GENEVA, May 10.-This is
May 1854 by the calendar but,
historically speaking, it so
closely parallels March 1886
that the resemblance Is startl-
ing. For it was then that
Hitler marched into the Rhine
land while the allies stood
indifferently by and quarreled
with one another. Three and
q half years later World War
II had broken out.
Has World War III been
brought nearer by the events
Of the last month? Has the
atomic war which America
breads so much become in
evitable as a consequence Of
the weakness Of the allies?
For In every country on our
side, including the United
States, the diSSension created
by the politicians for partisan
advantage has paralyzed the
executive power and what
should be a firm stand against
Communist aggression by an
alliance of armed forces has
become a faltering attitude at
q crucial moment.
The German archives. dis.
covered after Hitler's death,
reveal that the Nazi leader was
Quaking in his boots as he
marched into the Rhineland
and could have been re-
strained had the allies acted,
together. Instead, they failed
to take any military action
because their peoples were
shell shocked by World War I
and they believed another war
was unthinkable.
Today the Communists are
flushed with their successes.
Perhaps the real turning point,
future historians will say, was
the refusal of Britain and our
other allies in 1850 to sanction
the plan Of Gen. Macarthur
to pursue enemy planes into
Manchuria and to destroy
Communist bases of supply in
Red China. The Truman
Acheson administration failed
to assert American leadership
at that vital stage and the
whole course of history was
changed. Indeed when Gen.
Macarthur was Summarily
dismissed by Mr.. Truman, it
was like notifying the Com

Scientists Find Way
To Make Polio Virus
In Huge Quantities
By the Assoeioied Press

BALTIMORE. May 1O.-Scien-
lists working here and at the
University of Minnesota have
discovered human polio viruses
multiply fast and completely de-
stroy at least two types of human
cancer tissue.
The Importance Of the tests,
made in test tubes, is greater in
the search for a polio cure than
in the battle against cancer, ac-
cording to the American Cancer
Society which disclosed the ex-
periments.
The work was done jointly by
a group at the Johns Hopkins
medical institutions in Baltimore
headed by DR.. George o. Gey
and another at the University Of
Minnesota headed by Drs. Will
liam F. Scherer and Jerome T.
Syverton. !
They showed a cancer-em-
bedded polio virus multiplied
from 100 to a million viruses in
two or three days and complete
ly destroyed the cancer in which
they were cultured within IL to
100 hours.
The scientists also found they
could stop the multiplication Of
the polio virus easily by intro
ducing polio serum antibodies
into the test tubes.
This all occurred in test tubes.
on a strain of cancer DR.. Gey
has been growing at Hopkins for
three years. There is nothing to
indicate the same thing might
happen In the human body.
Most important discovery from
the test is that it provides q
breeding ground for producing
the polio virus in enormous
quantities for laboratory expert
mentS.
The work is being financed by
the National Polio Foundation,

Service and the American Cancer
