Mass Asian Flu '
Shots Unnecessary
Berkeley iTP Wendell M.
Stanley, Nobel Prize winner and
one of the world's foremost au
thorities on viruses, believes
there is no need for mass im
munization against Asian flu.
"It's a mild disease," he said
Monday. "You don't have to
worry about it too much."
Stanley disagreed with a pan
el of doctors who said in San
Francisco last Friday that mass
immunization would do more
harm than good and might
even cause some deaths.
"When and if the vaccine is
available," he said, "it might be
a good idea to use it. But I
wouldn't recommend mass im
munization. There simply is not
enough Asian Flu around to
warrant it.
"Much of the disease called
Asian Flu is probably the" com
mon cold or some other flu
strains."
Stanley first developed a flu
vaccine while at Princeton in
1942-44. He has since moved
his virus laboratory to the Uni
versity of California.
He said the Army has been
using that vaccine for the past
12 years. He said it has proven
75 per cent effective during outbreaks.
Dave Beck's Remarks
Puzzle To Schrunk
Portland OP) Mayor Terry
Schrunk said today he has no
idea why Teamster Chieftain
Dave Beck should have referred
to him in a keynote speech to the
Teamster convention in Miami
Beach.
Beck told the delegates that
Schrunk had been exonerated by
jury trial after being "pilloried"
by the Senate Rackets Commit
tee headed by Sen. John McClel
lan of Arkansas.
Schrunk said today, "I do dis
approve of the procedures of the
McClellan Committee. Even so, I
didn't take the fifth amendment
as Mr. Beck did." '
The Mayor added, "I don't
know anything about Mr. Beck's
case or his situation. A duly
constituted court of law should
determine whether he is guilty."

Salem (IP) More tourists en

Carl Jordan, director of travel
information for the State High
way department, said more than
1,400,000 out-of-state cars
poured into Oregon this year
about 45,000 more than in 1956.
However, the S130 million
they spent was under the record
of $141 million paid out last
year.
Jordan said he thought the
drop off in spending "was due to
more budget consciousness on
the part of vacationists.
