and Mrs. Dennis Williams, was paralyzed from the neck down after a polio attack in July, 1946. Her mother said Monday the girl had felt her heel tendons relaxing 30 minutes after the first injection on Nov. 14.

No Comment claims or re milts will be conduct. a Mrs. Ben Eisenberg, McAllen, coordinator of the polio ward at Edinburgh Grandview Hospital, did not comment on the report that Miranda had asked to conduct tests at the ward and had been turned down. She said the matter would be referred to John R.

Loughlin, San Antonio, Southwest Texas representative for the Foundation, and E. S. Stewart, Abilene, director for Texas, who will arrive in the Valley Thursday for a meeting to launch the March of Dimes drive. Mrs. Williams told La Donna's story.

She said the girl was in a respirator for 35 days, paralyzed from the neck down, after the polio attack in July, 1946. They lived in Bloomingdale, then. No hope was held for the girl's eventual recovery, and she was sent home in the spring of 1947. Soon La Donna was able to move a little finger, and later both arms, after her mother had kept up a massage program, She was placed in a special corset in August, 1948, so she could sit up in a chair. Sister Kenny at Centralia, gave them no hope, and they moved to was examined at the Edinburg ward and was rejected twice as hopelessly paralyzed, her mother said.

Pays Expenses La Donna was examined in Harlingen in November by Miranda and Dr. Garay, who offered to pay all expenses for a series of test injections. Sr. Miranda told the girl he would have her walking in 30 days. Mrs.

Williams said La Donna took the first shot at 4 p.m. on Nov. 14, and at 4:30 p.m. she felt her heel tendons relaxing and said she could feel the muscles twitching. Mrs.

Williams said the girl has had seven shots. A catch in her breathing has disappeared and she can move muscles she had never moved since she was stricken, her mother said. The girl stood up for the first time Sunday and now wants a bicycle for Christmas. The girl's mother said Sr. Miranda told her the shot cost from $500 to $800, and that he would get the money from some millionaire who could afford to pay for them.

Miss Mutz said her left leg had always been swollen, but hadn't been swollen since the first injection. She said she began to locate muscles, and thinks all her muscles are getting stronger.

The skipper of the vessel, the Sir John Franklin, declared shells from two Nationalist warships struck his ship 12 times during a barrage of about an hour. The incident, piling up new troubles for the U.S. and China, occurred yesterday at the mouth of the Yangtze River, near Communist- held Shanghai.

It was at virtually the same spot where another ship of the same line, the Flying Cloud, was shelled by a Nationalist warship on Nov. 15.
