in use at both hospitals combined.
Four additional hot pack mach

Just as acute was the need for
more doctors and nurses. All-told,
SO trained nurses, 4 resident ply
sicians and seven physical thera-
pists were recruited by NIP for
the Vlcksburg polio center.
To relieve congestion and give
long-term additional treatment,
80 colored patients were transfer

Tuskegee Treatment Center in
Alabama. These were arranged
by the State Office of NIP, as
were the transfers of a number of
white patients to Warm Springs,

For long-term respirator cases
there is the nearby Respiratory
Center at Houston, Texas, main

eral Mississippi respirator cases
have been transferred by plane
this year.
A discharge from the hospital
still may mean there is a long
road ahead for the patient who
must return for periodic checkups
to the hospital.
The cost of all this patient care
has been staggering. Since 1916
the figure has run annually over
a quarter of million dollars until
this year when it has mounted
upwards of 100000.
For the last months of 1851,
NIP chapters in Mississippi

then, headquarters has paid a to-

500 of the MOD patient care cost

IN 1891. With total of 1913 cases,
the polio incidence nearly doubled
over that of any previous year.
AS never before, the question of
what facilities are available for
polio treatment in Mississippi has
become of vital Importance to
many. AS recently as 1887, when
Mississippi had 352 cases of the
dread crippler, poliomyelitis, the
state was helpless so far as pro-
viding hospital care for these pa
tients and many needlessly Grip
pied and deformed children re-
suited.
Today, the picture is far diff
ferent one. In 1916 the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
through March of Dimes funds,
in cooperation with the Lutheran
and Mercy Hospitals in Vicksburg,
established a polio center employ
ing the most modern and advanc-
ed methods for treatment and re-
Mobilization of polio patients.

hot-packs applied in the Kenny
method, heat diathermy, electro

patients life and to aid his re-

with polio now recover complete

Foes Of UNIT Expected
10 Focus Fire on Plan
10 Start Il Slowly
By George Beveridqe

Opponents Of universal military
training this week are expected to
concentrate their fire on new pro-
|posals to start UNIT on a limited
basis this year with about 10000
|18-.vear-old volunteers.
Beginning tomorrow, the House
Armed Services Committee will
hear representatives OF about 20
organizations on the controversial
LEGISLATION. While some witnesses
will be strong UNIT proponents
the group win include the most
bitter critics Of any form OF uni
Iversal training.
Approved by Pentagon.
Defense Department leaders
last week put their official stamp
of approval on the volunteer pro-
posal, which earlier was made
public by Chairman Vinson of the
House Committee. The Pentagon
officials explained that current
imanpower needs make a full-scale
UNIT program impossible for the
present, but that the limited pro-
posal would put into operation a
UNIT program which could be
Expanded gradually.
Congress already has approved
the principle Of UNIT and the
administration could initiate a
limited program if Congress
passes supplementary legislation
now before the House group.
A blast at the Pentagon's new
proposals came yesterday from
the National Council Against Con-
scription in a 40-page booklet
circulated to all members of Con-
gress.
The council, headed by DR..
Harry Emerson Fosdick as honor
ary president. charged that the
basic aim of UNIT is militaristic
dominance over the minds of the
Nations youth. ...
Arguments Denied.
The council report denied argu-
ments used by UNIT proponents.
starting out by disagreeing that
this country is "unprepared." It
said the proposal works on the
theory that "war is inevitable"
and leaves no room for policies to
eliminate the conditions of pow
erty or the sources of hatred like
imperialism upon which both
communism and Soviet foreign
policy thrive"
UNIT, the report said, would
drastica.ly change the character
of our democracy and virtually
destroy the chances of preventing
a third world war"
Meanwhile. the Senate Armed
Services Committee is expected to
open its own hearings on UNIT
within the next few weeks, cover
ing virtually the same ground as
that now before the House group.

