Results of Mass Testing of Salk
Vaccine to Be Reported in April

By DKI.OS SMITH
United Press. Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK (UP) The people
and organizations principally in
volved with the Salk vaccine are
acting as though there was no
question whatever about its ability
to prevent children from catching
polio.
The National Foundation For In
fantile Paralysis hus distributed
enough vaccine to vaccinate 9-mil-lion
children this spring, at a cost
of 9-milllon dollars.
The five pharmaceutical com
panies which made the vaccine,
have and are making millions uxn
millions of additional doses. They
ore in a race for domestic and
world markets which are expected
to boom.
And Dr. Jonas E. Salk, the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh scientist who
developed the vaccine, is prepar
ing lo give up personal vaccine
research in order to enter a broad
er scientific field. He obviously iv

ja. Complex Report
All this should be kept in mind
wiille awaiting the report from the
scientific "evaluation center"
which was set up to measure the
results of lust spring s mass test
ing with 1,800,000 children.
This report is due in about three
weeks - it has been promised for
'sometime after April 1. The
'evaluation," in charge of Dr.
Thomas Francis Jr. of the Univer
sity of Michigan, has been ex
tremely thorough and extremely
scientific. The report will be long
and complex.
There has been no 'leak" of its
contents, and there won t be
to the National Foundation, to the
pharmaceutical companies, to Dr.
Salk, or to anyone else. Dr. Fran
cis has taken elaborate 'security'
measures.
Then why are all these people
and organizations acting the way
they are when they haven't even
an inkling of what the evaluation
report is going to say? The an
swer is simple there is little
if any doubt of the vaccine's abili
ty lo do what it is suppocd to do
that is, prevent human be
ings from coming down with para
lytic polio.
Two Big Answers
That it can stimulate the human
body into producing enough anti-
b(xlles to take care of any jnvrfdliig
polio viruses, was demonstrated
thousands of times before there
was even a thought of mass-testing.
No one who has been close to
the development of the vaccine en
tertains the slightest doubt that it
is effective. They are positive that
the Francis evaluation report
won't say the vaccine is no good.
The big questions which the report
is expected to answer are: How
effective is the vaccine? For how
long Is it effective?
It might be that lor reasons now
unknown the vaccine does not
stimulate some human bodies into
producing enough polio antibodies
to ward off invasions of the virus-
Dr. Salk's experiments, first
in animals, and then in more than
7,000 human beings, makes that
most unlikely possibility.
The big question, "how long?"
is the critical one. But if the vac
cine can make human beings im
mune to all three types of polio
viruses for only a few months, it
will sK'U the end of polio in all
such eountiics as the United States
where public health and other med
ical services are highly organized.
That is the minimum expectation
of the people who have lioen clos
est to the development of the vaccine.

Mississippi 'Money Hole Defies
Efforts to Find Buried Treasure
By II. U STKVKXSOX ......
I'nited Press Staff Correspondent
BEAUMONT, Miss. (UP)
chest laden with gold, legend
has it, lies somewhere beneath the
restless sands of Beaumont's sto-
ied "Money Hole."
Thus far, numerous costly sal
vage attempts have been futile.
The treasure chest, the story
iocs, was buried by a wounded
bandit before the turn of the
century. He shared his secret with
a Negro family near Beaumont
after the family nursed him back
to health.
One woman in the rural farming
region vows "there's a ton" of
gold in the chest somewhere in
the hole, now chewed into a
ragged, circular cavity in a diy
creekbed. The creek has long been
diverted by the fortune-hunters,
Another native recalls with a
sigli that he had his hands on the
chest only to see It sink back in
the quick sand.
The woman, Lennie Rhodes,
maintains that "someone with
money" for the proper type of sal
vage job can snare the chest that's
been sought both by amateurs and
salvage experts.
Miss Rhodes purchased the land
for a cousin. She stands watch on
the st when she agrees to let
treasure-seekers set up camp to
probe the shifting sands of the
bole tliat now measures 100 feet
across and about 80 feet deep.
She discounts the claim of Em-
mett Williams of San Pedro, Calif.,
an expert deep sea diver and sal
vage man, who spent three weeks
last August digging through more
than 50 feet of the tricky sands.,
Williams said his work and rent
al of equipment and pay for labor
ers cost his two backers $29,000.
"We picked that hole as clean
as a chicken bone and there's
nothing there," he said.
"I pumped 5.000 gallons of sand
and millions of gallons of water.
It's a complete waste unless a man
figures he needs experience pump
ing sand and water. .
Miss Rhodes replied that Wil
liams refused her advice to shore
up the constantly crumbling sand
banks.
"I'm just a woman," she said,
"and none of them will listen to
mo."
One Hattiesburg. Miss, man, she
added, spent $17,500 in an unsuc
cessful search.
Oscar Fillingame, a justice of
the peace, said he and his father
and a cousin spent $3,000 on the
search many years ago and saw
the chest, touched it, but failed to
haul it to high ground.
I had my hands on the chest,
but, it slipped back in the sand,"
Fillingame recalled.

studded crown and a golf club
for a scepter, Mara Corday is
all set for her role as Queen of
the $35,000 Tournament of
Champions golf play in Las
Vegas, Nev., April 28.
