Polio Drive
Under Way
Campaign to Continue
Through January 31
Today the people of Detroit and
the nation are being asked to give
to the annual Infantile Paralysis
fund.
The drive will continue through
Jan. 31.
During the past year the United
States suffered one of the worst
epidemics of infantile paralysis in
history. In Detroit alone 479 cases
were reported with 19 deaths.
DEATH TOLL LOW
Although the deaths represent
less than 4 per cent of the cases,
i was only through the efforts
of the Wayne County chapter of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, that the cases
were all hospitalized and the
death toll kept down.
Money contributed also helps
purchase iron lungs, washing ma
chines, wringers, beds and lack
ing materials.
The new Sister Kenny technique
has proven invaluable in the re
cent crisis and a proportion of the
money wMll be used io train tech
nicians in this method.
WHERE MONET GOES
Fifty per cent of the money
raised in each community is sent
to the national foundation. The
money is used for grants to uni
versities for research into the
cause and prevention of the dread
disease.
Michigan has received $647,000
since 1940, much more than the
state sent to the foundation in
the same period of time
Contributions may be sent to
Walter S. McLucas, treasurer.

bent source of specialists to op
erate complicated instruments
of war and work for their Im
provement.
• College graduates are
needed to Inculcate In the minds
of a citizen-army understand
ing of the requirements, alms

Nazis' Girls

and Gottfried Hobel, 20, escaped

Judo Slaying Trial
Resumes Tuesday
Pychiatrists Disagree
on War Vet's Sanity
PONTIAC, Jan. 13 —The first
degree murder trial of Ernest
Parsons. Detroit ex-soldier, re
sumes Tuesday in Oakland County,
circuit court.
Two psychiatrists, Dr. Lynn N.
Hershey of Detroit and Dr. J. A.
Vatz of Pontiac State Hospital,
have both said Parsons is too
dangerous to be allowed free in
society.
But from that point on they dis
agree. Dr. Hershey claims Par
sons is insane—a schizophrenic
and is therefore not accountable
for his actions.
Dr. Vatz says the killer is prob
ably sane, since he could recall hi*
actions on the night of Aug. 7,
1944, when he confessed to using
army-taught judo to strangle his
estranged fiance. Louella Parfitt,
along 19-Mile road.
The statement Parsons made to
the prosecutor the same night was
allowed as evidence Saturday by
Circuit Judge Hartrick. Some de
tails of the statement differ from
facts which Parsons related to Dr.
Hershey in a private interview.
An autopsy report revealed that
the girl had been criminally at
tacked shortly before her death.
