this week end, the MasSachu-
sets Senator was reported to
have m a de definite progress
toward corralling most of Penn
sylvania's important 81 votes.
There are two strong men in
the Pennsylvania delegation
and one of them, Representa-
tive William j. Green, jr., Of
Philadelphia, was reliably re-
ported to be urging the other,
Gov. David L. Lawrence, to
come out for Senator Kennedy
before the Pennsylvania delega-
ton caucuSes here Monday
morning.
Signs of Break
Off1cially, the delegation is
still uncommitted, and Mr..
Green has made no public
statement. But the reports Of
his plea to Gov. Lawrence were
regarded as the first sign of a
break in Pennsylvania's neutral
position.
Another sign came today from
Philadelphia when Andrew M.
Bradley, a conf1dante of Gov.
Lawrence and a delegate at
large to the convention, said he
felt the State delegation was
leaning to Senator Kennedy.
Mr.. Bradley, State secretary
OF supplies, commented before
leaving for Los Angeles, 1T
looks like Kennedy to me-" said
Mr.. Bradley, who heretofore
has hewed to the neutral line
advocated by Gov. Lawrence.
Gov. Lawrence may not show
his hand until the Monday
caucus, and until then hackers
OF Senators johnson of Texas,
Symington Of Missouri and Ad-
olai Stevenson will continue to
hope for a wide-open contest.
But if most of Pennsylvania
votes go to Senator Kennedy on
or before Monday, there will be
little if any chance left to pre-
vent the Kennedy bandwagon
from rolling to victory.

March Of Dimes
Aids Thousands
OF Patients

The National Foundation during
1863 continued to support patient
care for thousands of victims of
polio and inaugurated special pa
tient aid program for victims of
birth defects and arthritis.
Since 1898 total of $314,8OO,-
600, derived from March of Dimes
Contributions, has been spent on
polio victims, spelling survival for
some and for many others a re-
turn to normal living.
Epidemics and outbreaks dur
ing the past polio season, as in
Des Moines, Kansas City, Tonnes
see, Washington and Virginia, have
added many new patients to the
rolls, so that over $4,000 victims
are still being assisted. Support Of
the New March of Dimes in 1860
will enable The National Founda-
ton to broaden it's patient aid.
In the area of birth defects, aid
is offered to patients under 10
with the birth defects of open
spine, open skull and water on the
brain. Some of these defects can
be corrected by surgery. Many
will require extensive physical
therapy and rehabilitation. 1t is
estimated that 5000 of these suf-
ferers with birth deefcts may seek
medical care annually.
In the area of arthritis, aid is
offered to patients under 10 with
rheumatoid arthritis. Included are
Stills disease, a severe form of
juvenile arthritis.
This patient aid program rep
resents first steps in arthritis and
birth defects and a continuation
of The National Foundations work
in polio. 1t is already backed up
by research in scores of labora-
tories, and by the training and
teaching of tomorrow's medical
professionals in centers across the
nation.
