Two District Bills
Signed BY President
Aid to Children, Code
Advertising Approved

The White House announced to-
day that President Roosevelt had
signed two District bills, including
one to provide more adequately fol
the home care of dependent chill
dren and meet the requirements oi
the Social Security Board.
The legislation defines eligibility
for home care in terms of social
security legislation through which
federally matched payments are OBJ
tanned, permits the inclusion in the
grant OF an incapacitated father who
lives with his family and determines
eligibility for aid on the residence
of the child instead of the parent
1t also permits assistance to chill
dren 16 and II years of age and re-
moves from a standing committee
OF the Board of Public Welfare the
necessity of reviewing each case,
Similar legislation is said to have
been adopted by most States and
the proposal had the approval of the
Commissioners.
The other bill signed permits the
Minimum Wage and Industrial
Safety Board to advertise the availa-
bility of copies of codes at its public
offices, rather than to require pub

BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

CHICAGO, June 15.--A charge
that the public and many doctors
have been misled by publicity about
the infantile paralysis treatment of
Sister Elizabeth Kenny, famous Aus
tralian nurse, was made to the
American Medical Association here
today in report by seven university
professors, all physicians.
They also said they acknowledge
that the Kenny publicity has stimu-
lated the medical profession to more
effective treatment.
The seven were appointed two
years ago this June to evaluate the
Kenny treatment by the orthopedic
section of the association and by the
American Academy of Orthopedic
Surgeons and the American Ortho-
pedic Association.
There is no evidence" the report
said, that the Kenny treatment
prevents or decreases the amount
of paralysis. We criticize severely
the oft-repeated statement of Miss
IAClllly W JdCleilIS WllO nave COIIlG
to her after treatment elsewhere,
that had this case come to her early
the disability would have been pre-
vented. Such statements are not
founded on facts.
Say Factor is Unccmsidered.
Spontaneous recovery in polio
myelitis occurs in many cases. Re-
ports in the medical literature indi-
cate that this varies in different
epidemics from SO to 80 per cent.
We have seen many patients re-
ceiving the Kenny treatment who
showed no muscle involvment at any
time, yet she assumes credit for their
satisfactory results and does not take
into account the factor of spontane-
Gus recovery"
In another place. the report said:

that under orthodox treatment

Hearings Open
Today on D. {.
Appropriations
Commissioners Called
As First Witnesses
Before Senate Group

The Commissioners were the first
witnesses to be heard by the District
Subcommittee of the Senate Appro-
priationS Committee as it started
hearings today on the S68, 500. 900
local appropriation bill for the year
beginning July |. Chairman
OMahoney was presiding.
Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana, former chairman of the
subcommittee, has been considering
the advisability of proposing some
increase in the $6,000,000 annual
Federal payment toward the upkeep
of the District because of the in
creasing quantities of water being
furnished free to Government build
ings and the extent of other NUM-
cipal services now being furnished
national agencies.
The Senators also had before them
supplemental estimates amounting
to $368,835 submitted by the Budget
Bureau after the bill passed the
House. Included in these last-min-
ute requests are:
A 100000 item for purchase of
three acres of land near the Colum-
bia Institution for the Deaf in the
Northeast as site for the proposed
new receiving home for children.
This is new proposal, taking the
place of earlier plans to erect the
receiving home on land already
owned by the District A previous
appropriation of $121 300, made in
1912, for the building is to be re-
turned to the Treasury, and a new
estimate will be submitted to Con-
gress later in the year to cover plans
for building on the new site.
A $4,000 item to acquire land in
the vicinity of the District Training
School, near Laurel, Md, as site
for the proposed new National
Training School for Girls.
This also represents change in
plans from last year, when a loca-
ton in Southern Maryland was
under consideration. The $4,000
appropriated at that time is to be
continued available with the new
money. The Commissioners already
have $4,000 to erect temporary
buildings when the new site has been
acquired.
Another item on the list is $4,000
for stabilization and drainage of the
grounds at the Young Elementary
School, Browne Junior High and
Phelps Vocational Schools.
There are several smaller items to
be considered for additional to the
House bill, including $66,184 for
Gallinger Hospital.
The Senate hearings are expected
to be brief in view of the short
time remaining before the end of
the fiscal year, June 30.

