J As a result of research data ac
cumulated during the past ten
years, it was disclosed her»-today
by Dr. R. -E< L-. Gowan', county
health officer, mona.knohlcdfce has
been assembled about polio than
many otter diseases.
Referring to recent reports from
.national headquarters of the March
of Dimes organization, Dr. Gowan
"said, “We .know today that polio*
is actually a family of diseases
having the same clynical symp-
toms, but caused by a nulnber of
different . viruses. Scientists are
rupv generally, agreed that the
virus' is mainly transmitted
•through close personal contact,
^ such as occurs in households.”
“Scientists tell us,” he
.........._..us," he contin-
ued, “that the virus usually enters
the digestive canal through the
mouth or nasal passages and then
makes it way* along nerte fibers
to‘the central 'nervous system
where it damages nerve cells.” He
went oh to say that scientists now
believe that this period of daotage
is rather brief, requiring only a
few day*. - *•
In the laboratories,. Dr. Gowan
'revealed, acientista supported by,
the March of Dimes hove experi-
mentally charted in animals the
speed with which polio virus trav-
els along nerve fibers. He gave
the rate as two millimeters an
hour, nearly an inch in 12 hours—
a snail’s pace, considering the
speed of modem transportation,
but actually a terrifically rapid
speed for a disease organism of
such small size.
The Chapter official concluded
with the statement that the rate
of scientific prograss in phlio has
been so great in the past few years
that scientists are now more hope-
ful of ultimate success than ever
before. “If we can give our scien-
tists continued support," he said,
T am certain that*a sure preven-
tive for polio can be found within
the foreseeable future.”

WASHINGTON, D. C., Am. tl.
-A major legislative skirmish,
perhaps the moet important one of
this seesion, was fought out in
the House this week. Chances of
reducing federal spending, of bal-
ancing the budget, of defeating
the FEPC, and other absurd civil
rights proposals, in fact, the chance
of stopping any number Of things
jn the Congress, was dealt a fatal
blow When the House failed to go
back to their old rules by a vote
of 236 to 183. Heretofore, the
Rules Committee in the House had
been used as a sort of clearance
Committee for legislative propos-
als. In January, 1949, the rule was
changed to permit any Commit-
tee Chairman to bring up any bill
which his Committee had reported,
'regardless of the Rules Committee
Many of us wanted to restore 'the
Rules Committee to its ancient
prerogatives. We wanted to use it
as a sort of road-blocking against
demogoguery and hypocrisy. How-
ever, the House voted against us,
236 to 183. It is strange and ironi-
cal that this defeat must be laid
at the door of the Republicans of
the House. Sixty-four of them
voted against the resolution, large-
ly because they were afraid of the
colored vote and of the radical
votes in their individual districts.
It was stupid politics on their part.
By and Urge, it was a contest be-
tween tbe conservatives and the
so-called liberals. The conserva-
tives lost.
By a one vote margin, the House
this week defeated a bill to nro-
vide a hundred and twenty milljoh
dollars in aid to Korea and a com-
mittal for an additional expendi-
ture of two hundred million -dol-
lars. A|ong with half of the Texas
delegation, I voted against thi*
expenditure. If the story of our
bungling and waste of money in
China ever comes to light, the pub-
lic will b«cputraged. Those of us
voting against these millions for
Korea felt that the odds were that
such money would probably go to
the benefit of the communists,
rather than against them. Sad to
say, most of our millions in sup-
plies sent to the anticommunists
in China Urgely Jell • into the
hands of the communists. In an
early newsletter, T will give you
horrible story of how some of
this happened.
If tbeFEPC comes up next week,
as it is supposed to do, it will pass
the House, notwithstanding the
beat efforts of n good many us to
defeat it. The FEPC proposes to
take swap from the employer his
right to select his employees. It
will be n long step toward the de-
struction of free enterprise end
the rights of individual citiaens.

If may be freezing outside, mister, but you’ll never know it
insido if your home has adequate, vented, automatic nat-
ural gas heating. And the same little pipe that delivers gas
to your heating system will furnish fuel for heating water,

GAS CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR WELFARE
You benefit in many ways froth gas company dollars spent
in the Gulf South. Gas companies pay wages, royalties
and dividends to you and your neighbors and buy a wide
variety of* supplies and equipment from local concerns.
They, pay millions in taxes to support state and local gov-
ernments. They make everybody's business better!
