By FRANCES LEWTNE
NEW YORK UR What is the
next great need in medicine's fight
en polio?
Dr. Bela Schick, who discovered
the skin test for. diphtheria sus
ceptibility years ago, believes
it is a similar test for polio. It
would tell whether an individual
is immune to the disease, and thus
would help solve the immediate
shortage of Salk vaccine.
"It would be nice,but you can
not order such things," Dr.
Schick said in an interview. He
added that researchers already are
hard at work on such a test But
he fears that the nature of the
polio virus will make the search
more difficult than it was in the
case of diphtheria.
"I was lucky," he smiles.
Now 78, a jolly, smiling man,
stooped, bushy-brewed and grey
. haired, he is still a practicing pe
.diatrician. Dr. Schick's 1913 dis
covery is rated a major milestone
In .the research whiclv has almost
wiped out diphtheria m a child
killer. ,
7to Fatal Yearly
In New York in the 1920's, there
were as many as 11.000 diphtheria
cases a year, 700 of them fatal.
Last year there were 20 cases, two
fatal
But there . Is one great contrast
between the Salk and Schick con
tributions to medical history
Where the polio vaccine was ac
cepted instantly, it was IS years
before the diphtheria test received
Widespread recognition and use.
Both Dr. Schick and Dr. Jonas
Salk used the building blocks of
other scientists, then neatly
dropped in the keystone. Parents
all over the world were eagerly
waiting for the reports of the Salk
vaccine test But:
"There was little interest in Im
munization in Austria," Dr. Schick
recalls. It remained for the United
States, his adopted home, to take
up the challenge and lick diph
theria. Even so. the physician had
to personally join a campaign to
educate the public.
"Many people were against it."
he said. "Many people were
afraid."
Slogaa Used
It took the press, radio, movie
appeals. 85 million pamphlets and
even buttons reading "I am
Schicked are you?" to get the
drive across.
Dr. Schick bad gained fame in
the field of pediatrics and for his
pioneer work in allergy before bis
diphtheria test became a house
hold word.
The modest five-foot, five-inch
tall doctor got a total of eight
medals. But the first, was awarded
on the 25th anniversary of his dis
covery. Dr. Schick, who held Louis Pas
teur as his idol, was an assistant
in a clinic in Vienna wnen ne de
vised the test
He had to teach on the side to
help support himself.
The diphtheria bacillus had been
discovered by bacteriologist. Edwin
Klebs in 1883". A year later, Fred
erick Loeffler had isolated it and
demonstrated its growth in cul
ture. In 1890, Emil von Behring
discovered an antitoxin to combat
the disease. Later, Von Behring
worked out . an immunization with
a mixture of toxin and antitoxin.
But this mixture was difficult to
evaluate at first and Von Behring
refused to permit its general use
unless it could be administered un
der clinic control
At that time. Schick recalls, it
was not practical to think of wide
spread immunization with the Von
Behring toxin-antitoxin.
Minnie Quantity
Dr. Schick discovered that by
the injection of a minute quantity
of diphtheria toxin into the skin,
it could be determned whether an
individual is susceptble to diph
theria. No reaction at the place
of. infection means immunity
against the disease.
His test was noted in medical
circles.
"For five years it was perfectly
quiet few people paid attention."
Dr. Schick smilingly recalled in
his Eastside New York office.
Nothing was done on a large
scale until the 1920s.
By that time, Dr. Schick had
come here to head the Department
of Pediatrics at Mount Sinai Hos
pital in New York City.
In 1924, a year after Dr. Schick's
arrival here. Dr. G. Ramon of the
Pasteur Institute in Paris, discov-

Light Planes
PHOENIX. Ariz. IP - A freak
ish 70-mile-an-hour thunderstorm
whipped across Phoenix Sky Har
bor Airport Sunday, crumpling 30
light planes like dry leaves and
causing about $150,000 damage.
At the same time, the airport
control tower reported a wind of
32 miles an hour only half a mile
away.
The storm was part of a state
wide downpour that sent rain down
on Arizona's parched farmlands.
No injuries were reported at the
airport, where gasoline, spilled
from the wrecked craft and spread
across the rain-soaked airstrip.
The storm struck without warn
ing The planes were on the ground
in front of the hangars. A heavy
rain and hail cut visibility to zero.
"I heard a tremendous roar,"
said Jim Wood of the Sun Valley
Air Service. "Then the wind caved
in the wall of my office at least
a foot
About II of the 30 planes were
believed a total loss. One flying
service lost all but one of its 11
planes.

( Dr. Schick, married but with no
children of his own, was respon
sible for helping to save the lives
oi countless children.' I
In 1933, 20 years after his dis
covery, he received a book signed
by one million New York City
school children in appreciation of
his work. '
Five years later, he got his first
medat of recognition the gold
medal of the New York Academy
of Medicine and the i accolade of
its president Dr. Alexander Mil
ler, that "your place is among the
great benefactors of mankind.
Since his retirement from the
Mount Sinai post in 1942. Dr.
Schick has been director of pedi
atrics in Beth-El Hospital in Brooklyn.
The Bela Schick Department of
Pediatrics at Einstein College of
Medicine of Yeshiva University
here was named in his honor.
Like the great physicist for
whom the college of medicine was
named. Dr. Schick has always
shunned personal publicity.
It is much easier to live in the

Peron Mob
Routs Church
Step Gathering
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina to-
A mob of several hundred govern
ment supporters Sunday night rout
ed Vita gunshot and stones ranks
of Catholic churchmen standing
guard on the steps of massive Met
ropolitan cathedral in downtown
Buenos Aires.
The mob, shouting "Long live
Peron, down with the Pope,"
roughed up a few of the faithful in
the street burned a car in- front of
the adjoining Episcopal palace,
and smashed windows in the pal
ace with a hau of stones.
Seven Persons Bart
At least seven persons were hurt.
Some of the church's supporters
apparently were hit by the bar
rage of stones, but no one was
seen to be hurt by the several
shots fired.
About an hour after the incident
city firemen sped to the scene and
dispersed the government demon
strators with streams of water.
The outbreak heaped fuel on the
seven-months church state contro
versy in which President Juan Pe
ron has accused some high church
men of trying to undermine his
regime politically, a charge church
officials have denied.
Saturday night the dispute
reached a new peak of bitterness
when church followers held a Cor
pus Christi parade in Buenos Aires
streets despite a government ban.
Supporters Gather -
Government supporters began
gathering Sunday before the cathe
dral, shouting hostile slogans.
The situation grew tense when
about an equal number of church
men lined up in ranks four or five
deep on the church steps, con
fronting the jeering Peronistas,
A priest was inside at the time
performing a special mass for sup
port of the International Euchar-
istic Congress which opens in Rio
de Janeiro next month.
The church supporters stood firm
for an hour on the cathedral steps,
ducking stones and fruit hurled by
the Peronistas.
Barrage ef Stones
Then a small band of Peronistas
rushed up with a heavy barrage of
stones which slammed against the
walls and pillars of the cathedral.
The churchmen retreated from
the steps and down the street, pur
sued by Peronistas.
The attackers, carrying a large
Argentine flag, rushed up the steps
to the big front doors, which were
quickly closed, leaving some of
the worshipers who had attended
Mass still inside.
Balked, the mob turned on the
archbishop's palace, smashing its
windows.
