As of now, 14 states have re ported , more polio than at the same time last year. Rhode Is land, Colorado, New Hampshire and Nevada are virtually "free" of the disease at the present time. Strikes In Cycles Spokesmen for the National Foundation for Infantile Faraiy. sis said that, some major metropolitan metro-politan centers may have more than the usual polio this .summer. .sum-mer. They recalled that with the exception of Los Angeles and Minneapolis, no major metropol itan area has been struck severely in some years. The disease, according ac-cording to past performances, ap pears to strike in cycles, some times about every five years. During the 1948 polio season, which usually begins about May 1 in the southern states and grad ually moves northward,- approxi mately' 117,000,000 were spent for hospital care of patients. Of the amount, national headquarters of the foundation provided $8,700,000 and local chapters of the organ ization about sio.000,000. Of the 27,658 cases reported, it was- estimated that 50 per cent or more had complete , recovery. The increased percentage of recoveries, re-coveries, foundation medical sci entists say, has resulted from bet ter techniques of diagnosis and earlier hospitalization. Polio Season Here With the 1949 polio season about here, foundation scientists emphasized again that no effective effec-tive drug has been developed to fight off infantile paralysis. One promising drug was given human hu-man trials last year, but results were inconclusive. ' The drug is back in the laboratory lab-oratory now for further trials on experimental animals. Science has made some progress prog-ress toward developing a vaccine against polio, but the experts poin,t out that the disease is caused by a family of viruses and that no vaccine will be effective until un-til immunity against all types of the virus can be included.

By VIRGINIA MACPHERBON HOLLYWOOD, May 4 - (UJD Pollsters have reported " that the people who plunk down 85 cents to see a movie even twice are- few and far between. But take the case , of the poor guys who make the things. They have to sit through 'em 30 to 40 times! And the gent who reallygets the callouses is the director. Edward Ed-ward Buzzell said he's seen his latest epic "at least SO times." "It's good," he said. -But no movie is THAT good." Along about the 26th time he knew all the lines by heart and he was wondering why he ever wound up in this business In the first place. i First, Daily Rushes "Your first peek at the film," Buzzell said, "begins with the daily 'rushes.' .That's when you see what went through the cameras cam-eras during the day. When the picture's pic-ture's finished you put .these through an editing machine. Then you start cutting. A few weeks and dozens of showings later he winds up with three or four "possibilities." "YOu run these over and over again," Buzzell sighed, "trying to find the best print. And by now you are sick of the whole mess." But you can't stop here. Next comes the first "sneak" preview. "You drive to some little town with all the top executives of your studio," he said. "You have butterflies but-terflies in your stomach and bags under your eyes and you are so bored with your owi movie you don't see how anybody could possibly like it." Maybe the customers laugh in all the right places. The butterflies butter-flies go away. But not the bags. Because now the director has to "sneak" his epic in eight or 10 other towns. And he's supposed to show up every time. Press Review, Next You think this is the end? Nope. Next .... the press review. re-view.

"But later you get to thinking. You remember the audience wits full of your friends. They'd probably prob-ably pretend theyliked the picture pic-ture even If it was gosh-awful. "So, where are you when your movie opens at the downtown theater? Right in the balcony with the customers, the ones who paid to see the thing.
