IT'S EASY IN RUSSIA

Pollsters and t h political
pundits m u be looking with
envy toward Moscow. Mr.. Molo-
TOW has just shown h W simple
the prognosticator's life can be.
For months h e official Com
munist press has filled its readers
full of Henry Wallace's great
crusade" In Belgrade the Com
munist paper. Borba, predicted
t h a t he would get 10000, 900
votes. If simple folk behind the
Iron Curtain got the impression
that Mr.. Wallace was the chief if
not the only candidate they could
hardly be blamed. So it was not
unnatural that there were some
questions about what had happen
ed him.
This was easy for Mr.. Molotov.
He doesn't bother to explain why
the millions of working people"
didn't vote for Moscow's erst-
while favorite. For Mr.. Molotov
would just as DON forget Mr..
Wallace. And-like a lot of other
people-he now thinks Mr.. Tru-
man isn't so bad. 1t doesn't mat
ter that Russian propaganda, and
even Stain himself. ha been
constantly denouncing the "ag-
gressive and war-promoting"
Truman administration. 1t does
not matter that f e W Americans
could draw distinctions between
the Truman and Dewey positions
on Russia. 1t now appears that it
was Mr.. D ewey who had an
openly reactionary and most
aggressive program
We ere not recounting this tale
merely to jibe at another display
of Communist consistency. Or to
point up h e fact that Russia's
political prophets h ave an ad-
vantage over Mr.. Roper and DR..
Gallup. The Molotov statement is
less interesting as an explana-
ton of tn e American election
t h a n as a possible indicator of
kremlin attitudes.
Can it be that Russia's leaders
want to ease off h e tensions?
Are they afraid the Russian peo-
pie will be alarmed by the f a c
that Moscow's peace" candi-
date got such a small vote? Is
that why they are now picturing
the defeated Dewey as most
aggressive" and Mr.. Truman as
relatively peaceable? Or have
they decided that noting up the
cold war is improbable and since
they must deal with Mr.. Truman
it is time to lay a S d e insults?
Stranger things have happened.

Polio Vaccine Is Tested
on Rats; Success Is Told

WASHINGTON. - DEVELOPMENT
Of an infantile paralysis vaccine
said to be capable Of producing "a

tain type of rats was described in
the technical journal Science.
The report. describing the work
Of four Stanford university re-
searchers, contained no statement
as to any significance Of the studies
with relation to the disease in hui
mans.
The vaccine was prepared with q
strain Of infantile paralysis virus
experimentally developed in the
cotton rat. After vaccination, "a
rats we're exposed to doses Of active
virus. Only one of the "a vaccinated
rats developed polio-and it recov-
cred. In contrast, among a similar
number Of unvaccinated rats used
as CONTROLS" 83 per cent de-
veloped the disease. Three weeks
later, the original "a vaccinated
rats were given another dose Of
active virus 10 times stronger than
the original one. Only 93 per cent
showed signs Of polio. On the other
hand, 50 per cent Of a group OF
control rats developed the dis
ease. Hubert S. Lorin, c. E.
Schwerdt, Nancy Lawrence. and

Insects RecTuited to Lead in
Biological Attack.

PEARL HARBOR, H. /. - In the
latest Pacific war, the navy is re-
cruiting insects to spearhead its at
tack.
The attack is an all-out offensive
against insect pests which are raw
aging food plants in some Pacific
islands. Final plans now call for bio
logical control Of the pests-intro-
ducing their natural enemies for a
fight to the finish.
If the campaign is successful, the
control insects will live on their
hosts but will not themselves be-
come a nuisance.
This method Of control already
has been started in Micronesia and
will be pushed vigorously" said
Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, U. S. high
commissioner Of the trust territory

Scientists now are scouting far
flung Pacific regions for enemies of

But though the pretty brown

see Bill and he could not see her.
they liked the sound Of each others
voices. And a touch Of the hand
meant more than a glance. It led to

press himself in terms Of words pro-
dueed By gestures has been devel-
Oped BY Sir Richard Paget, 78-year-
old British lawyer and physicist.
Sir Richard, who has spent lS
years comp0unding his new sign
language for the education Of chill
dren born deaf. a task involving the
study Of primitive gestures in many
parts Of the world, demonstrated $50
ol the 5000 signs in the vocabulary

British Association for the Advance
ment Of Science.
With his hands, fingers and arms
moving slowly, he spoke in the sign
sentences which he said child Of
four could express in the new sys-
tenn.
I'VE all went to the animal en-
closure at the zoo. The monkeys
made Us laugh. The keeper fed the
sea lions with fsh. / wish you could

Sir Richard announced he was
proposing to try the experiment Of
educating a small group Of young
children deaf from birth by habitu-
ally speaking to them in the sign
language. which is totally different
from finger spelling.

deaf children themselves to speak

 To Try To Stop Black Marketing

MUNICH, Germany, (P) - The German economic council of the British and American zones - spurred by a 24-hour hunger strike by 100000 Bavarians- took steps Saturday to wipe out black marketing and food hoard ing and thus increase rations.
 The Bavarian state government in the U. s. zone announced it would wage similar drive and called on trade unions and farm ers' associations to help divert food from illegal channels into common rationing pool.
 The bizonal council in the se- verest law in its six months exist ence, decreed that all farmers and food handlers must report their complete stocks. Food not report ed can be confiscated under the new law and fines up to $3,000 can be levied for false reports.
 The lone Communist delegate was the only council member to oppose the measure.
 Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American military governor, said in Wash ington the U. s. army intends to step up the German basic ration from 1850 calories a day to l,80O by July l. He said food collec- tions from German farmers would comprise about 80 per cent of the targeD.