ANA Reports Public Is MisIed
On Kenny PARALYSIS Treatment

covered without paralysis, while
under her treatment over 80 per cent
recover. Miss Kenny's state
ment of 80 per cent recovery under
her treatment has not been sup
ported by accurate statistics in a
significant number of cases.
The figure on orthodox treat
ment is taken from an article which
dealt entirely with severely -paralyzed
patients. Miss Kenny has been told
repeatedly that this is not a fair
comparison to make and that, If
every case in an epidemic is included
in the statistics, recovery of from
10 to 80 per cent can be expected
from orthodox treatment. Miss
Kenny made this inaccurate COM
parison as late as May, 1914.
Some people using the Kenny
treatment believe that paralysis can
be prevented when treatment is
started early enough; that is, prior
to the onset of paralysis. We have
seen enough cases, however, In which
the Kenny treatment was instituted
very early to be convinced that this
does not prevent or even minimize
the degree Of permanent paral-
ysis. +*"

duce the man who succeeded in re-
minding the Nation that Infantry
is the Queen of Battle"
He is Col. Waine Archer, head of
the information section of the AGF
headquarters, located at the War
College.
You have all realized the recent
increased Importance and increased
appreciation of infantry in the press
and on the RADIO" Gen. McNair
said.
This didn't just happen. 1t has
been largely due to the clever work
of a man I want you to meet, Col.
Archer"
Editors Anxious to Cooperate.
Col. Archer said after the cere-
mony that his most effective work
had been series of personal calls
on the editors of the press associa-
tions and leading magazines.
They realized the situation and
they were anxious to cooperate"
he said. The situation" as Col.
Archer put it, was that infantrymen
in combat zones were getting letters
from home telling them what won-
derful work the air forces were do
ing. ,.- -
ut was not yet morale problem. :"
he said, "but 1t was. threatening to
become one"
Veterans Get New Badges.
Gen. McNair awarded the new
Combat Infantryman Badges "for
exemplary conduct in battle" to four
veterans of overseas campaigns who
now are attached to his headquar-
ters.
One of them was Pvt. Charles E.
Hudson, a solid, curly-haired young
man of stable proportions, whose
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond
Hudson, live at 1926 Robinson street
NV. y
$50 you were at Guadalcanal,'
said Gen. McNalr, noticing the Pur-
pie Heart and campaign ribbons.
We'll, they didn't take you down
much. Congratulations, I'm very
proud of YOU
The others were Sergt. Peter
Mandziuk of Hartford, Conn, and
Pvt. Charles E. Shoemaker of
Hooven Ohio, both veterans of
Guadalcanal, and Pvt. Louis Raybin
of Brooklyn, a veteran of Tunisia.

sentative Weiss. Democrat, of Penn
sylvania urged enactment of his
legislation to give so per cent pay
increase to soldiers engaging in
combat.
"In every war, including the pres

are always the highest" he said.
Nothing we can do is sufficient to
repay him for his gallantry unsur-

Conversation With
Defendant in Sloying

Howard Lee, proprietor OF the
Chinese noodle factory at Fifth and
@ streets NV, in which two men
were wounded and one killed in a
shooting ARRAY on February l, told
of q conversation with the defend
ant about cats in District Court to-
day.
| He took the stand as a rebuttal
witness called by the Government
| in the trial of one of his former
workmen, Sung Sohi Kuei, %
charged with first-degree murder in
the death of Lum Tum, so, foreman
in the noodle plant.
A middle-aged man with grayine
hair above a baldish brow, he gazed
calmly through his glasses await
ing the questions. No Interpreter
was necessary. Mr.. Lee was born
in this country.
Talked About Cats.
/ "Was there ever a conversation
with the defendant about cats?" T
Peter Ansberry, assistant District
attorney, asked.
IT believe there was" Mr.. Lee
replied.
Justice David A. Pine, on the
bench behind him became alert. The
jury leaned forward. Sung had tes.
tilted yesterday in his own defense
that his quarrel with the deceased
had started when he threatened tt
60 to the police about Lum's putting
cats and dogs in the rice pot ane
that Mr.. Lee had made peace, giving
the defendant $40 and asking hin
not to make trouble.
What was the conversationa
asked Mr.. Ansberry.
I'VE have two cats there" said Mr.
Lee. "Of course, there were mice
running around. I believe he sale
one of the cats there was LITTLE
sharp and had scratched him"
WAS there any conversation abou
cooking cats?" the prosecutor asked
No, sir
About killing cats?"
mo, sir"
Eating cats?"
No, sir
Mr.. Lee repeated the same denial
concerning dogs.
He was preceded on the stand b,

trict coroner who testified that HI
recalled Sung's re-enacting his al
legged struggle for the gun in which
both he and Lum were shot, tn,
latter fatally.

, DR.. Macdonald said that Sun,
; used his own attorney, Thoma
Ahern, in the role of the deceased
: The coroner said that Lee showed
how he took the gun away from tn
Y deceased with his left hand; crap
pied with him; held him around tn
chest and then transferred the gun
: from his left to his right hand. Tn
, doctor said that he then indicated
! that he had shot the man in th
left shoulder.

S was shot in the right shoulder.

Tum's friend, Choy Foo, who wep
