Cramer. Washington. National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis Source: An official Sponsored by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Sept. 23, 1937) and financed by contributions of millions of citizens, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is waging a unified fight against the crippling disease. For the first time in American medical history, the whole attack on this plague is led and directed by one national body. whose object is to eradicate infantile paralysis and to work unceasingly until the mysterious "maiming microbe" is conquered. The Foundation has 33 trustees, selected from all parts of the country and representing all walks of life. The officers are: President, Basil O'Connor. New York City; Vice Presidents, Walter P. Murphy. Chicago; William F. Humphrey, San Francisco; George E. Allen, Washington; James V. Forrestal. New York City: Treasurer, Raymond H. Taylor. New York City; Secretary, William F. Snyder, New York City; headquarters, 120 Broadway. New York City. The Foundation has been financed by four "Fight Infantile Paralysis" campaigns in connection with the celebration of the President's birthday. At the beginning of the 1939 campaign, the Foundation announced a plan to establish permanent chapters of the Foundation, embracing all the counties of the United States, to assist in local activities in the fight. Funds raised in all the campaigns are divided on a 50-50 basis, the National Foundation receiving approximately one-half, and approximately one-half remaining in the counties or states, where raised, for local aid. Net receipts from the 1941 birthday celebration were $2,104,460.53. Of this amount $1,007,594.69 was presented to the National Foundation and $1,096 265.84 was retained in the home communities. The Foundation is waging a four-fold fight on of the Foundation the disease, through scientific research, epidemic first aid, proper care-disseminating to doctors and parents present and new knowledge of the proper care which may prevent sad after-effects, such as crooked backs, curvature of the spine, twisted bodies, contracted limbs-dollars to orthopedic centers, hospitals and clinics for combatting human wreckage. Funds of the Foundation are given to various hospitals, universities, etc., for scientific research. From the organization of the Foundation (1938) to Sept. 30, 1941, $1,914,160.19 has been used for research education and emergency aid during epidemics, and $2,652,009.79 has been left with local chapters for aid in their home communities. Grants to cover universities and institutions have been made by the Foundation. All allotments of money are made on recommendation of a general advisory board consisting of distinguished doctors. The Foundation is established as a permanent organization to direct the national war on infantile paralysis until it has been stamped out. works closely with Federal and State authorities. The fund raising agency of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc., is the Committee for the Celebration of the President's Birthday with headquarters at 50 East 42nd St., New York City. Since 1938, Keith Morgan of New York has been the national chairman. President Roosevelt has authorized the use of his birthday each year since then. Since the appointment of Mr. Morgan as national chairman, a vast volunteer organization has been built up throughout the country embracing the states, counties, cities and communities and extending into the territories and insular possessions of the United States. This organization has over 10,000 chairmen consisting of men and women in all walks of life FOREIGN AFFAIRS-U. S. AND JAPAN AT WAR Hawaii Attacked, Then Tokio Notifies U. S.

Chronology of War With Japan Because of the International Date Line, which runs north and south in the Pacific Ocean, many, if not most of the Far East war conflicts occur on dates more or less ahead of the corresponding American date. For this reason the Dec. 7 date. for example, is more practically a Dec. 7-8 date. At noon Tuesday in New York the clocks in the following cities record the time as follows: Honolulu 6:30 A, M. Tuesday San Francisco, 9 A. M. Tuesday London 6 P. M. Tuesday Singapore 12 Midnight Manila 1 A. M. Wednesday Tokio 2 A, M.
