Two Paralysis Research
Discoveries Announced

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10 F.-
Two scientific advances against in
fantile paralysis were announced
today by researchers at Stanford
University and the University Of
California.
Extraction Of the disease virus IN
almost pure form. a step regarded
as important In the efforts toward
preventing infection, was reported
by DR.. Edwin w. Schultz and Dr..
Hubert Loring of Stanford.
Results of year-long study open
ing the way toward possible i'm
provements in repairing muscular
damage caused by the disease were
announced by DR.. Leroy Abbott, DR..
j. B. De c. M. Saunders and DR..
Verne Inman of the University Of
California.
Both undertakings were financed
by the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
Using an ultra-centrifuge, DR..
Schultz and DR.. Loring obtained
virus almost entirely free Of i'm
purities" with which it Is invariably
associated in the balm or nerve It's
sues, where it does its damage.
Drs. Abbott, Saunders and mman
studied the shoulder muscles Of hu-
man beings, monkeys, bats, kan
garoos, rats and marmosets to trace
the evolution of muscles and their
action on the joints. They meas
ured the strength of individual
muscles to determine which ones
might be used to best advantage in
grating to replaced diseased tissues.

$4,000 Is Granted
For Research on
Infanti|e Paralysis
Medical Sciences Body
Here Is Given Fund
For 20 FeIIowships

The National Research Council.
Division of Medical Sciences Of
Washington, was granted $4,000 for
establishment of medical fellowships
by the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis during 1910, it
was announced today.
The money was to provide for 20
fellowships, over a two year period.
Ten of the fellowships were in the
field of virus research and the others
in orthopedic surgery.
The grant was one Of many made
by the foundation. which derives
most of its funds from the proceeds
Of the Presidents Birthday Balls.
Received $sss 800 In Year.
The foundation revealed the
grants in making public its report
for the year ending September 80,
1910. The organization received a
cash income of s6S8,sOo during that
year. The Will Rogers Memorial
Commission gave $4,000 Of this,
while the rest came from the Birth
day Balls.
The sum raised by the celebration
of the Presidents birthday was ST.
423,924, it was stated. OF this, so
per cent went to the national foun-
dation. while the rest remained in
the communities where it was raised,
for the aid of paralysis victims
there.
To the Georgia Warm Springs
Foundation went $175,O00 of the
money which the foundation re-
ceived from the Birthday Balls. The
rest of the proceeds, along with
money left over from other years.
was distributed among institutions
doing research in the field.
Has 1000 Chapters.
The foundation now has 1000
chapters in 1900 counties. These
aid sufferers in their communities
and during the epidemics in differ
ent parts of the country last sum-
mer they rendered singular service,
the report points out.
In the national field, the founda-
tion's activities were separated into
five branches, the report said-virus
research, nutritional research, after
effects research, epidemics and edu-
cation. This work was carried out
by various hospitals, colleges, ETC.,

Scientist Sees Hope
OF Checking Plaques
As Result Of War
Experiments Disclose
How to Control Some
Bacteria infections
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star staff Correspondent.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Possibility
of new devastations of the world by
such a plague as black death or
black diphtheria--feared by many
as a result of the present war-is
greatly reduced by recent progress
of medicine.
This was stressed at today's meet
ing here of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of Sci
ence by DR.. Paul R. Cannon Of the
University Of Chicago.
Great plaques of the past, he
pointed out, have been due to bac-
terra. After entering the body, he
continued, "the ability of bacteria
to grow in living tissues depends
on forces inherent in both the bac-
terra and the host. At times, in
highly virulent bacteria, it is so
preoominant, due possibly to an un-
usual degree of innate growth en-
ergy, that under proper conditions
they can grow rapidly, feed eff
ciently and overcome quickly all
efforts on the part of the host to
prevent these actions.
Death Spreads Quickly.
This type of infection, fulrMnat-
ing in development and quickly
lethal in course, accounts, presun-
ably. for many epidemics, plaques
and pestilences.
But believe it is obvious that II
conditions could be so controlled
that bacteria, even after their en-
trance into the body, could be forced
IN remain localized near the portal
of entry. and in tissues unfavorable
for bacterial growth, many OF the
dangers of acute infection would be
removed.
what experimental evidence rs
there which warrants optimism Tor
the future solution of many OF these
problems? Why should not black
death. black diphtheria and black
scarlet fever return as modern pes
tilences? The encouraging answer
is that we know from study OF
similar infections in experimental
animals how some of them develop
and how they can be controlled.
DR.. Cannon cited his recent ex-

periments with pneumonia In rab-
bits. He explained that by i'm
munization with dead pneumococci
and injection into a normal rab-
bit of antipneumoccocal serum, the
native susceptibility can be so
changed into a high-grade resist
ance that hundreds of lethal doses
Of pneumococci can be injected with
impunity."
DR.. Cannon observed that sulfa
drugs given to human beings act
to stop bacterial multiplication and
dissemination through the tissues.
Presumably the drug combines
with the microorganism and either
kills it or so weakens 1t that 1t be-
comes easy prey to the scavenger
cells Of the blood.
Somewhat similar action, DR..
Evening star., 1941-09-26

Cannon believes, could be expected
in the more Illuminating types OF
epidemics. Individuals might not
be saved but the bacteria would be
so weakened that they would not
be able to advance into new ter
ritory-growing stronger with each
new man they killed.
Report on tuberculosis Made.
The association heard In another
report by Dr.. Florence B. Seibert
of the University Of Pennsylvania
that the thing that kills in tu-
berculosis has been tracked down.

when it gets in the lungs.
For 20 years chemists have been
tearing this bacteria to pieces. They
have gotten out of 1t several forms
of fats and sugars, none of which
have appeared primarily responsible
for its deadly action.
DR.. Seibert has concentrated on
the protein fraction. She found

We want America strong enough
to meet any possible attack before
it arrives and to turn the enemy
back so that our homes remain in
tact and our families secure" the
report said.
The convention delegates a few
moments before went on record. also
by voice vote, favoring repeal of
the American Neutrality Act and
lifting the geographical limitations
on use of American troops.
One resolution called for defeat

Delivery of the strategic materials
from Russia is expected over a pc
rlod of several years. Mr.. Jones ex.
planned. The prices paid will be the
market prices prevailing in the
united States at the time of deliv-
cry.
The s50,000,00 to be advanced to
Russia should be sufficient to take
care OF Russias needs for the next
lew weeks, Mr.. Jones said. During
the next 80 days or so, however. he
indicated that Russia might want
10 buy war supplies here in the
amount of s100,00O,00O.
