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 '

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UP) The
Salk anti-polio " vaccine Tuesday
was pronounced safe and effect

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.

Production of Salk
Vaccine to Meet
Need in 2 Years
NEW YORK (UP) The pharm
aceutical industry can produce
enough Salk polio vaccine to im
munize all of the 61 million Amer
icans under the age of 21 by the
end of this year, Harry J. 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.

Ike to Submit
Program for
Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON (A - President
Eisenhower announced Monday he
will submit to Congress next week
a foreign aid program "including
economic aid to the free nations
of South and East Asia."
' The President issued a statement
stressing this country's intention
to help free Asia. His statement
coincides with the gathering of del
egates to the. forthcoming Afro
Asian conference at Bandung.
"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

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

administration, with some urging

'Tebbetts didn't know I had only
62 days to go to be eligible for a

office did and I call it a raw deal.
I think I earned the right to a
fair trial with Cincinnati, but I

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

went to Boston on waivers that Oc
