Russian Newsmen Greet Pastor
Warmly After Church Service
By A. BOBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Seven visiting
Russian newspapermen who
were bawled out by senators on
Capitol Hill were visibly moved
by the opposite treatment they
received last Sunday from mem
bers of a small Washington
church where they attended services.
The Soviet reporters and edi
tors heard a sermon on "Forgive
ness" by the Rev. Gordon Cosby,
and later greeted the minister
with a warmth that indicated
their response.
.When one of the members of
the Church of the Savior later
asker3.e English-speaking mem
beeof the visiting delegation
whether he would please take
back to Russia the expressed
love of the American people, the
Russian promised to do so as
tears edged from the corners of
his eyes and tumbled down his
cheeks.
Topic Selected
The minister was not notified
until the previous day that the
newsmen would be in his con
gregation, and his sermon topic
had been selected earlier in the
week. He and members of his
church are firmly convinced that
the Lord had the situation well
in hand to have brought the So
viet visitors to their church on
the occasion of a sermon on For
giveness. Moreover, they were attend
ing worship services in a con
gregation that is racially inte
grated. They learned that in the
Church of the Savior, Negroes,
Caucasians and Orientals pray
to God side by side.
The Church of the Saviour is
not affiliated with any of the
Protestant denominations. It is
an ecumenical church, affiliated
with the. National Council of
Churches and the World Coun
cil of Churches.
The Russians earlier in their
United Siates tour had seen the
movie "A Man Called Peter" and
were so impressed by it that
they asked their hosts to see
Mrs. Catherine Marshall,' widow
of the famous Presbyterian min
ister, Peter Marshal, whose life
the picture depicted.
This in turn led them to the
Church of the Saviour, where
Mrs. Marshall frequently attends
services. Among the many pub
lished works of Mrs. Marshall is
an article which appeared in the
Reader's Digest describing this
church and the deep commitment
of its members to Jesus Christ
What Newsmen Found
What the Russians found was
a church whose members, like
Peter Marshall, have rooted their
lives in a faith that God has
called them to do His will in the
world; that to ascertain His will
they must spend daily periods in
prayer; that to give 10 per cent
of their gross income to the
church is just the basic minimum
in giving the Lord a practical
priority in all the affairs of life
Membership in the church goes
only to those willing to make
these commitments, after they
have completed a year and a half
of study in the church's school
of Christian living, which fea
tures courses in doctrine, de
velopment of a prayer life, Bible,
Woman, Arrested
For Burning Children
Salem (U.R) A Salem woman
was arrested Friday on charges
of burning the hands of two of
her three children to punish
them for playing with matches
Mrs. Dorothy Bouge, 30, was
indicted secretly by a Marion
county grand jury. Bail was set
at $1,000.
Mrs. Bouge was charged with
holding lighted matches to the
hands of a four-year-old daugh
ter and a two-year-old son when
she found them with matches
two weeks ago. The children
were severely burned.
District Attorney Kenneth
Brown said the two children
concerned, and Mrs. Bouge's
nine - month - old baby, were
placed in a foster home.

Its 70 members and 100 to
150 who attend services or are
working toward membership
have an annual church budget
of S62.500. Nearly a third of
this goes into missions abroad or
local projects of the church.
Whatever lasting impressions
the Russian newsmen took back
to their homeland, this is the
Christian congregation which
made them welcome and perhaps
conveyed to them the spirit of
God who loves all men and com

