"A VACCINE that could protect you against
up to 100 different viruses - this is an
ultimate result, envisiOned by DR.. Jonas
Salk, Of research now going on in many
laboratories across the country.
From the new knowledge about virus
diseases and vaccination gradually accumu-
lating in many laboratories, DR.. Salk told me
recently, it is possible to fOresee the devel-
opment of such q vaccine. THAT doesn't
mean we've arrived, or even know how long
it will take to get there" he added. "But it
is the logical outcome Of present research"
The scientist who developed the vaccine
which has virtually eliminated the polio
viruses as a public-health problem first de-
scribed this powerful medical weapon of the
future to physicians at an annual meeting of
the American Medical Association last fall.
He told them that our present method of
immunizing people against illnesses with
many separate vaccines for instance, those
for influenza, polio, smallpox, measles,
mumps, etc. = could be extended through
research to the control Of virus diseases
generally with the use Of a single vaccine.
IL it blocked virus attacks in childhood,

Or. SALK's NEW RssEARcH CENTER
WhiIe directing the Tirus Research Lab
Orutory Of the University Of Pittsburgh, DR..
Jonas Salk became uOrd famous for develop
ing polio raccine. In the fall Of 1868 he uiu
become director Of The SGk institute for
Biological Studies in San Diego, Calf.
The Institute isiu be built mith funds to
be raised BY the National Foundation and
,cith other public contributions. Conceived BY
DR.. Salk. IL siu be a center for outstanding
scientists Of many countries. They ttiu ex-
change ideas and pool their knowledge and
questions about the structure Of liring material
and hOc it functions. From this uiu come
ansuers to problems Of disease and health.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-08

this vaccine might also prevent many disas-
trous diseases of later life, DR.. Salk pointed
out. For some scientists now believe that
certain nerve disorders, cancers, and even
diseases of the heart and other organs may
be the result Of viruses that cause slight or
no symptoms in childhood. They may remain
dormant in the system for years before
their damaging effects are seen in an adult,
in the form of disease.
Physicians and scientists who heard Dr.
Salk's speech we're Immediately aware that
this bold concept had wide implications for
preventive medicine. However, although the
subject is of vital public interest, only a
limited professional audience has known
about it up to now.
Informing fIse public
DR.. Salk agreed to answer my questions
about his challenging statement to the ANA,
translating it into layman's language, because
he recognizes that scientific progress requires
an informed public. He speaks with quick,
warm enthusiasm about his work, or when
he's teaching someone to understand diff
cult scientific idea. A handsome, youthfully
vigorous man - dark.haired, touch of gray
at the temples, glasses he has a quiet,
confident intensity, and he looks about Is
years younger than his actual age of AZ.
Before We started DR.. Salk warned me,
Il want to say I'm not interested in making
predictions. am interested in the nature of
viruses and the nature of the immune mech
anism. My colleagues and I are trying to
deepen our understanding of these basic
biological problems. In this way we hope
to enrich the body of scientific experience.
From this experience will eventually come
preventions and cures"
