covered and safe from flies or other
insects. Garbage should be tightly
covered and, if other disposal facili-
ties are lacking, it should be buried
or burned.
The National Foundation also list
ed the following symptoms of infan-
tile paralysis: headache, nausea or
upset stomach, muscle soreness or
stiffness, and unexplained fever.
Should polio strike in your family,
call a doctor Immediately. Early
diagnosis and prompt treatment by
qualified medical personnel often
prevent serious crippling.
The organization emphasized that
fear and anxiety should be held to
minimum. A calm, confident at
titude is conducive to health and
recovery. Parents, it said, should
remember that of all those striken,
90 per cent or more recover COM
pletely, while another 25 per cent
are left with only slight after eff
fects.
If polio is actually diagnosed,
contact the chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
serving your community. The chap
ter will pay that part of the cost
of care and treatment which patient
or family cannot meet.

Paralysis issued a list of precau-
tionary measures to be observed by
those in charge of children during
the epidemic danger period which
usually runs from May through
October, reaching its peak during
the hot, midsummer months. The
five easy-to-follow health rules for
children are:
/. Avoid crowds and places where
close contact with other persons is
likely.
2. Avoid over-fatigue caused by
too active play or exercise, or ir-
regular hours.
3. Avoid swimming in polluted
water. Use only beaches or public
pools declared safe by local health
authorities.
4. Avoid sudden chilling. Remove
wet shoes and clothing at once and
keep extra blankets and heavier
clothing handy for sudden weather
changes.
| 5. Observe the golden rule of per.
sonal cleanliness. Keep food tightly

International News At A Glance ---
CBy The Associated Press Monday. January 10. l948

Britain concentrated troops and Warships in the Mediterranean to- day while her cabinet apparently was considering the Palestine problem and how far she would go in a show of force in the tense Middle East.
 For the second time, Israel turn ed back a British protest against the downing of five British air craft over the Egyptian border area Fridya and retorted with her own protest against the landing of British troops at Aqaba, Trans Jordan port of the Red Sea.
 Britain's protest reserved the right to demand compensation for the lost planes and to "all possible subsequent action" British gov ernment sources said the next step may be a demand to the United Nations security council that Israeli troops stay within their boundaries and that the Is- rael government pay for the five planes.
 Israel rejected the British pro- test because it was not addressed to the Israeli government. Britain does not recognize Israel. In turn the Israelis protested to the United Nations that the presence of Bri tish troops at Aqaba "can have no purpose but to threaten ISrael'S territory in the southern part of the Negev.
 An Israeli military spokesman said at least two of the British planes were shot down Friday over Israeli territory.
 In Cairo an Egyptian foreign of- flee spokesman said Egypt has not asked Britain for assistance under he 1936-British-Egyptian treaty. Egypt will go on with scheduled armistice talks to end the Pales- tine war, spokesmen said.

Vote For President Deadlocks Special Session Senate
By James Hutcheson) Saturday. January 8. l949

JUNEAU, (P)-The Alaska Ter ritorial Senate, still deadlocked after eight votes in an attempt to elect a president, arranged a Sat urday meeting in efforts to get the special session fully under way.
 The House, meantime, after or ganizing and electing a speaker the opening day Thursday, was in recess over the weekend. The first Democratic taxation bills, in clud;ng income tax and property tax measures, were introduced as ways and means committee bills Friday and promptly referred back to that committee.
 Rep. Stan McCutcheon, Anchor age Democrat, is temporary com mittee chairman.
 Written by Atty. Gen. Ralph J. Rivers office, the income tax measure would provide an income tax on a basis of 10 per cent of what is paid the federal govern ment
 The property tax would provide for taxes upon all real property and improvements and personal property, at a rate of two percent of the true and full value thereof" "
 Attorney general Rivers said the property tax provision that half would be remitted for local school use, and would allow municipali- ties to reduce their own school levies and thereby keep the total levies against property in towns and cities at three per cent or less.
 The income tax bill specifically mentions airlines, trucklines and their employees, placing them in the same category as Shipboard workers. It also provides for en- ployers withholding from pay checks, similar to federal laws.
 Both measures would provide fines or jail sentences for willful violations. The property tax bill provides specifically for appeals from assessors rulings to the divi- sion assessment board and from there to the courts.

By The Associated PreSs)
 Britain accused Israel Saturday of shooting down five RAF planes in "unprovoked attacks" by Jew ish filerS Friday over Egyptian soil near the Palestine border.
 The Jews said they shot down five planes around Rafa and that four appeared to be British and the fifth Egyptian.

 Britain is allied to Egypt and TranS-J in mutual assistance pacts. She announced the dispatch of British troops to Aqaba, the TransJordan Red Sea port close to the scene of recent Palestine fighting.
