EIGHT MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, Junt 14. 19SI Successful Use of Salk Vaccine During Polio Outbreak Revealed Chicago 'UK Capt. John R. Seal of the Navy Medical Corps Hid today that Salk vaccine was used during an outbreak of polio in Honolulu and did not provoke paralysis as some medi cal scientists had feared. Seal disclosed details of the Inoculation program in a paper presented at the 105th annual convention of the Amercian Medical Association. The polio outbreak occurred among Navy personnel and de pendents in Hawaii between July, 1955, and March, 1956. First Such Test Seal said some doctors had felt that mass inoculation during an outbreak of the disease might result in paralysis of some per sons who otherwise might not be so affected. But he said experi ence during the Hawaiian out- DON EDWARDS District Agent 414 E. Main Ph. 3-5361 break disproved, tentatively at least, this belief. The Navy inoculation pro gram, he said, was the first time Salk vaccine was used during an outbreak. He said it had been known since 1950 that immuniz ing injections to ward off diph theria and tetanus, for example, can provoke paralysis if admin istered during a polio outbreak. Penicillin injections can do the same, he said. "There has been considerable concern that poliomyelitis vac cine, used during an outbreak of the disease, might show a similar ability to provoke para lysis," Seal said. "For this reason, the decision to carry out the vaccination pro gram was made only after con siderable consideration of the known benefit against the pos sible hazard." Cigarettes and Liquor Earlier, Dr. Edward P. Lu ongo medical director of the General Petroleum Corp. of Los Angeles, reported that a few cigarettes a day and a few high balls before dinner won't cause heart trouble. In fact, a touch of alcohol, now and then can even cut down .the anxieties which often lead to heart trouble, according to the Luongo report. It was based on a study of 100 company employees suffering from coronary disease, as com pared to 200 other persons who don't have heart trouble. The number of persons who used to bacco and alcohol was about 18 per cent in both groups. "To date, there is no convinc ing evidence in the literature that smoking tobacco has any effect in accelerating sclerosis or producing coronary disease," Luongo said. The same goes for drinking, he said, and added "There is evi dence ... that in moderation alcohol may diminish the work load of the heart by reducing the pressure in the small peripheral arteries. Luongo cautioned that his statements on tobacco do not mean there are no bad effects from smoking on already dis eased coronary arteries.

Formal Opening of Candle Room Set At Hotel Friday The . formal opening of the Candle Room, Medford hotel's latest addition featuring char coal broiled foods, is scheduled for Friday. The new room will open at 8 p.m. and will close at 1 a.m. daily, Monday through Satur day. On Sundays it will be open from 2 p.m. until midnight. Completion of the Candle Room marks the final phase of the ground floor modernization, according to Asa I. Arnsberg, owner, and Dan Marmo, newly appointed co-manager of the hotel. Two more remodeling projects remain to be done before the overall program has been ac complished, Arnsberg said. One is complete renovation of the 20 rooms on the south side of the building. The rooms, Arnsberg said, will have air conditioning, television, combination tubs and showers with sliding glass doors in fully tiled bathrooms, and new furniture. The second project is the addi tion of new women's and men's rest rooms on the lower level. They will be tiled and mirrored with a dressing table for the women and an entry waiting room. Arnsberg said he is now build ing a new addition to the Ump qua hotel in Roseburg. It is a banquet room that will seat 500 people. This will be completed in August, he .said, and if it proves successful there, plans will be drawn for a banquet room addition to the Medford hotel. 'Disillusioned' Man Faces Mental Test After Playing 'Tarzan' on Church Tower Dutch People Told Of Royal Rift Over Influence of Healer Amsterdam (U.R) Leading Dutch newspapers broke a self imposed silence today and in formed the Dutch people for the first time of the rumored rift between Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard because of a faith healer. The rumors said the queen originally sought the services of Miss Greet Hofmans, a 61 year old spinster, in helping the eyesight of 9-year-old Princess Marijke, but that Miss Hofman's influence now extended to mat ters of state. Abdication Seen The reports said Queen Juli ana and Bernhard had split over the issue and that there was a possibility the queen might abdicate. The Dutch newspapers dis missed the idea of a constitution al crisis caused by the faith healer and said speculation over the queen's abdication was "pre posterous." . Miss Hofmans herself, in an interview with United Press Correspondent Arnoud de Jong, said "all this talk about politics is . pure nonsense." She denied any interest in politics and de nied reports she had influenced the queen In state matters. But most Dutch citizens went to the polls in Wednesday's par liamentary elections unaware that the stories claimed the al leged rift was causing a 'consti tutional crisis. Idea Dismissed The independent De Telegraff, in a front page editorial today, dismissed the idea of a constitu tional crisis and said that "wild stories" about the royal family had been circulating abroad for more than three years. As for Miss Hofman's role, it said, "A mother who is con-, cerned with the health of one of her children, clings to every straw which may be helpful, be sides medical aid. Who would like to blame a mother for this?" JBeaver Boys PJan Party With Girls ' Salem (U.R) Some 425 Beaver Boys State delegates will move here from Corvallis to- morrasvv for a street parade and a party with 240 delegates to a Girls State get-together on the Willamette University campus.

