Polio Victory In Sight
K\p» rit iky with the ('ox-icteric oral |)*'Ih>
vacinc in Florida and Minnesota certainly
apjx'ars to supjxirt the convictions of scien
tists and public health authorities instru
mental in its development. This conclusion
seemed inescapable on the basis of the scien-
1 it'ii reports deliveml at the rtx-ent Second
Annual ('onference on Live Poliovirus Vac
cines, held in Washington.
Tlie new one-swallow vaccine was "heralded
as not only the easiest of its kind to admin
ister. but also the safest and most effective.
Similar reports have come trom the Latin
American countries of Costa Rica. Nicara
gua. Cuba, and others where the vaccine has
been used extensively. Recently New York
state has undertaken a mass study pro>rram
with the new vaccine.
For all of these tests, an estimated 2,000,-
<Xio doses have l*H‘n contributed by the man
ufacturer without cost.
There are sijmifieant differences between
the Cox-Lederle vaeeine used in Florida and
Minnesota ami another oral vaccine, develop
ed by Dr. Albert Sabin, of the University of
Cincinnati. The first can be taken in one
swallow and grant immunization against all
three strains of paralyzing polio. The Sabin
vaeeine. on the other hand, requires three
swallows over a period of several months.
Kach of the three is a different polio type
and must be given in its proper sequence..
This makes for a major record-keeping prob-
i« m
Th< advantages of the three-in-one vac*
, iiu> arc obvious. One trip, one swallow and
immunization. Record keeping and adminis
tration are vastly simplified. In the ease of
Salk \ :u\ me. the fact that people are required
to get frequent injections is a major reason,
health authorities claim, why so great a per-
vt ntagv of the American public is not yet
fully protected against the crippling disease.
In late l'.*4»5. Dr. Cox set out with the bless-
ny and complete cooperation of the manage
ment of American Cyanamid Company’s
U-derle 1-aboratories. For thirteen years the
n-ad twisted and turned, through a maze of
scientific niadtiKaks and barriers. Even the
mtrodut tion of the Salk viacine did not deter
Dr Cox and his associates. They remained
firmly cominced that they were working on
a superior \a*x ine.
I(h1«>. after Id 'ears’ researvh that cost
lasierle #12 s miliion. the goal is m sifrht . . .
the end of the polio league
How Will We Exist?
S me time ago the llou«e Ways ami Means
i '-mmittee rejected the Forand bill, whkh
would pro\iiie government-|iaid medical ser-
vices of various kinds to the l«eneficiaries of
the M^-iai *evurit> system The ultimate cost
of thi< measure, according to reliable esti
mate- would l«e s<mu* $«.5 billion ^year.
The committee’.s action, it shotikl n«»w l>e
en.pha-l/ed. d«*-s no! mean that the bill is
dead The strongest kind >«f pressures will
u*ed either t«» resurrect it. or t*» press
thn>ugh another bill of a o>m|iarab|e nature
And that give- immediate ami urgert punt
to an editorial af*|iearing in the Tul.s.i llaily
World
The r writes: "How. in the liVht of
w hat already is in prospect in the way'of so-
vlal seiunty protection, can the ma" of the
American iss.pi*- rake on another heavy tax
-u< h a- the Forand bill contemplates where
another $7.a biiliorr-annually must Ite devluct-
ed from [mychecks. . . .
"We think cost i- an imjs»rtant considera
tion. we don’t care whether others so con
sider the matter. Moderate incomes ttnlay
are l»eing taxevi as high a- do fier cent; Sse
cial Security taxes are rapidly approaching
the 10 t»er cent Irracket. We think it is not
unfair to consider the individual in this mat
ter—and we mean the individual who is not
over f>6 years of age.
"W e want to know how these younger peo
ple are going to exist on only 50 to 60 jier
cent of their annual earnings in the years
ahead. It would be difficult enough in these
high-cost times to exist on 100 jier cent of
income—if we could only collect it!”
In sum. we art- going to have hi begirr
thinking in terms of what we can afford as
a nation if we are to prevent financial dis
aster. And that means that we are going to
have to look to means of solving problems
which do not involve piling more and more
burdens on taxpayers.
Billions In Dividends
As everyone who follows the financial
news knows, the stock market had many ups
and downs, some of notable size, in the first
quarter of this year — exactly as it has in
past times. r
But, to investors whose primary interest
is income, rather than day-by-day changes
in the quoted value of stocks, the quarter
was a highly pleasing one.
The New York Stock Exchange reports
j il
that owners of common Stocks listed on its
“Big Board" received the staggering total of
$2^09,257.760 in cash dividends during the
three months that ended last March 31.
These disbursements represented: The great
est amount of cash dividends ever paid on
listed common stocks for the first quarter of
any year; a gain of S.2 per cent ($182,836.-
430) over the common stock payments made
by the same corporations in the correspond
ing period in 1959; the 18th time in a row
that first quarter cash common dividend
payments by listed companies soared to a
new record high.
What happened yesterday won’t neces
sarily happen tomorrow—a truism that ap
plies to just about all human affairs. But if
past precedent means a thing, the more than
12 million Americans who have invested a
part of their savings in stocks have every
right to optimism.

DtM.I KOI S THIWs TO EAT AND DRINK
After a bomb drop* anywhere in thi- country. we
-ho-ikl drink no milk until the government permits
is ’.i do so Cows eating grass which has been con
taminated by "faliout" give ratfcowcLve milk Hus
ra.- •- the question whether we should eat butter and
cheese Ink s- the grass has been thoroughly washed
off by heavy rains, the beef of. the cattle may also be
contaminated The same could be true of sheep, hogs,
and other livestock Listen to CONELRAD for advice
Ground fish, such a* cod and haddock, should be
-afe to eat aho possibly- lobsters. But fah such as
mackerel, which swim near the surface, could easily
become radioactive Drinking water is very import
ant Fortunate are those families which have a cov
ered well from which pure water can be pulled up by
hand, a well nut dependent on electricity People who
get their water from uncovered reservoirs, or rivers
should have a supply of pure water in their belter.
Each shelter should thave a cot for each member of
the family and enough blankets to permit the family
to sleep for two or three nights until the fallout dis
perses. For further details write Col H W. Buch
anan, CD Director, Barton, Florida.
WH AT FALLOUT DOES NOT KILL
Fallout does not kill trees, so far as we now know
I further believe that the only 100'1 hedge against in
flation is acreage with growing trees and fireproof
apartment buildings.
Householders who have no basements should build
a fallout shelter in the back yard of concrete Mocks
covered with boards and about three feet of dirt and
properly drained; otherwise there should be a hand
pump to keep it dry. The floor of the shelter should
have some place provided for the deposit otf human
excretion, therefore each shelter should contain a
shovel and a can of Borax. One final thought: I ad
vise readers to be sure, before taking or renewing a
mortgage on any property, that the house has some
sort of fallout shelter.
