Raleigh, Oct. 12-(AP)- The
States polio outbreak is past the
epidemic state, although cases
will continue to arise, says State
Health Officer DR.. Roy Norton.
The total of cases throughout
the state, which yesterday stood

ever" he said. 1T had passed
out of the epidemic state in most
areas by September 1 and prac-
tically everywhere by Septem-
ber IS"
Polio usually reaches its lowest
point in late March or early
April, he declared, adding that
North Carolinians may expect
some cases to be reported steadi-
ly during the winter months.
"The popular idea that polio
stops completely when cold wea-
ther hits is a misconceptions" DR..
Norton said.
There has been mo observable

cause of school openings, he as

New York, Oct. IL (AP)-The
running battle between Radio
Comedian Fred Allen and radio
give-aways flared anew today.
The American Broadcasting

its supergive-away, Stop the

Fred Aliens statement that peo-
pie who are called during give
away shows are notified in ad-
vance so they'll be sure to be
by the telephone. They said it
just isn't done on that program
or the networks other prize
shows.
Allen made his comment SUM-
day night in his second consec-
utive broadside against give
aways. Portland Hoffa remarked
that every person who is called
on a give-away program "is al
ways at home sitting by the
telephone-waiting."

Austin repeatedly called on
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister

between the Soviet Union and
the Capitalist world is impos-
sible.
He asked why has Mr.. Wish

pretty certain that Soviet Dele

Miners To Seek
Shorter Week
And More Puy

Cincinnati, Act. u (AP)-
John L. Lewis and the United
Workers scale committe will
propose a shorter work week at
higher pay as part of tn union S
1949 contract demands.
Th 5000 delegates, on the
way home afr a Today con-
vention, adopted a seris of re-
solutions aimed at protecting
union members against the
unemployment of the l920's.
Resolutions from local unions
convered every possible bargain
ing point for next years con-
tract. The major issues were
the reduced work week and
higher welfare royalty.
The miners now work 40
hours. The union collects 20
cents a ton as a royalty for the
health and welfare fund, first
established in 1916.
Delegates yesterday voted to
boost the miners dues from an
avrage of So a month to flat
81. They also boosted the fee
for joining the union from $40
to $50.
The dues increase for tn e400,
900 soft coal miners and 10000
Pennsylvania anthracite diggers
would total approximately $1,000
900 a month.
The jumps in dues and initia-
ton fees were voted so that the
UMW's treasury might be lined
with additional funds for pos
sible new strike troubles and
fines.
