Scientist Develops New Polio Vaccine By WILLIAM MANCHESTER Copyright, Baltimore Evening Sun BALTIMORE It) Working with little children, a John Hopkins scientist has developed and tested a vaccine which gives promise of being effective against all three types of polio, "I am satisfied that It Is possible to produce a satisfactory level of polio antibodies In human beings," Dr. Howard A, Howe, adjunct pro fessor "f epidemiology at Hopkins, said today. Antibodies are specifics agents which can be developed In the blood to produce Immunity against a disease, Using a vaccine made of killed polio virus Dr, Howe found thst It msde children develop antibodies against the virus. He presented his findings today at the annual meet ing ol the American Publlo Health Association In Cleveland. The preparation of a triple vac cine made Dr, Howe's work espec ially difficult. Polio Is really three diseases. Any one of Its three types of virus Lsnslng, Brunhilde or Leon can cripple. A preventive must be aimed at all of them. Dr. Howe warned that the vac cine Isn't ready for use thst he Isn't even sure It will be the vao cine to be used In large trials, Further testing will be necessary to Improve It, Tie children, all 3 to 6 years old, were low-grade Imbeciles at Rosewood State Training School. Their parents agreed to the experi ment. No child wag In danger at any time. They were Inoculated with a vscclne brewed from (1) the spinal cords of monkey stricken with polio and (3) a chemical rendering ine pono viruses Harmless but still capable of producing antibodies, f In 13(0, Dr. Howe had found ".that he, could Immunise ehlmpan- Teenager Killed In Auto Crash A 13-year-old girl became Klsm. alh County's twentieth traffic fa. tallty of Uie yesr over the week, end, and several other persons re. celvod minor Injuries In a series of automobile wrecks.

Eleven bedridden children at Rosewood, In good physical condl tlon despite their handicaps, were chosen lor the human trials. Blood test showed only one of them had antibodies against more than one type of polio virus, before the vaccination. . Dr. Howe decided to give six of mem me vaccine ana nothing to the other five. If the vaccine took, the Inoculated six would develop antibodies In their blood. The others would not. That Is what happened. polio Is as common as measles, but most people don't know they've had It.

However, a USDA report snowa clover moving faster back there than lt waa a year ago at this Ume. The local crop position may be somewhat weakened by reports of a strong Canadian crop which this year waa produced under abnor mally favorable weather conditions Chest Drive Results Good Results In Klamath's Community Chest campaign continue to be very heartening, campaign Di rector Elton Smith said early this afternoon. As Indicated by precampalgn discussions, increased participation by smaller firms and persons in moderate income brackets appears to be closing Uie gap between chest iauurea in past years ana mis year's possible success.

They had enough gaso line to last until about 1 p.m. ana when they failed to report or ap pear at Medford or way point by' mid-afternoon Saturday, the search was launched. Since then, several persona have reported hearing or seeing a light plane in the vicinity oi upper Klamath Lake between 10:30 and 11 o'clock Saturday morning. The airline distance from here to Red mond 142 miles i and the time lapse strongly Indicate that the Lo gans actually were over Upper Klamath before they vanished. Air Force rescue teams new m here yesterday and set up a search esse, similar oases were estao llshed at Redmond and Medford. The Klamath Air Search and Res cue Unit was officially put on the search Saturday night by the State Board of Aeronautics and some half-down Kasru planes participat ed yesterday. In addition, there were civilian planes searching out of Redmond and Medford. Capt. Ray Costello. veteran of many searcn missions in wis area. and Capt. R. R.

The Air Force men based here have set up light-housekeeping In the pilots Club lounge at Municipal Airport.

After leaving; Redmond Saturday morning, the Logans were faced with foul flying weather practical ly all the way irom were to Mea ford. At the time they should have arrived over upper Kiamain, it waa raining and visibility waa near If the Logans did make it as far as Upper Klamath their light plane should not nave nad more than about a two-hour gas supply left. And with the Increasingly bad flying weather to the West, it Is likely they would have attempted to find Municipal Airport here for a landing. However, there Is no positive proof the plane ever reached Up per Klamath; Uie Logans may have come to grief at some point between the lake and Redmond. Yesterday's search from here was concentrated in the area Im mediately west of the lake. But many higher elevations were souped In and they were to be scanned today, weather permitting. There was a heavy ground fg here early this morning but lt was lifted somewhat by Uie sun's beat around ajn. and Kasru planes resumed Uie search. At noon, how ever, the fog was still shrouding the mountain tops around Uie lake. Death Claims Mrs. C. Lowe Mrs. Charles L.

