A Battle Half Won--Full of pep despite a crippling polio attack that struck him before he learned how to walk, 18-month-old Robert Dusseau demonstrates his mastery over crutches at a local hospital. The youngster, a polio victim at the age of 12 months, 'flies on one wing' as he takes his first solo steps on crutches after only two weeks' instruction. Doctors hope to effect a full cure of Robert's afflicted leg. Full use has already been restored to an arm, struck at the same time.
