1 Salk Anti-Polio Vaccine Seen Powerful Weapon for by delos smith United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) The best expectation of a public health "general," newly armed with a powerful weapon against disease, Is to do in the enemy not this year nor next year but only "in time." The enemy is polio, the weap on is the Salk anti-polio vaccine, and the general is Dr. Morris Greenberg, director of the Bu reau of Preventable Diseases of the New York City Department of Health. Continuous War He is field commander in one of the world's largest theaters of man's continuous war upon dis eases. His responsibility is to prevent all the disease that's pre ventable among 8,115,000 human beings living in close proximity to one another and to one an other's viruses. There's the rub those three types of viruses which cause polio. From the standpoint of the collective health of masses of people, it is not enough to dis ram viruses into hiirmlessness with a vaccine. Somehow you've got to reduce the "pool" of cir culating viruses to just about the vanishing point before you can be sure of victory. Immediate Objective Dr. Greenberg's immediate ob jective is to get at least 70 per cent of the 2,215,000 most sus ceptible New Yorkers, those under 20, vaccinated as quickly as possible, by mid-summer if he can. He figured that will dramat ically reduce this year's polio DOES MORE Rntair THlrr Gvrrin Tractor Hew Low Price $17950 Tim lntr C haul EC with wh-el.

There will be not let-up in the vaccinating, of course. The 70 per cent will be made to mount toward 100 per cent, and the least susceptible ages will be brought into the program. Well over half the city's population will have polio - immunization within few years. That's preventing the disease without necessarily reducing the "pool" of circulating viruses. Eliminating this "pool" is some thing you can do only "in time," Dr. Greenberg said. How long this "time" will be, depends upon what the Salk vaccine does to the "environment" inside the human body. There it produces antibodies against polio viruses, but in the bloodstream. Polio viruses get into the gastro-intestinal tract before they enter the blood stream. To have antibodies that keep them out of the blood will prevent them from causing par alytic polio buj anti-bodies won't prevent viruses from entering human bodies, multiplying there in, and being excreted back into the big outside world. Unwitting Incubator Thus, any given person can be immune to paralytic polio and at the same time be the unwitting incubator in which polio viruses multiply. But the chances are, Dr. Greenberg said, mass vaccin ations over a long period will so change the internal environ ment that this will no longer be so for most people. The few for whom it remains so, will be polio Polly and they will be identified and supervised as "typhoid Marys" are now. These latter are persons who are immune to typhoid fever them selves but are "carriers" of the infecting agent. Dr. Greenberg pointed out that in New York their numbers have dropped from 600 to less than 400 in 20 years. The old "carriers" are dying out; DOUBLECHECK Omaha, Neb. -U.R) Police Chief Harry Green ordered his squad captains to get more in quisitive about names and ad dresses of criminal suspects after an embarrassing check on gambling violators. Several of the suspects gave phony ad dresses. One address checked was a comfort station in a city park.
