Nerve-Numbing Dru!
Used in Polio Cases
To Permit Exercise
By Thomos R. Henry
Science Editor OF The Stof

A combination of the nerve
paralyZing drug curare and exercise
is fastening recovery from the Grip
pling effects of infantile paralysis.
This was reported today to the
American Congress of Physical
Medicine meeting at the Statler
Hotel by DR.. w. D. Paul and DR..
o. A. Couch of the University of
Iowa.
The drug is used to relieve pain
and nerve tension so the patient can
exercise or stretch damaged
muscles. In one group of cases. the
two doctors said, the combination
overcame stiffness in from two to
II days. A similar group treated
with hot packs and stretching,
without the drug, required from
nine to $50 days to reach the same
result.
The curare itself apparently has
no curative effect. they reported,
but only facilitates exercise.
Fight on Palsy Urged.
In another report. co-ordinated
community effort in behalf of chill
dren affected by cerebral palsy was
urged before the congress by Or.
William B. Snow of Columbia Uni
yersity.
This disease. a form of paralysis
due to affected motor areas of the
brain, presents problems that go far
beyond those of other handicapped
children, DR.. Snow said. and victims
should be considered separately
from all other crippled children.
There is no absolute cure for the
disease" he said. For years indi-
viduals and agencies have attempted
to do something, but nothing short
of a concerted community attack
could hope to accomplish anything"

testify, but they did not respond.
Full Confidence Voted.
The proceedings went on without
a complaint and the board voted
full confidence in Mr.. Carey.
The conventions resolution assail-
ing Mr.. Carey was based largely on
his recent testimony before House
labor subcommittee that the U. E.

Looking Ahead"
ON MAY II and Is Governor HASTE will be the guest
speaker on the Avis Forum in ChristianSted and Frederikste,
respectively. He will discuss LOOKING AHEAD.
IN THESE trying times, when events have come in such
rapid succession, and in such significant ways, the topic chos-
en- by the Governor is timely and important. We are practi-
cally at the crossroads At such a point it is necessary that we
Stop, Look, and Listen before moving off, lest we head
thoughtleSSy in the wrong direction. 1t is always easier to
take time out to evallate conditions, than to move hastily, only
to have to retrace our steps, regretting with each backward
step.
REALIZING need for sound, constructive public
enlightenment, the AVIS Forum was started by a small group
led by the AVIS, a few years ago. The group was of the
opinion that the time had come when the public platform
should be more than a medium of getting even with others
OF raking officials and others over the Goals, and Of ceaseless
and meaningless harangue. No one can deny that the typical
lecture" offers little or nothing from which people could
either benefit, or receive inspiration. Speakers were little con
cerned with the facts, and conditions, whether they were SER
lous or not, often did not enter the picture The lecture plat
form was a place for believing out objections to everything
with nothing constructive being offered. The AVIS FORUM
therefore presents a ray of light through the mist. Citizens
Aoy tlluS ehe rOhOM ana there receive a tree, I'M
biased, clear-cut discussion on pertinent issues Of the day.
KEEPING IN mind the type of service which the
FORUM was to perform, those who plan the FORUM have
sought to select its speakers carefully. A special effort is made
to avoid any political flavor whatever, since in SO doing thereI
might be created an atmosphere which would nullify most of
what is intended. In a democracy the people must be enlight|
ened They must see clearly the issues of the day. They must
know how democracy works, and they must be on their toes.
It is only in such ways that the people will not be misIed, and
thus defeat themselves by their own narrowed and unfortun-
ate use of the ballot

homes within the reach OF all Amer

Senator Ellender said things will
be different with the Democrats in
