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

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

FALLEN ANGEL-r-This is a view of Mexico City's famed
Independence Pillar, in the Paseo de la Reforma, as it was
(left) before the death-dealing earthquake which rocked
the city. The temblor toppled the figure of an angel that
surmounted the 90-foot-high marble column (right). Many
feared the fall of the gilt and bronze figure as an omen
of further ill fortune.
