Mr Johoson said Dr. Herbert T. Wagner, medical consultant for The National Foundation-March of Dim es and a principal gpeiAf at the meetfng. reported that headquar ters and local chapters are now supporting more Than 30 treatment centers for birth defects, arthritis and polio hi various sections of the country. The program involves a bout half the nation's medical sch ools as affiliates. "This means." said Mr. Johnson, That more and more children with these Crippling diseases can now receive complete medical care right in their home communities. I'm sure the American people will help uS expand this vita) program by supporting the March of Ditae* in January." In each center, Mr. Johnson ex plained. teams of medical and other specialists provide" comprehensive medical care and treatment to cor rect or limit crippling and disabil ity caused by birth defects, arth ritis and polio. Highlighting the Tuskegee meet ing, he said, were illustrated lec tures showing improvement of chil dren treated at March of Dimes financed centers. They were given by Dr. Blair E. Batson, director of the Special Treatment Center for birth defects at University of Mis sissippi Medical Center, Jackson, Miss., and Dr. Joseph Levinson, chief of the Special Treatment Cen ter for arthi Iw at Convalescent Hospital for Children, Cincinnati, Ohio. "Our volunteers are really en thusiastic about this new approach to patient care," Mr. Johnson said. "I think the public is becoming more aware of the enormous pro blems presented by these diseases. "Think of it," he added, 'one of every 16 babies comes into tbe wor ld with a significant birth defect, and there are thousands of child ren disabled by arthritis or rheu matic disease. In addition, millions of dollars in March of Dimes funds must still be used annually to aid paralytic polio victims of former years."

Artificial Legs . Of New Design Offered Veterans An artificial leg of revolutionary than research. Reveloped commer new design is being issued by the veterans. For above-knee amputees, the leg has a hydraulic knee mechanism which is designed to permit more graceful and efficient walking, with less energy, according to J. D. De Ramus, Manager of the North Car olina VA Regional Office. This is the first such artificial leg to become available for use other than research. Devolped commer cially by a Glendale, Calif., firm it was field-tested by the VA for about a year before .the agency be ?an general issue. As a result of the VA test, several design changes have been made by the manufacturer to overcome early difficulties that were encountered. Mr. DeRamus said the new leg has been issued by the VA to about 500 veteran-amputees, including the 100 who took part in the field test. Acceptance among this test group was very hieh. He said about 8,500 additional ve terans are potentially eligible to receive the device from the VA and eventually may get it on medical recommendation, as their artificial legs become outworn during the next few years. The new leg wil be proscribed by I VA physicians through 81 VA pros thetic teams, which are located in i every State, except Alaska, and in ! Pr-nto Rico. The hydraulic mechanism is in tended to provide a more natural gait at any of a wide range of walk ing speeds. Ankle and knee motions are coordinated to reduce walking effort. The hydraulic fluid is of the same composition as that used in the airplanes taken to the Arctic.
