NEW YORK, July 3 -_ 1A?) - The lio virus is striking farther and aster so far this year ‘than last in the United States.

By the third week of June. 37 Silica had more cases than a year ago The number of new cases each week was running about 10 per cent higher.

This could signal the worst year yet for polio. Last year was the second worst in the history of the United States, with 7.894 new cases.

But there was no way to pre- dict what will happen in the next few months, the most dangerous ones for epidemics. (he rate might keep going faster and higher. or change suddenly.

The United states Public Health Service reported 2,300 cases by June 19. or 36 per cent more than last year at that time. But. more than 900 of this year's oases were really hangovers from i948. They came from epidemics that began late last year, and which didn't tile down until early this year.

One danger signal is that the virus is so widespread this year. laid Dr. Hart Ii. Van Riper, medi- cal direcior of the National Foun- dation for Infantile Parhlysis.

That eans it may be spread easily to people who haven't been exposed to it in the last few years. The best medical guess is that it zprgsds by person to person con- ac . An encouraging fact in that no state-wide epidemics have appear- ed yet. such as swept North Caro- lina in 104s.
