 Ali Madsen tod the hearing that 100000 red salmon had been taken from Red River dur ing 3 weeks of the closed season, and named cannery whose tender stood by, he said, during that time. He said he had kept a daily log for the 3 weeks, from his Rumble Bay camp, and that l3 boats were in the area during that time.
 Others also suggested more intensive and effective patrolling of closed areas by the Fish aad WiIdlils Service, and Karl Brun- stad said that eff you can't patrol a closed area, it might as we'll be kept open."

Sister Kenny Charges
Conference Withheld
Facts About Polio
By Sister Elizobeth Kenny
North American Newspaper AIIiones


NEW YORK, July 1.-THE first
International Conference on Polio
myelitis. meeting here all this week,
may well prove to be one of the
most important developments lead
ing to conquest Of this disease.
Although have personal reserva-
tions about the absence of open dis
cussion and the emphasis on cor
recting deformities rather than
preventing them from occurring as
a result of polio, this conference
has created a machinery for world
vide exchange of information.
Orthopedic surgeons have as
sured the 1900 delegates and OBJ
servers that deformities caused by
polio can sometimes be corrected
surgically as late as 20 years after
they occur. A psychiatrist pointed
out that deformities sometimes
cause children to mature earlier
than unaf1icted children, and to
achieve unusual mental capacity.
Other speakers told of experiments
with drugs that make possible start
ling advances in reducing the Grip
eling effects of the disease.
Futility Charged.
A consistent theme running
through most of the talks has been
the admission that deformities ma
terialize among a large percentage
If patients treated by the "ortho-
dox" method. However, when the
discussion sometimes approached
what Is known as the Kenny con-
cept and the method of treatment
based on that concept, there was
little attempt to explore the mass
of documents and statistics that
prove:
l. 1t is possible to detect polio
before pain and paralysis set in;
2. This earlier diagnosis can pre-
vent deformities from materializing;
3. When deformities do material
ize, they can be corrected.
The futility which marked some
of the conference discussion because
of failure to consider the Kenny
concept was illustrated when dele
gates asked the panel speakers to
explain the origin of gross deformi-
ties concerning the spine, which
materialize in some polio patients.
No answer was forthcoming, for the
answer cannot be found in the old
theory that deformities are caused
by strong muscles pulling against
weaker or paralyzed muscles. Yet
this theory is still held by many
medical men, even though much evil
dence to the contrary has become
available.
Sitting at the press table and lis
tening to these discussions, I could
not help but think how much use
full knowledge has been withheld
from these delegates, many of whom
travelled thousands of miles to learn
more about polio.
Cites Lack of Invitation.
Because neither DR.. John F. Pohl
medical director of the Kenny In
stitute, nor any other representa-
tive of the institute, was invited
Evening star., 1948-07-18

to attend as q delegate by the spon-
soring National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, this conference has
lost materially in its consideration
of every phase of the disease.
A clear and lucid explanation OF
why spinal deformities materialize
and how to prevent their develop
ment would have been q great con-
tribution to the success Of the con-
ference. This evidence could have
been given both clinically and In
reports based on scientific research
and experience at the Kenny Insti-
tute and other scientific centers.
Instead of requiring the surgeons
knife to correct the deformities pre-
sented by twisted bodies and crooked
limbs, earlier recognition of their
development and its cause would
prevent the need for surgery. This
Is not my own statement, but has
been presented by medical men of
unimpeachable repute, who have
witnessed polio therapy at the
Kenny Institute.
Yet there was no place in the
agenda of the conference for con-
sideration of the Kenny concept of
polio, on which this method of treat
ment is based.
Perhaps subsequent conferences
will be broader in scope.
