Latin Support in Event of War

Going even further, the Command
recently set up Latin American
Air School at Albrook Air Force
Base in Panama.
The entire curriculum is con-
Quoted for the benefit Of enlisted
men of Central and South American
Nations so that they may undertake
courses in American aviation such
as armament, engine and propeller
maintenance, link trainer operation
aircraft sheet metal work, radio ope-
ration and instrument repair. Essen
tial amounts OF equipment for prac-
tical and Unconstitutional purposes
are installed in each Of the class
rooms.
The instructors picked to teach
the school are especially chosen fol
their bi-lingual ability and theil
specialist training. They translate
all technical and training manuals
into Spanish.
Invitations on an equal basis are
allotted to each of the countries Of
Central and South America. Those
who accept the invitations try te
send their best mechanics in the
hope that these men will return
home with the ability to teach others
and thereby aid in futhering hemis-
pheric defense in wartime and av1-
alton progress during peacetime.

Lead on Rapid Test
For Diagnosing Polio
Reported at Session

1 NEW YORK, July IA (CDN.- A
lead on a possible quick diagnostic
test for polio, one of the most
pressing of unsolved medical prob
lens, was reported to the first Inter-
national Poliomyelitis Conference
here today.
Two University of Minnesota
scientists reported that they had
found in q patients with polio
symptoms marked increase in the
blood of chemical known as hya-
luronidase The increase is pro-
portional to the severity of the
disease.
The scientists, DR.. David Click
and DR.. Frank Gollan, said the lead
is still being pursued and no claims
can yet be made for its validity.
Experts here gareed that a simple
and rapid chemical test of the blood
would be boon. Today, they must
rely on FAINT first signs, such as
fever, headache, vomiting, sore
throat and diarrhea, all of which
may or may not mean polio.
The only direct determination is
an analysis of human excreta for
the polio virus. This procedure is
costly and time-consuming inasmuch
as laboratory animals must be in
oculated. A long period of waiting
is necessary toI earn if the results
are positive.
1 Because of the vagueness of symp-
toms. it is known that many cases
of polio are not discovered.