Felicia Rybier Louded
For Piano Concerto
By EIeno de Soyn

Felicia Rybier, resident pianist.
rose to heretofore unprecedented
heights in her performance of
Saint Saens' Concerto in G
Minor" in the Phillips Gallery
yesterday afternoon. It was mag
nificently played with the assist
ance of Perry Thew at the second
| piano.
It is not customary to include a
piano concerto in a recital pro-
gram. The wealth of music in the
piano literature and the scarcity
of first-class collaborators compel
artists to seek other forms of
composition to climax their con-
certs. A departure from the regu-
lar course brought out Nine. Ry-
bier's special gift and proved to
be one of the most interesting in
novationS of the season.
The playing of a concerto with
orchestra requires a special type
of tone production which could
carry the solo part against all
odds of superior volume. Mime.

Thanks Given for Theater.
The prelate expressed apprecia-
ton Of the archdiocese to Fred
Kogod, former owner, and Jack
Bernheimer, present owner of the
Senator Theater, for it's use for
worship eight years until the new
church was built.
The Very Rev. John P. McCor-
mick. rector of the Sulpician
Seminary at Catholic University,
praised Father Brooks and his
parishioners for their work. He
also pointed out that today marks
Archbishop O'Boyle's fourth an

Rybier's touch was admirably
suited for the style and nature
lof the work. Truly masculine in
power, her tone was sonorous and
strong in chords and rapid scale
work as 1t was scintillating where
lightness was required. Abundant
temperament and energetic drive
did the rest.
instruments Fused As One
No less remarkable was the work
of her partner at the second piano
Mr.. Thew's performance can be
commended for more than one
feature. The superlative fusion of
the two pianos in rhythm and en-
Semble was such as to suggest
one instrument. There was no in
security in striking heavy chords
together, nor was there any hesi-
fancy or tagging of one behind the
other. His playing had the artistic
firmness of an orchestra and the
give and take supplied by a good
conductor. Noteworthy also was
his imitation of the timpani roll
in the glittering "Scherzo," his
playing of the theme. and of the
background elaborated upon by
the soloist.
The conventional numbers pre-
ceding the concerto included
Handels Harmonious Black
smith," Bach's "Chromatic Fan
tasy and Fugue." four mazurkas
by Chopin. his "Ballade, in A Flat,
op. At" and "Scherzo C Sharp
Minor. op. &c." Rozychi's Three
Polish Dances" and Chajes'
"Palestinian Melodies" played
here for the first time, hardly re-
lieved what seemed a sameness
of fare on the interpretative side
Mime. Rybier is at her best in
larger forms of compositions than
those which require subtle nuance
and the art of making small tone
poems of each. She was in her
element in the concerto-poised
secure and authoritative from be-
ginning to end.
Toba Brill Debuts Here.
Toba Brill of New York made
her local debut in the National
Gallery of Art last night. The
young pianist disclosed an accom-
Iplished technique and a good
schooling in Mozart's "Fantasie'
and in two etudes by Mendelssohn
which she played charmingly. The
second showed her remarkable
If1eetness of fingers and delicacy
Iof execution.
However, here ended her ar
tistic restraint. She used force in
ISchubert's "The Wanderer" Fan
TASTE most unjudiciously. It's
pounding character marred her
performance in which the COM
positions relation to the famous
song was completely lost. The
same style of playing applied to
Chopin's "Barcarolle" and to one
Of the two preludes played, COM
bined with technical imperfections,
gave the impression that Miss
Brill was indulging in sorority to
disguise the lack of accuracy with
no consideration given to inter-

Summer Arrives:
So Does Heat

In spite of the recent heat wave,
today, June 81, marks the first daI
of summer.
For those interested. here is a
little information as to the why 5
and wherefore's of the season.
In the months of March and
September, the earth's axis is at
right angles to the direction of the
sun and in these months, days and
nights are equal all over the
world.
In June, the North Pole is tilt
ed % degrees o. toward the sun.
This makes the days in the north
ern hemisphere longer. The heat
ing influence of the sun increases
accordingly and since the heat re-
ceived by day is in excess of that
lost by night, the days become
hotter and hotter. 1t is not until
July and August that maximum
temperature is reached.
So if you've been fussing about
the heat, you'd better save your
breath. You'll have more to com
plain about during the coming two
months.
