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

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,

SINCLAIR'S NOVELS
BANNED BY NAZIS
BERLIN, July 10. (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. But last fall In announc
ing he would be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor
of California he said the collapftj of
socialism before Nazis In Germany
showed the "futility" of building up a
socialist party In the United States
along strict party lines.

EFFICIENCY. CLAIM
SALEM, July 19. (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.

13 OF CIRCUIT JUDGES
SALEM. July 19. (jp) At tre pres
ent time 13 out of the 28 circuit
Judges In the state have restored or
retained the full salaries to which
they were entitled by law, & survey
by the Oregon Statesman reveals.
At one time all but two of the
Judges hod taken a voluntary reduc
tion In psy. as suggested by the 1933
legislature, varying In amount from
950 to (100 a month.. Monthly sal
aries allowed by law range from
$418.66 to (500.
Any reduction or restoration of sal
ary by a circuit Judge In Oregon is
purely voluntary, as the constitution
prohibits the legislature or executive
department of the state from reduc
ing the salary of any Judge while
he Is In office, thus allowing him at
any time to increase his salary to Its
normal rate.
At the beginning of the voluntary
salary reduction program a number
of Judges drew their full salary but
refunded 50 per cent to the state.
The treasurer's office revealed that no
such refund had been made for sev
eral months.
The 15 Judges still taking the self
imposed cut in salary were George R.
Bagley, James T. Brand, James W.
Crawford, B. L. Eddy, W. A. Bkwall,
Arthur D. Hay, Carl Hendricks. Louis
P. Hewitt. Jacob Kanzler, J. W.

CRATER LAKE KATIONAL PARK,
Ore. (Special.) Pish planting for
the 1634 season has been placed un
derway In Crater Lake. Over 50,000
flngerllng rainbow trout are being
planted In the lake, substantially
adding to the Improvement of angling
In years to come.
Numerous limit catches have been
made this season, with some trout
weighing from five to ten pound
and all of them full of fight. Fish
plantings have been carried on sys
tematically In Crater Lake for several
years through the cooperation of the
Oregon state game commission. As
a result of these plantings, the lake
has developed an enviable reputation
for trout angling, attracting fisher
men from distant points, not only
enjoying gamey catches but the ex
perience of fishing In an extinct vol
