Unusual Experiment Slated To Determine How Asiatic Flu Can Be Transmitted By RENNIE TAYLOR AP Science Roporttr 1JVERMORE "Calif. OH A big hospital building internally bathed in "black light" is the setting for an unusual experiment designed to show whether the new Asiatic flu can be transmitted from one person to another through the air. Inside this building, part of the - Veterans Administration hospital here, are about 140 long-term pa tients. So long as they are pa tients they w'll not be ahowed to leave the structure, which has been equipped with a barber shop, a chapel and other features to make it virtually a fortress. The building and its occupants, as well as other units of the VA institution, await the onset of the expected flu epidemic which some health authorities say could affect as much as a third of the U.S. population The Veterans Administration dis closed the project today in an nouncing that the patient; in the building plus the 520 employes of the entire VA unit had volunteered to play parts in the test. The experiment is important be cause medical science does not know how the influenza virus ' moves from one human being to another. Some authorites sav it FIRE: OR 2-2644 POLICE: OR 3o633 MONEY: OR 3-6668 664 S. C. Stephens, Roseburg travels through the air. Others say it can infect :i person only by di rect contact with another who har bors the disease organism. Evidence on exactly how it is spread could be of help II might snow whether the flu organism could be stopped by a radiation oarrier. or whether some degre? of isolation is effective. Black light, or ultraviolet, as it is called, is a form of radiation. It makes certain substances glow brilliantly in the dark. It can kill some kinds of terms. It can cause sunburn. Long exposure could pro duce injury to the eyes. The walls of the test structure, known as Building 62, are studded with ultraviolet lamps, so aimed that their ravs do not strike pa tients or employes directly but ir radiate the air volume. Samples of blood serum have been taken from every patient in Building 62 und in all employes of the Livermore hospital instal lation. The samples are being checked for the presence of Asiatic flu at the government's communicable disease center in, Atlanta. From this the Public Health Service wd! know just which ones, if any, have had the Asiatic flu and which have not. ' After the expected epidemic sweeps through, blood samples will be taken from these same pa tients and employes and checked again for signs of flu infection. The employes generally will not have the benefit of ultraviolet ra diated air. If the percentage of infection among them turns out to be higher than among the patients of Building 62 it will be a pretty good indication that ultraviolet has some deterrent effect on the dis ease organism, said Dr. Harrison S. Collisi, manager of the Liver more installation. i,"Wj far . Morgan Issues Protest To Gas Price Increase CALENDAR OF IVINTS tomorrow iWtd.
