Market Cul Feared
By Yugoslav People
Belgrade, Yugoslavia W In
itial Yugoslav reaction to West
Germany's severance of diplo
matic relations was fear that
Yugoslavia would be cut off
from her best foreign market.
Unofficial sources expressed
concern that the break would
close the West German market
to Yugoslavia. Foreign markets
are vital to this undeveloped
country, and West Germany has
been Yugoslavia's best customer.
Informed sources said the gov
ernment decided to recognize
the East German regime on the
grounds that existence of two
German states is a reality and
that reunification can be ach
ieved only by the two states
reaching agreement on their
own.
The sources said recognition
of both Germanys was in accord

Asiatic Influenza
People are getting more and
more alarmed about the Asiatic
influenza. As yet, I cannot see
any reason
for great al
arm because
so far, in most
of the out
breaks, the
d i s e a se has
been mild.
In some, it has
been a bit
more severe
than it was in
Asia. Experts are afraid only for
rather frail elderly persons who,
if they should get an influenzal
pneumonia, might be a bad spot
because the antibiotics do not
influence the tinier viruses, such
as that of the new influenza. Be
cause of this, I'm suggesting
that my elderly patients get at
least one dose of the vaccine
when it is available. First, come
hospital and nursing-home peo
ple: nurses, physicians, pharma
cists and public health person
nel, who must keep on duty if
they can. Second, come preg
nant women, and infants. Third,
come patients who are weaken
ed with disease of the heart or
lungs, diabetes, etc. Fourth, are
school teachers, firemen, police
men, and men in transportation,
communication, and public utili
ties. Fifth, are persons over 50.
Sixth, are the public at large.
I am not insisting on having
strong children and young and
middle-aged persons vaccinated
unless the influenza should get
more severe.
Creating New Life
In the Middle Ages, any man
who had been caught creating
anything new would have
promptly been burned at the
stake. Why? Because creating
was supposed to be a preroga
tive of God alone. As I remem
ber, one of the offenses that
caused Galileo to be arrested
'and threatened with death was
that, with his new telescope, he
had seen the moons of Jupiter,
and since their existence had not
previously been known, in a
way, he had created them, and
this could not be tolerated by
right thinking people.
I wish the good people who
once so wanted to burn Galileo
at the stake could return today
and stay long enough to see all
the creating that is now going
on. First they might be horrified,
but soon they would grow used
to it. Today, in every place
where there is a cyclotron or an
atomic pile, men are making all
sorts of radioactive elements, the
very existence of which was
never known before. Several
new heavy elements have been
made, far out on the list beyond

Years ago man began to make
hybrids, such as a mule or a
hinny, or, more recently, man
crossed a Brahman bull and a
European cow. Later, man learn
ed to produce any number of
hybrid plants that would give a
better yield, or would yield a
quick crop in a far - northern
country, or would be resistant to
the attacks of certain parasites.
In the last year or so remarkable
creations have been reported
from laboratories in which, by
juggling the nucleic acids which
now appear to act like the genes
that determine what an embryo
becomes a man or a dog or an
insect, or a male or a female, or
a theoretical physicist or an
idiot men are making viruses
and bacteria to order: They are
creating new forms of life.
I recently read that at Colum
bia University, Stephen Zamen
hof, Rosalie de Giovanni and
Sheldon Greer, by shuffling nu
cleic acids, have made new
genes, and with them have cre
ated new types of bacteria: some
giants, some dwarfs, and some
grotesquely misshapen. Some of
these bacteria have become es
tablished, and have now repro
duced themselves through 180
generations.
In Holland, some physiologists
have created a new little beastie
that has the body of a mouse, the
blood of a rat and some of the
skin of a rat. The experimenters
changed mice by destroying with
radiation their bone marrow
which forms blood and then
implanting the bone marrow of
a rat.
Some readers are probably
saying, "How stupid. What good
can come out of that?" Natural
ly, scientists cannot foresee all
that will come in the future, but
already they can foresee the
great advantages of being able
to make at will a modified virus
that can perhaps then be turned
into a live vaccine to protect us
or our children from some seri
ous illness. To illustrate; before
1798 almost everyone in the
world had to have smallpox, and
a considerable percentage of the
people died of it. Then, Dr. Wil
liam Jenner found that when the
virus went through a cow, it
was changed so that it would
give man a mild disease called
cow pox, and yet would protect
him from the original smallpox.
With this discovery, one of the
greatest scourges of man was
promptly (almost) wiped off the
globe. Now it looks as if it might
be possible, with chemicals, to
alter the virus that produces a
disease, and quickly make from
it a live vaccine, without having
to hunt for years for some way
of modifying the virus by pass
ing it hundreds of times from
one animal to another.
Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers
will understand that it would be
impossible for him to answer re
quests for information or to at
tempt to diagnose by mail.
