V. S. TO KF.'I'l'RN MINK
WIIKKLING, W. Va - (AP) The
U. S. coal mines administration was
under orders today to return a
small West Virginia mine to its
owner after a federal judge ruled
the government's war emergency
power to seize it had lapsed even
before the formal end of hostilities.
In 1905 the United States drilled
new oil wells at the rate of 45
daily. In 1946 a new oil well was
started every 23 minutes on the
average.
24-hour law is attested to in a re
cent letter to Dr. Ellen Winston,
State commissioner of public wel
fare, from officials of the South
Carolina welfare department.
"Our 24-hour waiting period is
working within South Carolina,"
the letter states. "No license is
issued prior to the expiration of the
24-hour waiting period.
"It is our feeling, however, that
we need something more than just
a 24-hour waiting period. In fact,
there is a recommendation to the
General Assembly that a marriage
bill be enacted requiring a three
'day waiting period and also provid
ing for blood tests. We feel, how
ever, that It should go even further
than this, and that a physical exam
ination should be required along
with the blood test if such an act
is to accomplish the desired end."

Motor Rocks Girl's Bed
To Test Polio Theories
AP Newsfeatures
NEW YORK Ruth Van Kirk,
pretty 19-y ear-old-infantile paraly
sis victim, spends most of her wak
ing and sleeping hours in a bed
hooked up with an electric motor
so it oscillates like a slow-motion
playground teeter-totter.
"I'm so used to it now," she says.
I hardly ever notice the motion."
The bed moves 18 hours a day,
tipping first down at the foot and
up at the head, then down slightly
at the head and up at the feet. At
one end of the cycle, the foot of
Ruth's bed is five feet above the
floor. A minute and a half later,
half-way through the cycle, Ruth's
feet are about two feet oft" the
floor.
A relatively slight girl, Ruth
didn't stand much taller than five
feet in stocking feet before she got
sick 18 months ago.
Now, because of her own nearly
constant teetering in the see-saw
bed, doctors will uncover new clues
in the search for ways to reduce
the ravages of infantile paralysis
in others who may contract it.
This particular clue is being pur
sued at the New York Hospital
Cornell Medical Center as a result
of studies made during the war.
Those studies, made with conscien
tious objectors who volunteered to
spend months at a time in plaster
casts, showed that immobilization
of even completely well people for
several weeks resulted in nitrogen
and calcium losses and in harmful
changes in blood circulation.
But the evidences of physical
deterioration affecting muscle and
bone, the research men found, v. ere
less pronounced when the same
cast-bound subjects were in a teeter-totter
bed.
In 1946 the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis stepped into
the picture, and it was arranged
that the March of Dimes would
support further studies in which
New York Hospital and Cornell
University Medical College doctors
would see if some o. the harmful
efTects resulting from immobiliza
tion following severe poliomyelitis
might be reduced by use of the
rocking bed.
Ruth, then a patient in another
hospital, heard about the project
and volunteered. She has now com
pleted a month in the bed.
"Before the study started, I tried
to imagine what a rocking bed
would be like," Ruth says. "It nev
er occurred to me it would seem
like being in any other bed.
"But the only thing the rocking
really interferes with is writing."
At regular intervals, doctors and
nurses come in to the room and
make tests. At other times, Ruth
goes in a wheel chair to another
part of the Hospital to continue the
muscle re-education and physical
therapy program she started be
fore the rocking bed experiment
got underway.
"The only thing I ever noticed,"
she says, "is a slight shifting in
.weight. I've never slept better in
