Vaccinations for Polio
.Immunize Monkeys
In Johns Hopkins Tests
BY ths A.soeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, June 23.-Three
Johns Hopkins scientists reported
today they have successfully vac
cinated monkeys against infantile
paralysis.
1t Is the first time the micro
scope corps" In the fight against
poliomyelitis has" ever achieved
what the Hopkins people call solid
immunity"
The time when you can have the
family doctor give your children
"shots" against polio still seems
far off. The work by Drs. Isabel
Morgan, Howard A. Howe and
David Bodian at the Hopkins
poliomyelitis research center may
have brought 1t step nearer. how
ever.
They used an active" polio virus
to inmunize the monkeys, injecting
1t into their muscles.
Considered Too Dangerous.
On the basis of what they know
now the doctors figure it would be
too dangerous to give a child shot
of live virus. 1t might bring on a
deadly attack of the disease.
Ordinary vaccines do not use such
powerful infectious matter. They
excite the system into producing
"antibodies" which fight the virus
of disease without causing an
attack of the disease itself.
The Johns Hopkins doctors told
about their work In the American
Journal Of Hygiene.
They vaccinated Is monkeys with
muscle injections at least four times.
Some had as many as Is shots in
four months. Others were vacci-
mated only three times. Others re-
ceived shots just under the skin,
some got the dosage in their veins.
Some weren't vaccinated at all.
Injected Into Brains.
After the monkeys had time to
work up antibodies in their systems,
the doctors injected live polio virus
into their brains.
The doctors estimated these brain
injections were thousands Of times
more deadly than any infection a
man might pick up naturally.
None of the monkeys which had
at least four muscle vaccinations de-
veloped paralysis after their brains
were infected All the others
showed mo significant resistance" J"
The 81 not vaccinated all developed
paralysis.
Scientists have worked out way
Of measuring resistance to polio
the effectiveness of antibodies which
attack the polio virus. They call 1t
the liter" 1t is expressed in terms
Of Il in IS" II in rs, Il in 1,000," etc.
The monkeys which developed
solid immunity had titers as high
as In 5000. The doctors said they
believe this Is the highest ever re-
corded.
Research Continues.
They do not know yet what liter
is necessary to protect a human
being against polio.
The Hopkins team said 1t found
in the central nervous system Of the
convalescing monkeys the antibody
which neutralizes the polio virus,
with remarkably high concentra-
tions in the severely affected areas.
This was. hint the researchers
may some day be able to develop
vaccine for humans.
1t has taken the Hopkins center
five years to get this far along in
the search for ways to prevent and
cure polio. The specialists already
have used $780, 900 in March of
Dimes" money.
The National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis has just given the
team $425 900 more for the next five
years. Perhaps In that time they
can find safe vaccine for human
beings. Other polio research cen
ters are working on 1t, too.

FOR ZION:
Tension Mounts

To the Outstanding world, the
vengeful battle between Jews and
British over the question of whether
or not Jewish immigrants may be
allowed to settle in Palestine was
developing into an atrocity of bit
terness and savagery.
Invoking the ancient law of the
Modes and the Persians, the Jewish
underground in Palestine scored a
questionable victory by hanging two
soldier hostages in reprisal for the
execution earlier of three Irgun
underground members by the
British.
The British soldiers were hanged
and their bodies rugged up as
BOBBY traps-because, the Irgun
Zvai Leu1ni underground said, they
were spies for an illegal organi-
cation, meaning the British occupa-
ton army.
There were other incidents, pos
sibly less spectacular but also more
significant. An immigrant ship, the
Exodus, carrying thousands of
Jews to their hoped-for homeland
in Palestine, was refused entry to
port by the British and ordered to
return to France. Arriving at
France, the immigrants refused to
disembark.
In America, sentiment, par
ticularly among the more ideal
istic, was rising to something
of pitck. Many young Jewish
men left their homes in the
United States to serve aboard
immigrant ships. Mass meet
ings were held. Pro-Zion organi-
cations put the pressure on the
public in the form of full-page
newspaper ads and through
other media.

World anyways. Hughes used the
term "blackmail.
It was startling turn of events
that raised the 40 million dollar war
contract investigation from a comic
opera scene to the level of serious
drama on a national scale.
Moreover, the development
stripped some Of the hocus-
pocus from the proceedings and
revealed what probably was the
motivating force behind the
whole affair: The long-standing,
bitter, undercover struggle
among American air transport
companies as to who should hold
the chief monopoly on interna-
tiOnal air lanes.
Heart of the issue is Pan Amer
leans stand that, as pioneer of in
ternational air routes, it should be
granted a monopoly as the single
American flagship on present over
seas air lines. Washington split into
two factions on the question-one
side advocating the single air line
plan, the other favoring retention
of the present system whereby diff
ferent lines serve different interna-
tional areas.
Senator Brewster has long been
on record as supporter of the "sin-
gle flagship" theory; but whether or
not he has any material connection
with Pan American, no one, for the
time being, cared to say.

