Sister Kenny Sets
Plans to Leave:
No Longer Needed

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 81.
CUP) Elizabeth Kenny, who
founded a method for treatment of
infantile paralysis, announced she
was leaving the United States be-
cause her presence lis no longer
necessary
She also said she had been per-
emptorily" ordered by the pediatric
staff of the General hospital and the
University Of Minnesota to dis
charge four patients suffering from
muscular disorders other than in
fantilo paralysis.
Sister Kenny said that she had
admitted these patients tc the Ken
ny institute to prove that ker meth
ods were not only valuable for treat
ment of infantile paralysis, but also
for "other neuro-muscular dis
orders"
Sister Kenny, who developed her
treatment OF infantile paralysis in
the Australian bush country, said
she did not know when she would
leave Minneapolis. She did not say
where che planned to go.
The Kenny method involves use
Of hot packs and gentle massage,
which is in direct contrast to other
methods CT treatment which re-
quired immobility for infantlle
! paralysis victims.

LAGUARDIA'S CHALLENGE
ON CURFEW ORDERS

Mayor LaGuardia's defiance of War
Stabilizer Byrnes' curfew for all might
spots" including eating places as we'll as
purely recreation establishments is in
line with the mayors eye to the spectac
lar. If he expected his lead to be follow
ed by other cities, he just counted wrong
Having given pledge to observe the order
other mayors are going about keeping
that promise. To keep the record clear,
the New York mayor said naught either
way when the Byrnes order was promul-
gated.
Regardless of the right or wrong attl-
tude of the mayor in declaring the curfew
null and void, his action brought to light
the fact that Byrnes does not have auth
ority to enforce his ruling-and probably
no authority 10 enforce any other edict he
chooses to issue. If LaGuardias high
handed act does nothing more than to
remind congress of being derelict, it will
accomplish something.
Either there should be some source for
enforcement of rules or orders or moves
in the interest of war needs, or they
should not be issued. The same situa-
tion has made the labor boards impotent
and yet nothing has been done there. The
Patrillo case has been so outstanding IN
this regard that it would seem impossible
for congress to ignore further the absurd
ness of creating a war agency and then
leave it to become a laughing stock when 1t
undertakes to enforce its acts.
The fact that there are too many loose
ly authorized bureaus and boards and
commissions is beside the question. Ii
this is true, the best and perhaps the only
way to be rid of them is to give them en-
forceuent powers.
LaGuardia may draw many recruits to
his belief that another hour will not nulll-
fly any benefits the curfew may produce
in manpower needs, but he stands alone
in not staying in line with other volunteers
to accept the judgment of those direct
ing the vital war program in its various
branches Those who doubted the order
would help, still retain their doubts, but
they are willing to give it trial.
West coast cities are staying IN line
although the rule hits directly at hum
dreds of thousands of war plant workers
who must have their recreation or fun
through the hours they are off shifts
New York has that problem only to
small degree compared to the Pacific
coast centers.

President Seeks
Funds for
Missouri River

WASHINGTON, MARCH 81, (UP)
President Roosevelt has asked
Congress TUESDAY to appropriate
81, 100000 for the preparation OF
plans by the interior department. for
development Ct the Missouri River
Valley.
The President e%pIained that the
estimate included funds only for
the work preliminary to actual con-
struction of projects and must be
performed irrespective of whether
construction of the projects in the
basin is accomplished by valley
authority or other agencies
In my judgment" he said, the
proposed work will not interfere
with the conduct of the war;
The Presidents request was part
of long range program to divide
the country into seven basic water
sheds and have in each an operat-
ing authority along lines Of the
Tennessee Valley authority.
Budget Director Harold D. Smith
recommended the estimate to the
President. He said mapping. stream
gauging and other field inveStiga-
tions must proceed and plans must
be drawn lin order to prepare this
region to be properly included in
the postwar federal construction
program"

Senators Move
For Pay Hike

SACRAMENTO, March 81. CUP)
The senate committee on govern
mental efficiency and economy has
recommended passage of proposed
legislation tC raise state employees
salaries by S25 a month for a two
year period ending in 1897.
The bills proposing the raise were
introduced by Senators Jonn F..
Shelley, CD, San Francisco: Earl
Desmond, CD, Sacramento; Ralph
Swing, (RD, San Bernardino, and
Jack Tenney, (R9, Los Angeles.
= The committee amended Senator
Shellev's bill to limit the raise to a
two-year period. Senator Randolph
Collier. (RD, Yreka, said living costs
probably would so down after the
war.
Governor Earl Warren recently
said he would approve state pay
raises only if they were III line with
national anti-inflation policy, and
the state personnel board reported
last week that the average state
employe already has received all the
raises which would be allowed undeE

Senator Shelley said the person

British Cleric
Would Not Try
War Criminals

LONDON, March 81, CUP)-The
Archbishop of Pork proposed We'd
nesday the Master Criminals" such
as Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Him
mler should be put to death at once
by those who catch them.
He said such war criminals should
be outlawed and not given public
trial.
His remarks followed discussion Of
war criminals in the House of Lords.
Lord Wright. chairman of the Unit
ed Nations War Crimes Commission,
said Hitler has been listed as an
ordinary criminal and may be
charged with organizing mass gas
chamber murders
He indicated for the first time
what specific charges might be plac-
ed against Hitler, and said the COM
mission was not thinking in terms
of political crime when it put Hit
Ter on its retribution list.
Lord Wright answered an earlier
criticism in the House of Lords by
Lord Addison, who demanded gov
ernment statement on plans for
Furnishing Hitler and Benito Mus
Solini.

BRAKES AND SAFETY
San Diego Union)

(San Diego Union)
One of the most practical moves to re-
duce traffic accidents is the program,
sponsored by the National Safety Coun-
ell and indorsed by state and municipal
officials, for period of automobile brake
inspection from April 10 to June l. Under
this program, traffic officials will take
one minute to check brakes on cars whose
drivers are halted for traffic violations
This check is made by new device pro
NOTED by the International Association OF
Police Chiefs it has proved its reliability
over a period of many months testing
in Michigan. Arrests will not be made
except in the most flagrant cases, it is
explained, but motorists will be asked to
make proper repairs for their own pro-
lection. In one eastern city this pro-
gram reduced traffic accidents 33 per
cent in a month.
There is no doubt that large percent
age of the older cars on the highway are
equipped with faulty brakes. Neither is
there any doubt that they are large fac
tor in traffic accidents. AS matter OF
public safety. as we'll as for their own
protection, car owners should welcome
brake inspection and cooperate whole
heartedly in this program.

HERE'S TO GOOD HUNTING

Announcement from navy headquarters
in Washington that from now on the Jap
anese navy is to be hunted down, traced to
It's hiding places and destroyed is one of
the most cheering bits of war news of
late 1t meets immediate and enthusi-
astic acceptance, not only by the Amerl-
can people but by the men Of the navy,
as we'll Our fighting men on warshlpS
long have wanted to have this opportun-
ity. They know they are better sailors,
better shots and better all around than
the Japs and they have not the slightest
doubt of the result.
From strategic point, the decision is
sound. Long ago it became evident that
Hirohito never would send his navy out
to settle it in a square-off battle. Wise on
his part, of course. But the waiting time
is gone.
Unless Nimitz speeds up his ferreting
out program, his own task forces will
have accomplished his purpose. Each
succeeding foray of planes from carriers
accounts for more and more Jap war
ships and supporting planes. Last such
victory at Cure, inland seaport, turned
in a tally of seventeen ships not to men,
ton 600 Jap planes. In the meantime
Hirohito is not finding it easy to make
requirements.
And so, Here's to good hunting"
