Seasonal Wane Brings i.
Decrease in Polio Cases

The sharp decrease in resident
polio cases during the last week,
from IA the week before to 4 this
week. would seem to indicate that
the disease is definitely on the
wane, DR.. Carl C. Dauer, director
of the Bureau of Preventable Di-
seases. of the Health Department
reported yesterday.
DR.. Dauer said tabulation of
the cases reveals that five cases
were reported in June; 80 in July:
81 in August. and IS in September.
Three cases were reported prior to
June and four this month.
OF the four resident cases re-
ported last week only two were
paralytic. During the same Pc
riod last year the number of cases
reported for the first week in Oc-
tober were four. Thirteen non
resident cases were hospitalized
here last week.
The total number of cases re-
ported this year so far was 1872.
Last year at the same time 50
cases had been reported.
Twenty cases, resident and non-
resident. were discharged from
Childrens Hospital last week and
IL from Gallinger Hospital.

f1lcted heavy damage on United
Nations forces pushing from the
Pusan perimeter and the Inchon
landings.
2. The Navy reported discovery
of a field of about IS moored
mines north of the 38th Parallel
off the east coast of Korea. It
said American destroyers have
sunk two floating mines in the
same general area. The area was
described as east of Kosong but
there was no information as to
how far from shore the mines
were. One ship has been sunk and
two destroyers damaged by float
ing mines off Korea recently. A
spokesman said yesterday that
mines have been really bobbing
up" off Korea in the last few
weeks.
3. An Army spokesman said
there had been no decision on
establishing a military line across
the narrow neck of Korea ap-
proximately midway between
northern and southern borders of
North Korea. Such line would
put United Nations forces in con-
troll Of most of the populous in
dustrial and producing areas.
However, there was some specula-
ton that American and other
foreign troops might stop in mid
North Korea, leaving to the South
Koreans the job of hopping up
the Communists as far north as
the Manchurian border.
The defense budget planning
now is based entirely on what the
military planners feel the country
should have for security, in con-
trast to previous budgets based
on what 1t was believed the Ma
tion's economy could stand. How
ever. as one high official pointed
out. there is limit on what can
be spent by the military over
night in peacetime.
The intangible factor in the
money planning Is procurement
and how much time will be re-
quired before any of the items
purchased actually are delivered.

Imitation also complicates the pic
ture.
The present plans call for
build-up approximately as fol-
lows:
/. An Army of is million with
definite long range plans for 18
combat divisions.
2. An Air Force of from 65 to
50 groups during this fiscal year
with build-up to around 95
groups in three or four years.
3. A 1852 Navy of about 855, 900
men and GAL ships at sea.
4. A Marine Corps of two or
three divisions at full wartime
strengths. Chairman Vinson of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee, however, has said he would
press for a corps of 326, 900 men,
including four divisions and two
aviation wings of "a squadrons.
But one high official said yester-
day that the Navy had not come
up with suggestion for such a
big build-up of the Marines.

Jamaicans To
Fight Color Bar
In Tourist Hotels

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July s.
To eradicate the more sinister
system of subversive color dis
elimination in Jamaica Rose Aga
the Leon MIR of western st. An
drew, has announced the Inaugural
ton of a standing civil rights COM
mittee here, in addition to a notice
of motion which she has handed
in at the House of Representatives
for debate.
There had been rumors that Rose
and her husband Arthur, had been
barred from entering a Montego
Bay hotel, sometime near Easter.
But Arthur said that the rumor
was incorrect.
"The true position is that, we
have been told by colored visitors
to Jamaica, and local people as
well, that certain hotels in Montgo
Bay are barring colored guests.
We know of certainty that Sun
set Lodge hesitates more than
others to accept colored visitors"
said Arthur.
Following this interview, Rose
released statement on her pro-
posal to set up the committee. 1t
says:
'1n accordance with the motion
on color discrimination which | now
have before the House, of Repre-
sentatives, have decided to form
a standing civil rights committee,
comprising members of the House
of Representatives, and members
of walks of life who may be willing
to serve in approaching this most
vital subject from a sane and
broad minded point of view.
There is no gainsay in the fact
that this is burning question in
the minds of many and my con-
ception of the matter is that it
should not be expected to remedy
itself but, must be tackled by those
who are aware of its presence and
who knows the great damage it
can ultimately do

In his argument, Mr.. Royce also
declared, "These six innocent men
have been kept in Jail for two and
a half years because they are
Negroes. | say to your honors
that we never would have kept
white men there so long under the
same circumstances"
He cited Congressional debate in
1870 and 1871, when the Civil
Rights Statutes were passed, to
show that precisely the same
situation as that which occurred
last December in Mercer County
Court was intended to be protect
ed by Congress.
David w. Levinson, member OF
the Pennsylvania Bar, who also
argued for the motion, told the
court, "The six Negro defendants
want the counsel who saved them
from death, and no other lawyers.
They have faith only in these
lawyers"
