7 TITLE JOHNNY, well call him, was born
IL three years ago to parents Of moderate
circumstances.
At birth. Johnny, to all appearances. was a
normal, healthy baby. It was not until some
months later that Johnny's parents suspected that
all was not as it should be. Medical examinations
later disclosed that Johnny was a victim Of
cerebral palsy.
Johnny's parents, like most parents. knew
little about cerebral palsy. To them, Johnny's
condition was a dreadful catastrophy They
thought he would remain a hopeless cripple,
retarded in mind and body, the subject Of shame
and pity.
The attitude Of Johnny's parents is different
now. Through the terrible experience Of having
an afflicted" child, they have learned a good
deal about cerebral palsy.
They have learned. for example. that it has
no stigma. It is not inherited, and while 1t is
incurabe, its effects often may be mitigated, and

PARIS. Mar. 20 (Pl.-The De-
Tense Ministry has ordered an in
quiry into charges that the

Pravda reported from Warsaw
yesterday that national COM
munism" forces originally per-
sonif1ed by Wladyslaw Gomulka
are being steadily eliminated in
Poland.
The dispatch in the Soviet
Communist Party organ painted
a picture of a sweeping party
directed drive in the neighbor-
ing Communist country for closer
ties with the Soviet Union.
1t said ''revisionism'-the
name the Kremlin gives to de-
Walton from the Moscow dc
tated party line--and other SUBJ
versive influences are being laid
low.
When Polish Communist
Party Chief Gomulka came to
power last october he promised
that Poland would set its own
course independent Of the Krem-
lin. He ousted Stalinist leaders
who placed their first loyalty
to Moscow from the top party
leadership.
Lately. however. the Polish
Communists also have cam
paigned against the party liber-
ais who advocated national
communism" and some Kremlin
followers have come back to
