The Israeli army and the crack
Trans-Jordan Arab Legion were
locked in what might prove to be q
crucial battle for the Jerusalem-Tel
Aviv road. Early in the week Jews
captured the cities Of Er Ramle and
LYDIA and an estimated $4,000 Arabs.
The Legion counterattacked with
tanks and artillery and scored soma
advance before Israeli lines CONCEALED.
Egyptian planes bombed Tel AviV
and the Israeli air force struck at the
main Egyptian base at GAIA in SOUTH
west Palestine.
A British Shift
The British were reported ready to
join in strong U.N. action to halt
Holy Land fighting. Previous Soviet.
American moves for positive action
had been blocked largely because Of
British opposition.
Whitehall was agreed, at least in
principle, it was said, with an Ameri-
can proposal that the Security Council
declare that a threat to peace exists
under the meaning of Article SO of the
U.N. charter. Invoking that article
would permit an order to both Jews
and Arabs to cease and desist" from
further fighting or face possible U.N.
penalties.
A similar proposal received five af-
firmative votes on two previous occa-
sions when it was sponsored once by
the United States and once by Russia,
Seven affirmative votes are needed for
approval.

Science
BUiIt-In Rudiouctivify

The Atomic Energy Commission is
offering private industry chemical
compounds with built-in radioactivity.
These compounds, such as ethyl and
wood alcohol, acetic acid, acetylene
and various sodium salts, are tagged
with radioactive Carbon-I4. These
compounds now are capable of emit
ting rays so that when used for re-
search, medical or industrial, it will
be possible to trace what happens to
them in the course of an experiment.
For nearly two years, the commits
sion has made available to researchers
separate radioactive elements like
Carbon IA for use in experiments. But
II researchers wanted to use these ele-
ments in other than their original
form, they had to manufacture their
own cOmpOunds-Often at great ex-
penSe.
Within six months, the commission
expects to have other compounds
available for qualified users.

Polio
Menace TO Teen-Aaers


Infantile paralysis is tending to shift
its attack from infants to teen-agers
and adults, according to a worldwide
survey reported to the First Interna-
tiOnal Poliomyelitis Conference this
week in New York.
In 1916, 81 per cent of the US. polio
victims in cities were more than IS.
Now more than 25 per cent are
over Is.
The same trend has been noted
abroad.
The conference took on added sig
nifcance to Americans since North
Carolina is experiencing its third
worst outbreak of polio since records
were established in 1918. The state
board of health reported 485 cases
up to last weekend.
How to keep children away from
infantile paralysis, as far as this can
be done, was explained in a University
of Michigan exhibit.
Home is the most dangerous place.
II anyone in home gets the disease,
or becomes a carrier, intimate associa-
tion spreads polio faster than any
other known way. From a polio home
the disease spreads mostly to homes
of intimate friends.
Schools and camps are not as dam
gerous because contacts between chill
dren there are not as frequent.
Many Carriers
Carriers are those who have the
virus causing polio-but are not sick.
Anyone can become a carrier merely
by association with another carrier or
with a victim.
Hospitals are sources of polio car
riers. One case was reported of three
infantile paralysis patients in a hos
pital ward, where II of As other per-
sons in that ward became carriers.
People sent to hospitals during an
epidemic may include numerous car
rierS even though they do not get the
disease. In one outbreak, a third of
those sent for observation proved to
be carriers.
DR.. Robert Wood of the New York
University School of Medicine, re-
ported that possible known pathways
of spreading polio are food, hands,
material from mouths, utensils and
toys, flies and sewage.
Yale University showed that out
breaks occur near contaminated sew
age. In many outbreaks flies have
bees found carrying the disease, but
it is not known that flies spread it to
humans.
Electrical Exercise
A new machine, the size of a teIe-
vision receiver, which exercises para
lyzed muscles by sending electrical
impulses through the body in place of
dead nerves was shown by the North
western University School of Medi-
cine, General Electric Co. and the GE
X-Ray Corp.
Muscles that seemed dead fex rap
idly while the current is on. The
machine is promising not only to VIC
Tins of infantile but also other forms
of paralysis.
This electrical exercise has bene-
flied GIs whose legs were paralyzed
by wounds. It is good, too, for stiff
necks of meningitis and for the type
of rheumatism known as rheumatoid
ties.

Fast But Not Far

Americans have narrowed the gap
which British designers held in jet
plane production, experts of the Com
mittee on Aeronautics of the Research
and Development Board disclosed this
week.
In 1916, the board publicly esti-
mated the British were two years
ahead in jet propulsion. Now it is esti-
mated that America has jet engines
equal to or more powerful than any
other country's.
British designs, however, still have
capacity for greater range, committee
experts say. Limitations on distance
bother jet plane designers of all ma
tions. Jets have the ability to 60 fast
but not far.

Food
Hit Budgets

EOOD prices - bugaboo of the
j housewife on a budget-prOb-
ably will continue to soar despite
prospects of a record corn crop
and the second biggest wheat
harvest in the nations history.
In a single month, according to an
AP survey in is key cities, meat
prices have advanced 4 to IA cents
a pound, butter to 6 cents a pound
and milk a penny a quart in many
places.
The consumers price index, cover
ing food, clothing, rent, fuel, electri-
city and other household necessities,
was at III on June 80, compared with
the 1859 average. The index is %
per cent higher than in June, 1946.
Bumper Corn Crop
The Agriculture Department says
the new record corn crop is expected
to total 1928, 1862, 900 bushels, nearly
100000 above the previous top crop
of 1946, The 1947 corn yield was only
2,4OO952.000 bushels.
The departments wheat forecast Of
1,24I75l, 600 bushels is only 123,168,-
goo bushels below the record set in
1947.
A department expert disclosed that
while this report is zone of the most
encouraging signs in a long time, ben
efts in terms of meat and prices will
be long range and not of any immedi-
ate benefit.
The housewife, he said, will not see
any real easing of the tight pork sup
ply until probably October of next
year. In beef. she will get a better

RANGE Cattle Drop

More cattle are expected on feed
lots for fattening this fall because of
ample grain supplies. This will cut the
fall slaughter but in turn will raise
the supply Of meat for next year, al
though cattle on the ranges have been
dropping in number for some time.
Because Of excellent weather, the
wheat forecast jumped nearly 5O,0OO,-
900 bushels during the past month.
In contrast with last year, the 1948
corn growing season has been excel
lent thus far Last years poor corn
harvest was responsible in large de-
gree for the cut in meat production
this year and the heavy boost in
prices.
Department spokesmen said that all
though there will be ample wheat for
foreign aid shipments during the fiscal
year. which ends next June 80, there
is no indication at this time what this
total will be. Crop prospects abroad
