TOUGH ASSIGNMENT BUT HERE tT IS Photographer Sandy Gandy was assigned
to make a picture of a tarpon being caught with the Tampa, Fla., skyline in the back
ground to publicize Tampa's annual Tarpon Tournament The photo could not be
faked, so Gandy had to sit for hours opposite the boat of fisherman Joe Savarese. The
patience paid for both Joe got his tarpon and Sandy got this excellent shot. In the
boat with Savarese are his wife and son, Jody.
Every Reason Seen To Hope for
Light Year in Polio Case Load
By LOUIS CASSELS
UniUd Pratt Correspondent
Wahincton ir Health au
thorities said today there i ev
rrv rrmmn tn hope that this will
he a light year
year for polio.
But it is stiil
loo early to be
sure.
The polio
seapon is just
now getting
under way.
The number
of cases usu-
Loun Cattela ally f I i m bn
kadily from late June until
August or September.
So far this year, there have
been only about half as many
polio cases as thre were during
the same period of lflofi and
185,4 was itelf light year by
comparison with the pre-Salk
-arcine era.
Public Health Service figures
published last wek showed
1.QJ8 polio cases reported
through the 23 weeks ending
June 8. compared with 2,040
during the same period last year.
A spokesman said the figures
"are not very significant" this
early in the season. Some of the
worst epidemics have begun in
.July or August after a compara
tively slow start.
fc5.000.000 Vaccinated
The main reason for hoping
that this year" record will con
tinue to be good, he said, is that
nearly three-fourths of the peo
ple in the most susceptible group
have received some degree of
nrotection from Salk vaccine.
By June 1, 65.000.000 Ameri
cans had received one or more
Salk shots. Nine million of these
were vaccinated during April
and May.
Polio strikes hardest among
youths under 20 and among
pregnant women There are 67,
000.0110 people in this group, and
54,000.000 of them have had one
or more shots.
Although polio incidence de
clines above age 20, it continues
to be a substantial threat to all
ages below 40. Only 11,000,000
of the 42,000,000 Americans oth
er than pregnant women: be
tween the ages of 20 and 40 have
received shots.
Health Drire Successful
The American Medical asso
ciation and other health groups
launched a nationwide drive las'.
February to vaccinate everyone
under 40. The response far ex
ceeded expectations.
Within a few weeks, the "get
vaccinated" campaign had stim
ulated such a heavy demand for
vaccine that a backlog of 26.
000,000 shots, built up during
the winter, was exhausted.
By March 30, there was an
acute nationwide shortage, and
Surgeon General LeRoy H
Burney called an emergency
conference to consider rationing
At that time, the national inven
tory of Salk shots stood at 3.200,
000 doses the lowest since the
vaccine was released for use in
1955.
The March 30 conference de
cided to soft-pedal mass vaccina
tion programs for adults until
fall. In the meantime, communi
ties were urged to give priority
to young people under 20 and
pregnant women. With these ad
justments, it was felt that no
return to voluntary rationing
was necessary.
Decision Vindicated
Time seems to have vindicated
this decision. Despite wide
spread vaccination programs for
school children during the past
two months, supplies have held
up well. By mid-June, the na
tional inventory was 9.200. 000
shots, an increase of six million
since March 30.
With manufacturers scheduled
to release about 20 million more
shots during July, health offi
cials believe that supplies will
he ample to meet all demands
during the summer unless an
unexpectedly severe epidemic
should develop.
The Public Health Service de
voutly hopes that adults who
have postponed getting their
shots will go ahead with inocu
lations this fall and winter,
when supplies again begin to
pile up. The National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis and
the American Medical associa
tion plan to launch new adult
vaccination drives then.
Until the great majority of
adults, as well as young people,
have the protection of the vac
cine, polio will continue to be a
threat.

Students Will
Prevent War
Syracuse. N.Y. dpi The dean
of the public affairs school at
Syracuse University believes
"there is not going to be a big
war" because students of today
will prevent it by going into
"overseamanship."
He described this as "the fast
est growing career in the world"
and a new one for most Ameri
cans. It involves, he points out,
"travel and work overseas."
Dean Harlan Cleveland said
thousands of Americans are now
working abroad and the number
will continue to increase. Not
only members of the diplomatic
corps, but secretaries, doctors,
nurses and engineers represent
the United States in their work
overseas, Cleveland said in call
ing attention to the need for
well-trained persons to fill these
posts.
"You are more likely to go
overseas at some time in your
life than you are to stay at home
all your life." he tells prospec
tive college students. "Our Am
erican strength, which gives us
a special responsibility to keep
the peace, makes this inevitable."
