claims at the beginning of each five.
year plan usually have been in the
magnitude Of SO to rs per cent. The

roughly so per cent. which Is at least
a full half too optimistic.
Consistent HyperboIe
The other two sectors of the Soviet
economy which are included in the
five-year plans, retail sales and well
fare-cultural projects, depend largely
on how the agricultural targets are
met. AS a result. these categories

Mystery Disease
No One Knows How or Why Polio Strikes,
But Doctors Say Not to Get Ponicky
By John McKelwoy

It's like forest fire: Not raging
inferno which tears through the
forest unchecked, but flame which
is occasionally famed by a gusty
breeze and leaves the tender saplings
singed and the tall timbers Scared.
Then it almost burns itself out and
lies smoldering for many years.
Polio is like that.
It seems to sweep through certain
areas, leaving some crippled, a few
dead and many immune. Then the
menace eases and is not felt at full
strength again until new faces appear
in the community it once visited.
Polio also has an annual cycle. 1t
hits hardest between late August and
id-September. It waneS in late au-
tumn, but occasionally crops out
again throughout the year.
The disease is flickering through
the Washington area right now. 1t
is at its peak period for the year;
but. although the number OF cases
is mounting day by day. this does
not appear to be one of those years
when polio Is famed to soaring
flame.
No Epidemic Here
Late last week, 253 cases had been
reported in the Washington area.
Last year, at this time, 118 had been
reported.
In the District alone, seven cases
In one day jumped the total by Fri
day to 73. Last year there were 81
at the same time. During 1914. the
Districts worst year in polio. IL
deaths occurred. Two persons have
died so far this year.
To some parents, it would be the
worst year ever for polio. But doc
tor at Children's Hospital said.
"There should be no terror over polio
this year. It is not in the epidemic
stage in the Washington area. Epl-
denies exist only when about one
person in 1000 is stricken. It's about
Is per cent of that now.
Polio kills about three persons out
of each hundred it strikes. About
per cent of that hundred will be
severely crippled and face long up
hill fight to recovery. About Is per
cent will be somewhat injured, but
will recover after year, and about
60 to 65 per cent will walk out OF
the hospital completely recovered.
There are three known strains, OF
polio, Many persons have probably
had a mild attack without knowing
it. and scientists believe those per-
sons to be immune to one OF the three
viruses. theoretically, you can get
polio three times.
Hits Almost Every One
It's safe assumption, doctors
say, that many persons have virus
fighting antibodies in their blood
after mild attacks of polio. One prob
ability is that 80 per cent of all adults
have had polio at one time or
another. It is estimated that most
polio victims are between the ages
of S and 8 years-not more than Is
per ceAt are adults.
It is also estimated that for every
diagnosed case, there are 100 to 1000
persons who have the virus in their
systems without being i'll. So, some
doctors believe there must be q
healthy common carrier" of the vi
rus. It has been found that the
attacking virus destroys cells faster
than antibodies are produced, yet in
some persons it is believed that nat
ural antibodies are produced faster
and in greater proportion and can
whip the disease.

No other force on earth. either
natural or contrived by man. is the
equal in terrible violence to that
most elemental of disasters, the
earthquake. Like a restlesSly sleep
ing giant. the earth on which we live
is in almost constant motion. Occa-
Sionally the giant shifts position
abruptly, and death. destruction and
terror follow his convulsive move
ment.
A recent series of temblors, start
ing at Tehachapi in July and culmi-
mating in Bakersfield about 10 days
ago. killed at least Is persons. in
jured about IS more and did damage
that probably will be assessed even
tually at close to 500 million. Last
Friday night, Bakersfield was shaken
but not hurt by another shock. This
is far from unusual; indeed, it Is
characteristic Of earthquakes. After
a really bad one. there may be hun
dreds or even thousands Of minor
after shocks over period Of year
as the earth, so to speak, slips back
into place.
Yet these recent shocks are CLASH
fled as moderate-a clue to how
brutal the force of the earth in con-
vulSion can be. When really severe
quake strikes populated AREAS
happened in Lisbon in 1855, Messina
in 1908 or Japan in 1923-the loss
in life and property can be almost
incalculable. The 1923 Tokyo dis
aster, including the fire that fol-
lowed the quake, took more than
100000 lives and did billions of dol
lars of property damage. And this
quake was not the most severe on
record-simply the most carefully
documented.
California Most Affected
California, where the latest quakes
occurred, is the area most affected
by temblors in this country. The
San Francisco earthquake Of April
18, 1906, in which more than 500
persons died and four square miles
were devastated by shocks and fire,
was the most severe ever recorded
in the United States.
One reason why California is more
subject to quakes than other parts
of the country can be found in the
geology of that State. Two great
geologic faults lie athwart California.
When interior pressures in the earth
force something to give. the "give"
comes more often along these lines
than anywhere else.
The San Francisco tragedy was
ascribed to q shift in the San An
dreas fault, centering perhaps 80
miles southwest Of San Francisco
in the Pacific Ocean. The latest
series, in the Southern San Joaquin
Valley of California, resulted from
o shift in the Garlock fault, which
lies inland, southeast Of the San An
dreas line. Major faults Of this type
are not in evidence in the Eastern
part of the United States; conse-
quently, bad earthquakes are vir-
tually unknown in the East, and even

can be stopped by these means. Just
before he left for Atlanta, Arnall
said: IT am sorry to have to say
that think Secretary Sawyer's views.
and those Of others who believe az
he does, are the product Of wish
full thinking. I do not think it will
be possible to avoid an important
impact on our national economy,
conditions being as they are. I do
not think the indications are that
there will be no pyramiding Of prices.
"With all the money there is in
circulation today, I cannot place
much hope in possible buyer strikes
as a means of keeping prices down.
Nor do think the fear of them will
prevent professors from trying to
shove prices up.
"On my desk are between 5000 and
1000 requests for ceiling price in

steel rise was announced. The re-
quests come from applicants in SO to

individual plants.

Applications for price boosts have

ice cream, cosmetics, cereals and
radio and television tubes (radio and
TV sets have just been freed from

for price increases include auto re-
pairs, laundry, dry cleaning and

Arnall considers the present price,

thinks that the recent so per cent

while all the remaining stats took
serious cutbacks-would, make it
difficult to enforce any price control

September PIons
Although Tighe Woods, the new
price administrator, says he does not
expect to enter actively into any i'm
portant decisions until he has time
for a good look around, the Office Of
Price Sterilization has a number Of
plans which will be carried out dur
ing September. One of them is q
survey Of prices at the community
level. especially food items. The sur
vey starts in about two weeks. Tex
tile products and shoes are also being
studied for possible suspension Of
controls. All of these moves, Of
course, are part of plan that was
worked out before Woods was
called in. -e.
Republican comment in Washing
ton was not too vocal because Of the

The only public utterance was q

be able to prevent an increase In the

leading the fight for a strong plank.
He said these forces were led "by

Submitted Plank at Hearings
A proposed nine-point civil
rights plank was submitted by Mr..
White and team of outstanding
Americans representing organiza-

at hearings conducted last week by
the platform committee. The Lead
ership Conference has also main
tanned civil rights headquarters at
the Conrad Hilton Hotel through
out the convention, and has dis
tributed among committee members
and other delegates a pamphlet
called What the Negro Wants in

also distributed printed copies of
its proposed platform plank.
