(United Press Staff Correspondent)
PHILADELPHIA (UP) A 33-year-old
University of Pennsylvania bac
teriologist Dr. Horace Pettlt who
led a research expedition Into an
Influenza-infected area of Alaska
predicts that "the time may be
coming" when such epidemics will
be brought under control.
The immediate aim of testa now
being made, according to Dr. Pettlt.
is to determine whether all Influ
enza outbreaks are caused by the
same filterable virus now known
to science, but which have never
been seen even under the micros
cope, and whether protection by vac
cine or serum against tha virus may
aflord a future means of control oi
such epidemics.
Virus strains taken from stricken
persons in influenza epidemics in
Philadelphia, Puerto Rico and Lon
don are identical, research examina
tions have revealed.
More Proof Needed.
"If the same virus caused the
Alaskan outbreak, this will give en
couragement to the effort to develop
a vaccine or aerum to check the
progress of any future epidemic ol
this disease,' Dr. Pettlt said. He re
called the world-wide epidemic ol
1918-19 which caused 21.000.OOu
deaths.
Dr. Pettlt and hla associate. Dr.
D. Sergeant Pepper, had a three
fold purpose In making their 11,000
mile dash to and from Alaska.
"Our first objective waa to bring
back some serum from convalescent
patients, which we did." aald Dr.
Pettlt. "Our second thought was to I
collect virus In acute cases. This we
failed to do, as the epidemic haa
burned out when we arrived at
Kotzebue. Our third objective was
to test Immune horse serum as a
preventative and curative agent. We
left about half of our supply In case
of a new outbreak."
Seek to Develop Virus.
Dr. Pettlt pointed out that If it
la determined that epidemics all
over the world ere caused by the
same virus it will be necessary to
determine whether this virus or the
serum of persons or animals vacci
nated with the virus can be used to
protect other persons from the dis
ease. The preservation of protective ma
terial will be made, "much . easier?'
by the aid of an apparatus which
wae shown at the scientific exhibit
of the American Medical association
In Atlantic City by Dr. Carl W. if.
Plosdorf and Stuart Mudd of the
University of Pennsylvania.
Mice and Ferrets Used.
Dr. Pettlt said mice and ferrets
are being used In the experiment
He said the aerum collected in
Alaska has been mixed with vlrua oi
other influenza epidemic. Then the
animals are exposed.
If the mice or ferrets live, the
scientist pointed out. science then
will knew that the serum of conva
lescents from the Alaskan epidemic
protects against the virus known to
have caused Influenza in other places
and that the Alaskan virus is prob
ably the same aa others.
Dr. Pettlt said that experiments
with the Alaskan serums are being
made in laboratories at Johns Hop
kins University. Rockefeller Insti
tute at New York and Princeton, and
In the British Medical Research
Council, London.
The results may not be'known for
months.
WASHINGTON. (UP) Voluntary
educational and forest Improvement
activities of the Civilian Conservation
Corps have been described by Charles
Lathrop Pack, president of the Amer
ican Tree association, as "the great
est citizenship making program the
world ever haa seen."
Pack aild doubling of the CCC
meant that thousands of additional
young Americans would participate in
the program.
"The remarkable feature of the clt
Irenshlp making coupled with forest
Improvement." he aald, "is the fact
that more than half of the enrollees
are voluntarily attending classes of
one kind or another.
"What they are learning In the ;
woods, and there Is no finer place j
to learn. Is beinc added to bv 'book
.'train 7 as we used to say. in the
night schools it the camps. The big
point i that this educational activ
ity is all voluntary on the part of the
boys "
Pack said a survey showed that 43
per cent of the subjects studied were
vocational. Of the balance. IS per
cent were of elementary level. 32 per
cent of hlh school level. 5 per cent
of college level, and 3 per cent general.
