- 9 - Believing that many WOSU listeners would like to know more about polio, especially during this annual period of the March of Dimes drive, Ewing took a tape recorder on his daily visits to the hospital for the purpose of preparing a documentary series on polio. That series of four programs will be broadcast on ”W0SU and You” which is aired each Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 and repeated Saturday mornings at 10:00, The first program on January 9, is entitled ”It Couldn’t Happen to Us.” In this program parents of polio patients tell of their experiences in the beginning of the illness before the children were hospitalized, A resident doctor answers the ques¬ tions: What are the early symptoms of polio? What should parents do when they suspect polio? Actual sounds of the hospital waiting room were recorded for this program. On January 16, the program is ’’They Live in Lungs.'* It’s the story of polio patients in the critical stage of isolation. One interview is with a patient in an iron lung; another is with a patient who just passed the respirator stage. The nurse supervisor tells about the special nursing care that’s needed. ’’The Long Road Back* 1 will be aired on January 23. It explains the various treat¬ ments given patients after the isolation period. Included are interviews with the head therapist of the polio floor in the hospital and a patient who is receiving water therapy. An interview with a seven-year-old girl just ready to go home closes the program. The final program, ’’Those Who Wait,” will be broadcast January 30. On this program parents tell of the impact of this experience on them and how it affeqts their routine of daily living. They also point out how the polio foundation helps them to solve their financial problems. These programs are being offered other NAEB stations via the tape network. POWERFUL RADIO FREE EUROPE TRANSMITTER STARTS BROADCASTS TO HUNGARY The signal power of Radio Free Europe’s short-wave transmitter to Hungary, located in the Frankfort area of Western Germany, has been increased from 10,000 to 50,000 watts, it was announced on Christmas Day by General Lucius D. Clay, national chair¬ man of the Crusade for Freedom . ’’This tremendous increase of transmitter power is a Christmas gift from the American people to the victims of Communist oppression behind the Iron Curtain—a gift that will give no comfort to the men in Moscow or their puppets,” General Clay said. ’’The stopped-up transmitter, made possible by the millions of Americans who sup¬ ported the 1951 Crusade for Freedom , now has sufficient power to saturate all of Hungary with messages of freedom and hope. It marks the first tangible results of the 1951 Crusade drive, which promised an intensification of the Cold War against the Kremlin in the Iron Curtain countries.” The new 50,000-watt Radio Free Europe transmitter broadcast almost a full day of Christmas programs to Hungary. The programs included carols, religious music, drama, news and commentary by Hungarian exiles about Christmas—all forbidden by the Com¬ munist rules who have launched an all-out campaign to liquidate the keeping of Christmas. ’’The Communists have gone as far as to announce that Stalin’s birthday must be sub¬ stituted for Christmas,” Clay said. "They have banned Christmas cards and trees
