Truman Candidate For Arkansas Governor Is Defeated

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, (P) - Gov. Sid McMath, a political pal of President Truman, was de- feated for third term nomina- ton yesterday by a one-time col lege classmate, Judge Francis Cherry.
 It was apparent early as re- turns from the runoff Democratic primary poured in that McMath had suffered the first setback in his rapid six-year political rise.
 McMath was the second Tru- man-backed Democrat to be de- feated within the last two weeks. Last week J. E. Taylor, the Presi- dents choice for the Democratic nomination for US. senator from Missouri was beaten by Stuart Symington.
 Cherry, a 43-year-old Chancery court judge, is a newcomer to state politics with a new political weapon-the radio talkathon on which he answered questions from all corners and discussed issues for as long as A hours at a time.

Maryland's top health officer,
DR.. Robert H. Riley. was optimistic
today about the polio situation in
Prince Georges County, even
though it has reached serious
proportions.
This is the season." DR.. Riley
declared, 'for many intestinal ill
nesses sometimes mistaken for
polio"
Past records, he asserted, show
that many cases at first reported
as polio later are diagnosed as
other illness. Such may be the
case this year, he explained.
County Health Department rec
ords so far this year list Al polio
caSes-as much as double the
number for the corresponding
time in other years. At this time
last year, there were II. Two years
ago, there were %.
II the present rate holds up,
the polio total for 1852 may set a
new all-time record for Prince
Georges County. The seasons
IIpeak, based on past performances,
is still ahead.
But, according to DR.. Riley, this
total may not be accurate. He
pointed out that yearly totals
originally announced within the
county later were drastically re-
duced. He cited these examples:
Last year the county reported
80 cases. The State Health De-
partment, of which DR.. Riley is
the director, lists only "a. In 1850
the county had 70 cases; the
State listed only %. For 1949 the
county reported so cases and this
was cut to IS by the State. In
1948 there were 43 reported to the
county, with this being dropped to
13 in the final analysis.
The State Health Departments
Bureau of Vital Statistics lists
1914 as the biggest year with 68
cases. Other State totals for the

include for 1947, SO in 1916, %
in 1945 and only l in 1943.
The County Health Department
has no records beyond 1948, hav-
ing turned them over to the State.
DR.. Riley said many physicians,
on preliminary examination, dag
nose an illness as possible polio,
when actually it is something else.
The reason, he said, is that polio
symptoms are similar to those of
other diseases. All doctors, he
added, are required by State law
to report Immediately on all
suspected communicable diseases.
The State health director
blamed personal contact as the
basis for most polio cases. He
ruled out the sewage possibility.
Il don't take any stock in re-
ports it comes from sewage" he
related. II like to get rid of bad
sewage but don't expect to prevent
polio by spending money in that
direction"
