is that he wants to do every.

American Physicians yesterday
it might be a long time before
workable vaccine of that type
can be achieved.
In his report to the association,
DR.. Sabin said the prisoners who
received the vaccine containing
live polio strains developed virus
blocking antibodies.
The news came on the heels OF
the success of the Salk anti-polio
vaccine which Used a killed germ
and must be injected.
DR.. Hart Van Ripper, medical
director of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis,
which financed Dr.. Sabin's work,
said it is still too early to deter
mine effectiveness of the new
vaccine.
Thus, he said, there could be
no comparison of the Salk and
Sabin vaccines.
DR.. Sabin conducted expert
ments along the line for many
years, but in latter months gave
the live vaccine to 80 volunteer
prisoners in the Federal Reform
atory at Chillicothe, Ohio. Ages
of the prisoners ranged from 81
to 30.
He said he used three strains
of live polio virus and fed minute
quantities-about a 50th part of |
a drop-to each prisoner in a
teaspoonful of milk.
DR.. Sabin said the prisoners /
who took part in the experiment !
developed blocking anti I
bodies and did not show symp- /
toms Of polio. /
Still Experimental
He emphasized much work re-
mains to be done before it can
be said with certainty that a
taken by mouth is prac-
teal. He said further studies are 1
under way to find which of the
three strains of virus is the best.
The work of DR.. Sabin, now on
the staff of the Children's Hos
pital Research Foundation of
the University of Cincinnati Col
lege of Medicine. has been sub
sidized by the National Founda-
ton for over 10 years. DR.. Van

The scientist said it was not
known how long the polio germs
would be beaten back by the
but said he hopes for
40 years immunization.
