Destined For Fame
Continued From Page 81


By the summer of 1851,
Salk was able to mount plat
form in Copenhagen, Den
mark, and report that there
were three types of polio vi
rus.
"The task has been ac-
complished," he announced.
"Thc consequences that
will follow are self-evi-
dent"
He was speaking, Of course,
of consequences" that would
lead to polio prevention, and
of a task" which had inclu-
ded the achievements Of many
other scientists before him
who had overcome, step by
step, the barriers in the path
toward creation of a vaccine.
Polio Vaccine Is Created
Back in the United States,
he Immediately went to work
on the vaccine.
In the summer Of 1852, sure
that he had a vaccine safe for
human beings, he began in

cnce."
Next, a mass test of the
vaccine was needed. A COM
mittec of seven nationally
famous medical men deci-
ded that the idea was feas-
iblc and that 1854 should
be the test year. The Ma
tional Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis did the
organizational work and
financing.
On April IL, 1866, DR.. Tho
mas Francis, Jr., Salk's ole
professor, delivered a report
on the mass test. Near tho
end of it he remarked: II
may be suggested that thu
vaccine was so to 90 per cen
effective.'
Remains Modest In Fame
Since the dramatic Franci
announcement, the vaccin,
has gone from one provel
success to another. AS of Oc
tober, 1856, about 43,OO0,00(
people had been inoculated, a
least 100000 with thre,
shots.
Now that his great achieve
ment has been certified by ex
perience, Salk remains as mo
dest as he was at the tim
when he used to refuse med
ais with the remark that hi
work was "still experimer
tai"
He has turned over gifts
of money to a trust fund
for medical research; he
sold an expensive car that
was given to him and
bought vaccine for needy
children with the proceeds; !;
he refused alluring offers
to lecture, appear on TV
ard enter the movies.

possible his ready wit and

The death Of a 4-year-old

2 Change Vote
The sheriff disputed argyll
ments that the operation would
bring $400, 900 annually to the
county through the licensing
and a 5 per cent tax on the
betting. He said it would keep
industry from locating in the
area.
The vote last night was 4 to 3,
with Henry c. Wigley, who
represents the area in which
the arena would be located. alb
staining. He voted for the move
earlier, but said he thought it
now needed more discussion.
The two who voted against
the move originally were joined
by Louis A. Boehm, who was
absent at the Tuesday meeting.
Mr.. Rose said he would base
his suit on a bid to restrain the
commissioners from issuing a
building permit for the SO mil
lion arena.
He argued that a special ex-
ception is required for gambling
establishments other than those
operated for charitable pur-
poses.
The commissioners based their
action on 1945 and 1947 legis-
lation which permits licensing
of any gambling operation not
involving animals. This ex-
cludes dog racing, which some
have been trying to get started,
and horse racing. which is
operated in Anne Arundel by
the State at Laurel.

ball in which bettors wager on
individual players and teams

try. The game is popular in

Arlington Referendum
By Years End Pushed

ton before the end of this year,
it is virtually certain that the
present school board-with a
80 liberal majority-will vote
the needed approval for the
proposal.
However, the 1858 school
board, which is expected to
have a 80 conservative ma
jority, might not give the pro-
posal a favorable vote.
Under the petition system,
and with school board backing,
approval is not needed by the
county board. School officials
have stated that the new high
school is needed to cope with
an estimated 80 per cent class
room overload by the 1959-60
school year.
School Board Chairman
James G. Stockard said today
that he would support an ap-
proval resolution on a petition
request before the end of the

Tract Offered
For College


An offer Of a gift of a
50-acre tract at Ravensworth
in Fairfax County for location
of a branch college Of the Uni
versity of Virginia has been
withdrawn, it was learned
today.
However. negotiations be-
tween landowners and a local
college board Of control are
still going on for a possible site
in the Springfield area.
Harrison Mann, Arlington
State Delegate who heads the
local control board. said his
group is considering eight sites
in scattered sections of the
county. These sites include a
250-acre tract offered free near
Herndon by the owners Of
Sunset Hills Farm.
Mr.. Mann said all sites are
being given equal consideration.
He said he expected a decision
on a location would be made
next month.
The General Assembly, which
meets in January, is expected
to be asked for construction
funds for the Northern Virginia
branch. Glasses are now being
held in the old Bailey's Cross
Roads Elementary School.
A stalemate was reached sew
eral months ago on selection Of
a site when committee Of the
University's Board of Visitors
recommended the Herndon site
and a university advisory COM
mittee from Northern Virginia
favored the Ravensworth site.
Since the stalemate de-
veloped, the Northern Virginia
jurisdictions have appointed
the Board of Control to select
a site for a college which could
become a branch of the Uni
versity of Virginia or of some
other educational institution.
Edward R. Carr. Springfield
area landowner who offered a
25-acre tract free to go along
with the so acres, said the uni
versity was "given a lot of time
and no action was taken"
He said he also has offered
100 acres free of charge in
West Springfield, not far from
the Ravensworth tract. This is
part of a 1,400-acre tract on
which Mr.. Carr is getting ready
to build homes.
The original offer carried
with the free land a cash gift
of about $4,000 from develop
ers in the area. Mr.. Carr said
the cash offer also has been
withdrawn.
