...Asked his reaction to a bill introduced in Congress by US Representative James Morrison, Hammond, to set up a national institute for poliomyelitis, Gov. Kennon said that he thought New Orleans would be a good location for the proposed institute. "New Orleans has two of the finest medical schools in the world, Tulane and: Louisiana State universities' schools, and the fine facilities of Charity hospital, which make it an outstanding medical center," the governor remarked.