Ballot Measures - No. Reapportionment On November Ballot (This la the ninth and last of a aerlea of articles discussing the various measurea ta be voted upon in Oregon Nov, 4 Ed. note) By HALE SCARBROIGH There hasnt been any full re apportionment of Uie Oregon leg islature, aa provided by We state constitution, for over 40 years. A recurrlnu Question la whether there should be. The situation la that the state constitution directs the legislature to apportion Itself every 10 years on a basis of population, right aft er we leaerai census. But what happens Is that the legislature these last 40 or so years has Just never done Uie Job, so the districts from which our state senators and representatives are elected have remained pretty much the same aa they were in 1910. During those 40-odd years, how ever, the population of Oregon has grown and shifted. Some cities and counties, particularly MuUtio- mah County (Portland) and others west of the Cascades, now have a population time and time acain greater than they had In 1910, but weir representation In th legists. tlve hall Is about the same as lt was so years ago. Eastern flrf(ron fniint!.. Iin..... er, haven't grown In population at anywhere near the rate ot those west of Uie mountains have grown. Some have even lost population. But they have retained represen tation on a basis of their propor tionate population of 40 years ago. Efforts have been made occa sionally to change the situation, but they've always been beaten down.

Wl More thsn- half the country's 375,000 soft coal miners refused to work Monday as a protest against Uie Government-ordered cut in the 114)0 dally wage boost they recently won from the Industry. Come-to-work whistles were Ig nored by 67,500 miners In Western ana central Pennsylvania alone. These diggers iolned the 160.000 miners who refused to work Isst week across the nation while the Wage Stabilization board was de bating approval of the pay hike for miners formerly earning a baa- . 1c minimum dally wage of 116.39. After the WSB approved 11.50 of the pay Increase, bringing the new basic daily wage to 117.85, more miners Joined their Idle (el low workers. OFF JOB Now at least 227,000 are staying , away (rom work, including 30,000 In Kentucky, 12,000 In Ohio, 8,500 in Indiana, 17,000 in Illinois and 700 in Oklahoma. The walkout came at a time when coal stocks are at a near record high. The estimated 85 million tons of stored coal Is Uie biggest stock-- lile in history except for 1842 wnen he supply of coal above ground was around 100 million tons. Ample supplies mean that Indus try and householders won't (eel a coal shortage for two months or more. Most miners sale? they consid ered Uie WSB action as nullifying their contract. Members of the United Mine Workers traditionally won't work without a contract. First positive signs of the walk out appeared in West Virginia when 17,000 miners failed to report (or work on midnight shifts at the Grant Town No. 3 Mine of Eastern Gas and Fuel Association, and the Owing and RlversvUle Minea of Consolidation Coal Company ot West Virginia.

Wayne Morse, Oregon Republican, to vote for Gov. Adlal Stevenson for President, but Republicans de- picrea we action. E. C. Sammons, president of the United States National Bank and treasurer of Morse's 1950 cam paign commented: "There waa once a man named Judas Iscariot. and I don't recall that history ever said be waa a great guy." But Democratic State Chnlrman Howard Morgan likened Morse to George Norris, Gilford Pine hot and Florella LaGuardia, describe! as an "Illustrious group of Republi can who have courage and integ rity enough to place Uie safety cf their nation above obedience to their party." 9 ture Itself or. If the legislature won't do It, the duty would fall to the secretary of state. In either case, any reapportionment would be subject to the review and ap proval of the Supreme Court. Th reapportionment would be done on a population basis. A yes vote means that reappor tionment is favored: a no vote means that things will stay as they are now. There is no doubt that some of the cities and counties of Western Oregon, particularly Portland and that heavily-populated area, don't have the amount of representation in the Oregon legislature that their seem to entitle them to. There Is also no doubt that the present composition ol the legis lature gives the rural counties and Eastern Oregon more authority and representation than they would be entitled to on a strict popula tion basis. But whether a change Is desir able Is open to question. This reapportionment measure Initially has the basing of labor organizations In the more populous districts, of the League of Women Voters, of the Young Republican Federation, of the Young Demo cratic Clubs, snd recently of the Oregon Stste Grange. Opposition Is less unified, and more personal. A good many people apparently feel that the makeup of tthe legisla ture aa lt la now, with the rural, counties having the balance ot pow er. Is all right. Rural legislators, they reason, are apt to be more conservative than ttiose elected from th cities, and aome of the people elected to the legislature from Multnomah (Continued en bar 31 1
