Advanced Polio Treatments Saving 50 Per Cent of Patients, Russell Says "More than half the polio patients are being saved today that would have died three years ago," Dr. Edward Lee Russell, county health officer, said today in speaking of the advances made in the rare for poliomyelitis cases at Orange County hospital. Rubinoff Gets 'The Bird' from Canary Fiddler BRENHAM, Tex., Jan. 14 (UP) — The violinist began his concert before the pupils of Alamo Grade School at their assembly. He played a few notes, and there came an echo—same tune, same pitch. He played some more, then stopped and listened. There came the echo again. "Who's that mocking me?" he inquired. An investigation followed. Out in the hall was the school's pet canary. The bird had heard and liked the music, and whistled it as the violinist played. The imitator was brought into the auditorium. The musician struck up "The Hot Canary" and the two finished the concert together. "It's the darnest thing that ever happened to me," David Rubinoff exclaimed. UN Survey Asks Firmer Juvenile Case Handling UNITED NATIONS. N.Y., Jan. 14 (UP) — A United Nations survey today deplored American reliance on psychiatry in dealing with juvenile delinquency and urged firm court handling in serious cases. The survey first in a series ange County hospital. Declaring that deaths due to polio come primarily from cardiac and respiratory failures, Dr. Russell said, "The entire concept of care for polio patients has advanced tremendously in the last 10 years. Since we have had 70 to 80 per cent of the respiratory cases in the United States on the West Coast we necessarily feel we have learned most about combatting that type. Of cardiac failure, Dr. Russell explained that complications resulting from polio many times strike at the muscles surrounding the heart. The heart muscles then are thrown off rhythm and weakened by the disease. Although the Contagious Disease ward at the county hospital has been crowded to capacity all during the year-long epidemic, the physician said through cooperation and systematic regulation has it been possible to give adequate care to all the patients. He declared that of the more than 200 victims of polio during the past year two-thirds have been patients in the hospital. "It has been a tight operation," Dr. Russell said. "Previously we could not have cared for that many patients since the county has only two respirators. But through the aid of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis we have received the loan of 10 respirators, which has been a Godsend to the county and saving of many lives." Speaking of the care of patients, Dr. Russell said that a new victim of the disease is taken to the hospital after consultation of the family doctor and the county health officer as to the urgent need. If the patient has a respiratory complication or has been stricken with the serious Bulbar type, he is rushed to the CD ward During the year 1952. Dr Russell said, 51 Bulbar cases were handled. Of the length of stay in the hospital for polio patients, the doc- NY Times Headline Says Red Scar Over-Played NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (UP) — lisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger told the New York Times said tom anti-Communism has aroused "more fear in the country to the facts warrant."

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y., Jan. 14 UP—A United Nations survey today deplored American reliance on psychiatry in dealing with juvenile delinquency and urged firm court handling in serious cases. The survey first in a series which will cover all continents, was written by Dr. Paul W. Tappan, professor of sociology at New York University. The surveys will be presented at a world congress on the prevention of crime which the U.N. has called for 1955. California, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey and New York, the report said, have the best programs for dealing with the problem. But, it added, "as an interesting reflection of our cultural dynamics, these states are also characterized by high rates of delinquency and crime." Science Pulls Stings from Bees CHICHESTER, England UP—A new strain of non-stinging, non-swarming bees has been developed by artificially inseminating queen bees under an anesthetic. Dr. C. W. Read, chairman of the West Sussex Beekeepers' Association said the strain is the result of five years of painstaking work with microscopic instruments. The bees, known as strain No. 58, were developed for use in beekeeping instruction for children. Dr. Read said that four or five generations of selected bees had been experimented with every year for the past five years. He said the experiments included the artificial insemination of queen bees after the bees had been anesthetized with carbon dioxide. Speaking of the care of patients, Dr. Russell said that a new victim of the disease is taken to the hospital after consultation of the family doctor and the county health officer as to the urgent need. If the patient has a respiratory complication or has been stricken with the serious Bulbar type, he is rushed to the CD ward During the year 1952. Dr Russell said, 51 