19 Weather Men
Scan Skies for
Tropica! Death
Miami. Fla. V From June;
through November. 19 men in a '
Miami penthouse scan the skies
for swirling, tropical death.
These Weather Bureau, Air .
Force, and Navy weather men i
keep their grim vigil in the Joint j
Hurricane Warning Cenier atop I
the 16-story Lindsey - Hopkifis
Building.
The warning center beams in- i
iormalion on each storm during
the six-month "hurricane sea
son to ilonrias resort-studded
Gold Coast and other areas in
the path of the big blows."
Last year, considered a "mild"
hurricane season, eight tropical
storms took 78 lives and caused
almost 68 million dollars dam
age. Storms are classified as
hurricanes when their winds ex
ceed 73 miles an hour.
Eyes of the warning center are
Air Force and Navy weather
reconnaissance planes which
daily scout a million and a half
square miles of ocean along the
U.S. and Canadian coasts from
Newfoundland to the Gulf of
Mexico.
Navy planes, based at the
Jacksonville Naval Air Station,
watch the Caribbean, breeding
ground of hurricanes.
The Air Force's famous 59th
"hurricane hunter" squadron
from Bermuda tracks storms in
the Atlantic from Puerto Rico
to Newfoundland.
Information op the force and
direction of the hurricanes also
is d.spatched to the warning cen
ter from civilian and military
ground posts Ground and air
borne radar helps spot the
storms.
To gather complete data on
a hurricane the Air Force and
Navy flyers batter their way
to the eerily calm "eye" of the
storm through winds often ex
ceeding 100 miles an hour and
murk so thick they sometimes
can't see their wingtips.
When a tropical disturbance
is sighted, the warning center
swings into an around-the-clock
operation. Bulletins are issued
every six hours giving the loca
tion of the hurricane and its
probable movement during the
next 12 hours.
Again this year the hurricanes
will be given female names
despite a small storm of protest
from some women.
This year's storms will he

Big Planes Used
For Family Reunion
Chicago W Family reunions
in the aeronautic world are as
easy as sitting down in the cock
pit of a DC-7.
In fact, a DC-7 is just the ve
hicle that Joseph Bohl, 48. and
his son Walter, 22, use for their
own reunions in Chicago.
The elder Bohl learned to fly
in the old Army Air Corps., and
has been piloting for United
Air Lines since 1939. He now
captains four-engine DC-7s be
tween San Francisco and Chi
cago. Walter Bohl won his wings as
a United flight officer last April.
One of the youngest flight offi
cers in the business, Walter was
assigned to DC-7s and DC-6s be
tween Newark and Chicago.
The father lives in San Carlos,
Calif., and the son in Newark,
N. J., but distance doesn't bother
them.
Twice each month the Bohls'
chedules overlap in Chicago and
three thousand miles vanish into
thin air.
Weather Flights Said Wearisome
Washington W A weather
reconnaissance flight is a back
wearying. 15-hour, 3,700-mile
grind for the 10-man crews of
the Air Firce's Air Weather
Service, celebrating its 20th an
niversary. In the nose of a specially-modified
B-50 a weather observer
hunches over a radar set whose
monotonous bleeps report pres
sure areas, cloud formations and
storms.
Every few hundred miles a
drop-sonde is tossed out. This is
an instrument-p a c k e d, parachute-borne
packet that radios
back to the plane the tempera
ture, humidity, and air pressure
at various altitudes as it des
cends. The seven Air Force weather
reconnaissance squadrons spot
ted around the globe fly 35,000
miles a day, mostly over water,
gathering weather data where
ground .observation posts can't
operate.
Information gathered on the
long flights, and from ground
posts, is broadcast by the Air
I Force every thiee hours. Elec-
tronic brains digest the data and
print charts showing probable
pressure patterns for the next
j 24 hours.
I AWS weather forecasts are
j vital to civilian air and ship lin-
es as well as to the military
j services.
I One Air Force reconnaissance
squadron based at Bermuda is
nicknamed "The Hurricane
i Hunter." Another at Guam is
! known as "The Typhoon Chas
ler." In the spring flights in the
j North Atlantic are on the look
out for icebergs.
Cither AWS squadrons are bas
ed at Burtonwood, England; Yo
kota AFB, Japan; Hickam AFB,
Hawaii; Eielson AFB Alaska;
and McClellan AFB, Calif. ,
When the old Army Air Corps
took over the 40 Signal Corps
weather stations and formed the
.Air Weather Service in 1937, the
AWS was composed of six offi
cers and 180 enlisted men?
Today the AWS has 12,000
