Polio Remains Dangerous Crippler Despite Development of Salk Vaccine Editor's note: The polio story if mostlv a brizht one. due to the Salk vaccine. But it tiU has its trim side.

BIG Seed Y Supply By MICHAEL J. O'NEILL United Press Correspondent New York U.R) Johnny Smith, 5, felt pretty lousy when he woke up. Didn't bounce out of bed as usual. Had a case of sniffles. His brow, under his mother's hand, felt hot. She wasn't too alarmed. Colds had hit like this before and, in that amazing way children have, just as suddenly disappeared. But she kept him in bed, took his temperature. It was just over 100 degrees. 1 By nightfall, it had gone up to 102. And Johnny had developed a stiff neck. When his dad came home from work the Smiths de cided to call the doctor. Johnny Smith is one of those who got polio. Maybe he got it despite a Salk shot or maybe he didn't get an inoculation. But he is a symboile reminder that we haven't won the war against polio. Not yet. As diseases go, polio is not a big killer. But it inspires fear because it is a crippler, a trag edy for those it hits hard. It be gins when the insidious polio virus is transmitted from one person to another in ways which are not always clear. The virus often moves through the intestines and into the bowel, breaks through the bowel walls and settles in fatty tissue, growing and multiplying. In time, the virus, for some rea son, leaves the fatty tissue and enters the bloodstream. This is the point at which the Salk vaccine helps the body fight the invader. If the body's defenses do not stop the virus here, it settles in the central nervous system, gradually de stroying the nerve cells which control arms, legs, lungs and other vital areas. Paralysis re sults. The first symptoms are usually the same as those of a dozen other diseases, fever, headache, Anniversary Ride Ends In Pursuit Detroit (U.R) The J. L Hudson Co. resumed horse drawn delivery wagon service to day despite a near disaster on its trial run. The firm sent out a wagon, two horses and a driver, George McEwen, 60, yesterday to make deliveries on the city's east side in commemoration of its 75th anniversary. The trouble started, McEwen said, when "some kids in a hot rod kept roaring by in an effort to rattle the animals." The horses reared, tossing Mc Ewen out of the wagon, and then took off down the street, side swiping a car. McEwen, who had thumbed a ride from a passing motorist, was in hot pursuit. The chase ended when the team crashed into a parked car and became entangled. McEwen said neither he nor the horses were injured. Ava Gardner Held By Italian Customs Rome (U.R) Italian cus toms officials detained actress Ava Gardner for an hour last night when she arrived here from Madrid with an expired passport. Ava, who was accompanied by American movie director Fred H. Herbert, said she flew to Rome for a few days to buy three dresses from the Rome fashion house which is making Margaret Truman's trousseau. But when customs men glanc ed at her passport they found it had expired. Ava waited for an hour in the Ciampino airport bar while custom officials fixed the problem. Passport Control, gave her a temporary permit to stay in Rome pending renewal of the passport.

In many persons the disease ends here without lasting harm, without even be ing diagnosed. But if the virus makes the jump to the nervous system, the symptoms become more distinc tive stiff neck, pain in the ex tremities, unusual sensitivity of the skin, stiff back, and finally muscular weakness and loss of control. 'Predisposing Influence' Why does polio hit some peo ple harder than others. The. rea son is that some receive heavier doses of the virus, some get types II or III which are often less severe than type I, and some have more natural resist ance. Some authorities say there are "predisposing influences",, such as a recent tonsillectomy, which are followed by the deadly bul bar polio more often than might be expected. Severe exertion, stress, injury, or even minor things like injections for dip theria also seem to contribute to the severity of a polio case. I visited a cheerful little ward in Mt. Sinai hospital here in New York. A teen-age boy strug gled to move his frail arm. It hung limply on slings in front of him. A respirator heaved rhythmi cally on his chest, forcing air in and out out of his lungs. Two young nurses adjusted the slings and told him to try again. This time the arm moved, ever so little. A triumphant smile washed over his face. "It moved. I've got flexion," he said And everyone congratulated him. But that arm will never work really well again. Last August, the boy was hit by polio. He will be a cripple for life. Only about 4 per cent of those who get polio die. But there are tens of thous ands of others like the boy who had polio in years gone by, and will still get it. Sees Polio Controlled Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis, discussed the problem as we talked in his Waldorf Astoria suite. "The vaccine is going to bring paralytic polio under control in four or five years," he said. "I don't think there's any ques tion about it. But it's going to take eight or nine years to cut down on the terrific patient load and there probably will be some cases for a long time after that." O'Connor first began fighting polio with the late President Roosevelt 31 years ago. The foundation now takes care of 60,000 polio victims. It is spend ing $30,000,000 a year to pro vide therapy, medical care, hos pitalization and nursing. The outlay for a single patient some times runs to $30,000. The foundation spent millions to develop the Salk vaccine to prevent polio. It is spending mil lions more in the weary search for better ways to treat poilo, possibly even to cure it. Vaccine eventually may end the scourge of polio. But never for these people in Mt. Sinai, and many like them all over the country. 10 OFF FOR 10 DAYS!
