Dental science may soon
come up with a vaccine against
cavities, clearing the way for
more effective gum and jaw
structure. the director of the
National Institute of Dental
Research believes.
Work at the institute over
the past year has connected a
certain strain of streptococcus
bacteria with tooth decay in
experimental animals. And it
is reasonable to assume bac-
terra may cause cavities in hu-
man teeth, DR.. Francis A.
Arnold, jr., declared yesterday.
He presented an outline of
research progress at the Den
tai Institute to the opening
session of a three-day SYM
postum on genetics and dental
health. Some 100 scientists are
attending the meeting spon-
sored by the American Dental
Associations Council on Dental
Research under a National
Dental Institute grant.
DR.. Arnold said later that
unprecedented dental research
toward tagging bacteria as the
culprit in human tooth decay
is at about the same point as
research in pinpointing viruses
as causes for human cancers.
1t has been shown that viruses
can cause cancer in animals
! and that bacteria can cause

of DR., H. David Kerr, 9812
Forty-ninth avenue, College
Park, and brought him to the
scene.
He pronounced Robert dead
at AIT pm, police said.
Police ruled the death acci-
dental.
Robert was a fifth-grade
pupil at the Holly Park Ele-
mentary School. He was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Gerard w.
Cote. His father is a Streetcar
operator for the D. c. Transit
Co.
Robert, who would have been
IL years old next month, played
on the College Park Boys Club

Besides his parents he leaves

Obscene Calls
Laid to Man

An Army civilian employe,
accused of making obscene
phone calls to a Falls Church
housewife. was released under
$1,000 bond yesterday pending
pSychiatric tests.
Frederick C.. Cohen, Il, of
the TOO block Of Kingsley road,
Vienna, Va, was arrested in a
phone booth Friday at the
Navy Building, Constitution
avenue and Nineteenth street
NV, where he works.
United States Park Police
said the arrest was made after
IL calls to the housewife were
traced to the pay telephone.
The final call was tape-re-
corded.
Army sources said the sus-
pect, charged with four counts
of diSorderly conduct, is mar
ried, the father of two small
children, and has been a short
hand reporter for the Army'S
Generals office since
1854. Army sources said his
security clearance has been
suspended.
Municipal Court Judge De-

animal tooth decay. In each case
it has yet to be scientifically
proven in humans.
DR.. Arnold said the only
hope for oral health problems
is in research leading toward
prevention. The role of bac-
terra in tooth decay, he added
is one Of the institutes leading
projects.
Studies stemming from work
with germ-free animals at the
National Institutes of Health
have shown that tooth decay
is actually an infectious and
transmissable disease. Germ
free animals, isolated from
bacteria, do not get tooth decay
regardless of their diet. But
when certain streptococcus
bacteria are given them, they
develop cavities.
If human tooth decay can be
related to specific bacteria, DR.
Arnold said, then specific
chemical agents or antibioticS
may be used to knock it out
Already institute studies
throughout the world have
shown that various diets among
large groups of people seem tt
have no correlation with tooth
decay-at least to date.

mechanical. approach woulo
revolutioniZe dentistry.
This new approach, however
does not by any means make
good dental habits outmoded
