Hysteria, Rumors Follow Poliomyelitis Increase

New York. Aug. 9. — (UP)— An infantile paralysis research expert said today that the national Increase in the disease has been ‘an excellent stimulus for hysteria and a fertile field for rumors ' He said the disease, which Is expected to reach Its national peak of Incidence in the early part of September, is carried person-to-person through intimate contact. Dr. Harry M. Weaver, research director of the national foundation for infantile paralysis, listed in a press conference the following tumors which have flowered with the increase in incidence: 1. That we know nothing about this affliction. 2. That it can be eliminated by a diet change. 3. That it Is transmitted by a particular food. 4. That epidemics result from spells of hot, dry weather. 5. That community epidemics can be stopped by insecticide. 6. That all victims suffer extensive paralysis. 7. That it can be controlled by closing schools, churches, and other institutions. None of these rumors has any scientific hauls, except as applied "under exceptional circumstances, Weaver said. He gave the following advice to be followed In time of polio eplin charge of the social hour.

demic: "Refrain from close contact with individuals or groups with whom you normally do not have contact." Weaver said scientists now know that polio is caused by a virus and that it is "transmitted most often by intimate contact between some individual harboring the virus and some individual susceptible to the virus." "It is transmitted through the type of contact occurring in households." Weaver said. "When one Individual in a household develops the recognizable fort* of the disease. the chances are that all others In the household are harboring the virus at the time "Whether the other individuals develop it depends on their genetic resistan* plus their previous experience with the virus. An individual is bom with about the same resistance as his mother, but he loses it In about six months unless he has come Into contact with the virus, if he comes into contact with the virus at any i time, and it is not in too great a quantity, he probably will develop a greater resistance within his I body." The incidence of infantile paralysis on a national scale this year is running 40 percent higher than last year at this time, Weaver said. east and southeast.
