NEW POLIO CLINIC
AT HOSPITAL HERE

AND STATE CRIPPLED
CHILDREN'S GROUP
GIVE O-KAY

To take the place of the Naval
Hospital polio ward. which is be-
ing closed, a new outpatient
clinic will be opened tomorrow
at Municipal Hospital for physi-
otherapy treatment Of persons
crippled from polio or other
causes.
Final details were ironed out
at luncheon at noon at the Ma
val Hospital where Capt. w. d.
Davis, commanding officer, was
host to Ralph Sierra, chairman
of the Monroe County Chapter
of the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, Inc; DR.. Ar

pedic Surgeon of the Florida

DR.. ]. B. Parramore, County
Health Officer; Mrs. Nellie a.
Reimer, district orthopedic
nurse; Mrs. Ruth Harcombe, Dis
trict Secretary, and Arthur Fin
nieSton, orthopedic appliance and
artificial limb specialist. All are
from Miami except Sierra and
DR.. Parramore.
Establishment of the new
clinic at Municipal Hospital is
primarily the result of the per-
sistent endeavors of Sierra to set
up some agency in Key West for
treatment of polio patients. With
the Naval Hospital polio ward
being demobilized, the need of
such a clinic became doubtly inn
perative.
Wrote National Foundation
Through series of letters,
Sierra secured first the coopera-
ton of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis. Inc, in
New York and then the Florida
Crippled Children's Commission
in Tallahassee. The Monroe

Foundation will supply $4,000

Truman Hopes Marshall Plan Will Supplant UNRRA

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman expressed hope today that the Marshall plan for European self-help will successfully sup plant direct aid of the type pro- vided by the United Nations Re- lief and Rehabilitation Admins tration.
 In a letter transmitting to Con- gress his report on UNRRA's windup operations during the first quarter of this year, MT. Truman said:
 ''Long-term plans have been in augurated by our government un- der which it is hoped that devas- tated countries will achieve eco- homie health through cooperation among themselves and with such long-range help as the United States is able to give under proper international arrangements"
 The mention of "proper arrange ments seemed to point up a news conference statement Wednesday by undersecretary of state. Robert A. Lovett that this country will ex- tend aid only on the basis of re- covery plan which is reasonable and realistic.
 In another reference to the l6- nation Paris conference on the Marshall plan Lovett said demands on American aid must diminish by next year.

postmaster general said last We'd
hesday that the charge of the I'm
tied Negro and Allied Veterans of
America that application blanks
for terminal leave pay are being
denied colored veterans by Sou
thern postmasters is a '1augh".
Asked to comment on the
charges ,Carghill said he had not
seen newspaper articles carrying
them. After an article containing
the charges made during the re-
cent UNAVA convention in New
York was read to him, he said:
CHATS laugh. The Post Office
Department knows of no instance
where leave blanks, when avail
able, were denied white, black,
brown veterans or any other
color.
ssIt's true that postmasters may
be out of the blnaks when color
ed or white veterans might apply
for them but I can't imagine any
postal official denying a man a
blank because of his color"
Officials of UNAVA said they
had lodged protests with Post
master General Robert E. Hanne-
gna concerning denial of the
blanks to colored veterans, but
Carghill said he knew of no such
protest. Asked whether he was in
position to know whether any
such protest had been received,
he declared he was.
