Health Department said today.
All four of the new cases were
admitted to Children's Hospital
Two of the victims live in the city
raising the Districts polio total tc
81 cases, while the other two were

that during the seven month period
ended last December 81, total OF
81, ,675 ,971 80 in March of Dimes FUND
was allocated to polio research, ed.
ucation and emergency aid.
During the period, the report said
$474,827 was spent on virus research

ton work, 100000 for medical care

The report said that 1880 polio
cases have been listed during the

81 1893 during the previous f1ve-yeal
period. More accurate diagnosis ano
greater knowledge of polio probably
is responsible for some of the in
crease, according to the report.
The report pointed out that re-
search at Johns Hopkins University
during 1s47 produced a vaccine
which appears to be effective in
experimental animals against one
strain of the polio virus"
But mo vaccine can be considered
practical for use in the human body
until it is completely effective
against all strains" the report added
