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-

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.

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

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.

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?"

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.
Sarnoff was the second net
work president to appear before
the committee in its investiga
tion into whether it is necessary
to place the networks under
government regulation.
Frank Stan'on, president of
Columbia Broadcasting System,
told the committee Wednesday

not necessary and that there is
"stiff comDetition" in the tele
vision industry.

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.-
