Id has filed a $7,500 damage
"it against writer James
Brough who helped her write
her AUTOBIOGRAPHY,
She charged that Broueh

UMMMMMM.
11 Mr. Webster defines
"autobiography" thus:
"A biography WRITTEN
BY THE SUBJECT OF IT;
memoirs of ONE'S LIFE writ
ten BY ONESELF."
Question:
How can you hire some
body to write your AUTO
biography? PERSONALLY, I am no
more Interested in an auto
biography written by a hired
stooge than in a political
speech written by a hired
ghost writer. I

ties - which spotlights this
dispatch from Washington:
Private GOP estimates in
dicated today that close to 40
per cent of the Republicans
who voted in the Wisconsin
Presidential primary on Tues
day of last week crossed over
the party line to cast ballots
in the Democratic race.
Senator Humphrey says HE
polled a majority of the
DEMOCRATIC votes and the
GOP votes provided Ken
nedy's margin of victory.
Senator Kennedy denies this
and claims that the results
would have been the same if
only Democrats had been al
lowed to vote in Wisconsin's
Democratic primary.
THE BIG qustion:
WHY did the Republi
cans cross over?
If we knew that, we'd know
more about the grass roots
political situation in this cam
paign year of I960 than we
know now.
SOME advice to the average
voter:
In this political campaign,
the big issue is WHO. OF ALL
THE ASPIRANTS FOR THE
PRESIDENCY. WILL MAKE
THE BEST PRESIDENT FOR
ALL THE PEOPLE?
Keep this In mind:
We're in the process of hir
ing a man for the biggest job
in the world. Who will make
the best manager for ALL of
us?
Don't let this political tub
thumping sweep you off your
feet.

Foreign Students
Speak at Meeting
Of Local Ministers
Two foreign students at
Southern Oregon college told
of their impressions of the
Christian faith in the United I
States at the Tuesday morn
ing meeting of the Medford
Ministerial association.
Students who spoke at the
meeting were Dusan Pasic,
Yugoslavia, and Gil Banaag,
Philippine Islands. The boys,
both seniors at the college,
have spent two years and four
years, respectively, in the
United States.
Both students were impress
ed by the number of persons
who attend church in the
United States saying that at
first they thought it was a
"very" Christian country.
Pasic said that he was a
Greek Orthodox member by
birth. The number of Protes
tant denominations surprised
him and he added that he had
had trouble understanding the
meaning of church member
ship in the United States.
Number of Churches
Banaag also mentioned the
many different churches in
each community in the United
States. He said that the Roman
Catholic church is the pre
dominate religious group in
the Islands so many communi
ties there had only one
church. He added that he
would encourage more church-j
es in each town.
He said that he enjoyed at
tending different churches in
Ashland and particularly lik
ed the singing.
Pasic and Banaag comment
ed that they had also met per
sons here that were more
concerned with material
things than the spiritual. Al
though both agreed that Chris
tianity seemed a vital part of
the lives of Americans.

Pauley Denies
Try To Sabotage
Demo Convention
Los Angeles-ICPD - Oilman
Edwin W. Pauley, who resign
ed his post last fall with the
Democratic National Conven
tion Host committee after a
bitter battle over convention
tickets, Sunday- night denied
reports he was attempting to
sabotage conventibn fund
raising efforts.
Pauley admitted writing a
letter questioning the legality
of claiming tax reductions for
contributions to the conven
tion. But, he said, the letter was
written to his attorney to seek
a legal opinion on the matter.
It was not to his knowledge
distributed to potential con
tributors, said Pauley.
Wanted Advice
"They (the fund-ralsine com
mittee) were asking me and
companies I'm affiliated with
for a contribution and I want
ed to get advice on it," Pauley
said. "If I get a ruling that
it's legal, I'll contribute."
Other party officials here
were surprised both at the
report that Pauley should be
accused of attempted sabotage
and, at least by one official.
California Commit teeman
Paul Ziffren, that Pauley
should doubt convention con
tributions are legally deduct
ible. '
"It sounds like scuttlebutt
rumor to me, said Mark
Boyar, convention Finance
committee chairman.
Ruling From Treasury
We got a ruling from the
Treasury Department that it's
tax deductible as a nonprofit
enterprise," said Boyar. "It's
hard for me to believe Mr.
Pauley would do anything
like this.
"He's a good Democrat and
he's responsible for bringing
the convention here."
Boyar added that hit com
mittee already has raised
$300,000 of $450,000 needed
to cover convention costs. He
said he expects to raise the
rest of the money without
trouble.

