Dashing men in uniform and
exotic Latin women were to be
seen all over the garden of the
Brazilian Embassy last night
when the Ambassador and Nine.
Muniz entertained at a reception
for four visiting Brazilian gen.
erals.
The cocktail-hour affair also
honored some II visiting agricul-
ture specialists from Brazil, who
have been here since June 10
consulting with the Foreign OPP
erations Administration, the De-
partment of Agriculture and
other authorities sponsoring
their visits.
The party was an opportunity
for Nine. Muniz to say fare
well to many Of rer friends, since
she sails tomorrow for Brazil and
will not return to Washington
until September
IT am so excited at the thought
of seeing my three grandchil-
dren," she said, "and I have been
having such fun shopping for
presents for them I confess !
love your ten-cent stores here
all those wonderful little things
to buy and so many different
thingS!"
Friendship Stressed
OF the visiting generals, Octa-
VIC da Silva Paranhos. Nelson de
Mello, Oswalio de Araugo Motta
and Jayne de Aimeida, only the
latter spoke English. but ex-
pressed for his colleagues their
great pleasure to be in America.
Brazil and America are such
old and good friends we have all
looked forward to this visit" Gen.
de Almeida said. 1--WE expect to
be here about two weeks touring
your various Army installations
and observing American equip
ment and methods Of trainings"
With such a diversified group
present conversation frequently
shifted from things military to
agricultural matters. Unfortu-
nately, none of the visiting spe-
cialists happened to be coffee
experts, so there was no flnal
word on "How high will the price
Of coffee CO."
Venturing opinions. the agri-
culturists said they didn't think
there was much hope for the
price to go down since this years
coffee crop had been badly dam
aged by frost. And subtly sabo-
tagging the drink milk" cam
paign here. the Brazilians said
they didn't think switching to
milk would make much differ
ence with such a terrible short
age.
The only words of consolation
they had to offer the American
housewife was that in Brazil
coffee was even more expensive
than here.
Hundreds Attend
Among the several hundred
guests who attended the party
was the well-known novelist
Frances Parkinson Keyes, who
is here enroute from Spain to
Louisiana. Her latest book came
out several weeks ago, and she
says another one is on its way"
From the diplomatic set were
the Ambassador of Uruguay and
Sonora de Mora, looking very
chic, and Brazil's delegate to the
Organization of American States,
Ambassador Lobo and his wife.
Others were the new Brazilian
naval attache and Nine. Alves

Polio Patients Still in Need
Of Dimes Aid Sets Record

A new and tragic record was
set when 1854 started with the
largest number of polio patients
ever reported who still required
March of Dimes aid in paying
treatment costs. On Jan. i, some
$1,000 polio victims stricken in
1858 or previous years were re-
ceiving such help from March of
Dimes funds. This is the longest
list of carry-over patients in his
tory.
Continued high polio incidence
rates year after year have re-
suited in each year starting with
a greater number of "old" cases
than the year before. At the be-
ginning of 1858, there were $4,000
cases from earlier years, while
1852 started with a patient load
of As, 900 "old" cases.
Long-term Lung Patients
Some of these are longtime iron
lung patients; others still require
regular physical therapy while
some need orthopedic surgery to
restore use of their crippled limbs.
A survey made in March of last
year revealed that 90 per cent of
longterm respirator patients had
polio before January of 1858.
Ne polio patient who can bene-
at frsm further treatment ever
is refused aid by the National
Foundation, regardless of when
the disease struck. Four patients
who received March of Dimes as
sistance in 1858 nad mad polio
back In the 1905. Also, II per
cent had had the initial onset of
the disease at least five years be-
fore.
However, new techniques of
treatment are constantly being
developed through March of
Dimes research and training pro-
grams, so new hope often can be
given to "old" cases. Patients once
considered hopelessly crippled
have been enabled to work again.
This is one extra dividend of the
dimes you give.
No Forgotten Men
The National Foundation and
Its 3,100 chapters have pledged
that there will be no forgotten
men" on the roster of polio vic
tins. AS q result, the March of
Dimes pays more hospital bills
than any other voluntary health
organization supported by public
contributions.
Since the patient aid program
started, the National Foundation
has spent $174,000,000 for this
purpose alone. This is 68 per cent
