Efforts slim To Rescue i7 Aboard Bomber

SEATTLE. Feb. l4 - (AP) Ablaze and coated with ice. a Un- ited States Air Force 13-36 bomber has been forced down north of here, presumably in wind-tossed. icy Queen Charlotte Sound, with 1'7 men aboard.

Sixteen of the persons on the plane are crew members, the 1'lth a. civilian.

An extensive Canadian-American air-sea search started immediately after the giant, six-engined plane repqrted about 3 A. M. P.S.T. (8 A. M. E.S.T.) that it was being forced to "ditch" in the waters ap- proximately 460 miles northwest of Seattle.

Radio messages intercepted at that time reported the plane was afire in one of its engines. its in- struments were crippled and the craft was severely iced.

Messages from the crippled plane were relayed by an accompanying 8-36. which reached Carsweil All Force base at Fort Worth, Tex.. this afternoon.

The sister ship stayed In the vicinity for nearly an hour. trying in vain to see or to get in toucb with the disabled plane by radio Both B-iios were flying on instru- ments at the time.

Hunt. Begins

Alter first reports were received that the plane was in distress. Un- ited States Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and R. C.A.F. planes im- medlateiy began to fan out over the Queen Charlotte Sound wat- crs.

The first relayed distress signal said the ship was in difficulty while flying at 40.000 feet.

A second message. two hours ia- ter. reported:

"One engine on fire. Contemp- iate ditching In QtlSc-n Charlotte Sound between Queen Charlotte Island and Vancouver Island. Keep a careful lookout for flares or wreckage."

Finally the big ship said it was "going to let down." .

At that time the vi-aters of the Sound were being lashed by south- erly winds that reached 50 miles an hour.

Knowledge I Bequeatheti

To international Committee

NEW YORK. Feb. 14 - Sister

Elizabeth Kenny announced today.

that she will bequeath her know- ledge of poilomyelitls to an inter- national committee of orthopedic surgeons and neurologists.

She reported that doctors in thc United States. Canada and Eur- ope had notlfled her of their will- ingness to form a committee to promote her methods of- diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Marvin A. Stevens. an orth- opedic surgeon with a private practice in New York, and medical director of the Elizabeth Kenny Institute in Jersey City, is among the group who have agreed to see that her work is being used "as it should be."

He explained that “any group of doctors would be pleased to "work with her." because more experi- ments are proving her theories ac- curate. I-le said ‘that her method

of treatments should be supervisedl

by orthopedic surgeons from thcl onset of polio through recovery. For the next fcw years the corn. mlttee will act as an advisory council, helping her improve her methods and prevent. them from being misinterpreted, Dr. Stev- ens said. After her death plans are to see that they are not "racket- eered" by unqualified persons. Another function of thc commit- tee will be to determine where

‘new Kenny institutes should be

established. Sister Kenny said that her clinics are treating hundreds of patients in Minneapolis. Jersey City. Buffalo. Pontiac, Mich, and Riversicle,'Caiif. Others are follow- ing her methods in Winnipeg. Brussels, London, Madrid and Buenos Aires. _ ‘

Sister Kenny announced that she got through thc Iron Curtam in Czechoslovakia to open one of the largest training Schools for Kenny technicians in Prague. svhcre her clinic has 150 beds for cor:- tugious cases and 350 for convales- cent care,

COIIZFCSs granted the Australian nurse permission to enter and leave the United States without a passport. Several European count- ries also have grnntcd her this privilege.

Her immediate plans are to col- lect further data on the diseau and record facts in writing and films. She said that she already has material for a micro-photo- graphic niias showing all stages of polio, which she believes is sys- temic nnd attacks different parts

v of’ the body and not just the cen-

tral ncrvous system.

She attacked the National Fhtuid- atlon for Infantile Paralysis for re- fusing to let her explain to doctors there hei- method of early ding- nosis. She charged them with be- ing 50 years behind the times, ac- cording to recent findings, and said they were deiudlng the public.

She explained that more doctors had “recognized that the disease is not what they thought it was" and were looking for the new symptoms she discovered as a re. suit of hi-r 4n years of clinical ob- servatlons.
