Mr.. Maher explained most o1
the indictments were returned by

their attention on the gambling
problem. The special grand jury,
in a long secret report made pub

it isn't legal without a warrant. "
"Who gave you that advice?"

"One of the assistant United

the assistant prosecutors also had
advised him that police had to
deal with a prostitute more than
once before a case could be made
against her.
Mr.. Fischbach wanted to know
if 1t. Blick had always gotten the

Scientists at Hopkins
Report Isolation and
Transfer of Cold Virus

Medical science, for the second
time, may have isolated virus
which causes the common cold
and transferred it from one body
to another.
The achievement, reported by
Johns Hopkins Hospital scien-
lists, closely parallels common
cold experiments carried out dur
ing the last two years at the Ma
tional Institutes Of Health in Be-
thesda. The results also are SIM
liar.
DR.. Thomas G. Ward, assistant
professor of bacteriology at the
Hopkins School of Hygiene and
Public Health, reported the new
project in Baltimore last night.
He said the next problems facing
science are to learn If humans
can be made immune against
strains of cold virus and to de-
velop a vaccine against them.
Conducted With Prisoners,
DR.. Ward and DR.. Donald F..
Proctor conducted the expert
ments with prisoners at the
Maryland State Reformatory at
Breathedsville, Md.
First, they infected a chicken egg
with the nasal discharge of man
with a cold. Then they injected
broth from the egg into a second
batch of eggs. This reinjection
was continued five times-in the
hope of producing fifth genera
ton Of cold virus"
The scientists then injected 8
of 10 prisoner volunteers with
fluid from the fifth-generation
eggs. The other 10 received
harmless fluid. After five days
six of the nine infected men de-
veloped snifaes. Only l of the
10 given harmless fluid had a
trace.
On a repeat test, four of the
nine infected got colds and three
had traces. And, when five of the
men given the harmless fluid were
infected with the egg broth, four
Of them got colds and the fifth
had trace of the snif1es.
Begun in 1947.
The National Institutes of
Health experiments. begun in 1947
by Drs. Norman Topping and
Leon Atlas, produced colds from
the egg fluids in prisoner volun-
teers at the District Reforma tory
at Lorton, Va.
Last November the Bethesda
scientists reported that patches
OF the egg fluid. stored for long
period in freezers, failed to pro-
duce cold symptoms. DR.. Top
ping, associate director of the in
stitutes, said it has not been de-
termined whether all of the egg
fluid in storage has lost it's power
to cause colds, however.
Since large number OF virus
strains may cause colds there is
no way to determine whether the
strain isolated by the Hopkins
group Is the same as that found
in the Institutes experiments, DR..
Topping said.
Praising the Hopkins project.
however. he added that "a series
OF such reports" is valuable to
substantiate the earlier results
and develop new techniques in
the fight against the cold.
