A Nationwide preparedness

Medical Association, it was an
nounced last night.
DR.. David B. Altman, presi-
dent Of the ANA. said the asso-
citation was working closely
with DR.. Leroy E. Burney, Sur

States Public Health Service,
to alert the country's practicing
physicians to the dangers Of a
possible outbreak Of Asiatic flu.

He promised that corrective
recommendations will be sub

Mr.. Blatnik made these COM

He is chairman of the House

The Minnesotan bluntly &C

filter cigarettes as being COM

THE cigarette industry spent
millions to advertise them and
the public spent millions to buy
them. 1t was money wasted.
Tar and Nicotine
"It was shown that filter-tip
cigarettes yield as much or
more tar and nicotine than the
regular cigarettes"
Several scientists and re-
searchers who testified at the
hearings said their studies indi-

times it is fatal.
DR.. Lueth said that 1t was
estimated the rate of attack
of the flu in this country would
run between Is and 20 per cent
OF the population of any city
where the disease reached
epidemic proportions.
Reports indicate that strick-
en- patients soon become bed

lance therefore must, Of neces-
sity, be placed on home care

Vaccine Being Produced
Each community and the
country's 1911 medical soci-
cites will be urged to make a
serious study and have suitable
plans to cope with epidemics
that might occur, DR.. Lueth
said.
Several pharmaceutical man
ufacturers. he pointed out, are
producing a vaccine to combat

blame this on inhalation of

These contentious were dis

Chairman Blatnik said yes

He said when the testimony

II hope to be able to quit en-

Chairman Blatnik said the
witnesses who denied there is
a link between heavy smoking
and cancer failed to present a
serious challenge.
He went on to say the sub
committee heard competent
testimony that a reasonably
safe cigarette can be produced
with a proper blend of tobacco
and the application Of a really

During the hearings the man
ufacturers we're represented as
having turned to filter-tipped
cigarettes after the original

Witnesses said some of the fl
tiers were so effective that sales
fell off, and the manufacturers
began using poorer grades of
tobacco and less effective. Al
tiers. AS a result, they testified,
the smoker got more nicotine
and tar than before.
"As to advertising" Mr..
Blatnik said, "the Federal
Trade Commission has done
some good work. However, this
filter-tip phony should never
have been permitted to occur.
If either the law or its admin
istration is found to be de-
fective, we will make appro-
pirate recommendations to
Congress"
Mr.. Blatnik said his subcom-
mittee on legal and monetary
affairs will resume hearings on

ing in about 10 days, turning
next to so-called reducing pills.

tries where the mass use of
killed-virus polio vaccine has
not been economically feasible
would be logical places to test
his live-virus product.
DR.. Sabin's vaccine is taken
orally and is made with live
viruses which have been greatly
reduced in potency. After the
vaccine is swallowed. these vi
ruses multiply in the alimentary
tract, causing the body to de-
velop antibodies against the
disease.

rs per cent" Others have gone
as high as 80 per cent and have
indicated time will show that
the killed-virus vaccine does
not provide lasting immunity.
Physicians have little idea as
to the length of immunity pro-
duced by the Salk vaccine. Al
ready, however, it has caused
a dramatic drop in the Incl
dence of polio.
The Salk vaccine has been
proven so effective that it is
doubtful that mass testing Of
the Sabin live-virus product
could be done in the United
