The Sussex County Chapter Of
the National Foundation for lnfan-
tile Paralysis, met in Grange Hall
last Tuesday night. In a dinner
meeting, to launch the March OF
Dimes program beginning January
18th, ending January 30th., John
Fisher. Acting Sussex Chairman.
presided over the meeting, and out
lined the plans for the coming cam
paign. Mr.. Francis Reardon, State
chairman in the polio fight, spoke
briefly, stating his personal rea-
sons for engaging in the work and
thanking the Sussex County Chap
ter for the work done in the pre-
vious campaigns. The high spot of
interest was captured by Dr..
George J. Bowen, Chief of the Ken
ny Clinic of Doris Memorial Hospi-
tai, Wilmington. DR.. BONES told i'll
interesting detail of the successful
tight being waged at Doris Memo
rial in polio cases, pointing TO some
pertinent facts contained in re-
sumo of cases handled beginning
with 1871 through 1945. "Of the l44
cases, "Dr. Bowen stated, only I
were lost OF the remaining l3I
cases, ia are now entirely normal.
II have some muscular weakness,
Cnly six need aids to walk and only
two need braces" This fine result,
DR.. Bowen attributed solely to the
modern method of treatment plus
a newly discovered drug prodigi-
min. which while only lately dis
covered is already proving OF real
value, not only to new cases. but to
cases of long standing. Motion pic
lures of actual cases aud treatment
given were shown, together with
needed, and stressing the need for
trained technicians to combat the
results of the dreadful disease.
1t was suggested in the meeting
that a duplicate be made of the
films. by the State organization, in
order to place visual facts before
the public.

 No negotiations were scheduled as the strike entered its fifth Jay President Truman showed no i.l- tention of accepting the proposal of U. s. Steel President Benja 1li4, F. Hairless that solution be sough.. through conference of executives of major strike-bound industries.
 Solution In Acceptance
 Mir. Truman said the best solu. ton was management acceptl ice of his recommendation for an IS l-2 cent-an-hour increase. The CIO United Steelworkers accepted the proposal, but U. s. Steel stuck to its offer of IS cents.

 President Truman late yesterday formally ordered Secretary of Agri- culture Clinton P. Anderson Co di- rect the seizure of i34 strikebound plants of 17 packing firms.

Amonq ExecutiVes

Reid Robinson, president of the International Union Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers and also vice. president of the Congress of Indus trial Organizations, is battling to save himself from being busted from offices and relieved of all re- SponSibilities and honors in both organizations. A Washington dis patch to the New York Times charges Mir Robinson with solicit ing for his own personal use loan of 5000 from high official of the Doehler-Jarvis Corporation of Tol- edo and New York with which sev- eral locals of the Shelter Union have contracts.
 A petition for Robinson's removal of office is being circulated among high executives of the Smelters' union as well as the CIO.
 There is considerable local inter- est in the outcome of the custer movement, but no comments were available here today. There was no evidence of any concern or sym pathy in the "off-record" comments volunteered here this morning.

 Mir Robinson in his official ca- pacity spearheaded the general or ganization drive of factory workers in Waterbury. He addressed a mass meeting of CIO members in Buckingham Hall and took part in several executive conferences here.

McMahOn Asks UO On Tests

Washington, Jan. 25-CUP)-Sec- retary of State James P. Byrnes returns from London today to take up a touchy new problem-whether U. s. atomic bomb tests on naval vessels should be open to foreign observers.
 Sen. Brien McMahon, D.-Conn) 1, chairman of the Senate's Special Atomic Energy Committee, said he would meet with Byrnes to urge that representatives of other United Nations be allowed as witnesses. Some other Congressme:l joined in endorsing his move.
 Vice-Admiral w. H. P. Blandy, who will direct the historic tests, declined to say how he felt about allowing foreigners to see America s vaunted secret weapon in action. However. he said the issue was under discussion by the joint Chiefs of Staff and the State, War and Navy Departments.
 97 Ships To Be Guineas
 The atomic bomb tests on war; ships are scheduled for next May and again in July at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Under present plans, 97 U. S.. German and Japanese ships of all types will be used as guinea pigs" in the experiments. A third deep under water test will be held next year.
 Blandy, discussing the tests at a news conference, sidestepped a question regarding the amount of damage anticipated in the tests. He said it certainly would not be pleasant. He believed the third, deep underwater test would cause the most damage through pressure and shock.
 Blandy disclosed that Kwajalein would be used as the advanced op- erating base for the first two tests. His flagship will be the Mt. Me- Kinley which participated in sever al Pacific amphibious operations.
