Better Care Of Polio
Reduces Gripping
Effects on Victims
By Howard w. BIokesIee


NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Childrer
have had polio-infantile paralysis
since ancient times. Today a
higher proportion recover without
Gripping.
This is the only gain, and all
in the present century. The gain
comes from better nursing, and
not from anything else.
Almost every one has had polio
but only few even become sick
How the disease works in most
of us who don't get i'll is entirely
unknown.
But what happens in the sick is
we'll known. It is in your spinal
cord. This cord is the cable carry
ing nerves from the brain to
branch out. like switchboard
wires, to all parts of your body,
One set of nerves in this cord
governs muscles. Polio chooses
for some mysterious reason, to
attack these particular nerves and
no others. These nerves are made
of horn shaped cells.
Destroys Horn Cells.
Polio damages or destroys horn
cells. Among all nerves, these
horn cells alone are unable to re-
generate themselves. Once gone,
Evening star., 1949-08-03
lthey break the muscle-nerve cable

they break the muscle-nerve cable
for life.
Without these nerves in the
spine, muscles shrink. No other
part Of your body is damaged.
Polio can strike at any point
along thevspinal cable. If it hits
nigh up, 1t paralyzes arms and
hands. If in the midspine. polio
hits the muscles of breathing. If
low down, it paralyzes leg muscles.
There Is an additional point of
attack, in the bulb" rounded
thing, half the size of a thumb,
at the top of your spine. This To-
cation of polio brings most of the
deaths.
The cause of polio is virus, a
very tiny particle made of protein.
How this particle does its destruc-
ton is unknown.
Two Kinds of Virus Known.
Two kinds of polio virus are
known. More are suspected. You
can have polio more than once,
one attack for each kind of virus.
In epidemics, those who recover
without any bad effects range from
40 to 10 per cent. Sometimes
there will be 10 per cent complete
recoveries without any medical
care. Sometimes the death rates
and crippling are high despite
care.
This contradiction Is due to the
virus being different from year to
year, sometimes virulent and
sometimes mild.
Evening star., 1949-08-03

In epidemics, hardly more than
one child in 800 gets visible polio
The highest susceptibility is from
the ages of 4 to 9. But polio can
hit adults, and recently in the
United States the adult victims
have been increasing.
Two Special Aids.
Nursing care, to help the body
fight its own battle, is all that
can be done in polio. There are
two special aids. One is heat.
The other. movement of stricken
muscles. Both are Sister Elizabeth
Kenny's contributions and have

Philippines Face Loss
OF u. ). Dollar Aid as
Postwar Boom Fades
BY WiIIiom R. Mathews

MANILA, P. l., July %. (By
AirmaiD AS the great postwar
prosperity boom in the Philippines
tapers off. the Philippine govern
ment's honeymoon Is gradually
coming to an end. BY the end of
1851 at the fastest, the prospects
are that the billions of American
dollars that have been pouring in
will be reduced to comparative
trickle. The Filipinos will have
to reduce their purchases of
foreign goods, or make vast in
creases in their productivity, in
order to pay for them.
Since VI Day through 1948,
the total value of American aid,
loans and contractual payments
was approximately $1,000. .00o, 900.
Payments under existing programs
through 1851 will add another
$500. 900, 900. Wages of Filipino
civilians and American military
personnel will reach another
$500, 900, 900 for the period 1916
1851. Add another $500,000, 900
for military expenditures, and the
total will amount to approx
mately $4,000 100000 from Amer
tcan taxpayers.
Payments in U. S. Dollars.
After 1851, American expendi-
lures will amount to $55,000,000
for veterans benefits, s20,000,000
for the military, and possibly
$5,000,0 900 miscellaneous: a total
OF only s80,000,000 year.
The Importance of these pay
ments is that they are in Amer
lean dollars. After 1851, Philip
pine productivity will have to make
up the difference. And an in
crease of $3.50, 100000 a year is
not beyond the possibilities, but is
beyond the probabilities of what
the Filipinos will be able to do.
Sugar production is only one-third
restored, tobacco is only 40 per
cent restored, hemp only SIS per
cent. Only 20 to Is per cent OF the
gross land area is under cultiva-
ton.
The chances of Philippine econ
omy making up this deficit in
foreign exchange are remote.
Yet it will have to be made up,
either by loans from the United
States or by curtailment of Fill
pino buying. And political rever-
berations are almost certain.
Meanwhile. sign at one Of the
gates to Malacanan Palace, the
Philippine equivalent of our White
House, reads: Firearms forbid
den inside, deposit them here"
For along with Philippine inde-
pendence has come wave of law
lessness. And the government is
barely able to cope with it.
Holdups Occur in Daylight.
Manila newspapers almost every
day print stories of holdups in
broad daylight. Employment of
private guards for homes has be-
come q necessity for those who can
afford it. The Communicated
guerrilla "Huks" are merely one
aspect of the widespread break
down of law and order.
Lawlessness also prevails in
public life. Former Senator
Avelino.. now running as one Of
three candidates for the presi-
dency, was expelled from the
Senate for corruption. He does
not deny it. i
Another top Philippine politico
owns a great sports arena. He
was able to get bill through the
Philippine Congress giving him
tax exemption. Despite the fact
that the law deprived the govern
ment of 100000 pesos ($1 1000,
000 annually to this mans bene-
f1t, the heat turned on was strong
enough to compel the president
to sign the bill into law.
