Little's disease-so named from Dr.
William John Little, pioneer English
orthopedist, who first described the
condition in 1861.
But with that polio epidemic in
1916, the spark of medical curiosity,
to which mankind is indebted for
many advances in human welfare,
was beginning to burn. In Boston,
two physicians decided to investi-
gate further into this condition
From that beginning grew the body

FOR ONE OF THOSE Boston

Morgan Phelps pursued the elusive
trail with further work at Yale uni
versity, and 81 years later, he felt
that enough knowledge as to treat
ment and diagnosis had been devel-
oped for the opening of a training
center for doctors, therapists, teach
erS, medical social workers and
psychologists.
The spark that grew to bright
light of hope penetrated into the
homes of few parents. In Cali

up spontaneously in New York City.
In 1916 there were enough local
groups to form the New York state

Swiftly now more groups were
formed throughout the nation. They

In February, 1919, $4,000 people
assembled from the United States

to attend the first cerebral palsy

In the spring of 1919, a small
group of women proceeded to raise

sufficient amount had been raised
to launch the association.

The United Cerebral Palsy As
sociation, Inc, recently celebrated
Its first birthday. Probably never
before in Americas history has
national movement grown up as
spontaneously from parents as has
the united fight to conquer cerebral
palsy.
1t was born of their love and deter
mination that their stricken chill
dren should not share the tragic
fate similar children had suf-
fered since the beginning of time.
Despite all the progress in other
fields, cerebral palsy in the goth
century stood out as a battling
mystery even to most physicians
until a series of oddly-assorted
events suddenly turned the tide. The
three outstanding ones were a polio
epidemic, national radio program
and a small Informative pamphlet
issued by manufacturer of copper
kettles.
The polio epidemic was in 1916,
the nations worst. Into consulting
and waiting rooms of many physic-
ians surged parents with children
crippled by a type of paralysis.
Many a heart was broken, as doc
tors shook their heads after examin-
ing these children. Little or nothing
could be done. Since Biblical times
the palsied had been with us. Some

HOUSE HYSTERIA

Some Republicans and Dixiecrats in the House seem prepared carry their hatred of Secretary of State Acheson to the extremes of hystera. They nre drumming up drive to cut off Achesons salary after June 30 They wiling to go to the length of refusing to appropriate any State Department funds at all says the St. Louis StarTimes.
 It is difficult to conceive any action that could produce greater disunity at home, greater harm to the U. S. reputation abroad. To take such action would be forfeit all foreign policy for the sake of personal vengeance
 Just why Acheson has aroused such deep hatred difficult to decide He is charged with failure of the Chinese policy. But it was Gen. George c. Marshall not Acheson who set that policy. He is charged with failure of the Korean adventure at least failure to date. But it President Truman himself not Acheson who set the Korean policy.

Case History at Salta
(NeW York Times)


 Long before the Argentine dictatorship moved in on La Prensa it had been closing down one lesser known opposition newspaper after another In fact, it would appear that Peron worked up enough courage to seize South Americas most important daily only after he had successfully pracced his varying tech- nioues on the relatively minor victims. One of these was Fl Intrasigente of Sala, which had been termed the most outspoken opposition paper in rural Argen- tina. Following a long series of harassments, Fl Intrasigente finally closed in December l949 a- though it's dauntless publishers continued at least for while to run it off in mimeographed form
 The next thing we heard about Fl Intrasigente was last June when provincial deputy of the per onsta party Salta publicly asked for lifting of the ban naiveIy observing that such magnanlmlty on the part of the Government would demonstrate the political ethics of peronismo Three days later that deputy was expelled from the peronista bloc for his pains.
 And now this brief history comes down to the present. One of Fl Intrasgentes fomer publish CTS Martin Michel Torino, has been arrested The charge? He is charged with "disrespect" toward Peron himself, and is held under a medieval law (which in point of fact is less than two years od) making "disrespect" of Government officials criminal offense No one should really be surprised at Senor Torino's arrest As noted at the time Ell Intran- sigente was shut down in 1949 dictatorship cannot stand free press and every move against free press is in itself clear symptom Of dictatorship There is no reason to change that opinion in 1851