WISDOM:
No Exchange

Latest development in American
Russian relations sounded like a
clod falling on the coffin of enlight-
eminent.
Most thinking persons agree that
one Of the vital steps toward peace
full intercourse between nations
could be, under the right circum-
stances, a free interchange of stu
dents, scholars, professors and
other cultural personnel for the mu-
tual advance Of knowledge.
But now the U. S. state depart
ment, which has been working
quietly for two years on just such a
project for Russia and this nation,
has abandoned its plans toward that
end. Reason: A recent Soviet de-
cree forbidding Russian citizens to
give out information under penalty
Of 20 years Imprisonment.
Officials said the provisions of the
order are SO broad as to indicate
Enthusiastically that the Russian gov
eminent actually does not want to
participate in any reciprocal ex-
change of scholars.

BOX CARS:
Not Enough

More than half of the present box
cars plying the country's rail lines
have outlived their usefulness,
spokesman for the Railway Car in
stitute revealed in emphasizing
critical railway box car shortage.
Although the industry told con-
gressional committee last February
that 10000 cars a month could be
turned out by July if sufficient steel
and other necessary materials were
obtainable, actually builders now
are producing only 5000.
Failure to reach the 10,000-a-
month goal was attributed to the
inability to secure steel for the pur-
pose of shipments of large amounts
of steel abroad.
The car institute spokesman re-
ferred to the steel industry's state
ment that it is providing enough
steel for 1000 box cars a month.
But, he added, Sometimes other
shortages also hinder production"
Another hitch was revealed in a
complaint filed by the Office of De-
Tense Transportation with the Cana
dian government declaring that too
many American box cars are being
held in that country too long.

DEATH ROAD:
Safety Report

Compared with 1916, death is TAX
ing back seat on the nations high
ways this year, the semi-annual re-
port of the National Safety council
has shown.
For the first six months of 1947
the cross-country death toll stood
at 14,480. That figure is 8 per cent
below the 1890 fatalities recorded
for the same period last year. At
the same time, travel was II per
cent heavier this year.
According to the safety councils
report, 2,490 lives were lost during
June, which represents per cent
increase over the June, 1916, rec
ord. In view of the increased traffic,
however, it was marked improve
ment.
Even the larger cities in the ma
ton were decreasing their traffic
fatalities. New York whitfield it's
deaths by Is per cent and Los An
geles by Is per cent. Jacksonville,
Fla, was tops on the record book
with SO per cent decrease from
1916. Indication was that cities were
becoming more traffic conscious.

ELEVENTH VETO:

Russia used her veto for the 18th
time in the United Nations security
council, giving the back of her hand
to an American plan to keep peace

I Field Marshal Viscount Mont
l.. gomery, chief of the British i'm
perial general staff, suddenly was
called home from tour of the Far
East.
Montgomery returned to Great
Britain to advise the government
concerning drastic curtailment Of
the nations military establishment,
cost of which (3.6 billion dollars a
Year, could no longer be borne by
the threadbare British economy.
y In London, Labor government
q. officials, no longer able to stave
off a frank admission, told the
world that England's plight was
desperate, that the tight little isle
was on the sharp brink of ruin.
Prime Minister Clement Attlee, as
sailed with charges of ''bungling''
and ''failure to act" nevertheless
was given a vote of confidence when
he sketched out plan which would
have British miners work an extra
hour each day to increase England's
coal production, key pillar in its
economic structure.
The British crisis was born out
of four factors: Shortage of Amer
lean dollars (the u. S. loan will
have been used up by Christmas);
shortage of coal (not enough to per-
NIT industries to operate and re-
build stockpiles); shortage Of man.
power, and imitation.
, Morally weakened under the
~. threat of domestic political and
economic crises, the London stock
market broke swiftly, as sharp sell
ing hit all sections.
And, although U. S. state depart
ment observers scoffed at the idea
that developments in England had
produced reaction over here, it
appeared to be something more
than coincidence that:
A Shortly after London stocks
T. broke, wheat prices on the Chi
cago board of trade showed losses
of nine to nine and one-fourth cents
a bushel, while corn and oats
dropped off from three to four cents.
Industrial stocks also receded some
what on the New York stock ex-
change.
At the same time, it became APP
parent that the U. S. government,
faced with high prices of grain and
food and continued shortages
abroad, would issue call for an
other big wheat crop this year in
stead of reducing wheat production
goals as was planned previously.
AS the picture began to take
shape, the dominating motif ap-
peared to be economic insecurity
abroad. To what further extent that
would affect the people of the Unit
ed States did not yet show clearly
on the canvas.
