Roosevelt’s Statement
Best Results in Eradicating Infantile Paralysis Can
Be Secured by Merging All Control, Efforts
Into Single Foundation, President Declares.
Bt the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK. N. Y„ September 23.—
The text of President Roosevelt state
ment announcing the formation of a
new foundation to unify the fight
against infantile paralysis follows:
I have been very much concerned
over the epidemics of infantile paralysis
which have been prevalent in man?
cities in different parts of the country'.
I have had reports from many areas
in which this disease is again spread
ing its destruction.
And once again there is brought
foreingly to my mind the constantly
increasing accumulation of ruined
lives— which must continue unless this
disease can be brought under control
and its after-effects properly treated.
My own personal experience in the
work that we have been doing at the
Georgia Warm Springs Foundation for
over 10 years leads me to the very
definite conclusion that the best results
In attempting to eradicate this disease
cannot be secured by approaching
the problem through any single one of
its aspects, whether that be preventive
studies in the laboratory*, emergency
work during epidemics, or after treat
ment.
Other Phases Furthered.
For over 10 years at the Foundation
at Warm Springs, Ga„ we have
devoted our effort almost entirely to
the study of improved treatment of
the after effects of the illhess. During
these years o.ther agencies, which we
have from time to time assisted, have
devoted their energies to other phases
of the fight.
I firmly believe that the time has
now arriyed wheri the whole attack on
• this plague should be led and directed,
though not controlled, by. one national
body. And it is for this puroose that
a. new national foundation fo' infantile
paralysis is being created.
As I have said, the gene i purpose
of the new foundation will to lead,
direct, and unify the fig .c on every
phase of this’sickness. It will make
every effort to ensure that every re
sponsible research agency in this
country is adequately financed to
carry on investigations into the cause
of infantile paralysis and the meth
ods by which it may be prevented.
It will endeavor to eliminate much
of the needless after-effect of this
disease—wreckage caused by the fail
ure to make early accurate diagnosis of
Its presence.
Care Vital to 1’atient.
We all know that improper care
during the acute stage of the disease,
and the use of antiquated treatment,
or downright neglect of any treat
ment. are the cause of thousands of
crippled, twisted, powerless bodies
row. Much can be done along these
lines right now.
The new foundation will carry on a
broadgauged educational campaign,
prepared under expert medical super
vision. and this will be placed within
the reach of the doctors and the hos
pitals of the country.
The practicing physician is in reality
the front linf fighter of the sickness,
and there Is much existing valuable
knowledge that should be dissemi
nated to him.
And then there is also the tre
mendous problem as to what is to be
done with those hundreds of thou
sands already ruined by the after
effects of this affliction. To inves
tigate, to study, to develop every
medical possibility of enabling those
so afflicted to become economically
Independent In their local communi
ties will be one of the chief aims of
the new foundation.
Those who today are fortunate in
being in full possession of their mus
cular power naturally do not under
stand what it means to a human being
paralyzed by this disease to have that
powerlessness lifted even to a small
degree.
Result Worth Effort.
It means \he difference between a
human being dependent on others and
an individual who can be wholly in
dependent. The public has little con
ception of the patience and time and
expense necessary to accomplish such
results. But the results are of the
Utmost importance to the individual.
The work of the new organization
must start immediately. It cannot be
delayed. Its activities will include
among many others those of the Geor
gia Warm Springs Foundation, of
which I have been president since its i
Inception. I shall continue as presi- I
dent of that foundation.
But in fairness to my official re
sponsibilities. I cannot at this time
take a very active part in the mueh
broader work that will be carried out'
by the new- foundation, and I -there
fore do not feel that I should now
hold any official position in it.
However, because I am whole
heartedly in this cause. I have en
listed the sincere interest of several
representatives and outstanding indi
viduals who are willing to initiate and
carry on the work of the new founda
tion. Its personnel will be announced
as soon as it is completed.
RITES FOR CAPT. ALLEN
WILL BE TOMORROW
Services Will Be Held in Fort
Myer Chapel and Burial
Will Be in Arlington.
Funeral services for Capt. James T.
Allen, 53, U. 8. M. C.,' retired, who

Md.. will*be held tomorrow at 2 p.m.
in the Fort Myer, Va., chapel. Burial
with military honors will be in Ar
lington National Cemetery.
Joining the Marine Corps at 20,
Capt. Allen remained in the service
until ill health forced his retirement
in 1922. A graduate of George Wash
ington University Law School, he later
joined the Veterans’ Administration as
an attorney, retiring in 1934.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Ethel T. Allen: twro daughters, Jacque
line and Aileen Allen, and a son, Lud
low.
Honorary pallbearers will be the
following Marine Corps captains:
Luther A. Brown, Harry C. Lang,
Thomas B. Jordan, Francis M. Mc
Alister, David A. Stafford and James
H. Strother.
HEALTH OFFICIALS
EAGER FOR PLAN
Infantile Paralysis Founda
tion May Point Way to
Cause Still in Doubt.
By the Associated Press.
Public, Health Service officials wel
comed today President Roosevelt’s an
nouncement of the impending organi
sation of an infantile paralysis founda
tion.
Prom its research, they said, may
come the all-important explanation of
what causes the disease.
"Many, many laboratories still are
fumbling lor the cause." commented
Dr. Robert Olesen, an assistant sur
geon general.
"We have made headway in treat
ment, but as for cause and prevention
we still have to talk in glittering gen- !
eralities.”
Mr. Roosevelt drew on his own ex
periences as a victim of the disease in
describing the need for launching an ;
adequately-financed campaign through
w,hlch one national body would "lead,
direct and unify the fight on every
phase of this sickness."
The disease, also called poliomyeli
tis, wreaks its greatest ravages on chil
dren. The Children's Bureau reported
last year that 3 of every 10 crippled
children were the victims of infantile
paralysis.
Reports of the Public Health Service
showed 6.391 poliomyelitis cases in
the country up to September 18, as
compared with 2,281 cases In the same
period of 1936. The cases, Dr. Olesen
said, are fairly evenly distributed,
Or.ly one State, North Dakota, re
ported that no new cases developed In
the week ended September 18.
While the number of cases this year
is larger than usual, the Public Health
Service does not regard them as neces
sarily constituting an epidemic.
"If it is an epidemic,*it Is a very
mild one," Dr. Olesen said.
Boasts of Extraordinary Cow.
KEARNEY, Nebr. i/P).—Quefnle is
by no means an ordinary cow.
Delos Wilkins, her owner, says she
eats gingersnaps off a plate at a table,
smokes a pipe, lies down and snores,
waltzes, balances on a seesaw and
generally behaves as no other cow
ever does in public.
_EDUCATIONAL.
HIGH MASS TO OPEN
ST. DOMINIC’S NOVENA
A solemn novena in preparation for
the Feast of the Holy Rosary will be
gin at St. Dominic’s Church Saturday
morning with a high mass and sermon
at 9 o'clock. During the novena high
mass will be celebrated each morning
at the same hour, followed by evening
devotions and a sermon at 8 p.m.
The sermons will be preached by
Rev. Camillus Boyd, O. F., who for
several years has been engaged in
missionary work throughout the east
ern part of the United States. The
novena will close on rosary Sunday,
October 3. with a solemn procession
in honor of Mary, queen of the rosary.
