Polio Control Yaccine Arrived Too Late for 3-Year -Old Bobby Editor's Note: His name If Bobby and he Ii only three years old too young U know what all the talk about an anti polio vaccine means. It doesn't matter, anyway, because Bob by already has bea crippled by polio and nothing canhelp him, except rehabilitation. In the following dispatch, ! a United Press correspondent describes methods being used to teach Bobby and other Polio victims how j to walk again). By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP)-These are the c&ildren who will live to re mind, ps. what it means to prevent paralytic polio. They are in a bright,, deliberately cheerful room Tuesday trying to learn to walk. They are luckless ones still too young to realize it, who always will bt crippled. . Bobby, a solemn, handsome boy thro years old, already is being "rehabilitated." His legs and arms are partially paralyzed, but he has learned to swing his legs, the braces covered by blue jeans, as he hangs onto two side railings in something that resembles walking. Learning To Live , He is one of 375 polio victims who now are being rehabilitated by the Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 'here. I They have passed the one-year convalescent period. Now they are learning to live with what they have left. Bobby and his brother both got polio &t the same time a year ago. His brother recovered completely, but doctors know now that Bobby always will wrlk with braces and crutches. j You know perfectly' well you can't . wear sneakers," a slim, pretty mother said firmly to her son; who stood in his stocking feet for his examination. One leg radu ally has become shorter than the other since the boy had polio five years ago at the age of two. He must wear special shoes. A Wheel Chair Life Maria, 10, swung into the room on crutches. Her black Oxford toes pointed outwad as they swung for ward together. Her mother walked behind holding part of the brace, which should have fit around her pelvic area and kept her . feet turned straight. . , "I fell down," Maria said and grinned. "I'd rather have them break it once in a while," a doctor said, tousling Maria's hair. "That means they're active." t Vaccine Never 100 Effective ANN ARBOR. Mich. (UP) The report on results of the Salk vac cine noted Tuesday that medicine never has had a vaccine which is 100 per cent effective. This is attributed to the fact that there is a small, "freakish" group of persons who either are unable to manufacture anti-bodies in their bloodstream or whose body chem istry makes them poor anti-body producers. Smallpox vaccine is one of the most effective of any known. It gives immunity to "95 per cent or more." Yellow fever vaccine is even more effective. Chicken pox vaccine is 90 to 95 per cent effective. Nearly 70 per cent of accident al deaths in the United States come in the victims' nonworking hours. Only 1 Child Of 44O,000j Tested Died ' (Story also on page '! ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UP) The Salk anti-polio " vaccine Tuesday was pronounced safe and effect ive. ' ' 4 v The long awaited results, hailed Immediately by the American Medical Association as "one of : the greatest events is the history j of medicine, showed the vaccine was 80 to 90 per cent effective. "The vaccine works." Those were the first words an nouncing the results of a thorough ly scientific evaluation 'I of ' last spring' mass testing among more than 1,800,000 children. Among the 440,000 children who actually received the vaccine, only one died. This child succumbed after a tonsillectomy which was performed two days after he re ceived the second in the series of three anti-polio shots. -Results of. Tests The box score on the mass test was this: 1,829,916 children took part in the test 440,000 were vaccinated. Among these 1,829,916 children, 1013 came down with polio, both paralytic and non-paralytic Among the 440,000 vaccinated children, 71 children contracted paralytic polio. Among the remaining unvaccin ated children, 445 came down with paralytic polio. Dr. Thomas Francis Jr.; profes sor of immunology of the Univer sith of Michigan, who directed the study of the results made his mo mentous 113-page report at a spe cially invoked scientific meeting. MUlions of Children - Simultaneously, Dr. Jonas E. Salk, creator of the vaccine, re vealed at the meeting that 16 mil lion more children than had been anticipated will be able to receive the anti-polio vaccine before this year's polio season begins Salk said his latest experiments showed that at least seven months should pass between the second and third "shots" of the vaccine to produce maximum and most lasting effects. That means enough vaccine will be available to raise from 38 to 57 million the number of children who can be protected this summer. They would receive two shots which would protect them through this sumer and would receive the final shot next winter, when ample supplies of the vaccine should be available.

Loynd, president of Parke-Davis and Co., predicted Tuesday. Within two- years, he added, there will be enough of the vac cine in existence to immunize everyone in the world who needs it. long and complex report was the data showing that the vaccine is particularly effective, 80 to 90 per cent, against the paralytic or fatal type of polio. Strangely enough, it proved least effective against the .non paralytic type of polio, the least to be feared among, the thre types of polio viruses.

"In accord with our political and spiritual 'heritage,, the United States is ready to intensify its co operation with the free nations of 'South and East Asia in their ef fortslo achieve economic" develop ment and a rising standard of liv ing." Eisenhower said. The White House said it has not been determined on what day the message will go to Congress. There have been advance indi cations Eisenhower will ask a pro gram somewhere in the neighbor hood of 3"4 billion dollars, with about two-thirds of it earmarked for Asia.

Louisville is a Boston farm. "Right up to the time Cincinnati tied the can to me (Manager Birdie) Tebbetts kept telling me how good I was doing," said Werle. in town with Portland for a series against San Francisco. 'Tebbetts didn't know I had only 62 days to go to be eligible for a pension, but the Cincinnati front office did and I call it a raw deal. I think I earned the right to a fair trial with Cincinnati, but I sure didn't get it.". ., Under the rules, a player who spends Ave season to the day with a major league club qualifies for a pension. Werle said it amounted to only $30 .a month now, but that he thought by the time he retired it would be considerably more. Werle spent the 1940-50-51 sea sons with Pittsburgh. He was trad ed to St. Louis in May 1932 and went to Boston on waivers that Oc tober. The Red Sox farmed him to Louisville after he had appeared in five games of the 1953 season.
