Red Cross TO Expand
Blood Serum Supply
For 1853 Polio Fight

The Red Cross will undertake
IA dramatic expansion Of its pres
|ent blood program and attempt
ito make available all the gamma
globulin possible for next sum-
.mer's fight against polio.
This was revealed here yester-
day at the 51st annual conference
of the surgeon general of the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice and the Association of State
Health Officers.
| According to statement from
E. Roland Hartman, president
Iof the American National Red
Cross. the Red Cross accepted the
formidable job at the request of
the Office of Defense Mobilization.
Found Effective.
Gamma globulin, a fraction of
human blood, was found to be
defective last summer in reducing
the paralytic effects OF polio.
Some $1,000 children were in
Ejected with GG in a mammoth
experiment. held in a number of
States. Doctors found that GG
seemed to be effective over a
period of from four to five weeks.
1t contains antibodies that are
said to fight the three strains of
the polio virus.
According to Mr.. Hartman, no
large quantities of gamma glo-
bulin are available. The total
processing facilities of the country
are limited. Laboratories have
been asked to work at full capacity
in the production of GG imme-
diately. 1t takes about one pint
of blood to make an average does
Of GG, as used in the treatment
of polio.
The Red Cross will not allocate
or distribute GG, Mr.. Hartman
said.
Consultation Asked.
Since the amount of globulin
needed will exceed the expected
supply" he said. "the Office of De-
fense Mobilization has requested
the National Research Council to
consult with professional, indus
trial and governmental groups to
determine the most feasible meth
cd of ALLEGATION and distribution
in time for the next polio season. ;"
Mr.. Hartman said the Red
Cross overall blood program
could be effective only if million
Ipints year were collected. The
program also includes blood for
hospitals and the armed forces.
Sectional Epidemics Forecast.
Mr. Hartman said past ex-
perience indicates that polio may
strike an epidemic proportion in
at least $50 counties next sum-
mer. This would expose million
children in those counties.

Two heavy cruisers soon will
be converted by the Navy into
the worlds first known guided
missile ships.
An authoritative source said to-
day that the 13,O00-ton Canberra
and Boston. which have been in
mothballs in the Pacific Fleet.
would begin voyages, probably
within the week, to East Coast
yards for a start on remodeling.
This source said the Navy ex-
Ipected that guided missiles for
their main armament will be
available when the extensive
changes in the warships have been
completed, but he declined to pre-
dict when that would take place.
Funds for the start of the work
are contained in this years budget
and it is expected that additional
appropriations will be sought in
the fiscal program now being con-
sidered by President Truman.
The main Armament of the two
Baltimore class cruisers consists
of nine 8-inch guns in two for
ward and one after turrets and it
is expected that this armament
will be taken off to make room for
guided missiles. Big guided
missiles use either conventional OF
atomic warheads.
The ships also will require en-
tirely new and more complete fire
control systems and extensive
storage facilities.
Both ships were commissioned
in 1943. Ten of the Baltimore
class cruisers went into the reserve
fleets after World War II.
Navy Silent on Work.
Conversion of major warShip,
such as an aircraft carrier, takes
one to two years Conversion into
a guided missile ship-an entirely
new field-might require even
more time.
Then, too, it might require at
least that long to bring into prac-
tical, operational form true
long-range guided missile for
shipboard use.
The Navy has been reticent
about its devele pment of guided
missiles but Admiral William M.
Fechteler, Chief Of Naval Opera
tions, said recently that:
I'm view of the large and con-
tinually mounting costs of deliv-
ering the atomic weapon at its
target, the paid-up investment in
the reserve fleet suggests a means
of reducing the costs of delivering
atomic weapons by conversion of
ships of all types to guided missile
ships"
Contract Awarded.
The Navy announced about a
year ago award of a contract for
production of small missiles for
shipboard use of the fleet, but
these are anti-aircraft types.
Major problem in the long-range
missiles is guidance over the
earth'S curves.
Conventional sighting and gun
fire spotting systems will be of no
use when the target may be scores
or hundreds Of miles inland or an
enemy fleet cruising leagues be-
yond the horizon. The new fire
control systems thus must contain
Iradar devices to show the course
and keep the missile on the initial
phase Of its path after launching.
This official said, in answer to
a question, that if the experiment
with the cruiser conversion proves
satisfactory the Navy might de-

eide to use some of its mothball
battleships in the same program.
There are six fast battleships of
the Indiana, South Dakota and
North Carolina class in reserve.
He said he thought it better
to use reserve cruisers or battle
ships which are complete and
have all their costly propulsion
machinery, ready to run. This
appeared to- rule out the chance
that the Navy might turn to the
partially complete Kentucky and
Hawaii. In 1916 it was announced
that the Iowa-class battleship and
the 27,000-ton battle cruiser would
be used for guided missile ships,
but later this program was
stopped.
