1. Many critically paralyzed
patients, who in former years
would have died, now survived be-
cause of improved care and treat
ment.
2. Polio is attacking more adults
and a higher percentage of these
patients suffer severe paralysis.
while many of the new polio
patients requiring iron lungs and
other breathing aids this year will
need them only for a few days or
weeks, many will become long
term prisoners of their iron lung.
They will join the almost 1000
respirator patients from previous
years whose horizons are still linn
tied to their six-by-three-foot ma
chimes. These polio prisoners must
not waste away their lives depen-
dent on mechanical breathing to
keep them alive.
Fortunately, improved techni-
ques of treatment and rehabilita-
ton have been developed - large
ly through March of Dimes grants
that now offer real hope of free
ing the majority of such respira-
tor patients. But it is an expensive
process and more funds are urgen-
tly needed to do the job" DR.. Lam
dauer emphasized.
Soaring treatment costs for
such long-term polio patients have
done much to exhaust March of
Dimes funds this year. This is a
major reason why an Emergency
March of Dimes must be held Aug.

SO far this year and thousands
more will need these breathing
machines to keep them alive be-
fore the end of the year.
This was disclosed today by DR..
Kenneth S. Landauer, assistant
medical director of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis, in explaining ''one of the under

paign which will run until Aug. 81.
DR.. Landauer, revealing that the
percentage of severely paralyzed
patients had been increasing dur
