Amputee Held On False
Representation Charge
WASHINGTON, UP—The FBI
said Thursday that Peter Henry
Stream, 37, is being held in jail at
Havre, Mont., awaiting return to
Alaska to face a charge of falsely
representing himself as a disabled
veteran.
The FBI said Stream is accused
of making false statements in ap
plying for treatment at a veteran’s
hospital in Anchorage.
The FBI also said Stream alleg
edly made similar false represen
tations at various VA hospitals
but that the only federal charges
against him in this connection is
at Anchorage.
The FBI said Stream’s left leg
is amputated above the knee, but
that this is believed to have re
sulted from a freight train acci
dent and not from any military
service.
The FBI desribed Stream as a
suave, smooth talker.
The cancer death rate would
drop 40 per cent if every practic
ing physician this year discovered
only one early curable case of
cancer, the American Cancer So
ciety points ont.

55 Million Donated
In March of Dimes
Is 20 Million Short
NEW YORK, June 25—Ameri
cans contributed nearly $55,000,
000 to the March of Dimes last
January—more than in any pre
vious year—yet the sum fell r
short by $20,000,000 of meeting
the current year’s needs, Basil
O’Connor, president of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, reported today.
As a result, he said, it will be
necessary to seek the additional
amount through an Emergency
March of Dimes scheduled for
August 16 through 31. The deci
sion to hold the emergency appeal
for polio-fighting funds was made
late last week at a meeting of the
National Foundation’s Board of
Trustees, he disclosed.
“This year,” Mr. O’Connor said,
“confronts us with the greatest
challenge of any in the history of
the fight against polio, with com
mitments for a Polio Prevention
Program of staggering size and
the necessity of providing aid to
a record number of polio pa
tients.”
“I invite all Americans to look
at the problem from the point of
view of one of the 2,000 patients
who fight for breath each day and
night in iron lungs or chest res
pirators. Right in your own com
munity, among your own neigh
bors, there may be such a case.
For them the promise of a polio
vaccine is too late. They, and
thousands of others who are seri
ously disabled, depend upon their
fellow Americans’ generosity even
while rapid progress is being „
made toward final polio preven
tion.”
