The dogs have undergone refrain

POLIO: /.
Cases Increase

On the eve of infantile paralysis
summer outbreaks, figures show
that the number of poliomyelitis
cases in the country is running
about so per cent ahead of a year
ago, it was announced by the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. AS of mid-May, the num-
Der of new cases this year were 642
as compared with 424 cases for the
same period in 1914, the foundation
reported.
Sharp increases have been re-
ported in the New England states,
Middle Atlantic states, South Allan
tic area, and the East South Cen
trail states. In the Pacific coast and
West South Central areas which
have been hard hit during the last
two years, there has been notice
able drop in the number of new
cases. The remainder of the coun-
try is running about the same as
last year.
Despite the fact that there are so
per cent more cases in the country
this year. the situation is not alarm.

SHIPYARDS:
Workers Needed

The rush Of workers to peacetime
jobs is seriously impeding the con.
struction as well as repair Of war
vessels, the navy revealed, with
the situation equally serious in both
west and east coast shipyards.
With damaged vessels receiv-
ing first call on facilities for re-
pair, the building of new ships
necessarily must await their fix
ing. With the Brooklyn navy
yard in need of 5000 additional
workers at once, the new 27,OO0-
ton aircraft carrier Reprisal is
FIVE months behind schedule and
the Oriskany is about half COM
pleted. Approximately 100000
man days of work will be re-
quired ON the super 45,000-ton
flattop Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Both east and west coast shipyards
have been losing about. 600 en-
ployees month in the shift to
peacetime jobs, with the tight man.
power situation In the west reflected
by the necessity to tow the famed
fattop Franklin to Brooklyn for re-
pair. In an effort to remedy the la
Dor crisis in the west, selective serv-
ice granted blanket draft deferment
to skilled help.

PACIFIC:
NepU Campaign

Under heavy attack in the north
ern portion of their empire, the
Japs face equally heavy pressure
in the south, with Allied forces I'M
der command of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur moving into northern Borneo
in drive to conquer the island that
easily could be the prelude to
a campaign against the Indies and
Malaga.
Rich in oil and rubber and pos
sessing good ports and airfelds for
thrust to the west, Borneo was
overrrun by the Japs early in 1912
while the Allied cause in the Pacific
still remained paralyzed after
Pearl Harbor With Jap shipping
coming under increasing u. S. air
and sea pressure, Borneo's value to
the enemy has been sharply re-
duced, and Allied invasion forces
met only meager opposition as they
moved. inland in the mountain
Gus country.
Though only lightly defending the
comparatively commune BILE coast
al regions, the Japs did fire the ex-
tensive oil installations located
there in an effort to prevent their
use by the Allies for future opera
tons. Flames from the storage
tanks and wells could be seen for
40 miles.

grieved nations to air their COM
plants before the postwar peace
organization.
While the step toward bringing
together the dissident Polish ele-

ing move for the development of a
representative rule, the Polish gov
eminent in exile in London denied
the authority Of the Big Three to

ference in Poland, the exiles
branded the plan as concession to

VETS CARE:
Legion, V.F. W. Critical

Stung by the American Legion and
VIEWS ringing denunciation of
the veterans administration bureau,
congress moved to look into the
whole question and give ear to the
comprehensive program outlined by
both service organizations for eff
cient functioning of the department.
With a spokesman declaring that
the bureau may eventually have to
handle the cases Of $4,000, 900 G.I.s,
the American Legion suggested the
creation of deputy administrator
under Gen. Omar Bradley and
realignnent of authority under six
assistants to handle medical care,
insurance, finance, loan guarantees,
readjustment allowances, vocational
training, rehabilitation and educa-
ton, adjustment of compensation,
pension and retirement claims, con-
struction supplies and contracts.
Though criticizing the overall op-
erations Of the bureau, the Ameri-
can Legion and VIEW. particularly
raped vet hospital care, charging
that ~ per cent of the institutions
now give inadequate treatment and
citing instances of abuse In some
centers. To relieve conditions, the
organizations proposed increasing
bed capacity; boosting wages; al
lowing authorities more leeWay in
securing help and supplies; more
intelligent segregation of patients to
speed recovery, and replacing army
with civilian personnel.

SUGAR
Set Quotas

Though distribution of sugar
through the first five months Of 1915
exceeded that for the same period
in last year, the War Food admins
tration fixed rigid quotas for govern
ment and civilian users for July
August-September, with the home
front obtaining 10000 less tons than
at present.
From January through May, dis
tribution of sugar totalled 1855, 906
short tons compared with 2,747, 543
last year, it was revealed.
Rejecting criticism that the i'm
pending sugar pinch has resulted
from loose ALLEGATIONS of the COM
modify in the face of over-optimism
over supplies, figures showed that as
of June raw sugar stocks amount
ed to 275,746 short tons compared
