1NFANTiLE paralysis or polio
myelitiS terrifies not only by its
known effects, but also by its mys-
terry.
Apparently pouncing out of no.
where, 1t is doubly feared by par
cnts because there seems to be no
sure way Of guarding against it..
This is because the question Of just
how this disease spreads has never
been fully answered.
AT one time, it was thought to
be air-3Vrne. More recently, re-
search workers have come TO be-
lieve that insects may play a part
in carrying the disease from one
human host to another.
Study Carried Out
Much light has been thrown on
this problem by study carried out
in Chicago by Doctor Albert T..
Casey of Birmingham, Alabama,
and Doctor William I. Fishbein of
Chicago, under the supervision of
the President Of the Chicago Board
Of Health.
In trying to determine Just how
the disease spreads most often,
they found much evidence indicat-
ing that infantile paralysis is
passed from one child to another
just as are the other common dis
eases Of childhood, by direct con-
tact This discovery points the way
to control of this Gripping disorder
by methods which have proved ef-
fective against other contagious,
early diagnosis and isolation.
The study was made by watch
ing children who had come in con-
tact with another child who had
tnfantile paralysis and determine
ing whether or not they developed
any symptoms like those of polio
myclitis. As q result Of this study
1t was found that once infsntjle
paralysis enters a ncighborhood
there is no evidence that insects
have any role in spreading the
disease.
Direct Contact
There was a great deal of EVIL
dence that the disease was spread
by direct contact. This was shown

Task Force Friqid Now
 In Interior Alaska for
 Probing of Temperature

HEADQUARTERS, Alaska De- partment, Sept. 20.- Under com mand of Col. Paul A. Reichle. Task Force Frigid, comprising approxi- mately l,600 officers and men rep resenting all branches of the Army's ground forces, is ready for it's assignment.
 The mission is to conduct ser ies of tests at Ladd Field during the fall and winter months to de- termine the value of the American equipment in frigid weather
 The troops arrived at Whittier aboard the transport Sea Star on September IS. and were greeted upon arrival by Maj. Gen Howard A. Craig, commanding general of the Alaska Department.
 In addition to the soldiers and their personal baggage. the Sea Star brought 100 pieces of field equipment.
 The force will operate as an inde- pendent unit during most of it's field test, with a minimum of gar rison duty. All types of Army ground forces equipment will be subjected to field conditions in extreme low temperatures.
 The army hopes to determine definitely whether present equip ment and material is suitable for use in the Arctic or whether it will be necessary to develop new types for such opsrationSs 4 It took approximately 450 ve- hicles, believed the longest convoy ever to move over Territorial high ways, to move the force from the debarkation point to it's new garri- son

RUSSIA WILL TIGHTEN up,
 INT. AFFAIRS
Some Agencies Have More Officials than Work
 CTS in Fields
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The latest in a recent series of moves to tighten Russian internal affairs is the announcement in Moscow of a nationwide purge of it's collective farm system.
 The decree calls for the prosecu- ton of agricultureal officials guilty ot anti-governmental activity. It was signed by Prime Minister Stalin and the Secretary of the Commun- ist party central committee, Colonel General A. A. zhdanoy.
 The decree cited incorrect pay-
 Aent for work days to collective farmers, the misappropriation of public lends for l.ersenGl l,se, thc stealing of collective farmers prop erty, and undemocratic administra : tion of the farms.
 The decree further stated that the over -staffing of collective farm ad- ministrative personnel has reached such a point that in some areas there was a shortage of able-hodied field workers and surplus of officials.
 The move was described as hav- ing a political significance of the first importance in an editorial in the Communist newspaper Prayda The editorial. broadcast by the Mes COW radio, declared that the prac- tices outlined in the decree were harmful and alien to the teach i ings of Lenin

COMMERCE
 SECRETARY
 kI(kED0
President in Showdown on Foreign Poliey-Support
 Thrown 10 Byrnes
(BY JOHN M. HIGHTowER)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Presi- dent Truman today busted Secre- tary of Commerce Henry Wallace from the Cabinet and threw his support solidly behind Secretary Of State James ByrneS in his conduct of American foreign relations.
 Wallace bowed out of the Cabinet with the terse announcement that T shall continue to fight for peace" His aides told reporters, however, that he will make no campaign speeches this fall"
 While solidifying American for cign policy abroad, the Cabinet up- heaval was viewed as presaging a possible split in the Democratic party's fight for congressional seats this November.
 MI. Truman said his removal was done in friendly fashion.
 Here's Resignation After a telephone conversation
 with the President, Wallace ad- dressed a letter to him as Dear Harry saying simply:
 "As you requested, here is my resignation. shall continue to fight for peace. l am sure that you will approve and will join me in that t,fea. enaeas or.
 Respectfully
 This turn of events caught the capital by such surprise that no one would venture a guess immediately as to Wallace's successor. Urtil one is chosen, the Depart ment will be in charge of Under secretary Alfred Schihdler, who is now on the west coast.
 The dramatic action removes from the Cabinet the last of the late President Roosevelt's original "New Deal" secretaries and a man on whom the Truman administra- ton has counted heavily to attract large sections of the labor and so- called left wing" vote in this No vember's Congressional elections. Flat Rule Laid Down At a news conference which broke up as soon as the President finish cd reading his terse formal state mert, MT Truman also laid dowr flat rule that no member of the executive branch of the govern ment may hereafter make any statement in conflict with our eS- tablished foreign policy"

The w ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

a WASHINGTON-H far they'll get with it is doubtful, but Cabinet circles very much hope President Truman will take a leaf from his Wallece-speech error and surround himself with some live-wire, quick thinking advisers.
 g, One good press secretary alone would have saved the Wallace blun- der. If Steve Early, Roosevelt's old press attache had been in the White House, he would have crack ed down on. his boss even in the middle of a press conference ana kept him from endorsing the Wal lace speech.
 Handling the press is tough Job ! for any President. Even Roosevelt, f despite his rapier-repartee, had ms ups and downs; while the three Re publicans Presidents before him didn't even attempt to answer oral questions. Most people have for gotten it, but Harding, Coolidge and Hoover all required press questions to be submitted in writing.
 This came about in a manner not unlike Truman's blunder on the Wallace speech.
 Woodrow Wilson had permitted oral questions, and Harding at- tempted to continue the practice Anxious to please but slow on the uptaKe, Harding made one world shaking error during the Washing ton Arms Conference when he was