Buzzard Attacks Man
Defending Chickens
Parracombe, England (U.R)
A buzzard with a three-foot
wing span Saturday attacked a
man who frustrated its attempt
to breakfast on one of his chick-
A. J. Hutchings, warden of
the Parracombe Youth hotel,
said he heard a commotion in
his chicken yard and ran out to
see the buzzard taking off with
the chicken clutched in its tal
ons. "I jumped at the buzzard,"
Hutchings said. "He dropped the
fowl and went for me. He seem
ed intent on my eyes and face."
Hutchings killed the bird af
ter several minutes of fighting.
He suffered minor injuries. The
chicken was unharmed.
The Polio Vaccine:
Questions, Answers
Following is the fourth in a
series of five articles dealing
with questions and answers re
garding the Salk anti-polio vac
cine. The articles were prepared
by the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis and distrib
uted through the Jackson county
chapter.
Q. How much polio has there
been this year?
A. Through Aug. 27 there were
14,140 cases, as compared with
17,104 for the same period in
1954. This includes both par
alytic and non-paralytic cases.
Through Aug. 18, there were
415 cases reported by the U. S.
Public Health Service out of
6,500,000 who had received vac
cine, of which 181 were para
lytic, 234 non-paralytic. Note:
Many of the 6,500,000 had re
ceived but one shot of vaccine
up to that time. The total cases
included 69 cases up to May 21
among children who received
Cutter vaccine.
Q. What happened in the Cut
ter situation?
A. Live virus was found in the
vaccine, according to a study
made by the U.S. Public Health
Service. Sharply strengthened
testing and manufacturing stand
ards now are preventing a repi-
iition of the Cutter incident.
Q. Did any other vaccinated
children get polio?
A. Yes, but in very small num
bers and under circumstances
that do not indicate any lack
of safety. It must be remembered
that many of those children re
ceived their first shots at a time
when polio incidence already
had started to rise in their
communities so a certain number
of children were incubating the
disease before vaccination. Also,
a polio vaccine, like all others.
is less than 100 per cent effec
tive; there are some who cannot
be protected by it.
Q. Is the vaccine being used
outside the United States?
A. Yes in Canada and Den
mark. Vaccine has been made
by these countries according to
Dr. Salk's formula. A number
of other countries plan to manu
facture it.
Q. How was the date for the
announcement of the vaccine
evaluation chosen?
A. In anticipation of the re
port, four possible dates were
tentatively selected the last two
Tuesdays in March and the first
two in April. Tuesday was deem
ed the best day of the week
from the point of view of prac
tical arrangements. April 12,
1955, was the first date on which
Dr. Francis could assure com
pletion of his report. In none of
the announcements put out by
the National Foundation was at
tention called to the fact that
the day was the 10th anniver
sary of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt's death.
Q. When did the Foundation
learn the results of the evalua
tion? A. National Foundation offi
cials were told the gist of the
evaluation study at 8:30 a.m. on
April 12, 1955, just before the
detailed report was presented to
a scientific meeting at the Uni
versity of Michigan in Ann Ar
bor. In conformance with scien
tific practices. Dr. Francis de
clined to make his report public
until it had been presented to
his professional colleagues.
Q. Why was there so much
publicity about the Francis Re
port? A. The public had been wait
ing for it for more than nine
months. Millions of people had
been raising money and working
for a preventive against polio
for more than 17 years. The
field trials involved the partici
pation of 1,830,000 youngsters
and 314,000 lay and professional
volunteers. There was naturally
a tremendous desire to find out
whether the vaccine worked
and, if so, how well. The answers
were bound to be front page
news.
Q. How has the National
Foundation kept the medical
profession informed of vaccine
developments?
A. Even before Dr. Salk's first
paper appeared in 1953 .regard
ing preliminary research toward
a vaccine, a group of medical
leaders gathered to discuss the
future., course., of., his., work.
Among those' who attended the
meeting were representatives of
the American Medical Associa
tion, the U. S. Public Health
Service, the Association of State
and Territorial Officers and oth
ers. There have been 21 meet
ings of this and other medical
groups on the vaccine situation
since that lime. Between early
1993, and May. 1955, 11 scien
tific papers by Dr. Salk were
published by leading medical
journals circulated among prac
ticing physicians. In 1953, 1954
and )V955, eight communications
w e r mailed by the National
Foundation to every practicing
physician in the United Stales
covering vaccine developments.
On the evening of the Francis
report (April 12, 1955) an esti
mated 40,000 physicians saw and
heard a closed-circuit profes
sional telecast summarizing the
results of the 1954 vaccine trails.

Army To Start New
Training Program
For Brainwashing
Washington (U.R) The
Army soon will begin a realistic
but "controlled" program to
train soldiers how to withstand
Communist brainwashing "and
torture.
The new program, it was dis
closed Saturday, appears to be
designed to forestall the critic
ism that hit the Air Force for
the prisoner of war training
camp it maintains' at Stead Air
Force Base in Nevada.
A new Army regulation now
is being circulated to all Army
commands. It is designed to im
plement the military code of
conduct issued last August by
President Eisenhower.
The code, the products of
months of study within the De
fense department, was an out
growth .of the Korean War dur
ing which some American mili
tary men succumbed to Com
munist indoctrination and brain
washing. Regulations Stated
The Army regulation states
that commanders will insure
that "maximum realism pre
vails" in tactical Army exercises
and that emphasis be placed on
evasion and escape training.
However, it says that captors
of prisoners in such exercises
"may not subject prisoners to
indignities or physical pressure.
