Agencies Here Spend
100000 in Year for
Research on Polio

The National Research Council
and the American Association of
Medical Social Workers. both of
Washington, spent more than $780,
600 in poliomyelitis research during

Keynote of the report was an
optimism in the field of research
which the foundation says is "at its
highest point in history" The mass
of information concerning polio
which Is becoming available is not
yet translatable into a system of
prevention as yet, but it constitutes
body of facts that are tools with
which the scientists can work more
effectively, it said.
The report devotes more than a
third of its IS pages to the Founda-
tons work during the epidenics
last year in Florida, Alabama, Colo
RADIO, Illinois, California, Mime
sofa and other stricken areas. More
than 100000 was expended by the
national office, in addition to funds
spent by chapters, which retain so
per cent of all March of Dimes
receipts for services to local polio
patients.
Some 10000 900 copies Of a Mes
sage to Parents About Infantile
Paralysis" have been distributed by
the schools of the country on be-
half of the National Foundation,
the report said.
In the field Of research and pro-
fessional education, the report dis
closed that the National Founda-
tons authorization of $2,S26, $40
during the year had brought to
$13 zoo. 900 the amount allocated for
this purpose since the organization
