicago Bears the
investigation of the illegal voting
status of ex-selectman Michael
Stolfi now has been "lateraled' to
Chief Inspector Joseph Bender of
the local detective force who is to
investigate the voting and registra-
ton records Of he town clerks Of
flee, registrar of voters office and
the citizenship files of the clerk of
the Superior court.
The chief detective declined to
comment today other than to state
that his investigation would be "a
matter of two or three days with
the possibility of conclusive find
ing by the end of the week.. This
latter phase of the investigation has
been turned over to the local police
official by city prosecutor Albert
Hummel who has requested the de-
tective departments assistance in
the investigation.
Atty. Hulnmel has stated that
there would be no further informa-
ton on the matter relative to a de-
cision until the investigation is
completed. He stated that the
usual legal procedure would be
adopted If the findings warranted
such move.
The charges against Mr.. Stoli who
resigned as selectman without any
admission of guilt" came about as
result of a report by Republican
registrar of voters Albert o. F'aller
that Mr.. Stolfi had been made a
voter two years prior to his being
made a citizen in 1899. Mr.. Stolfi
has been selectman for the past
few years.
Mr.. Faller's charges came about
from what he termed was IAN ano-
nymous telephone call" received by
him relative to Mr.. Stolfi's status.
Mr.. Faller then referred the mat
ter to the Mayor who turned over
the matter to the city prosecutor.
Mr.. Faller was a member of the
Republican registrars at the time
Mr.. Stolfi allegedly was sworn in
illegally in 1887, as Republican
voter.

Hartford, Conn, April 11-(UP)-
DR.. c. Charles Burlingame, PSYCHE
artist in-chief of the Institute OF
Living, warned today that "the
trend is immutably away from the
lush civilization of the past" ano
that "in the future, the non-profit
endowed institutions. both medical
and educational, will have to fight
for their very lives"
Such institutions, he said in his
120th annual report, faced three
possible developments: They will
become government controlled and
function as government agencies
they will die out because the need
for them Is no longer dem onstrated
or they will be forced to adopt fiscal
policies carried out under strong
leadership to the end of survival AM
sustained growth"
The psychiatrist declared that
"only too often in the past the nom
profit institution has computed It's
costs on basis which sound bust
ness ethics would consider as mis-
representation to stockholders, not
through any idea of deliberate
fraud. but because of the long
standing idea that non-profit in
situations were not constrained to
conduct their affairs along the lines
of business"
He said it was no longer an asset
for a charitable or non-prof1t in
Stitution to run a deficit" and there
would be fewer and fewer angels
to cover deficits.
