Doctors Are Beginning to Worry
Over S pace Flyers Problems

First is cosmic radiation. The
universe seems to be acting like
an enormous, superpowerful ball

space of much the same charac-
lteristics as the alpha particles
from radium shower the earth.
Most of them are stopped by the
atmosphere. Those that reach the
earth are capable of penetrating
lit several hundred ftet.
They increase in number at
least 100-fold at an altitude of 100
miles and above. Any adequate
shielding would require impossible
weight. The doctors know moth
ing to be done about it. The cos

forever limit the area in which

cradle time to an altitude of %

ANA Adopts Report
Easing Criticism Of
Truman Commission
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, June 12.-The Amer
lean Medical Association calls
President Truman's Commission
on the Nations Health Needs a
campaign year political expedi-
ency."
But the critical resolution
adopted yesterday by the AMA's
convention delegates was a wa
tered-down version of one offered
earlier.
The adopted report of a refer
ence committee held that the
ANA should not judge the COM
missions final report until after
1t is published in December. The
report was substituted for an earl
Ter resolution which would have
expressed complete lack of conf
dence in what it called "a politi-
cally inspired agency of the Gov
ernment."
The approved resolution also
omitted any reference to DR.. Paul
Magnuson of Chicago, chairman
of the Presidents commission. The
earlier resolution proposed official
cenSure of DR.. Magnuson for what
it called attacks on ANA leaders.
The report said the formation
OF the commission constituted "a
complete change of strategy on
the part of the administration in
Washington s.. seemed to be
calculated to relieve pressure
which had developed as a result
OF Mr.. Oscar Ewing's proposals.
The timing of this shift is i'm
portant, since it came during a
campaign year." Mr.. Ewing is
Federal Security administrator.
The report said the commission
was set up for only one year and
it wouldn't have time to investi-
gate thoroughly all aspects of its
assignment. 1t added:
Your committee has received
testimony from persons who have
participated in panel discussions
of the Presidents commission and
who have subsequently received
abstracts of their remarks as pre-
pared by employees of the COM
mission. The nature of these
abstracts supports the impression
that the thoughts. the speakers
intended to convey to the panel
were colored and slanted.
I'VE commend the Board of
Trustees for the restraint it has
shown regarding some of the
statements attributed to DR..
Magnuson. We believe further
that it has acted properly in
pointing out certain inaccuracies
and misstatements in criticisms
made by individual members of the
medical profession"

EXCL Appeals Disability Rating
In 4OO-MIe Wheel Chair 7rip

The eternal mystery Of the
human mind and a clear-eyed
veteran with withered legs defied
newly discovered skills of medical
science at the Veterans Admin
istration yesterday.
The man said he couldn't walk
because his legs were paralyzed.
The doctors said he could walk if
he would make up his mind to
do so. There is nothing wrong
with his spine, his nerves or his
muscles. they reported. The
trouble is all in some buried recess
of his mind, they believe. And
there is nothing wrong with his
brain. the doctors reports added
The man, Malcom T. Preece, jr.,
of Louisa. KY, said he is con-
vinced the doctors are wrong. If
he could walk, he said. he would.
And he is a man of great deter
limitation.
In the wheel chair to which
he has been confined since
1949, Mr.. Preece set out alone
from his home 400 miles away
to present his case before the
Board of Veterans Appeals here
Wants 100 Pct. Rating.
He feels he is entitled to 100qo
disability rating because he is
paralyzed. The VA doctors in
sist it should be no more than 80
Iper cent.
Mr.. Preece arrived at the hear
ing ahead of time.
II had to sit up all night in a
gas station in Lexington, KY" he
said, but a Navy man came
through and drove me all the way
to Washington. Then lady cab
driver picked me up and brought
me here-didn't charge a dime,
either"
After the hearing Mr.. Preece
said he planned to get right back
on the road and hitch-hike to
Louisa.

Polio Immunizafion
Possibility Described
AT ANA Convention
By Thomas R. Henry
Science Editor OF the Star

CHICAGO, June 12.-Possibility
of producing immunization against
|poliomyelitis was described before
the American Medical Association
here today by DR.. Henry w
Kumm, assistant director of re-
search for the National Founda-
ltion for Infantile Paralysis.
Thus far it has been impossible
to produce any effective vaccine
It recently has been shown, he
said, that the ability of at least
one strain to produce paralysis in
monkeys can be enormously re-
duced by injections of a fraction
|of human blood which contains
|antibodies to the infection.
Hope to Produce Antibodies.
It also has been shown that the
|pathogenicity of one strain, pos
|sibly all, can be reduced by re-
'peated test-tube cultivation and
there is good hope that eventually
strains may be produced which
will not cause the disease but will
produce the requisite antibodies in
the blood.
1t has been found, DR.. Kumn
said, that the hundreds of strains
of the polio virus, an infinitesimaly
minute organism that multiplies
only inside living cells, fall into
three major families. Strains o1
one family produce antibodie!
against that family alone.
Thus a person who has hat
polio-probably everybody has il
a mild form-can get the diseas'
again when he encounters an
other family. Also, it was found
the polio virus and the virus O.
the mysterious and closely re-
lated CoXsackie disease which i
not paralyzing, may be found to-
gether in the same person. Thu
coxsackie virus may increase TIN
paralyZing effect of the poli'
virus. Both are found together il
files and in sewage.
Multiplies In 3 Stages.
It also has been determined
during the past year that tn,
virus multiplies in the body il
three phases-f1rst the stomach
then the bloodstream and finall.
the nerves and brain. 1t used tt
be thought that it went directl.
to the brain by way of the olfac'
tory nerve when breathed il
through the nose, supposedly tn
method of infection.
The olfactory nerve has beer
removed in monkeys. They still
could be given paralyzing infection
by mouth. but not if the throa
was painted with iodine. So it nov
is believed that the primary infec'
ton route is through the stomach
The multiplication may stop be-
fore the virus reaches the brain

have antibodies in the blood with
out knowing they have had tn,
disease.
The tonsils seem to have
strong protective role. In one bat
epidemic it was found that thos
with tonsils removed were thre,
times as likely to get paralyzin,
polio and eleven times as likel,
to have the disease hit the medull;
of the brain, where breathin;
centers are located. It was fount
that higher fatality among ami
mails is produced by injection
with cortisone or acth.

The Air Force said the new

by the International Civil Avia-
tion Organization because many
foreign pilots were unable to pro-
nounce intelligently the predomi-
