Reports Govlt Unable To Resume Guaranteeing Of Homhg Building Loans

sag:-xioair CLUB, Que., Oct. 22-f The government is continuous review of revlylng its pre-war policy of gusrant eing home-improvement loans, R sources Minister Winters said tonight.

At present. elements of danger in over-expansion of credit are bloclcing any such move, he said in an address prepared for de- livery to the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating.

The Minister. in charge of fed- eral housing activities, recalled that the National Housing Act contains a section empowering the guaranteeing of home-lmprove- ment loans but that the section has not been proclaimed. It is similar to 1937 legislation under which the treasury guaranteed 550,000,000 in this type of loan.

Until recently, Mr. Winter said. it would have been unwise to pro- claim the' section because of scarcitiel of materials. By the time that was overcome. the gov- ernment felt :-the expansion of credit should be restricted.

Though most of the credit re- strictions were relaxed, it was felt "there are enough elements of the danger of uvszs ansion in cred- it" to Justify withholding pro- clamation "for the time being."

Mr. Winters said the policy is

OTTAWA, Oct. 22 -- (CP)-The Queen will appear on Canadian coins and stamps before corona- tion ceremonies next June. but it will be months before her likeness appears on Canadian paper our- rency. . ., ,

New Medicine

By ALTON L.-BLAKESLEE

CLEVELAND, Oct. 22- (AP) - Some children have been saved from polio paralysis by shots of medicine made from human blood, scientists announced today.

"It is the first means of pro- tecting man against paralytic pollo." Dr. William Hammon,-Uni- versity of Pittsburgh cpidemioio - ist. reported to the American P lic Health Association. '

The shots are gathma golbuiir. -6.6. for short-containing anti- bodies against all three types of polio virus. The protection is tem- porary. lasting five weeks or better.

GB. is not a vaccine. not the full, final answer to'polio.

Tests on 55,000 Texas, Iowa and Utah children. 1 to 11 years old. showed that G.G. supplied by the American Red Cross could signi- ficantiy reduce paralysis, and make some paralyzing attacks milder.

Highly Encouraging

The news was hailed by medical and health leaders as "highly en- couraging" and offering a practical method now of reducing the num- ber of polio victims. The number of persons afflicted by the disease in the U.S. this year is, expected to run to a record 60,000.

Now, many agencies must co- operate to obtain G.G. from per-

haps as much as 2.000.000 pints of blood or plasma to battle polio

A special drive for blood dons- tions might be called.

The G.G. would be used only in polio-stricken areas to save some children and halt an epidemic.

There couldn't possibly be enough G.G. to give' it to all the children, O'Connor said.

The G.G. tests this summer and last were the greatest human field trials in medical history. They cost 51,000,000 in March of Dimes funds.

The first results were described by Dr. I-iemmon and Drs. Lewis L. Corieli. Camden. N..l., Paul F. ,Wehrie, 11.5. Public Health ser- vice, Christiari R. Klimt, Rocke- feller Foundation, and Joseph Stokes, Jr.. University of Pennsyl- vania. -

Neither shot could do any harm. but the geltain could do no good.

liiancda CM-ay inhoduce Own Resolution

By Norman Ali-slcdter

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. Oct. no -(CP)- The political commit- toe of the United Nations Assemb- iy tonight decided to give top pri- ority to a debate on the Korean war.

A Russian attempt to have the committee take up first a Polish "peace plan" was defeated when the committee voted 51 to 5 (So- viet bloc) with four abstention: to put morea first on the list of sub- jects to be discussed. Tunisia and Morocco were placed second and third.

Russia had called for an im- mediate debale on the Polish plan which included provisions for set- tling the Korean conflict on Com- munist terms but this was rejected in two votes.

First the committee refused by a vote of 4-4 to 5 to give the Polish proposal top priority. Then it vot- ed 4-1 to 11 against giving the Po- lish proposal second place on the committee agenda.

Tough Debate

The voting came after three hours of tough debate in which Britain, Canada, France and the United States pressed to have Korea debated first. They took this line of action despite the fact that Britain and France were known to prefer withholding any definite decisions on Korea until after the U. 5. presidential elect- ion Nov. 4.

Informed sources said, meanwhile, that Canada may place its own resolution on Korea before the political committee. These sources said a Canadian resolution, if pre- sented, would urge the as- sembly to call on the Com- munists to accept a truce on the basis of the latest U. N. proposals at Panmunjom.

The United states is planning to offer a resolution asking the U. N. to endorse U. S. conduct of the Korean war in the name of the U. N. The Canadian resolution would be put forward as an amendment to the U. S. resolution.

First Things First

Paul Martin. Canada's Health Minister and head of the Cana- dian delegation, told the political committee today that Korea should be the first topic of consid- eration by the organization which he said is trying to bring peace back to the world.

"First things must come first." he said adding that Canadians whose sons are fighting in Korea also feel that way.

The division of opinion on the explosive problems of Tunisia and Morocco was reflected in a pre- liminary vote to have those issues placed second and third on the agenda. The vote was 34 to 20 with six abstentions. Canada and, Brit- ain were among the 20 opposing the move while the U. S. voted with the majority.
