EDITORIAL
NEW LIGHT ON AN
OLD WARNING

The year 1860 ranks among the
lowest in polio incidence in the past
z years, reports the Public Health
Service.
But during the year 1860 the cost
of repairing polio-ravaged lives will
remain high, reports The National
Foundation.
The reason for this state of affairs,
the March of Dimes organization
points out, is that the physical damage
caused by polio often takes long
years to repair.
Even though there were only an
estimated 300 new polio cases in
1860, there were still about 10000
polio patients, most of them stricken
in previous years, who needed finan-
cial aid to continue their rehabilita-
ton.
And these statistics are a powerful
way of stating again a simple, direct
appeal: Get your Salk shots now.
Don't let polio knock you out for 10
years, for IS years, perhaps for the
rest of your life. Don't let polio
interrupt your plans for school, for
career, for marriage. Don't let
polio deVastate your life.
For statistics bear out another
warning of The National Foundations
Even though the Salk vaccine has
sharply reduced polio cases, polio
continues to strike among the I'M
Vaccinated. This fact was reflected
in the reports of polio flareups this
past summer and fall from Rhode
Island, western New York and Puerto
Rico. In these areas, polio struck,
leaving ruined bodies and wrecked
lives. And reports from health Off
Gals bore the tragic sentence: Patient
has not received Salk shots"
Right now is the time to start your
series of SaIk shots if you have not
already done SO. Don't wait for the
live-viruS vaccine. A live-viruS vac
cine has been found suitable for use
in the United States but it may not
be ready in time for the next polio
season. Don't wait for anything
Start your Salk shots Immediately
while you still ha> that most precious
posseSSion-your good health
And right now is the time for one
other vital thought, January is March
of Dimes month. The dimes and
dollars you've given over the years
have helped develop the Salk Killed
virus" polio vaccine and the Sabin
'Live-virus' polio vaccine. The dimes
and dollars you give from now on
will be fighting on two other i'm
portant frontS-birth defects and
arthritis-in addition to polio.
Remember: You paid for the
development of the Salk vaccine.
Why not be smart enough to use it,
now that it's available?

ber Of limited war forces could
some day be increased. For
instance, if it becomes neces-
Sary to help Wet Nam with
large numbers of American SOL
diers, then both the Army,
Navy and Air Force might be
increased in size.
1t would probably take more
than a one-division American
force in Wet Nam to warrant
a buildup, however, since the
two Marine and three Army
divisions assigned now to the
Pacific Command could handle
the job without help.
While opposed to a sharp
limited war buildup at this
time, Pentagon planners dc
want to be in a position to
increase forces quickly in time
Of emergency. The best way
to do this, they believe, is to
improve our mobilization base
for limited war, rather than
expand our forces in being.
This might involve some re-
shaping of reserve forces, some
stockpiling of weapons (most
World War II Army weapons
are still good for non-nuclear,
limited war; and development
of new weapons in the small
number of cases where SUBJ
stantial improvements can be
made in existing conventional
arms.

after getting a tip he was in
town.
Mr.. Howard said Payne was
given three additional years for
his break.
Release Mandatory
Back in prison, Payne ap-
parently accumulated good
time" constantly. This means,
Mr.. Howard explained, that he
did not violate any of the prison
rules.
Since he was sentenced to a
maximum of more than 10
years, he accumulated 10 days
off for each month that was
good"
Thus on September 9, 1860,
Payne was released from Lewis
burg on what parole authorities
called a mandatory release" Z"
This differs from a parole
only in the sense that he was
not recommended for release
but had to be released by law
at that time because he had &C
cumulated enough good time.
"The best prisoner sometimes
makes the worst citizen" Mr..
Howard said.
By law, Payne. still had to
report to parole authorities.
and apparently he was not in
any trouble for not showing UP.
Payne still owes time up to
1865, Mr.. Howard indicated.

charged by police with taking
part in this weeks rapes and

Juvenile records show he was

and charged with unauthorized
use of an auto, and was sent to
the Cedar KnollS detention

picked up on October %, 1860.

Ronald K. Payne, accused
rapist and robber, was released
from a Federal penitentiary
last September for good be-
havior."
What makes his release even
more ironic is the fact that,
while serving a 5-to-15-year
sentence in LewiSburg Federal
Penitentiary, he broke out in
August, 1855, and evaded cap
ture until May, 1856.
Payne-whose record goes
back to 1943 when he was 13
years old-was charged by po-
lice today in the rape and
robbery of two women in a
Brightwood store on Wednes-
day.
Police and parole board rec
ords show that Payne was
arrested for the 18th time on
March 2, 1948, on three diff
ferent charges of robbery with
force and violence.
The records show that he had
held up a cab driver and then
taken the car to a service sta
ton, where he was wounded in
attempting a holdup.
Murray Remembers
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray said today that he remem-
bered helping to arrest Payne
in 1948. At that time, Chief
Murray was assistant chief OF
detectives.
District Court sentenced
Payne in April, 1948, on two
counts of robbery. Each SEN
tence was for S to is years, to
run concurrently.
George w. Howard, deputy
chief probation officer for the
District, said Payne was sent
to the Federal Prison Camp at
Allenwood, Pa, part Of Lewis
burg.
He never was paroled, Mr.
Howard said, and on August g.
1855, broke out Of the camp.

buildup of non-nuclear, limited
war forces without a reduction

Current View
Top Pentagon officials be-

is one a bigger Army and Navy
would not help to meet.
In Southeast Asia, for in
stance, it is believed now that
the actual fighting must be
carried out by small numbers
Of American paramilitary
forces, by the troops Of our
SEATO allies and by local
forces in the country under
attack.
There should be additional
American participation in eco
nomic, political and psyche

diers should train local troops,
it is felt, but no increase in
overall American force levels is
required.
The increase in American
paramilitary forces will num-

The Army was given an addi-
tional 5000 men in the new
Kennedy budget request, about
5000 of them for paramilitary
operations. It has been told
to regard the increase in total
strength as temporary, and to
try to find a 5,000-man reduc-

There now are nearly 1000
reserve corps members. The
corps was set UP in 1948 and
police officials now are au-
thorized to assign members to
duties only during emergencies

is needed, Mr.. Tobriner said, to
expand the city's authority to
use these reservists for the
regular patrol work.
