March Of Dimes Drive To Begin Monday, Jan.16
The 1950 March of Dimes campaign to be held Monday, Jan. 16, through Tuesday, Jan. 31, must succeed overwhelmingly if the national foundation is to continue its service to the American people, Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, recently announced.
An alarming number of people in age groups that include college and university students were victims of 1949's epidemics of polioomyelitis in this country. Mr. OConnor said.
More than 42,000 cases of polio were reported to the foundation the past year. This was the largest number of polio cases in any one year in any country in the history of the world. Of these 42,000 it is estimated that more than 10,000 were over 15 years of age with the greatest number proportionally between the ages of 15 and 24.
The economic impact of this record number of polio cases has been a serious drain on funds of the national foundation. Approximately 31 million dollars was needed for patient care alone during the epidemic year. Care for these 1949 patients through 1950 may cost national foundation chapters more than 20 million dollars without inclusion of care costs for any new cases in 1950
A realistically successful 1950 March of Dimes campaign is necessary to meet these demands as well as other obligations of the organization, but the organization must that these obligations of peculiar importance to institutions of higher learning, their student bodies and faculties.
Extensive research and educational programs are financed by the March of Dimes funds of the national foundation, its president said. He added that virus research seeking a means of prevention or control of poliomyelitis has cost the national foundation approximately 12 million dollars during the past decade.
During the same period, from 1938 through June 30, 1949, the national foundation awarded fellowships and scholarships under its education program which totalled more than 10 million dollars, while more than four million dollars was spent for medical care exclusive of epidemic aid.
Through the educational program of the national foundation more than 2,000 persons have received training in professional fields related to polio.
In urging participation by colleges and universities in the 1950 March of Dimes, Mr. O'Connor stressed the importance of uninterrupted continuance of the educational and research programs of the national foundation, despite the added patient-care burdens of the coming year.

Zero Weather Will Continue In Middle West
By United Press
Winter's first major blow in the midlands. Wednesday had sent the thermometer down to nine degrees below zero at Goodland, Kan., five below at Tarkio, Mo., and to near zero in parts of Oklahoma and Texas.
"It is 32 below zero at Williston, N.Dak., in the northwest corner of that state, and 22 below at Valentine, Nebr., in the north-central portion of that state," he said.
But if the Missouri-Kansas-Oklahoma-Texas residents believe the real force of the cold wave had struck them, the forecaster in the Kansas City weather bureau has additional news.
The forecaster sprinkled his report, however, with some encouragement remarks, although he said he could forsee little chance for a let-up in the bitter cold within the next 24 hours. "It will remain pretty cold throughout the area," he said, "but for the most part precipitation is over."
The cold air which moved across northern Oklahoma yesterday and then changed its course northward and eastward has reached the southeastern corner of Missouri. Extreme eastern Missouri was getting freezing rain and sleet, but that changed soon to snow.
For the most part, the snow has ended in the district, excepting in southeastern Kansas and portions of Missouri. There are still traces in eastern Oklahoma, but the snow will and by tonight, the forecaster said.
Scattered readings throughout Kansas showed Garden City, six below; Hill City, four below; Dodge City, three below; Wichita, two above; Topeka, two above; Chanute six above; Kansas City, three above
The cold wave has spread over the entire state of Oklahoma. Guymon reported a reading of three degrees above zero at midnight. Points through the panhandle were near zero. The cold air penetrated north-central and western Texas, sending the thermometer down to 19 at Fort Worth, 31 at Waco and one above at Amarillo. At Dallas, it was 20 above at 4 a.m., but Houston boasted a balmy 71.
Another surge of cold air from the northwest will move into the midlands, beginning in Nebraska tonight and spreading over Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma Thursday. This surge will bring some very light snow flurries. "It will remain cold today and tonight," the forecaster said, "with just a little moderation to tomorrow."
Dr. Charles Michener, associate professor of entomology, Dr. H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology, and Cluff E. Hopla, graduate student and research assistant, recently returned from a trip to Tampa, where they presented papers at a conference of the Entomological Society of America. The conference ran from Dec. 13 through Dec. 16.

Dr. Michener presented two papers entitled "Isolation and Speciation," and the "Genetical Aspects of the Development of Resistance to Insecticides."
The paper presented by Mr. Hopla was called "Tularemia Transmission by the Tropical Rat Mite." The subject of the paper presented by Dr. Hungerford was the "Progress in the Taxonomy of Aquatic Hemintera."
Dr. Michener went to study in museums in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City, after leaving the conference.

Malott Believes India Will Solve Division Problem
The division of India into two states with boundaries following the lines of two religions—Hindu and Moslem—has brought about fairly stable governments, but has also created many difficulties, Chancellor Deane W. Malott, said today.
"While there is a jealousy and on guard feeling between the two states of India and Pakistan, their economies are closely bound together, and they will eventually solve their problems." Chancellor Malott explained. "A good deal of the rioting and disturbances were caused by the Moslems leaving India and the Hindus leaving Pakistan."
The chancellor described the two-week conference, which he and Mrs. Malott attended in India, as solely a discussion. No action or recommendations were made by the educators, businessmen, and journalists. The purpose of the conference was to increase the number of American leaders qualified to interpret India, and encourage wider and deeper university studies of India in this country.
"Universities are more like examining boards in India along the European traditions," Chancellor Malott said. "Educational benefits are not widely distributed. About 90 per cent of the population is ill-literate."
"Indian leaders are interested in attracting American capital, but they are concerned about the conditions under which the money will come to the country."
"It is very difficult to create countries on the basis of religion." Chancellor Malott asserted. "Producing areas are not equally divided. Another difficulty arose when India followed Great Britain and devalued the currency, Pakistan did not, and now a currency exchange has been set up between the two states."
Chancellor Malott was traveling by air both on Christmas and New Year's day. On Christmas day he and Mrs. Malott flew from Lahore, Pakistan to New Delhi. On New Year's day they were on their way to Lawrence.
Each time the Malotis crossed the boundaries of the two states, they had to get a new visa. Many difficulties arose because of the growing nationalism of the two states.
The conference included discussions of political, economic, and cultural relations. It was sponsored jointly by the American Institute of Pacific Relations and the Indian Council of World Affairs, one of the 12 national units in the Institute of Pacific Relations.
ChancellorToSpeak Tomorrow Night
