A machine for preparing in
fantile paralysis packs under the
Sister Kenny method has beer
perfected by a group of UAW-CIO
workers in Toledo, it was an
nounced Saturday by Walter p
Reuther, vice president OF the
international Union in Detroit.
The inventors were financed by
a $4,000 fund contributed by
workers in the Spicer Manufac'
turing Co., Toledo.
Outlining development of the
device, Reuther said:
"About two years ago some
members of the Spicer union be-
came interested I'm this problem.
The polio packs, to be Of serv-
Ice, must be of a precise tenn
perature and the moisture must
be evenly distributed.
"The old method of prepar-
ing the packs was 10 use n
wash tub and wringer. Charles
Becker, one of the Spicer work.
ers studied the problem at the
Toledo Society for Crippled
Children. After much expert
menting the present machine
was devised"
The machine handles from
nine to II packs at a time.
Hospital officials, Reuther said
have pronounced the machine Z
complete success.

ton in Detroit soon.

pending appeal. The bill passed
the House and was killed by the
state affairs committee of the Sen
ate. Logic. Diggs and Howell were
members of that committee.
LOBBYIST ACCUSED
The state will contend tha'
$4,000 was paid Howell by the
late Constantine Daniels of Crane
Rapids, well-known lobbyist whC
was a major figure 10 years agC
in a legislative investigation o
graft rumors. Daniels died TIVE
years ago.
Sigler's statement follows:
"1t Is necessary TO reindict
certain members Of the Legisla-
ture even though they have
been already convicted.
"Some members of the Legis-
ature are involved I'm several
consplracies. Certain members
took relatively small sums Of
money on a number of bills.
They were repeated offenders.
In one case they took money
from one set OF bribe givers; In
another case. IL Is n different
set of bribe givers.
1--WE cannot adopt the policy
OF letting a chronic CRATER gO
simply because he has once been
indicted and convicted.
HITS INTERESTS
Certain interests opposed to
the exposure of graft and the
work OF the grand jury In bring
ing IL to light would like to
find fault with the relndictment
OF repeated grafters. They
would not like TO see our work
done thoroughly.
"The legislator who takes
bribes from different persons,
groups or interests, soon ac-
quires that reputation and is
known to those who pay bribeS.
Many bribe givers would not be
brought to the bar of justice
were we to adopt the policy Of
letting the chronic CRATER go
after having been once indicted.
"As we proceed through this
investigation, we will, TO the
best of our ability, bring to
light all grafters, including
those repeating offenders and
the persons from whom they re-
ceived bribes.
"This is consistent only with
equal Justice"
Logic served three terms in the
Senate. Diggs is a well-knowr

convicted. ran again last Novem

FOR AVIATION VETERANS

The United Stotes will emerge from this war
with the greatest aircraft manufacturing too'litIes
and the largest body Of trained oircrott personnel
in the history Of flying. The Army and Navy Air
Forces have taught 100000 men to operate and
service oirpIones to conduct oirwoys communities
tions and operate oirports.
Mony Of these 5000 900 will certonly want to
find peocetire Jobs that will let them make use OF
their specialized knowledge. Certainly, too the
fruits of that specialized knowledge too valuable
to be wasted But where ore the Jobs to be tound'
1t is most unlikely that they can oil be developed
in this country There is no reason, however, why
they should American orpones will likely be sold
all over the world So why should there not be oPPor-
tuntes for our oirtroned and oIr-minded veterans
in many of these foreign markets. They have gained
an intimate knowledge of American ovation products
and technique in rugged, thorough school,
These men could play an important part in open
ina new commercial frontiers, and in stimulating
the international trade which is essential to inter-
national prosperity and peace. The assurance Of
American service for American planes could hardly
fail to make our aircraft more desirable to foreign
BUYERS, especially in the immediate postwar years.
There is assurance that the government will as
sist business in this expanding field Of foreign trade
as it has in Others The State Department is planning
to add civil air attaches to its various diplomatic
stoffs
But it seems to us that the aviation industry for
its own good, should assume responsibility for de-
veIopine foreign job opportunities for ovation vet
Grams. Industry, not government should inform the
veterans Of these opportunities encourage them to
take them and, if necessary give them further train
ing.
Such program would not be guarantee Of g.
100000 jobs. But it seems likely that it would be
another safeguard against complete and cotostro-
phc collapse Of our wor-exponded eviction indus

THURBER'S CARNIVAL
1t is seldom that writer of
any great note is spared from
determined analysis. Critics,
grimly or gayly, as the case mas
be, seize upon him as a labora-
tory specimen, place him on a
microscope slide, and come up
triumphantly with their find
ings. ''Reinhardt Underthong is
a thus and-so. His talent is de-
finitely this, and he may be de-
finitely classified as that
James Thurber looked like a
nifty. But when he was viewed
through the glass, he appeared
as did flower cells to his weak
eyes in botany class "A varie-
gated constellation of flecks,
specks, and dots" which made
no sense whatever. The analyz-
ers gave up. Even the publishers
of THE Thurber Carnival
(Harper: S275) in their jacket
blurb, turn TO the helpless con-
clusion of the London Times:
"Thurber is Thurber.'
COVERS IA YEARS
The book is a fat anthology of
Thurber writing and Thurber
drawing the rich accumulation
of IA years. Readers who have
read and seen all of it, and read
ers who have known but part of
it will want to own the Carni-
val. Those who haven't had the
pleasure of reading The Mid
dle-Aged Man on the Flying
Trapeze," My Life and Hard
Times" My World and We'll
come to It." and Fables for Our
Time" to name a few, are saved
the trouble, worthwhile though
it would be, of collecting these
pieces.
Mr.. Thurber is a connoisseur
of the incredible; his humor no
no bounds. The men, the wo-
men, and the dogs he draws and
writes about will exist for you,
fantastic though they may seem
at first blush. And some of the
best reading in the whole col
lection concerns his boyhood
days i'm Columbus, Ohio, where
the people and things certainly
did happen--including his week
ly physical examination by
draft board doctors. which con-
tinued right up until the Arm

that it was useless to return a
heart. To return q diamond

the three spot was played. Now
the declarer had to win with the

out that ace of diamonds and as
soon as h. did, Mrs. Smith was
able TO cash her good jack of
spades, thus defeating the con-
tract.
