29 Confirmed Cases
Of Polio Shown in
Vaccinated Children
Washington (U.R The U.S.
Public Health Service aaid latt
yesterday its latest official tabu
lation showed 29 confirmed
polio cases among more than
4,000.000 children inoculated
with Salk vaccine.
Of these, it said, 26 cases oo
curred among the estimated 500,
000 children who received the
now-embargoed vaccine from
the Cutter Laboratories, Berke
ley, Calif.
Three cases occurred among
the remaining 3,500,000 or more
children who received vaccine
from other manufacturers,
which is still being used.
UP Tabulation Shows 35
An independent tabulation by
the United Press showed a total
of 35 cases, of which 30 in
volved children who received
only Cutler vaccine, four in
volved children who received
vaccine from the Eli Lilly Co.,
Indianapolis, and one involved
a child who received a first shot
of Cutter vaccine and a second
hot of vaccine from another
manufacturer, not so far iden
tified. The official tabulation of the
Public Health Service has lagged
lightly behind the unofficial
count because of delays which

Proper Spacing
Of Vaccine Shots
Said Important
Atlantic City UR) Jr.
Jonas E. Salk told the 47th an
nual session of the American
Society for Clinical Investigation
yesterday that the proper spac
ing of his polio vaccine shots is
the most important factor in
the prevention of infantile paral
ysis. Speaking before 1200 clini
cians, physicians and scientists at
Steel Pier, Salk said his investi
gation showed the first two in
jections should be given two to
four weeks apart, with a third
injection seven to 10 months
later.
The importance of spacing be
tween injections, Salk said, is
that it allows the body to build
up its resistance to polio to what
he termed the "hyper-reactive
state."
Salk said it is too early to tell
yet how long immunity is pro
vided oy his vaccine.
He described the "hyper-reactive
state" is the condition of the
body where the introduction of
only a small amount of polio
infection will "trigger" the
body's mechanism to produce ef
fective quantities of anti-bodies
to fight off the infection.

Mysteries of 'Vapor Lock' in Autos

By DELOS 6MITH
United Press Science Editor
New York U.PJ Here are
scientific revelations of two
things every motorist ought to
know but will have a hard time
finding out about from automo
bile dealers and repairmen.
They are: 1. What a "vapor
lock" is; 2. What to do about it.
A "vapor lock" kills the en
gine and you can run down your
battery trying to start it up
again. And the blankety-blank
thing had been purring like a
cat right up to the instant it
went dead!
What happened was that the
gasoline in the fuel system
changed from a liquid into a
vapor before it was supposed to.
From gasoline tank all the way
to the side ' of the carburetor,
this fuel system can pass along
liquid gasoline only. Gasoline
vapor stymies it.
Do Nothing
What to do about it is noth
ing. As the stalled engine cools,
the heat in the fuel system goes
down. The vaporized gas con
denses back into liquid. And
then the engine will start up
again. Nature unlocks the
"lock."
If you want to hurry nature
along you can lift the engine
hood and let cooler air in. Or
you can wrap wet clothes around
the fuel pump, especially its
intake- side. That's where the
"vapor lock" usually forms. But
it could be on the intake side of
the carburetor, so wrap a wet
cloth around it, too.
"Vapor locks" have been ap
pearing in epidemics for some
time now. The places where they
strike usually are parkways,
leading into cities on hot and
Oregon Liquor
Prices Increased
Portland (U.R) Liqu r
prices have been boosted 25
cents a fifth and 15 cents a pint
by the liquor control commis
sion. All types of liquor were af
fected except wines and cordials
by the price hike which the
OLCC attributed to recommen
dations by legislative taxation
committees.
The senate committee on as
sessment and taxation recom
mended that prices be raised to
add $4,000,000 above the com
mission's forecast $82,000,000
revenue.
Salem (U.R) The -Joint
Ways and Means Committee has

close Sunday evenings when the
cars are jammed up for miles
and there is much starting and
stopping.
Dealers Look Blank
Try to find out from the auto
mobile dealer what, a vapor lock
is, and he looks blank. Pushed,
he may say that maybe it is
some odd thing that happens to
the cars of his competitors, but
certainly never happens to his
car. This reporter had local
dealers running like rabbits.
But he finally found inde
pendent scientists who said the
"vapor lock" was the inevitable
result of automotive progress.
The older cars are immune. The
newer, ones are susceptible be
cause they're so very efficient
in vaporizing , gasoline fully
without there being any liquid
residue to seep down into the
crankcase. The higher and high
er "high test" gasolines have a
part, too they vaporize almost
with a hot glance. .
A Remedy Seed Engine
Engineers of the Texas Com
pany offered a practical how-to-avoid
suggestion: If you're
caught in seemingly endless traf
fic jam in hot weather, never
turn off the engine. It may not
start again. Instead, speed the
engine up a bit from its normal
idling speed, without racing it.
That'll turn the fan over faster
and keep the fuel system cooler.
