Ellis to San Angelo, to do a series on the polio epi demic raging there. His dispatches will deal with the epidemic itself, how it started, the hysteria it engendered and how the city overcame its panic. His first dispatch, which follows, de scribes a visit to a polio ward.) By PAUL F. ELLIS SAN ANGELO, (UP) I put on a doctor's whits surgical gown today -and visited patients in the polio isolation wards of Shannon Memorial Hospital.

The gown was necessary so that I didn't carry any bacteria from the outside to the patients and also to lessen the chance of my taking any polio virus from the hospital to the outside. STRUCK INFANTS I saw polio as it struck infants, teen-agers and adults. My escort was Lanier H. Bell, director of physical medicine, the science of the use of physical agents in the treatment of diseases and injuries. This hospital is a medical center equipped as well a any metropolitan hospital and to which polio patients in this epidemic "hot are being sent from towns as far away as 150 miles.

The first "patient visited was Patsy, an 8-year-old, dark-eyed Mexican girl. I saw only her head. ThP rest of her body was In en iron lung. In her rase polio paralyzed the breathing muscles of her chest and the diiiphram. Her "iron lung" "was one of several furnished by th: National Foundation for Infantile paralysis.

In Patsy's case the doctors believe she'll be able to live without the artificial respirator. Already they are trying to convince her. Once or twice a day they take her out of the lung and, lying on a rolling table, she is taken on a tour pf the polio wards. The treatment is to get her used to living outside the lung. The acute polio cases are kept on the second floor of the hospital.

There are several ward rooms. In one ward room we talked with 6-year-old, red haired Nancy. Downstairs in the convalescent ward wns lr mother who is about to be discharged. In the room with Nancy wre numerous other young children, most of whom were receiving hot pocks packs to relieve the pain and tenderness typical of acute cases. The packs in most cases are applied about every 45 minutes during the daytime hours.

66 CASES Today there werc 66 cases of polio in the hospital'. We visited virtually all of them. In one ward room there verc half dozen infants with varying degrees of polio. Bell then lrd the way downstairs to the convalescent rooms where patients are "on their way" to dismissal or to an institution which specializes In the rehabilitation of damaged muscles. Back to Bell's denartme.nt of physical therapy we learned thnt since June 4 there have been 96 discharges from the hospital investigating reports today that a Lublin portrait of the Virgin Mary shed tears of blood and water.

Witnesses" said "the miracle" portrait had restored the sight of an elderly blind woman and a young girl. They said thousands of curious had swarmed into the Lublin ca thedral to see the portrait. Church authorities were said to have had difficulty controlling the throngs. LOANS Quickly, easily arranged. Low-rate, easy payments Come In with us.
