RED GANN GOLF FEACTICX RANGE FHONR S-SSSS None knows better of the marvels of the Warm Springs foundation in treatment of infantile paralysis than little John David Wall, 4, son of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Wall, of St. Elmo, Route 3, who Is able today to toddle about at will on chubby legs that were useless two years ago.

"Chubby Wall, a picture of health and vitality as a baby and until his second birthday, was stricken with Infantile paralysis which immediately rendered useless both legs and both arms. He was wasting away, apparently a hopeless cripple for life, when his father wrote to the presidents institution at Warm Springs, begging that the child be saved. That was in 1936, the father said yesterday, displaying snapshots of the baby before going to the Georgia foundation. They wrote back asking me to bring: Chubby down for an examination and I took him straight down there. I thought they might look at the baby and then ask that I bring him back some time later, but they took him in right away and began his treatments.

He said the baby stayed at Warm Springs six months, part of the time with his legs in a plaster cast and later supported by braces as they grew stronger. Then Mr. Wall was called to Warm Springs to take his baby home for a few months and later was told to return for another treatment of about six weeks. Chubby is now with his parents who are waiting for another summons and are praying the childs improvement will be continued and permanent. Its a wonderful thing and the best part of it is it is free, said Mr.

Wall yesterday.

The local units of the organization throughout the state have studied the problem and the state league has prepared a bill to authorize abolition of the poll tax through constitutional amendment. Pending abolition, the state poll tax would be reduced to 50 cents, according to a second bill prepared by the league, stated Mrs. Harry Schaeffer, president.

The League of Women Voters believes that voting by all, citizens helps to secure good government. Statistics show that In the eight states which retain the poll tax only about one-fourth of the citizens vote, but In the forty states without a poll tax about three-fourths of the citizens vote. A small per capita tax for school revenue would be substituted for the poll tax In the league's flrqt bill.

Lindsey, officer of the league. Legislators Interviewed Members of the Hamilton county league have interviewed Senator Joe.S. Bean and Representatives D. M. Coleman, W.

French Grubb and J. B. Ra-gon, asking their opinions on the two bills. Mrs. Lindsey reports their statements below: Senator Bean expressed sympathy with the amendment bill, but doubted whether such a bill could be passed.
