Two New Polio Cases
Reported; Iron Lung
Shortage Minimized

Two new cases OF infantile pa
ralysis in the Washington area
were reported today by the Health
Department. An 8-year-old boy,
stricken at Wood Acres, Md, was
admitted to Children's Hospital and
24-year-old girl living in Bev-
erly Park, Alexandria, was being
treated at Gallinger Hospital.
Despite a shortage of iron lungs
in hospitals treating polio patients
here, the situation is not serious,
and any emergency can be handled
Health Department officials said.
All the respirators at both Chill
dren's and Gallinger Hospitals are
in use now, but Gallinger officials
yesterday obtained a spare" lung
from Providence Hospital. DR.. AL
vim R. Sweeney, Gallinger superin-
tendent, pointed out that in the
past respirators had been borrowed
from Walter Reed Hospital, and this
could be done again if necessary.
There also are several respirators in
county hospitals nearby which could
be borrowed if an emergency arose,
he said.
New Lung Ordered.
However, in order to insure an
adequate supply of the respirators,
another has been ordered by the
local chapter of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis, and
should be sent to Gallinger within
about three weeks.
Five persons have died from the
disease in the District SO far this
year, and ITO persons have been
hospitalized in the District since
January l. OF those, 81 were cases
of District residents, and 49 were
nonresidents, mostly from nearby
areas.
Fort Belvoir (Va.) public rela-
tions said today that Sergt. Warren
H. Shredder, "a, whose death from
infantile paralysis at Walter Reed
Hospital Sunday was announced
yesterday, was not stationed at Fort
Belyoir as was first reported.
Stationed at War College.
The soldier worked at the Army
War College and when stricken was
sent to the Fort Belyoir regional
hospital, 1t was explained. When
the critical nature of his illness was
discovered, he was transferred to
Walter Reed Sunday.
His was the fifth death In the
District Of Columbia area.
Richmond hospitals also report
ed shortage of iron lungs,
but said an additional respiration
had been borrowed from Roanoke
for any possible emergency. Five
new cases Of the disease were re-
ported yesterday In Virginia, four
from the Richmond area.

Washington-and with it the
Nation-never has failed to celebrate
the close of a war, the victories of
American arms. For there always
has been reason to celebrate-this
country has never lost a war.
Those who already are beginning
to think about a national Victory
Day celebration to commemorate the
triumphant ending of this greatest
of all wars have pointed for prece-
dents far into the Capitals past, to
the grand review held after the
Civil War. They have gone into
more recent history to recall the
parade which Gen. Pershing led up
Pennsylvania avenue 10 months
after the armistice of November IL,
1918.
Those were America S two greatest
previous conflicts since the republic
was born in the travail of the Revo-
lutionary War. But the Capital did
not neglect the gallant men who
won a briefer, less devastating
struggle, the Spanish American
War.
Two Celebrations.
There were, in fact, two big cele-
brations in Washington after Spain
was defeated. There was the Ma
tional Peace Jubilee, which opened
May %, 1899, and lasted three days,
and there was the national reeep-
ton which the Capital gave Admiral
George Dewey, the outstanding hero
of that day, when he returned to
this country in october of that year.
The National Peace Jubilee was
largely an outpouring of the civic
spirit of Washington citizens. They
raised the money and got up the
affair, with the appreciation and
help of the legislative and executive
branches of the Federal Government.
THE bright sun rising from a
cloudless east" reports The Star of
May %, 1899, 'ushered in this

National Peace Jubilee, and as 1t

Dolphin fired the national salute

The Dewey celebration was au-
thorized by Congress. The admiral
who had sunk the Spanish fleet
in Manila Bay May /, 1893, did not
return to Washington until the
evening of October 2, 1899. His spe-
cial train from New York was met
by detachment of artillery which
greeted him with a 17-gun salute
There was civic parade that night
and military parade the next
morning, which escorted the hero
to the Capitol, where President Nc
Kinley presented the admiral with
a sword, the gift of Congress. The
events ended in state banquet for
Admiral Dewey.
Members of Congress and others
who have discussed with The Star
a suitable celebration of this global
victory predict that it will far sur
pass any similar event in the Cap
ital's lustrous past. While it is too
soon to make definite plans, the
idea of national Victory Day, CEN
tering here and spreading over the
country, is taking firm shape in
official quarters and is being talked
about widely. The date may be
months distant, but no one doubts
it will be q fitting tribute to the
Americans, dead and living, who
won this war.

Navy Survey Seeks
Value Of Properties
OF ST. John 'sCoI|ege
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 22-The
Navy is making q survey Of the
historic ST. Johns College campus
to establish an accurate valuation
Of the properties in the heart of
Annapolis looking to an agreement
on purchase price of the area and
buildings for expansion of the Ma
val Academy.
A reliable authority in Washing
ton said "the Navy has not devi-
ated from its intentions to main
tain only one Naval Academy" and
that the department planned to
proceed with its expansion in An
napolis, including purchase of St
Johns.
The Navy Department has been
given authority by the Senate and
House Naval Affairs Committees to
60 ahead with its desires to acquire
st. Johns, the third oldest COL
lege in the United States.
Navy Opposes Second Academy.
Recently, because OF objections
from alumni and supporters of st.
Johns, there has been some agita-
ton in Washington among Congress
members for establishment of a
second naval academy, perhaps
somewhere on the West Coast. The
Navy Department has opposed such
a plan and the statement in Wash
ington bore out that this attitude
has not changed.
The survey under way, which in
cludes pictures Of buildings and the
campus, may continue for more
than a week, since the Navy ex-
poets to have In hand q complete
set of figures and estimates on
valuation TO put its own price on
requirement of the properties,p the
Washington authority stated.
No Condemnation Planned.
Asked whether, If the Navy and
st. Johns fail to reach agreement,
there would be condemnation pro-
ceedings on behalf Of the academy
to take over st. Johns, the Wash
ington spokesman said:
I'VE have taken no steps toward
condemnation and have not antici-
pated that such action eventually
may be necessary"
With the report Of appraisers in
hand, there Is indication there may
be some action in the matter within
the next two or three weeks, pos
sibly by the time Congress recon-
venes September S, when propo-
nents OF . West Coast academy
would have opportunity to intervene.
