experienced a little want were
much more thrifty than rats that
always had had plenty. But he

Gamma Globulin New
As Science Weapon
Against Polio Fight
(Editor's note: Following Is
the second in a series of arti
cles prepared by he National
Foundation for Infantile Paral
ysis concerning gamma globu
lin and the foundation's steps
toward control of polio.)
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

war to 801 from the previously
announced number of 800.

D. Frailer, San Antonio, Tex., a

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.

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.
"Mr. Haymes' insistence on a
Nevada divorce, unquestionably
to hasten his marriage to Rita
Hayworth, Is the big obstacle,"
Hahn said.
