Marine Calls Girl

PHILADELPHIA, May % (P),
Marine Pvt. Melvin Morris
hustled into a public telephone
booth in a drugstore and called
a girl in the Bronx, N. Y. That
was about 10 o'clock last night
The 20-year-old Marine said
he couldn't make it to New York

because he couldn't get leave
One word led to another and
then too many, and three hours
and 40 minutes later he hung up
BY then the drugstore had
closed for the night. Pvt. Morris
was locked in. He owed $40 to
the telephone company, which
let him run up the bill, as he
had run out Of coins. (Railroad
fare to New York is less than 81,
bus fare even cheaper.)
At Pvt. Morris request the
telephone operator called police,
who got him out Of the store.
He gave his name and address
to the phone company so 1t
could bill him for the call.

The plant. to be operated by
the Mississippi Valley Generat-

The project is strongly op-
posed by many iva supporters,

On Polio Vaccine Issue

than they had been in the field
test, caught many by surprise.
Curious Over Reasons
What DR.. Salk based his con-
clusions on is something private
physicians would still like to see.
The lack of information has
caused the loaded rumor along
these lines that DR.. Salk recon-
r1ended the spread-out doses be-
cause he knew the vaccine would
be in short supply this summer.
But some doctors say this was
expected.
Ironically, the Cutter vaccine
incident took much of the pres
sure for vaccine off the private
physician, who probably still
would be in the dark at this
point over many aspects of the
vaccine. BY the same token. it
has given him more time to ex-
anime what information he can
find on the vaccine.
BY and large. most doctors
have faith in the vaccine. Their
main criticism is with the way
the vaccine was suddenly pushed
at them and who pushed 1.-THE

They feel they were left out"

Center of Farming Area
The graceful brick courthouse
reminds you that this is a coun-
ty seat. Across the street, the
sweet smell of cattle feed from
a warehouse tells you it's the
center of a farming section.
This Is Fairfax, Va, whose
Mayor calls it "a fine little town."
Celebrated for its history,
especially its role in the Civil
War, Fairfax stands unhurried
and unexcited as it faces the
last phase of its expansion.
It's oldtimers want to retain
something OF the intimate char
acter Of the town. Its latecom-

some of those, it recalled the

BY JOHN McKELWAY

One Of the significant situa-
tions in the troubled vaccine pic
ture has been the role of the
private physician.
Quite an individualist, trained
to question everything. he likes
to weigh this or that before
making his move. His judgments
often are based on what a
respected colleague says, what
he's read in his journals, what
he's heard at medical meetings.
But the extraordinary position
In which doctors found them
selves when the vaccine was an
nounced. and for the most part
up until today, was that they
knew little more than the gen.
eral public. Most doctors are
pretty burned up about it.
Announcement Unprecedented.
Nothing in the annals of
medicine compares to the man
ner in which the effectiveness
Of the vaccine was announced
The drama. the built-up tension
Of the announcement in Michi-
gan, is chiefly what irritated
doctors. And since then, they
have found it difficult to get in
formation on some Of the scien-
tific angles of the now famous
Francis report"
Some doctors feel the Francis
report, which was the evalua-
tion of the 1854 field trial of the
vaccine, has not been adequately
disseminated. For example, the
widely circulated Journal of the
American Medical Association
has yet to print the report and
1t was only this month that the
survey began to appear in the
American Journal of Public
Health in summary form. Other
doctors say it has been withheld
from the medical profession.
Yet one doctor here, familiar
with the mechanics of medical
journals, feels the ANA journal
probably wouldn't have printed
the report in the first place but
would have attempted to present
something a bit clearer than the
rambling. statistical study. This
same doctor feels that many a
physician knowing through
publicity the "gist" of the report
would not have thoroughly
studied the material if it had
been presented to him say a week
after the public announcement.
Favored Progress Reports
Many doctors feel the Francis
report should have been handled
by progress reports from time
to time through accepted chan
nels and not in one final pro-
nouncement. Many feel the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis knew the substance of
the report long before it was
made public. And others will
not believe that drug manufac-
turers would have sunk millions
into production of the vaccine
on a gamble" that the report
would be favorable.
At any rate. the private physi-
cian-the man who was respon-
sible for giving the vaccine in
the final analysis-had little to
sit down with and examine.
DR.. Jonas Salk, vaccine de-
veloper, did publish some results
of work which he did throughout
last winter as he moved to fur
ther test the vaccine. But his
recommendation, on the day the
results were announced, that the
three SHOTS be spaced differently

Low Family Morality
The archbishop said it was
presumptuous to talk of an in

Other Roman Catholic leaders
blasted what they called a trend
toward low moral standards In
some film productions and movie
advertisements.
James Francis Cardinal Nc
Intyre, Archbishop of Los An
geles, scored this trend as a dam
ger to youth. He asked pastors
of his archdiocese to caution
their people. He said "the obli-
cation to stay away from enter