Bulbar cases were handled. Of the length of stay in the hospital for polio patients, the doctor said an indication as to the increased seriousness of the cases is shown by a comparison of 1951 and 1952 figures. The average stay during 1951 was 7.4 days and during the epidemic year of 1952 the stay increased to 12.7 days, he reported. The most up-to-date equipment in the country is already in use at the hospital, he said, with the latest advancement being added as they are made available. He explained that, at best, today's respirators are no comparison with natural breathing but added that improvements are being made so that they will conform to the natural demands of the body. In addition to the most modern care of doctors and nurses, the patients most of whom are youngsters, are kept occupied as much as possible with television and other possible diversionary learning and entertainment, he said. Caring for polio patients in the CD ward are 12 pediatricians from all parts of the county, who are on duty call two at a time, the chief resident physician, Kurt Gundell, and a staff of 10 nurses on day and night duty. After a patient has been carried over the critical part of his illness he is taken home as soon as possible. Dr. Russell explained that part of the road to recovery is believed to be in surrounding the patient with familiar things and his own family. It is the family, aided by the county physical therapists, who must nurse the patient back to use of stricken limbs. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14 UP—three-man Senate subcommittee today criticized "an excess amount of paperwork" and lack of proper equipment as leading to poor rural in the California highway patrol. The finance subcommittee said it would recommend against G Warren's proposal to add 180 officers to the 1200-man patrol long as uniformed patrolmen do desk work. Organization of the patrol such said Chairman Randolph Collier R. Yreka, that without great deal of loyalty and respect for superiors, "You have an impossible situation." Clifford E. Peterson, CHP commissioner declined comment until he sees the subcommittee's report. He did confirm he told the senators many of the patrol problems were inherited, and with regard to paperwork—the records must be kept "in order for us to know what is going on." The subcommittee took testimony from more than 25 patrol officers — members refused to specify the exact number—of ranks in closed door sessions from which the press was banned. Their testimony will not be made public. Collier said, because some of them expressed fears of "retaliation." The officers were subpoenaed from over the state after a field investigation by three members of Legislative Auditor A. Alan Post staff. Commissioner Peterson testified voluntarily, Collier said. Union Leaders Squabble over Transport Strike PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14 UP—Philadelphians were late for work and later for dinner today as they jammed railroad trains, formed car pools, rode taxicabs and took advantage of relaxed parking regulations to make up for the loss of their main means of transportation. Meanwhile, leaders of the CIO's Transport Workers Union—both local and international—squabbled among themselves over the walkout. Michael J. Quill, international president, described the strike against the Philadelphia Transportation Company as "wildcat and illegal." Paul O'Rourke, Local 234 president, said the union membership did not think the final PTC offer was enough. The walkout of 9500 operators and maintenance employees of the PTC kept all trolley cars, buses, subway and elevated trains in their barns and garages. The company's 2½ million riders shifted for themselves. Quill said in New York that the Philadelphia strike was a "crime" against the union local and the riding public. He termed the walkout a violation of the union constitution. He said: "A howling mob in the front seats at the mass meeting never gave the membership an opportunity to hear the details of the proposed contract. This is not trade unionism. This is anarchy" CARDINAL'S SCROLL — About 60 members of Anaheim Knights of Columbus signed the scroll being signed above by Jim Slobodian and will present it to James Francis Cardinal McIntyre of Los Angeles sometime this month.

Assemblyman Francis Dunn, Jr. (D-Oakland) said the measure and four others he introduced would carry out the recommendations of the finance division of Gov. Warren's educational television conference last month. The loans could be used not only for construction but also for equipment and the first year's maintenance. They would have to be renamed in 15 years. Five million dollars would be appropriated for the loan fund. California has been allotted eight educational TV channels by the federal communications commission. Other Dunn bills would authorize school districts to construct, operate and maintain TV stations, to enter into agreements with other school districts for joint operation and to contract, with commercial telecasters or non-profit organizations for TV broadcasts. by Knight Don May, was dedicated to the cardinal and signed at the Monday night meeting.
