TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, March 23, I95S 's Guaranteed Annual Wage Demand Could Affect trillions of Americans UAW Salk's Experiments Prove Conclusively That Vaccine Works By DELOS SMITH United Press Scienc Editor New York (U.R) Dr. Jon as E. Salk's closely detailed scientific experiments proved, more or less conclusively, that his anti-polio vaccine works. Last spring s mass testing with 1,800.000 children merely put the icing on the cake, so to speak. To work, the vaccine had to stimulate the bodies of vaccin ated persons into manufactur ing anti-bodies that would re sist all three types of viruses which cause paralytic polio. It had to produce enough of these anti-bodies to ward off any viruses which managed to get into the body. And these an tibodies had to remain in suf ficient numbers for a reasonable period of time, since there would be no point in making a child immune to polio if the immunity was going to be a mat ter of only hours or days. Original Goal Dr. Salk's original goal was to develop a vaccine which would produce as many or more lasting antibodies as a case of paralytic polio will produce. Anyone who has ever had polio is thereafter forever immune to the particular type of virus which caused his case. That is ' natural" immunity and it is the best kind to have but is most impractical because to get it, you have to risk dying or crippling by polio. In March of 1953 Salk start led the scientific world by re vealing in the journal of the American Medical association that he had developed a vaccine which had produced in 90 chil dren and adults levels of anti bodies that were higher than the levels in the blood of persons who had had polio. In October of that year he announced to a medical meeting that his vaccine had done this in 475 more chil dren, and furthermore, the high levels of antibodies had main tained themselves for months. No Failures By March of last year, he was able to report to a medical meet ing on almost 5000 human ex periments. There were no fail ures of the vaccine to produce effectively high levels of anti bodies. But most important was the impressive evidence that the vaccine did what the disease causing virus itself did in the .human body, that is, set up a kind of stand - by factory for the production of antibodies at an emergency rate, which, when the virus again appeared in the blood stream, went into frenzied activity. This is called the "booster" or "recall" phenom enon. By now it seemed clear that the vaccine might well produce immunity for life, as the virus itself will provided it doesn't kill the victim. But there seemed , not the slightest doubt that it would last at least for a few ! months, which would be quite enough to wipe out the disease. A "polio season" when the vir uses are most prevalent, lasts only a few months; children could be vaccinated once a year or even twice a year if that was needed to make them immune.

Donrt be fat T, Zvlw m 80 CAPSULES 23.8 tt&Jsw&tt By REY W. BRUNE United Press Correspondent Detroit 'U.R) The guaran teed annual wage plan which the CIO United Auto Workers is demanding from the automobile industry could affect the lives of nearly every American in one way or another. The effect might come through huge disruptive strikes, strikes idling hundreds of thousands in the automobile industry and sup plier firms. It might come through revolu tionary changes in employee-employer relationships if the un ion wins its case. In that event, the plan almost certainly would spread to other fields. It could spread through the nation's en tire industrial setup. Could Wreck Economy Those changes, some say, could wreck the national economy, bankrupt even the biggest firms. Others say the changes could help spur the national economy to its greatest heights. The plan certainly will be one of the most widely-discussed top ics in the nation in the next two and one-half months while the union bargains for it with Gen eral Motors and Ford, the firms which produce three of every four cars sold today. Guaranteed Wage Outlined Exactly what is the plan? It is a labor contract under which employers guarantee work on a year-around basis. The paychecks would keep flowing even if there isn't any work. Some forms have been tried many times. Some of the plans go back 60 years. More than 190 separate plans have been pro posed. But none like the UAW plan. It is more sweeping in scope, more definite in "guar antee" than anything ever tried. Nunn-Bush Shoe Co., for example guarantees 52 weekly pay checks but the size of the checks isn't guaranteed. Proctor and Gamble guarantees workers 48 weeks of work a year but the number of hours isn't guaran teed. Hormcl guarantees 52 weeks of pay of 38 hours a week. But the plan ignores seasonal ups and downs. Overtime work in on week isn't paid for at pre mium rates. The extra hours of pay are held up and the pay meted out to fill out short work weeks. What the UAW wants is much broader. It wants a guarantee of 52 weeks of work a year, with 40 hours pay in all 52 weeks. Overtime in any week would be dumped on top at premium pay. Sam Take-Home Pay For every two weeks a worker is at his job, he would pile up a guarantee of one week's pay against layoffs. Workers with two year's seniority would have a 52-week guarantee. This is the top guarantee. The exact amount a worker would get would depend on his pay scale. Part of the pay would come from unemployment com pensation. The company would make up the difference to give him the same "take-home" pay. Strikes in supplier firms which cause material shortages would not cut off guarantee pay ments. The union also contends man agement should plan on main taining pay checks for its work ers in case of "acts of God" such as fires, storm damage and the like. Registration Required A worker who was laid off would have to register with the state unemployment office and take a "suitable" job if one was available. If the replacement job paid him less, the employer who owed him a "guarantee' would have to make up the dif ference. ' ! That is the broad outline of how the plan the UAW proposes would work. The union has said it is open to "satisfactory" changes. i The automobile industry hasj kept its views on this specific plan to itself so far. Both sides have their argu ments ready. This is the plan the argument will be about. Tnt results of the argument could affect millions of us. ECONOMY SIZE 160 CAPSULES JS 50 ONE CAPSULES TODAY! Mail OrtUri FUUd Westerm Thrift 30 N.

Cm Mail Tribune Want Ads Scelba Faces Pro-Communists Rome (U.R) Premier Mario Scleba staked the life of his government today against a last minute attempt by pro-Communists to thwart his departure to morrow for the United States. The left wing Socialists of Pie tro Nenni introduced a resolu tion in the Chamber of Deputies asking the government for assur ances that Scelba would make no decision in Washington on joint Italian-American exploita tion of Italy's newly discovered oil fields. Scelba immediately labeled the move a "pretext" to embar rass him during his talks with U.S. leaders. He made rejection of the Socialist resolution a con fidence issue. A vote on the resolution was expected sometime tonight. Scelba is scheduled to leave for Canada and the United States tomorrow.
