Since gamma globulin was es tablished last year as a temporary preventive for paralytic polio, everyone is increasingly anxious to know: just what is this precious stuff? Gamma globulin Is the part of human blood that contains antibodies that fight off disease by attacking disease-producing bacteria or virus- Gamma globu lin has been used for many years to prevent measles and infectious hepatitis, a form of Jaundice. Only last year gamma globu lin emerged as a scientific weanon asamst polio, as a re sult of field trials conducted with the support of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis. Some 59,000 children in Utah, Texas and Iowa took part in scientific studies testing the effectiveness of this blood frac tion as a means of preventing paralysis from polio. The care fully controlled tests, in which half the children got gamma globulin shots and the other half a harmless gelatin substance, proved that gamma globulin did protect against the paralytic dis ease for about five weeks. Most adults have had one or more -of the common childhood illnesses, such as measles, mumps, scarlet fever and other infectious diseases, and their blood contains antibodies against these specific ailments. Because 80 per cent of the adult popula tion is known to have had polio In a mild nonparalytic form al some time in early youth, the blood of most people contains polio antibodies. Once created War-Downed MIGs Confirmed af 801 Seoul, Korea (U.R) A war plane evaluation board today raised the number of MIG-15s destroyed during the Korean war to 801 from the previously announced number of 800. xne evaluation board con firmed a claim by 2nd Lt Frank D. Frailer, San Antonio, Tex., a Fourth Wing interceptor pilot, he destroyed a MIG on July 19, eight days before the cease fire agreement was signed. by the body to resist disease, antibodies remain in the blood, sometimes giving life-long pro tection against reinfection. Obtained From Blood Gamma globulin is obtained from the blood of human beings. There is no synthetic for it To day, as during the war, blood is collected mainly by the Ameri can Red Cross through voluntary contributions. It is then sent to laboratories to be processed into plasma and split up into frac tions. Gamma globulin is only one of several fractions which make up blood plasma. Since it has been proved use ful in temporarily preventing the paralytic effects of polio, gamma globulin naturally will be in demand as potential epidemics loom. The Office of Defense Mobilization has as sumed the official responsibility for seeing that the limited sup ply is made available without charge through state health de partments. It will take wide spread public understanding to see that the supply is used where it can do the most good. Next: Progress la Folio re search. Haymes Squelched in Quick Divorce Try Hollywood U.R) Crooner Dick Haymes attempt to win a "quickie" divorce from his es tranged wife, presumably to clear his way to wed actress Rita Hayworth, was squelched today by his wife's attorney. Haymes. a citizen of Argen tina, faces deportation for ille gally reentering this country af ter visiting Hawaii. Attorney S. S. Harm, repre senting Mrs. Nora Eddington Flynn Haymes, said the singer's insistence that his wife get a Nevada or Alabama divorce has held up approval of their finan cial settlement.
