lifelong protection, the research
ers said.
Basis for this outlook is the
disclosure here yesterday that the
fertilized hens egg is an almost
ideal medium for mass producing
the most deadly type of polio
virus.
The process was developed by
DR.. Herald r. Cox and associates
at Lederle Laboratories. Pearl
River, N. Y, and reported by him
at a gathering of scientists for
the opening of the University of
California's new virus laboratory.
A great quantity of vaccine al
ready has been made but it must
be tested vigorously on animals
before it can be tried on humans,
DR.. Cox told a press conference
The deadly virus was made
harmless by growing many gen.
erationS of the organism until
some became non-lethal. This
docile type then was produced
for the vaccine. Already it has
been tested on a few monkeys.
They we're not harmed and it pro-
tected them against virulent, doses
of infantile paralysis organisms.
The vaccine made thus far pro-
tects only against one of three
main types of polio-the Lansing
type, rated the most deadly. There
is reason to believe the vaccine
can be manipulated so it also will
produce immunity to the other
types, the Brunhilde and Leon
varieties. DR.. Cox said.
Evidence that the weakened
Lansing type of virus can produce
antibodies was disclosed by DR..
Karl F. Meyer, expert on epidemic
diseases. Viruses similar to those
used in the hens egg technique
were processed two years ago and
last July had their first test on
81 children in a California institu-
ton for the feeble-minded.
All 81 youngsters had NO polio
in their blood before
getting the vaccine. All developed
these antibodies in a few weeks.
DR.. Meyer told newsmen.
This establishes that antibodies
can be produced in the human
blood stream, where they can at
tack polio before it gets into the
brain and nerves to cause paralysis
and sometimes death.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.-John l.
Lewis and his United Mine Work

to straddle the issue Of a presi-

The resolutions committee OF

But the leadership of these

proud perhaps of their privileges

miserably to live up to their trust.
And they have failed to protect,
