Canada S Peace Hone
Fixed on Conference
BY The Asseeiofed Press

PARIS. Jan. 13. Canada is
pinning her hopes for world peace
on a proposed conference of the
big powers to talk about the Far
East, Prime Minister Louis st.
Laurent said here tonight.
The Canadian chief of govern
ment told a news conference I'VE
hope the such a conference
would proceed to the settling of all
matters arising out of the Far
Eastern conflict"
The conference was proposed by
British Commonwealth prime min
listers at meeting in London
which ended yesterday.
The prime minister refused to
comment on his current talks with
the French. Canadian informants
said. however, that Mr.. st. Laurent
is discussing "a total agenda of
the world problems as they effect
Canada and France"

proved that the lung was good
and useful.
Stricken by polio, Mr.. Hoyt
was dying on Friday, September
13, 1929. He was smothering to
death, his breathing muscles
paralyzed. Physicians gave him
half an hour or so to live.
Lung" Was Only Chance.
Attending Mr.. Hoyt, then q
21-year-old Harvard University
senior, was DR.. S. D. Kramer
Sometime before, DR.. Drinkers
new machine had been tried on a
polio patient, but the patient had
died of pneumonia
DR.. Kramer decided that the
iron lung was Mr.. Hoyt's only
chance DR.. Drinker rushed to q
warehouse. got out the iron lung
perched it atop a taxicab, and
raced to Peter Bent Brigham
Hospital. DR.. w. L. Aycock of the
Harvard Poliomyelitis Commission
hurried over from his office across
the street to help set up the ma
chine. DR.. Drinker arrived just
as an ambulance brought in young
Hoyt.
He was barely breathing when
he was put in the machine. The
motor started, and the pressure
gauge needle f1ickered. Pumps
raised the air pressure inside the
alright chamber in which Mr..
Hoyt lay. Air was forced gently
from his lungs. Then the pressure
inside the machine fell. and air
rushed back into MIR. Hoyt's lungs
through his nose and mouth.
In a few moments, the iron lung
was pulsing rhythmically. Mr..
Hoyt fell asleep. exhausted from
the long hours of straining to
make his breathing muscles oper-
ate.
He lay in the lung for four
weeks. The machine never faltered
but DR.. Drinker had his own anx-
ious moments for the next few
days. wondering whether it would
keep on with its life-giving pulse.
Works for Insurance Firm.
Mr.. Hoyt was discharged from
the hospital just before Christmas
of that year. He now lives with
his family in Brookline, Mass, and
works for an insurance firm.
Since then iron lungs have
saved or helped thousands of vic
tins Of polio. and respiratory
diseases. The Nation has a supply
of some $3.50 iron lungs, ranging
from the 700-pound Drinker type,
made by several firms and costing

81 500 to $4,000 each, to portable
one pound chest plates.
All these lungs are represented
in seven strategic supply depots
maintained by the March of
Dimes, ready for dispatch any
where in the Country. In 1850,
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis sent, $50 lungs
to polio victims throughout the
Nation. Some needed the aid of
the lungs for only short lime,
others must get help for months
or years.
This year the lung is the symbol
for coin collectors in the 1851
March of Dimes.
There had to be a Barret Hoyt
first to demonstrate the lungs
value. For Mr.. Hoyt, that Friday
the 18th was my lucky day."
