and Become Complex
and Expensive

NEW -"The 1949 March
of Dimes campaign opens Fri
day, January IA, with the most
intensive Embarrassing drive in
II years. The urgent need for
increased support of the March
of Dimes is stressed by the de-
pletion Of the epidemic emer-
gency fund of the National
Foundation for Infantile Para
lysis and the exhausted treasu-
ries of many local chapters
stated Basil O'Connor, National
Foundation President, in a call
for all-out support Of the polio
campaign.
Mr.. OiConnor explained that
costs Of the 1913 epidemic would
exceed $17,OOO,OOO. "lnfantile
paralysis is on the increase in
the United States" Mr.. O'Connor
said. $50, too, are costs of care
of poliomyelitis patients. In

leadership, the branch will, of
necessity, atrophy and die.
The NAACP in tine nation as
a whole has won too many bril-
liant victories fer the race, for
the branch in the second city
Of the nation to be allowed to
dwindle away to nothi.gness.
In the early years Of the Chi

as the Honorable Harold l..

pace? we think not.
Of recent years the policy ap-

alleged that some ungodly self

Beall Is Temporary
Minority Leader

Rep. j. Glenn Beall, of this Con-
gressional district, has been named
minority leader of the House Of
Representatives in Washington for
the period from last Saturday to
September 81. The appointment was
made by Joseph w. Martin, Jr.,
minority leader
Beall's appointment was being
viewed as recognition by Republican
leaders for his services in the House
of Representatives
Because the Senate is still in ses-
sion and would not agree to adjourn
ment of the House, the latter body
must meet at least every three days
during the recess period
By agreement, no legislation can
be considered by the House unless it
is by unanimous consent of the ma
jority and minority leaders. This
means that Beall's consent will have
to be obtained before the House can
consider any legislation.
During the recess period the House
will meet every Tuesday and Friday
in order to conform with the law pro-
viding that recess cannot extend
beyond three days.
