DR.. Pohl was one Of the six men
who conducted the five-year studies
In cooperation with the University
of Minnesota medical school.
Other research was conducted by
orthopedists at the world-famed
Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota
and by the Rochester New York;
University.
Studied 1854 Cases
The DR.. Pohl report is based on
the most comprehensive study to
date of Miss Kenny's revolutionary
treatment and the results of that
treatment.
In The Journal Lancet, DR.. Pohl
points out that his evaluation of the
Kenny concept and treatment is
based upon a study of 1854 patients
suffering from infantile paralysis in
the acute stage who were admitted
and treated at Elizabeth Kenny
Clinic during the years 1910 through
1914.
Of the 1854 patients 341 survive.
Upon completion of the treat
ment Is per cent of the patients
have extensive residual paralysis OF
n or more extremities but "a per
CEN may be considered to have good
recovery from the standpoint OF
muscle strength and ability to move
the limbs" DR.. Pohl wrote.
He explains in his article that the
cases studied were not mild ones
but were of average severity" in
comparison with previous expert
ence in the same hospital (Minne-
apolis GeneraD.
Remarkably Successful
"A patient may be a success from
the standpoint of retaining good
muscle power but the same patient
definitely represents a failure OF
treatment if he suffers permanent
gripping deformities in spite of his
good muscle strength as was toe
frequently the case under orthodox
management of the disease.
ION this basis the Kenny treat,
ment proves to be remarkably sue.

Negro lawyers meeting in Cleve

Lester B. Granger, National Orb
an League Executive Secretary 10
take the lead in Investigating the
legality of present FILA racial pol
icies. In a letter addressed to
Charles Anderson, President of
the National Bar Association, in
it's annual session, Granger assail-
ed the government agency's prac-
tice of guaranteeing building and
mortgage loans to Negroes only if
they remain in Negro neighbor-
hoods and to whites if they remain
in white areas
Granger pointed out that FILA
has not only encouraged the
spread of racially restrictive COW
~enants, but it has justified them in
its Underwriters Manual the
bible" for appraisers and financ-
ial institutions throughout the
country. Although FILA has re-
vised it's manual to eliminate the
references to racial restrictions,
the League Executive stated that
"it is too late for such revision to
have any practical effect. Local
lending institutions and building
interests have, on their own init
iative, continued and strengthened
these practices which have distort /:
ed housing conditions for Negroes
throughout the entire country"
Legal Minds Needed
Asserting that the time for
quiet education" has passed,
Granger set forth the opinion of
the National Urban League that
the situation will be changed only
through court and legislative act
ion. He asked that the Negro
lawyers organization join forces
in a national project to make it
impossible for public funds to be
spent in what amounts to a prac-
teal subsidy of racial ghetto build
ings in American cities"

are, that every dollar counts. The

at stalag near Ziegnain were lib
Grated last Friday when the 6t.1

according to a report by Lee McCar-

The men are Sergt. Edward T.
Aud, brother of Miss Susan Aud, COG
Bennington drive, Silver Spring, and
IT'S Frederick L. Wilkerson, son OF
Mrs Margaret T. Wilkerson, Route

Sergt. Aud was first reported miss
ing in France on January and was
later reported a prisoner of the Ger
mans. He entered the Army in July,
1941, and went overseas last Octo-
ber. He was fighting with the 7th
Army when captured.
TVS Wilkerson, a native of Wash

cry County since childhood, was em-
ployed by A. Guide Sons, florists,
Rockville, before entering the Army
late in 1912. He had been overseas
since last October.
Mr.. McCardell reported that the
former prisoners are safe and well.
