tanned, unknowingly. the knowledge
that was to prove so important in
evolving her world-famed treatment.
AS a nurse she saw what medical
practitioners had seen in such cases
since they first recognized infantile
paralysis as separate disease. And
Miss Kenny's technical mind saw
more. 1t saw the affected muscles
as series OF levers, cables, pull
leys. an intricate mechanical sys-
tenn.
Something, she sensed, had gone
wrong with the mechanism of mo-
ton in those twisted bodies. Limbs
refused to move.
A Discovery
Her examination disclosed that
while some muscles appeared to be
paralyzed, their opposing muscles
were in spasm--the muscles were
contracting-resulting in excruciat-
ing pain. Later studies were to
prove that this was revolutionary
discovery.
Up to this time spastic muscles
never had been considered. or even
known. in the treatment of infantile
paralysis.
Since these were sick muscles,
Miss Kenny concluded they should
be treated. Heat therapy. she felt,
would bring relief.
After trying various kinds of heat
to ease pain, Miss Kenny finally nit
upon hot lamentations (hot medi-
cants) as the most effective. She dis

affected muscles and disappearance
of spasm.
| When the pain had subsidized, Miss
Kenny made another startling dis
covery--that the apparently para.
lyzed muscles were not actually
paralyzed at oil but, because of the
disease, had lost their coordination
and ability to function normally. She
then tried retaining these muscles
to normal activity.
Movement Returns

continued her treatments following
the theory she had discovered.

parents Of this child consulted neigh

But neighbors shook their heads
helplessly. To them, as to the par

one that left frightening affects.

But despairing Of their child's life
and unable to find other help in the
community, the parents called for
the nurse. Sister Elizabeth Kenny.
To Miss Kenny. too. the disease
was something new.
Immediately she telegraphed an
old friend. DR.. Aeneas ]. Mcdonnell,

Miss Kenny read the message and
handed 1t to the parents. Tears
welled In their eyes as they focused
on the helpless. pain-ravaged body
Of their son.

But the nurse did not despair. Her
nrst move was to ease the pain Of
the suffering child.
Then new burdens fell on Miss

the community as five more children

Branson did it. Brought up on ranch, she
rode the range from the time she was big

When doctors told her she would never
ride again, Mrs. Branson started making
miniature horses just for the fun of it. Now
horse fanciers from all over the country send
her portraits of their favorite mounts, and
Mrs. Branson turns out reproductions that

Sixth class enlisted men such as
privates first class would be in
creased to $72, fifth class to S81.
fourth class to $50 and third class
corresponding to staff sergeant, to

There would be no increases in
the second class pay, now sll4

master sergeant, now $138.
Enlistments Decline.
Senator Revercomb told his COL

CHICAGO, April 6.-In what ap-
peared to be a peace offering to
militant Southern Democrats in
Congress, President Truman today
disclosed the view that repeal of
the poll tax must be left up to the
States.
His pronouncement concerning
one of the most controversial issues
ever tackled by Congress came un-
expectedly at a news conference he
held for Chicago High School jour-
nalists.
The question was raised by a
nervous, shy little girl, whose
query escaped most of the reporters
regularly assigned to cover the
President.

Poles Plea for Break
With Franco Next Biq
j. n. Council Issue
New Rules Of Procedure
First Topic on Agendo
Of Meeting Tuesday
By Gould Lincoln
Star Stoff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, April 6. The
United Nations Security Council
is about to receive the full i'm
pact of another ticklish political
question-the breaking of diplo-
matte relations with the Franco
government in Spain.
Under instructions received from
Warsaw, DR.. Oscar Lange, Poland s
representative in the Security Coun-
Gil, is expected to file with the
Council either tomorrow or Monday
a complaint against the Franco
government charging that it is en-
dangering international peace and
requesting a discontinuance of dip
lomatic relations by the members
of the United Nations.
Meets Again Tuesday.
The Council, when it meets at
3 pm. Tuesday, will have on its
agenda a report of the committee
of experts on rules of procedure.
Just when DR. Lange can get con-
sideration of the complaint against
Franco Spain depends on the dis
position of that report, and also
on the time when the complaint
is filed. Under the rules of pro-
cedure three days notice must be
given and the complaint of Poland
may have to go over until Wednes-
day.
In Council circles here tonight it
was said that Poland probably would
have the backing of Russia, Mexico
and perhaps France-which initi-
ated the idea of bringing the ques-
ton of Franco Spain before the
Council. Henri Bonnet of France,
however, has expressed the opinion
that the question was now one TO
be considered by the council of
foreign ministers of the United
States, Britain, Russia, France and
China.
The United States and Britain
it is reported, will oppose taking ul
the question of Franco Spain by the
Council. They are likely to have
