Faster Garbage Collection
Sought in Drive on Polio;
Parramore Gives Warning

DR.. Parramore warned the
public as follows:
Don't battle while over
heated:
2.-Dont get exhausted;
3.-Keep schools open so that
children may be regularly in
spected;
4.-Keep out of crowds.
The doctor also said that there
are two kinds of polio symptoms.
Polio Symptoms
One of the symptoms is pa
ralytic and the other is abortive,
Thus, many who believe they
do not have polio because there is
no paralysis, but who get sick
spells, become dizzy, and expert
ence nassau, may have the dis
ease.
DR.. Parramore said that there
are only two cases now in Key
West, One y. q child who had q
combination of polio and chicken
pox and who is in Jackson Me-
mortal Hospital at Miami fol
treatment, and the other is a 16-
year-old girl, who was taken to
the same hospital.
Further instructions from the
State Board of Health state that
a general plan should be CO.
ordinated with the local county
health officer. The board also
said that the abortive type of
polio can be infectious. It warn
ed against swimming in pollut-
ed ponds or areas into which
sewage was pumped. A ban
should also be placed on tonsil-
lectomY operations during the
early stages, of a number of
cases of the disease in the COM
munitY. it advised.
a plan of the Central Civic or
ganization, given to Committee
man Maxine Valdez, to spray all
bttSSes coming into Key West was
vetoed by SBH officials in Mi
ami who were interviewed by
Mr.. Valdez. The refusal was
made on the grounds that grant
ing one request of this type would
result in hundreds of similar de-
mands.

Key West businessmen will ask
for special meeting of the city
commission to authorize twice
weekly scavenger service during
the current emergency" caused
by the polio threat.
Businessmen said last night at
a meeting that, although the
causes and the manner in which
polio is transmitted are not
known, it is believed that flies
are a contributing factor and
therefore the group is interested
in more speedy garbage collec-
ton.
Scavenger Department Head
Robert Dopp. Welfare Depart
ment Head Dwight Hunter.
Sanitary Inspector Willard Glib
son and County Health Unit
Head DR.. J. B. Parramore will
be asked to be present at the
meeting to give advice. No
date has been set for the spe-
cial session.
Several of the businessmen
were of the opinion that there
are enough trucks in the city
scavenger department to assume
additional pickups during the
''en1erge but that four or
five more men 5or longer hours
for the men now employed would
make available the twice weekly
service.
Planes Spray DOT
Boca Chica DOT planes, with
white plumes of DOT trailing
from the wings, roared over the
city late yesterday, spraying the
entire area. The planes fly low
from the sea and when over land
pull the DOT lever, releasing
clouds of the chemical over the
city. This spray has been very
effective in killing flies and mos
quitoes, health authorities said.
DIR. Parramore said today that
Dan Harrison, county sanitarian,
and Willard Gibson, city sanitary
were working on sanitary
and are spraying garb-
age cans and inspecting food
handling establishments.

Carter Glass
Dies Of Attack
In Washington
CIV Associated Press,

WASrtINGION, May 28.-Car-
ter Glass died here at 2:15 o'clock
this morning of congested heart
attack. He had been ill five
years.
Carter Glass, a picturesque
fighter in all of his long, distin-
guished career, found perhaps his
greatest disappointment in an
illness which kept him inactive
when America shifted to the at
tack in the second world war.
When failing health prevented
him from going to Washington to
take the oath again as senior SEN
ator from Virginia in the 18th
Congress the Senate went to him,
For the second time in history
the Senate conferred on its Sec
rotary, Col. Edwin A. Halsey,
authority to administer the oath
away from the senate chamber.
The aged statesman was sworn
IN at his estate near Lynchburg.
Carter Glass loved attack and
he had sharp tongue. He never
hesitated to use it when fighting
for his principles. He fought hard
for Woodrow Wilson's League of
Nations program and he believed
the league might have prevented
the second world conflict. But,
when the war first broke out in
Europe in 1899, he was confident
that American isolation was i'm
possible.
There were few men in public
life who were such staunch
party men and yet so completely
independent of partisanship in
the consideration of national well
fare.
A lifelong Democrat, he was
regular" in election campaigns
but he often violently criticized
party policies between times.
No member of Congress was.
more outspoken in opposing
many of the New Deal' meas
ures advanced by President
Franklin ID. Roosevelt.
"Unreconstruted Rebel"
His unyielding attitude won
from the Chief Executive the
smiling Characterization of AN
unreconstructed rebel" But they
remained warm personal friends.
He was a vigorous opponent of
the Presidents third term candi-
dacy and left a sick bed to attend
the democratic national conven-
ton in Chicago in 1910 tossi1onl-
mate his friend, james AFar4
ley, then chairman of the nation
al committee, for the presidency.
His Caustic Tongue
The caustic-tongued Senator
said. in l941, that he would like
to shoot HELP out of the Nazis.
When a delegation of women
describing themselves as a
Peace Group of Mothers" pick
eted his office, he scathingly said
it was "a noisy disorder of which
any self respecting fishwife
would be ashamed. 1t is perth
ent for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to inquire into
whether they are mothers-for
the sake of the race / devoutly
hope not"
Mrs. Glass died on June s.,
1897. On June %, 1910, when he
was 80, he was married to Mrs.
Mary Scott Meade of Amherst,
Va, a widow many years his

For Other Countries
As Well as Britain

Step Is Necessary
For Economic Unity
by the Associated PY.xs

Secretary of Commerce Wal
lace declared today "loans to
many other nations" besides the
proposed $3,750,oOO,OOO for Brit

Without mentioning Russia,
France or any nation seeking loans,
Mr.. Wallace told the House Bank
ing Committee:
L IN just as much opposed to an
Anglo American bloc as to a British
bloc which excludes us. am Just
as much opposed to an eastern
(world trade) bloc as to a west
ern bloc. 1t must be our foreign
economic policy to promote economic
recovery in the east of Europe as
well as in the United Kingdom.
Russia recently has sent the
United States a new note relative
to billion-dollar loan, and negotia-
tions now are under way with
France.
Mr.. Wallace said specifically of
the British loan that 'it will make
important contributions to the solu-
ton of our two most pressing prob
lems-the maintenance of lasting
peace and the achievement of full
employment.
Government officials, meanwhile
expressed confidence today that the
last-minute hitch in French-Amer-
ican financial talks would be cleared

MANILA, May 27-A qualified
and usually reliable informant told
the Associated Press today that a
