Lead Toward Development Of Leprosy Vaccine Found
By FRANK CAREY
Anociittd Pren Scnnc Writtr
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP)
A possible lead towards develop
inc a lone-sought vaccine against
leprosy one of man's oldest
scourges was reported today.
A uoveininent researcher an
nounced successful (irowlh in test
tune tissue cull lire of bacteria
which causes leprosy in rals. He
indicated that this miylil open one
way to:
1. I'roducini; a vaccine against
the rat disease.
' 2. Perhaps ultimately developing
a vaccine against the human mal
ady. Dr. Y. T. Chang, of the National
Institute of Arthritis and Metabol
ic Uieseases and the American
Leprosy Foundation, gave this out
line in a report to the 43rd annual
meeting of the Federation of Amer
ican Societies for Experimental Bi
ology: The bacillus that causes human
leprosy is one of the wiliest and
I most elusive organisms of the germ
world.
I For many years, he said, re
searchers have attempted to
maintain growth of the organism
outside its natural host, the hu
man body. Though it grows vig
orously inside the body, it stops
multiplying and soon dies if placed
: in an artificial environment.

Survey Of Jobless Supported By Ike
WASHINGTON (AP)-Prcsident
Kisenhower has given House Re
publicans a nod to support a
Democratic proposal for a com
mission to survey the unemploy
ment problem.
As a result, House GOP chief
Charles A. Halleck of Indiana said
he is going to inform the Demo
cratic high command in the House
that there will be no organized
Republican opposition.
The bill for creation of a special
ll-member commission is spon
sored by Senate Democratic lead
er Lyndon Johnson of Texas. It
has passed the Senate.
Halleck announced his position
after the regular weekly meeting
1 of Republican leaders with Eisen
hower. I Hut Halleck said he has consid
: erable qualm about the matter,
especially if the projected unem
ployment study should get in the
way of action on such items as an
area redevelopment bill and hous
ing legislation plan.
If Republicans had originated
I the proposal for a commission
i study, Halleck said, it would be
I termed another stall.
the bug into outside growth be
cause, aside from possibly help
ing towards such an ultimate ob
jective as producing a vaccine,
such laboratory culturing of the
germs would allow a more detailed
study of the bacteria and would
provide a means for rapid testing
of possible new antilcprosy drugs.
Attempts to grow rat leprosy
germs outside the living animal i
body have, until now, been almost
equally tough.
Growth Down
Some investigators- have coaxed
some growth in cell cultures, but
the amount of bacterial multipli
cation was very limited.
Chang has come up with one
culture in which the number of
germs lias increased seven limes
in seven weeks.
This is still not as fast as the
germ multiplies inside the body,
so attempts are being made to
step up the rate.
If these attempts are successful,
said Chang, it may be possible
to produce a vaccine asjainsl rat
leprosy just as the polio vaccine
is produced from large cultures
of polio virus. Such a vaccine might
point the way to a similar pre
ventive for the human disease.

Are yew thinking of going on a diet? Then be assured of this your dieting
will be more successful and you'll fed better, if your weight reducing pro
gram is built around milk. This ia a proven fact.
The big danger in most reducing programs is this: As you cut down on your
calorie intake you also inadvertently eliminate the necessary proteins, vita
mins and calcium you must have to maintain health, vitality and sense of
well being. Drinking three glasses of milk every day prevents this.
Milk is nature's most nearly complete food. It furnishes you with protein.
Vitamin A, riboflavin and calcium all essential food elements you need
especially when dieting. This is why milk helps maintain your strength and
vitality . . . why you don't feel draggy and knocked out when on a milk diet.
Diet, yes! Many Americans need to , . . but diet safely, comfortably and
surely. Drink at least three glasses of milk every day. You'll feel better.
Eve Wttef and reduce better when you do.