Ann Arbor, Mich. - fllPD - A
short, bespectacled scientist
arose behind a lectern five
years ago to announce to the
world that the Salk vaccine
was safe, effective and po
tent preventive of paralytic
polio.
The heartwarming news on
April 12, 1955. that the crip
pling disease, dating from the
dawn of recorded history,
could at last be brought un
der control was flashed
around the globe.
The scientist. Dr. Thomas
Francis Jr., was fully aware
of the drama which heralded
release from a fear haunting
every American mother and
father. As chairman of the
epidemiology department of
the University of Michigan
School of Public Health, he
had directed the work of
evaluating the results of the
mass field trials of the vac
cine. Vital Quotations
The report given by Fran
cis, acting as director of the
Vaccine Evaluation Center es
tablished by the National
Foundation and financed by
the March of Dimes, contained
these vital quotations:
"On this (the field trials)
basis it may be suggested that
vaccination (is) 80-90 per cent
effective against paralytic
polio ... There is no doubt
now that children can be suc
cessfully inoculated against
paralytic polio . . . The Salk
vaccine has produced an ex
tremely successful effect
against bulbar polio . . ."
The momentous field trials

week during a barroom fight.
Detectives said Robert Lane

said the killing was acci
dental. He was returned here
from East Peoria, 111., Sunday
night after waiving extradi
tion. Shot In Scuffle
Kirkham was arrested Sun
day "when he returned to hit
parked truck in East Feoria.
He was wanted in connection

Osborne was shot to death
in a scuffle while trying to

Francis report began April
za. 1HSV
Some 1,830.000 children,
ages five to nine, participated
with the consent of their par
ents jne cniidren represented
44 states. Some 440.000 of
them received Salk vaccine
shots and another 210,000
were given placebo or innocu
ous dummy injections.
The placebo group, together
with 1,180,000 children who
received no shots of any kind,
served as controls for compar
ison purposes. A coding sys
tem made it impossible to
learn, until months later,
which child had received the
Salk shots or the dummy in
jections, identical in color
with the vaccine.
300.000 Volunteers
More than 300.000 volun
teer doctors, nurses, teachers
and thousands from National
Foundation charters worked
on the field trials. In an ava
lanche of mail the following
year came the answer to the
basic question:
Were antibodies, created in
this way and in these
amounts, effective in prevent
ing paralysis caused by natur
al infection?
The answer: Today, the
United States Public Health
Service and the National
Foundation regard the vac
cine as 90 per cent effective.
The United States Public
Health Service licensed the
vaccine for mass production a
few hours after reading the
Francis report on the field
trials.
The National Foundation
had guaranteed in advance
enough Salk vaccine for nine
million children (three shots
each) if the Francis report
proved favorable. It was pre
pared to gamble $9 million in
March of Dimes contributions
on the outcome of the field
trials, so that the vaccine
would be available against the
next polio season.
Many knowledgeable scien
tists were fully aware that the
battle against polio was cer
tainly not yet won. But mil
lions of people who had been
terrified of polio became com
placent.
Nevertheless, use of the
vaccine was followed by a
sharp downward trend in par
alytic polio. In 1955, the dis
ease struck at 13.850; In 1958,
the total dropped to 7,911: In
1957. to 2,499: In 1958, to
3,697. For 1959, the provision
al figure ia 5,694, a substan
tial, ominous return.
Educational Campaign
To combat Indifference and
ignorance, the National Foun
dation undertook in 1955 a
nationwide educational campaign.
