PA'QE FOUR BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. 1CEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY. JULY 19, 1934. T E Four New York Physicians Submit to Trial of New In fant Paralysis Vaccine Refuse to Discuss Case By HOWARD W. BLAKBSLEE (Associated Press Science Editor-) FEW YORK. Four New York physicians, sumlttlng to the scratch of Infantile paralysis vaccine needles, have joined a dramatic but unnum bered company of doctors who have volunteered their own bodies for ex periment the "silent partners" cf medical discovery. The New Yorxers ere trying one of the first paraylsls vaccines to be uM on human beings. Heretofore such vaocinatlon has been too dangerous and doubtful for anything except ani mals. They say they are taking no risks, and It's nothing to talk about. That phrase "nothing to talk about" pictures the whole company, past and present, and the sort of courage they possess, a bravery that does without boasting. Although medical men say there have been thousands of such self-experiments, medical literature runs true to form it doesn't record them any better than the physicians themselves. Victim of Inquisition. Search of the great library of the New York Academy of Medicine fail ed to produce even one comprehen sive printed list of such heroes. Field ing H. Gardner's history of medicine listed 20 names as medical martyrs, beginning with Servetus, who died In 1593, not from his experiments, but for his opinions. He discovered the tlcod relationship between heart and lungs. But It was the Inquisition wh'ch got him for heresy. In Gardner' list Is the most fam ous recent example Jesse W. Lsuer, -who gave his life fighting yellow fever. Ho was on the staff of Walter Heed In Cuba, at Las Animas hos pital, whe.-e a small group felt certain the mosquito carried the Infection. Lasaer saw a mosquito In a yellow fever ward llht on his hand. He dl4 not brush it o.'f. but let It bite. Five days later he curie down with a fatal case of yellow lever. Illi Test Disproved. Fettenkofer, a Oerman physician, took millions of cholera bacilli to prove that they do not cause the dis ease. He did not catch It. But later his theory and his gave test were disproved, and he became so despond ent at the age of 83 that he com mitted suicide. John Hunter, the English physician, is one of the notable atorlts. There was a dispute about two venerea dis eases. It was thought the sime or ganism caused both. To prove differ ently, Hunter inoculated himself with what he thought was one orgsUsm, the milder of the two. Through a mistake he got both and with thtm both dlsesaes. But the existence c separate causes for each disease wu j established. I s inrtnnn I! I IE ANNOUNCED Oi particular Interest to automo bile owners of the west Is the Wes tern Auto Supply company's recent announcement of a new Improved Western Olant super whipcord tire at sharply reduced prices, as well aa the new all-road hazard guarantee certificate which accompanies every Western Auto tire, according to C. J. Prltrhett, local manager of the firm. "Three years ago Western Auto saw in the trend of automotive trans portation the need for a tire that will withstand greater speed, more revolutions to the mile In smaller diameter wheels, and quicker a top ping,' the manager asserted. "After months of experiments and tent, we Introduced the Western Giant Super Whipcord to tire buyers of the west, and It has since proved Its merit on highways, speedways, boulevards and mountain roada. This tire was three years ahead of the Industry. "And now Western Auto strides to even greater progress In the new 1034 super whipcord tire. Our tire engi neers were Instructed to keep ahead of the parade. And they developed a new rubber for the tread and itde wall, a wider and deeper tread was designed snd new csrcass Improve ments were made, producing an en tirely new tire. "The new super whipcord tread rubber, known aa 'Perms-Life, gives a tougher, wear resisting tread, yet It Is so flexible that It eaMly absorbs road shocka which would otherwise be felt In the oar." Prltrhett stated. "A new cotton wa used 'Coker's' pedigreed plantation cotton Ameri can grown and of long staple. This cotton Is 'safe twisted' Into finer ecfds and pressure Impregnated with pure gum latex to make a sturdy car cass, giving greater blowout protec tion and all around strength. "The new super whipcord Is guar anteed against all road ha tarda for two years In passenger service," Prltrhett added. "This not only covers the ordinary wear snd tear of driving, but also tire Injuries reused by blowouts, rim outs, ston bruises, under Inflation, vheels out of alignment or faulty biakes. "A similar guarantee certificate Is Issued with Western Olant Center Traction tires for a period of IB months' passenger servlre, htl Wear Wells are guaranteed for 13 months." "Wltn such a tire aa the new Super Whlpcotd at present prices and aurh on all Inclusive guarantee, the West ern Auto manager regarda this tire M America's greatest tire value, frVata on the New Yor Curb Ex change had w recent selling price of about 110,000, Human Laboratory lcur , 'fx, Xs"' i Y 1 ' V- y pH Lj NEPOTISM PERILS i Meteorological Repor.

(AP) All novels and other literature by Upton Sin clair, widely known American author, were ordered confiscated and banned today. Sinclair's books have been among the best sellers In Germany. The present ban was described of ficially as "legal" action, since Sin clair's books have been "morally" for bidden In Prussia by the decree of February, 1933, against subversive literature. Sinclair's volumes were among those burned In the bonfire of Premier Hermann Wllhelm Qoerlng of Prussia May 0, 1D33. Sinclair for years was a leading publicist of 'the socialist party in America.

(AP) Charges of nepotism within the ranks of the state game commission, and claims that a plan was on foot to place Marlon Corrlgan, son of Chslrman Matt Corrlgan In the position of bird hatchery supervisor, now held by Oene Simpson, were brought forth by a group of 70 sportsmen meeting here last night. After lauding Simpson as "one of the most efficient pheasant men in the United Btates," the group author ized the appointment of a committee to investigate Simpson's work and make a public report of the game bird situation. The sportsmen described the present commission as "no friend of game" in not co-operet'ng with Simpson. The charges of nepotism arose from the fact that Marlon Corrlgan was employed at the bird hatcheries In Eugene, In violation of a policy ruling by the commission of April 10, 1033, In which It held that nepotic prac tices were "not sound public policy" and often resulted In "operating In efficiency." Similar charges, contained In a tele gram from the Pendleton Hunters' and Anglers' club were read. ILL; LEAVES JUNGLES CAIRO, Egypt. July 19.

Monthly sal aries allowed by law range from $418.66 to (500.
