Controlling Polio
Research workers at Johns Hopkins
and Yale University have reported
to a medical conference held in New
York that they may have the an
swer to win the fight against infan
tile paralysis.
Their theory is that polio is a two
stage disease and that during the first
stage, the polio virus is in the blood
stream but that it is relatively harm
less. Paraylsis is the result in the
second stage when the virus attacks
the nerves.
The researchers believe that a great
many people, have the first stage
, polio without even realizing it, and
that a serum made from the blood of
these persons will immunize others
against second stage polio.
This theory will be tested this sum
mer by the National foundation for
Infantile Paralysis in the polio-epi-demis
areas. If the tests prove suc
cessful, polio should hereafter be con
sidered one of the most readily pre
ventable diseases. '
The importance of finding a meth
od of combatting Snfantile paralysis
is strikingly brought to the atten
tion of- each' of us by the fact that
about 30,000 persons have been strick
en by this disease during each of the
past several years, and from five to
eight per cent of those so stricken die

though New York is not the first city
to consider such s plan, it is gratify
ing that motorists in that city raised
such a storm of protest, they defeat
ed this additional tax on the automo
bile. ,
The Korean Deadlock
Peacp in Korea still apparently
hinges on these points of discussion:
the. Communist demand that the Sov
iet Union serve as one of the six
neutral nations to police , the truce,
! the right of the North Koreans to
build airfields during tha truce, and
developing a satisfactory plan for ex
changing prisoners.
In informed circles, the opinion is
held that if the prisoner exchange can
be worked out, there will be peace in
Korea. The deadlock on . returning
prisoners is that the Communists are
demanding that all prisoners be re-
turned regardless of their wishes in
the matter. '
It is conceivable that this deadlock
may be broken by replacing on the
nris-turned. civilians who wish to be
returned by civilians who wish to be
repatriated,
A Bad Tax Killed
In New York City, recently, the au
thorities decided to impose a $6 a year
fee on all those who would park their
automobiles' in city streets. On top of
all the other taxes New York City
drivers' were paying, this seemed to
them to be the last straw and they
Taised such a storm of protest that
the city authorities, in the end, with
drew the proposal.
Drivers of automobiles today,
though not required by law in many
.states to carry "liability insurance to
insure their responsibility, are bur-
dened by almost every kind of tax
imaginable. In the first place, if they
pay as much as $2,000 for an automo
bile, they are paying over $500 in tax-
-es. This tax estimate covers all tax
es, beginning with raw materials that
go into the -car and ending with the
Federal tax on tfie sale of each new
tar. : ';-:V---.---V- y':-K'
After this tax, the motorist is re
quired to buy a license, too pay an in
spection tax in most states, to pay
fairly heavy taxes on gasoline, both
, Federal and IState, and to pay many
other taxes. He also pays (Federal
taxes on every new accessory he buys
and is beset with just about every
other tax on the operation of a motor
vehicle that can be thought up by
some city, county, state or federal
trol, Revenue Building Annex. Ra
