In "a to 70 hours, the tests
lcan show whether a person is
harboring polio virus In his body
before it has started invading
nerves. This knowledge might
give time to use gamma globulin
or a vaccine to protect the
nerves, or to warn q person to
take it easy to avoid serious
nerve damage.
The tests also might be used
to learn which people already
have antibodies against one or
all three types Of polio virus.
This could pinpoint those who
needed a shot Of gamma globulin

If present plans are worked

Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee yesterday
gave a push to the idea Of joint
hearings early next year.
Just back from an Armed

one to Alaska, he said he favors
joint study of the District
revenue problem.
He said he has been informed
leaders of the House District
COMMITTEE also have indicated
they think well of joint hear
ingS.
Involved are questions of the
inadequacy of present revenues
to meet the needs, how to finance
the big public works programs,
the proper size of the Federal
payment and added District
taxes.
Senator Case said he Is con-
WINGED a joint committee attack
on the problem offers various
advantages. It would save time
for both committeeman and Dis
trict officials, he said, and would
give the same data to House and
Senate Committees at the same
time. e
He said he has been reluctant
to push for joint hearings be-
cause, as a former veteran in
the House, he realized there was
a feeling in the House that Sen
ators might dominate joint
hearings.
Under such a plan, however
each side acts Independently in
reporting its own bill. In recent
years, joint hearings have been
the general practice on District
