Fighting the ravaging polio cpl
demic of 1916, the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis has spent
$40, 575. 900 for medical and hospital
care of patients, Basil O'Connor,
foundation president, declared.
THAT sum is only the first cost
of the most devastating epidemic in
foundation history" he said. with
the number of cases above the 1000
mark and foundation funds at low
ebb, a minimum of $24, 000, 900 must
be raised in the 1947 March of Dimes
drive so that the unified attack
against the disease can continue"
Average cost of each case of in
fantile paralysis is $1,000. On this
basis the % states badly hit by the
epidemic face the stupendous cost of
$26, 100000 chargeable to the 1916
epidemic alone, national headquar-
tiers estimated.
The $24,000,000 estimate for the
drive was determined after a finan-
cial survey of the entire infantile
paralysis situation, O'Connor said.
The disease of the invisible virus in
vaded every state in 1916, but the
brunt of the raging epidemic was felt
principally in % states, which had a

Gone are the days of sky-high
prices for used automobiles, a
nation wide survey has
disclosed.
With buyers no longer
disposed to pay almost anything
for cars, prices have dropped
from 10 to 30 per cent, with

20 to 40 per cent within 80 to
SO days.
Boston recorded the biggest
price decline of from 10 to 80
per cent. New York, Philadel-

SENATE:
Dixie Sees Red

When Senator Bilbo's bitter per-
sonal enemy, James o. Eastland,
also of Mississippi, rose in the SEN
ate to denounce the move to unseat
his unpopular colleague, he was ex-
pressing the apprehension Of every
southern senator lest the move set
a precedent against conservative
members from Dixie.
Although Bilbo was temporarily
barred because of an Investigate
ing committees charge that he had
accepted favors from war contrac-
tors, the real impetus to the move
was furnished by liberal groups
opposed to Bilbo because of his
fight against the fair employment
practices act and poll tax, and his
encouragement of discrimination
against Negro voters.
While Bilbo was the immediate
target because of his nationwide
reputation, the issue touched south
ern senators from all white SUI
premacy" states. Charging that lib
eral pressure groups were working
for Bilbo's debarment, Senator FL
lender (Dem., Lao cried: "Topple
him off and find out what is going
to happen to others who share his
views and courage"

COLLEGE FOOTBALL:
House Cleaning

College football is headed for a
long needed housekeeping as a re-
suit of action taken by the National
Collegiate Athletic association at
its annual meeting in New York.
The tremendous growth of the
game and the phenomenal increase
in betting on contests as result
of widespread interest finally led
the collegiate officials to control
the sport and avoid discredit
through threatened scandal.
Starting rather late after the
growth in popularity of the game,
the organization of alumni and the
erection of gigantic stadia - the
N.C.A.A. moved to curb recruiting
of athletes, extension of shady
financial assistance to players and
competition with violators of the
new rules. The curbs are to be in
corporated in the N.C.A.A. consti-
tuition, to which 252 colleges SUBJ
scribe.
At the same time, the NCA.A.
adopted six point resolution aimed
at the gambling evil. Besides ask
ing for strict enforcement Of anti
gambling laws, the resolution called
upon newspapers to refrain from
printing odds on games, and coaches
and athletic directors were request
ed not to make prs-gaEns predic.
uuna.

ITALY,:
Seeks Aid

Leaving hungry and discon-
tented populace behind him, Pre-
mier Alcide de Gasperi hurried to
Washington, D. c., to seek substan-
tial financial assistance from the
U. S. to prevent political and eco
nonic chaos in Italy.
Negotiations conferred around a
billion dollar loan first discussed
between Italian and U. S. officials
at the time of the Paris peace con-
ference. Italy would not be permit
ted to apply the proceeds against
its Preparations bill of 100000, 900
but would use the funds for food.
raw material and industrial equip
ment.
A substantial loan would help
Italy rebuild it's once lucrative tour
list trade. Italy's biggest industry"
before the war, the trade is severe
ly crippled because of the destruc-
ton of hotels and their requisition-
ing for housing, lack of transport
and an unfavorable exchange rate.

the American dollar draws 600 lire
on the black market.

HIGHWAYS:
Double Work

Despite many retarding influ-
ences, the 1916 highway program
doubled that of 1945, according to
the American Road Builders. Of an
estimated two billion dollars public
works expenditure for 1916, about
600 million was spent on highway
construction.
While the federal aid highway pro-
gram has not moved as fast as was
hoped, start has been made and
should show improvement in 1947,
it was said. Recent Public Roads

BRITAIN:
Land Control

Proceeding along the path Of in
creasing control of property to as
sure it's widest possible use for pub
lie benefit, the Labor government of
Britain moved to regulate the sale
and use of real estate.
Under the town and country plan.
ming bill introduced in parliament
and headed for passage despite con-
sentative opposition, the govern
ment would compel the sale of I'M
developed but prospectively valuable
real estate at existing prices. Only
in cases of hardship would prices
above the prevailing market value
be paid.
In addition, the government would
control the use or reconversion of
property to prevent industrial blight,
preserve the countryside around cit
les and provide recreation grounds,
and allow room ''for breathing in
overcrowded areas. The govern
ment also would regulate the post
ing Of billboards in rural sections
and scenic cities. &
Because it is the biggest landown-
er in Britain. the Church of Eng
land would be most affected by the
proposed measure.

ECONOMICS:
President Reports

In the first annual economic re-
port issued by the President under
the employment act of 1916, Mr..
Truman set forth the principles for
a prosperous America. Drawn by
three man council of economic
advisers, the report called for con-
tinuance of the traditional free en-
terprise system supplemented by
constructive government assistance
where necessary.
LOng-range recommendations
include maximum use of labor
and productive facilities, pre-
vention of economic fluctuations,
cooperation in international
trade and finance, and promo
ton of welfare, health and Sc
curity.
Because of their immediate
bearing, the short-range rec
concentrations were of greater
interest. The report asked for
the maintenance of present tax
rates to provide for substantial
retirement of the national debt;
lowering of prices wherever pos
sible to increase consumption;
moderation Of labor demands
to head off additional price
rises; increase in the minimum
wage above 40 cents an hour,
and extension of the fair labor
standards act to workers now
excluded.
Mr.. Truman also asked for ex-
tension of rent control beyond next
June. Decontrol would result in i'm
mediate rent increases, which
would materially impair purchas-
ing power, he said.

CONGRESS:
Sharpen PAYROLL Axe

Economy minded COP house
members, axe in hand, were eying
the big federal payroll in their an
nounced drive to scale U. S. ex-
penditures IL billion dollars below
the 1916 budget of Al billion dollars.
Declaring that there is hardly q
government department that does
not have twice as many employees
as needed, Representative Taber
(Rep., N. ", chairman of the
house appropriations committee, as
serted that 100000 workers could
be chopped off the payroll of $780,
900 without seriously impairing
services. Not more than 100000 en-
ployees in all are needed, Taber
said.
'sWe are going to cut down govern
ment expenditures to point where
the budget can be balanced, a pay
ment made on the national debt,
and we will still have room to re-
duce taxes" Taber snorted.