' The girls will elect their gov ernor today from candidates Linda Thompson of Astoria and Diane Chaney of Portland. Forestry Department Plans Staff Increase Salem (U.R) Permanent staff of the U. S. Forestry De partment here will be increased from 25 to 32 foresters, District Forester Otto C. F. Krueger re ported today. Krueger said the increase would enable the district to step up its land management activi ties including" a re-inventory of timber resources. The forester said eight sum mer employees would also aug ment the staff. NBC President Called In Monopoly Hearing Washington (U.R) The Sen ate Commerce Committee today called Robert Sarnoff, president of the National Broadcasting Company, for questioning on whether the television industry is falling under monopolistic control.

Riverside Phone 2-6882' OPEN 1:30 AM. to 3:30 tM. Cambridge, Mass. U.R) A "disillusioned" elevator opera tor underwent mental tests to day after horrifying onlookers for 90 minutes Wednesday night by playing "Tarzan" on a church cross 183 feet above the street amid an electrical storm. Godfrey A. Sherman Jr., 28, of Cambridge, finally was talked down from St. Paul's Catholic church in Harvard Square by his brother, Henry J. Sherman, The younger Sherman,, an amateur actor, at times swung by- one hand from the arm f the 15-foot cross. At other times, he munched on a sandwich and an orange and drank from a pint of gin. As he did, a thunderstorm rumbled and lightning bolts split leaden sky behind the lone figure. Tosses Bottle to Crowd Before being induced to leave his lofty perch, Sherman heaved the gin bottle to a crowd of some 2500 below. Before that he tossed a handful of coins to the street. ' Bells in the church tower just below the cross pealed eight o'clock the moment Sher man gave in to his brother's pleas and headed down. "Nobody , loves me, I'm dis illusioned," Sherman mumbled to police and his brother as he was led away. He was taken to Boston City Hospital and ordered committed to Westboro State hospital for observation. Rescue Accomplished Police said the older Sherman risked his own Jife by climbing to a staging on the bell tower to beg his brother to give up his acrobatic feats and come down. The younger Sherman finally inched his way over slippery slate and copper on the tower roof and was grabbed by police waiting with the brother on the staging, which has been erected to repair the brick tower. The old brother said Sherman h quently became despondent after drinking but never had tried to kill himself. He said he had been sent to Westboro once before but was released when doctors "found nothing wrong with him." "He's a good kid but gets mel ancholy," the brother said. Hawaii Fights Said 'Isolated Incidents' Honolulu -flJ.R-Military and civilian authorities pooh-poohed today any suggestion that two recent classes between Negro and White American servicemen were more than "isolated inci dents." Within a week's time a free swinging brawl between Negro and White crewmen of the car rier U.S.S. Lexington and a street fight between Negro Ma rines and White Sailors had grabbed front page attention. One White seaman was killed and several others hospitalized with injuries ranging from stab wounds to head cuts from flying beer cans in the two outbursts of racial animosity.- Wherr refined all sugars are colorless and odorless and can not b distinguished by ordi nary fhaminl testa.
