11 Polio Cases Swell
0. C. Area Total to 43,
Topping 1947 by 33
Eleven new cases of polio in the
Washington area have raised the
[ total reported by the District Health
Department to 43 for this year—33
i more than were reported at this
date last year.
The 11 new cases reported during
j the last two days brought the total
! this year to 20 District and 23 out
of-town cases, health officials said.
At this time last year, three resident
and seven nonresident cases were
reported.
Dr. James G. Cumming. chief of
communicable diseases, said most of
the cases appear to be "mild'’ and
give no cause for fear that cases will
reach "unusual proportions.”
He pointed out that until recently,
nolio cases were not diagnosed until
; they had reached the stage of pa
ralysis. The current high number.
> he said, "means merely that these
j cases are being caught earlier."
, There have been no deaths here this
year from polio, officials added.
Six New D. C. Cases.
Of the 11 new cases, these 6 Dis
j trict • residents were reported:
| A 10-month-old boy of the 2700
block of Terrace road S.E., admitted
to Children's Hospital July 31; a

being on the decline. Just 16 cases

with 62 deaths.
At the same time, the American
Automobile Association warned that
if at all possible, travel with chil
dren through North and South Car
olina should be avoided.
Charles F. Pratt, AAA touring
[services manager, said that if chil
! dren are taken through the epidemic
ridden States, parents should avoid
j "all crowded places." Children suf
1 fering from severe headaches, rest
[ lessness, fever and weakness should
be "taken to a reputable physician
i immediately, especially if you are
[ in or near an area where polio has
struck,” Mr. Pratt warned.

The Hearst Newspapers

FROM AN EDITORIAL BY
IVilliam Randolph Hearst
PUBLISHED IN THE HEARST NEWSPAPERS, JANUARY 8, 1933
\
“There is a widespread demand to have bank deposits guar
anteed by the Government.
“The Government of the United States has the greatest credit
of any government on the face of the earth.
“The people are anxious to be protected by the credit of the
Government, which is their Government—by credit which is really.
their combined credit.
“Consequently the argument is continually advanced that the
Government guarantee bank deposits.
“Government which regulates the activities of banks and in
spects and supervises these activities should doubtless morally
accept responsibility for the completeness and conscientiousness of
such regulation and inspection, by guaranteeing the safety of the
funds of those depositors who repose confidence in the effectiveness
of the Government’s supervision.”
Notice the date of the editorial above-January 8, 1933. That was two
months before the New Deal took over in Washington and “modestly” assumed
credit for all progressive legislation then pending or projected.
Since that date—and through the sponsorship of an anti-New Deal
Senator—Federal Bank Deposit Insurance has become the law of the land.
The Hearst Newspapers believe that Deposit Insurance has strengthened
immeasurably our banking system. They will continue to support wise legis
lation that encourages thrift, and promotes faith in our democratic institutions.
