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. Sheff, of Venice, Calif. Sheff was
killed when 600,000 tons of earth fell from a cliff as he
and his men worked to clear away dirt from an earlier
landslide on the Pacific Coast highway.

LOTS TO LEARN
By Nulade Annie
DEAR ANNABELLE: I have the dearest, sweetest
hubby in the world (we have been married five weeks),
but I just can't stand by mother-in-law! She was over
one day and just about had a fit because I was not using
NULADE eggs in a recipe I was making. I got hard
boiled and told her an egg is an egg. Besides we're so
much in love we don't care what we eat. BRIDEY
MURRY.
DEAR BRIDEY: You and your hubby can't live on love,
but YOU can live and learn! Maybe an egg is an egg,
but all eggs are not NULADE . . . only the best! And
for that wonderful husband of yours, nothing but the
best local farm-fresh NULADE eggs should do. Don't
you think? As for your feelings about your mother-in-law:
remember, if it hadn't been for her, you wouldn't
have had HUBBY!
CONFIDENTIAL TO A.L.L.: Your grocery never for

WHICH ONE OO YOU WANT?
you can have your dream bouse this easy way!
A dream? Not at all. 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.
