Domestic Pets S Possible Reservoirs For Polio Viruses Br OELOS SMITH United ?ress Science Editor New York ffl Science's long-held suspicion that vari ous animals which live with people can serve as "reser voirs" of polio viruses has been proved against one species. This indicates quite strongly that what one species can do, others can do, too. Type I polio virus was found in a budgerigar, which is the Australian parakeet or "love bird." This bird evi dently infected its nine-year-'old master with the virus, and the boy subsequently died of bulbar polio. LeMay Sets Nonstop To Capital Honolulu W Gen. Cur tis LeMay, Air Force vice chief of staff, prepared to fly nonstop today from Hickam Field, Hawaii, to Andrews Air Force Base near Washing ton, D.C. LeMay was to leave this morning aboard a KC135 jet tanker. LeMay and his wife arrived in Honolulu Wednesday night after a nonstop flight from New Zealand. They had gone there to represent the United States as New Zealand cele brated the anniversary of its air force. LeMay paused only long enough after his arrival to tell newsmen that ballistic mis siles will never replace big bombers. "Missiles never will re place the human element in warfare," he said. "Missiles have no bearing on the effec tiveness of the B47." LIVE EASTER SHOW Chicago (IP) The Museum of Science and Industry prom ised today that week end vis itors need be only moderately patient to see an Easter sym bol in the flesh. They have arranged to have 100 ready-to-hatch eggs placed in a glass-walled incubator each day so visitors can watch the chicks peck their way out. The U. S. government buys about 10 million tons of coal a year. The confirmation compli cates the prospects for an ul timate eradication of the dis ease in people. After all hu man beings are protected by the Salk vaccine, which is not a too remote goal, you would still have 'reservoirs" of viruses around to attack hu man beings whose immunity had lapsed. 'Reservoirs' Suspected Over the years such house hold and barnyard familiars as dogs, cats, and chickens have been suspected of being "reservoirs." Once, suspicion even pointed to the mole which, despite human objec tions is fond of living close to people. But none of these suspected "associations" was proved. Two budgerigars lived in a cage in Glasgow. One came down with an illness which paralyzed its legs, and died. The other had leg paralysis, too, but began recovering. During its convalescence, it was allowed out of the cage. Playfully it grabbed the boy's lip with its beak and held on: Seven days later the boy fell ill and two days later it was apparent he had bul bar polio. Four days later he died. Type I polio viruses were isolated from his stool. No one thought of a con nection at first. But about three weeks later, scientists of the University of Glasgow and the local health depart ment investigated. Type I polio viruses were isolated from the bird's droppings. Bird Had Virus The bird was killed and its intestinal tract contained viruses. Because of their import ance, Drs. I. C. Monro, R. C. Sommerville, and C. C. Cuth bert reported these findings as a "preliminary communi cation" to the international technical journal, "The Lan cet." Their "main purpose," they said, "is to draw atten tion once more to the possi bility of transmission of polio myelitis by domestic pets." The significance was that not only had the bird been in fected with the virus; it had excreted viruses capable of transmitting the disease to human beings, for at least three weeks. BURIED ALIVE Malibu sheriffs deputies dig with their hands at a tank-truck buried in a mammoth earth-slide near Pacific Palisades, Calif., which claimed the life of Highway Supt. V. 0.

Thousands of people with modest incomes have been able to save the down payment, or the. whole price, of the home of their dreams because they invested in U. S. Savings Bonds on the Payroll Savings PlanVhere they work. You, too, can accumulate enough money for the down payment on a home. Or enough for your children's college edu' cation or a retirement income. And by saving only a few dollars a week, too. The answer is that you save systematically on the Payroll Savings Plan. All you have to do is tell your pay office how much you've decided to save each payday (it can be as little as a couple of dollars); After that your money is saved fir you. befort you get your salary. Then each time enough has accumulated, it is in vested in a Bond, and the Bond turned over to you. And remember your U. S. Savings Bonds now will bring you an average of 3 interest, compounded semiannually, for 19 years and 8 months. That's why the money you put into Bonds now grows to such a surprisingly big sum. Why don't you start today? Sign, where you work, for the Payroll Savings Plan. Or, if you're self-employed, join the Bond-A-Month Plan, at your bank. Tbt Oit Gtvtrttmtnt im ml psj fff tba tdrtruuma.
